Annie Steals The Show Again With All These Horses

[@carolefearnley1990]

I love how Annie has a close bond with you,she's full of trust,always heads your way

[@maximusopus1108]

Annie is so adorable. She looks so good now under your care. She has blossomed.

[@AL-lz1hb]

Did we just see a perfect example of Annie being made a friend of the Wee Folk? They left her mane braided so you'd know she was special to them. Magic is everywhere, especially in the forest.

[@martineinfrance]

I love Annie's hairstyle😀 she is such a sweety 😍 the way she runs and moves is so elegant! You seem to have had quite a strong wind. I'm glad these "cotton" trees are far from the paddocks. They look so breakable. Thank you for sharing these moments with the horses👏👍 I look forward to seeing the surprise guest!

[@genevievechabot3282]

Button training idea: treats or scratches/grooming? Loved to see Annie running wild with her long mane in the wind! 🤩 She’s is getting big and filling up and she’s built so much assurance in the past 6 months, wow! 👍 Loved Roni’s and Lena’s synchronized cruising! 💕😌 Agree: so interesting to watch horse socialization. 🔎 Thank you for sharing another interesting video!

We're glad you're back Graeme! The wound looks like it's healed amazingly. Hope it feels better too. Plus the fact that you can go back near horses after such physical trauma is a testament to how your knowledge and experience around these beasts gives ya confidence around 'em. I remember screwing up my knee after a skateboard incident and not touching the board for a good few years. Man, I've said it before, but Gracie is just the embodiment of an Arabian horse! At 3:26 she strolls up with the _expectation_ of getting a scratch. Like "yes, the face-scratcher has come to scritch my beautiful face. I will give you the honor of petting it". And at 14:04, you might have a pair of show-horses there. Itty bitty smol Annie and big ol' Luke, mastering the art of synchronizing.

[@StableHorseTraining]

Thank you! Yes, healing up quite nicely.

[@Ladymay58]

Good to see your healed up and looking back to normal Graeme.. Nice to see the horses are all doing well also.. Do you ever worry about branches coming down onto the horses ? That would worry me especially in bad weather.... You have a wonderful day , it's 1 in the morning here so I am off to bed .. Take care and give them all a scratch and a pat from me. Love watching them together , relaxes me before bed. Good night , xx☺🙋‍♀😴😴😴☺

[@StableHorseTraining]

Yes I do, very much. A couple of years ago a shelter was destroyed when a tree fell on it, the horse was fine. I did a video about it kzbin.info/www/bejne/oGLLh3mgrdmGpc0

[@Ladymay58]

OMG..!! What a mess Graeme, thank god peggy was fine. You make me smile , always the glass half full , great attitude .. Thanks for letting me see that video , with so many trees about I guess its bound to happen sometimes.? But , as you say , plenty of fire wood .. LOL and as long as everyone was ok..Lucky... that was too close for comfort.. .. You take care and have a great week .. See you in yet another video.. Don't forget to give them all a scratch and a pat for me.. THANKS. Graeme xxx Enjoy yout day... 😊🙋‍♀Bye...

Annie’s full of beans! Her paces are lovely, that seems to be common with wildies, Mr Wilde is the same, they have no exaggerations just smooth purposeful movements, she’s going to make someone a lovely ride when she’s all grown up.

[@patriciaboyd1199]

It seems like Annie has sort of bonded with you, even more than the others. Perhaps you got her at just the right age for her to feel a special closeness. It would be lovely to think that that is possible.

[@heidikortman2534]

One button could be for a rake scratching session, if you don't want to train for food treats.

I wished I lived closer I love to brush horses

[@mikehenry6284]

OH MY GOODNESS, WHAT A GORGEOUS MORNING 🌄. I LOVE IT!! Anyway, isn't it funny how some horses manes get way more tangled than others? I wonder 🤔 why If you have a REAL tangled mess....WD Forty works miracles, plus it gives it one heck of a shine.....until they roll. Okay, gotta run, have a very busy day as well, going to see Elton John concert tonight 😀. Enjoy your beautiful day and amazing 4 legged kids 😉 Blessings my friend 🙌 Jennifer

[@StableHorseTraining]

Thanks Jennifer. WD40 is pretty stinky stuff and highly flammable and poisonous so I'm going to stay away from that option I think. If you're looking for an oil that works well that is much safer though, I can recommend just basic mineral oil, which is also termed as baby oil. Same sheen and effectiveness without the flammability, poison and smell :)

[@mikehenry6284]

Ya know what Graeme, I don't know what I was thinking when I suggested WD-40 to you. I wasn't thinking clearly I guess 🥴. I think I texted you about really late. I am aware of those things.....we just used it in a pinch, and very seldom. My profound apologies friend, should have just kept my mouth shut 🤐. Please scratch that one up as a woopsie. Don't misunderstand me, we didn't drench the mane, we just put a little on our fingers to work out a tangle and it was usually at a horse show. Everyone had a can in their trailer. Again, so sorry my friend for some bad advice. Have a great day 😀 Blessings always 🙌 Jennifer

[@StableHorseTraining]

Don't worry about it at all. Obviously nobody uses it in quantities that can do harm, all good.

[@StableHorseTraining]

Actually, as an FYI, wd40 is made mostly from mineral oil! It's the rest of the items that turn it a bit off for me.

[@mikehenry6284]

@@StableHorseTraining Yes I totally understand what you're saying. We (I) used this for a "quick fix" over 20 years ago. I just wasn't thinking. I know you know in your heart of hearts, that I would never suggest you using something that could hurt one of your fur babies 🐎. Again, so sorry 😔 Hope your having a wonderful day. Blessings 🙌 Jennifer

[@amandamason6699]

Wonder if the visitor is Miaya,that would definitely make it interesting at playtime 😆

[@MaureenYost]

You must get up before the sun at this time of year. It was a gorgeous morning. Gracie needs an "ears" button. hehe It's interesting to see how the friendships change among the horses. Annie was in with Roni for a while but now she's by herself again and they don't hang out much in the arena. Luke and Meatball played as though they were going to be good friends when they first met but now they barely go near each other. Old Meatball sure looks good compared to when you first got him. He has a neck now. Annie's mane is amazingly long and thick. It's like a Friesian's which can get long enough to touch the ground when their head is up. It must be the carrots. 🥕😁

[@StableHorseTraining]

I do get up before the sun has come over the trees for sure. Beautiful mornings so often now. It's really nice.

[@leonafaryna7617]

This is still my happy place to come to! Annie is so sweet and I hope it’s Little Miss coming to visit!! 🤗

[@pennyhazen4763]

I am relieved that all horses are ok after the storm! When we get those storms, large limbs are a bit dangerous. Love Annie’s bed head but wouldn’t love having to straighten it up. I think she is a great horsie!

[@sandyhayden-bristow1382]

We've been getting a few high wind days too, it can sure toss stuff about no matter how much you batten down. No rest regardless of the season.

[@PirouettingFox]

Ok a few things, hopefully I can remember them all. So every time you mention that a friend is coming to visit I hope with all my heart that it will be Little Miss hehe Also, it's a bummer that Lena is not fond of Annie. I wonder if she feels threatened or if it is something as simple as just not like her or her personality. It's also interesting that Roni took charge & protected Annie even though Lena was there. I've noticed in videos, that once Lena is present & Roni is just all about Lena. Are Annie & Joka still good buddies?

[@StableHorseTraining]

I wouldn't hold your breath for Little Miss to come back here. Her owner does not have enough money for a full service facility and was only here for training. Annie and Joka are still very good friends.

[@PirouettingFox]

@@StableHorseTraining Thank you for letting me know, truly. Now I know what to expect & will no longer be disappointed when it isn't her.

[@paulasmith8324]

That is a lot of clean up to be done after the storm. Annie's personality is really starting to show. Gracie better watch out because she may lose her "'star of the show" status to Annie. 🤣🤣 I would love to see Little Miss come back for a visit.🤞🤞

[@marykinzler9774]

Do you ever give your buddies those big blue balls to play with? Just curious how they would react. Love watching them play.

[@MaureenYost]

I couldn't believe it the first time I saw a horse playing with one of those balls. I come from a time when we were terrified to put anything in with our horses for fear they would freak out. Now, I see horses playing with the big exercise balls and horsey kettle balls. One of the funniest videos I've seen was of two colts playing with a kettle ball. One was playing with it. When he put it down to look around for a moment, the other colt snuck up from behind and grabbed it. He then ran away with it in his mouth with the other colt in hot pursuit. Too funny.

[@StableHorseTraining]

I tried but they never cared. It rolled out of the arena and popped.. That was that.

[@kkdoc7864]

I have a question that probably everyone knows the answer to. I find it interesting that the boys are attracted to the girls even after being gelded. That means testosterone isn’t the only factor in attraction I would guess. Or maybe the levels don’t plummet significantly. I haven’t looked up the answer cause I feel lazy today lol. . Is the attraction of Roni toward Lena, for example, just the result of Lena’s temperament? I doubt it, cause he hangs around with other ladies when they come to visit but plays with the boys. So even the interaction of boys with boys and boys with girls are completely different.

[@MaureenYost]

I watch a Friesian breeding farm from the Netherlands. They separate the colts from the fillies when they're weaned because the colts play so much rougher than the fillies. They rear up and walk into each other wrapping their front legs around each others' shoulders, then play bite each other on the face and neck. They get down on their knees to bite each other's legs. The fillies don't play this way, at all, and don't like it. There's a video of Luke and Mr. Wilde meeting for the first time and they play similarly to the colts. It's so much fun to watch.

[@StableHorseTraining]

If anybody knows the answer to your questions Kathy, I'd want to hear them. I expect the testosterone is lower but definitely not gone. I think they are bonded well due to length of time together for the most part. I don't know if it's a female/male thing and I'm not sure how to determine that either.

[@kkdoc7864]

@@MaureenYost I follow the Friesian KZbin channel at Stal G which is also a breeding site in the Netherlands cause they are so beautiful. (Yvonne the owner recently suffered a severe head injury but is slowly recovering.). So, yes, I watch how intact males are kept from the ladies, but my question was about boys that have been gelded. Interactions are still the same. It seems the boys like to still hang with females and defend them from others’ intrusions, whereas their interactions with the other boys are so different. Ie what is driving that behavior, since testosterone levels are lowered.

[@MaureenYost]

@@kkdoc7864Oh, I thought you might not have watched any youngsters. (I was describing Rising Star and Rinse Janko playing. I watch Yvonne, too. 😁She made me love Friesians.) My gelding didn't appear to respond this way although he did like to escape to go visit his favourite friend who was a mare. He fought with another mare so we couldn't put them together. I never considered your question at the time but now it makes me wonder; "Is it residual hormones or a memory of how they played before they were gelded". I'll have to search out some research on the subject. Good question, kk doc.

Perhaps Annie could make a great barrel racer the way she spins on a dime. And might as well braid her mane for awhile :) with her colour combo might be nice :)

I would never sell any of my horses to a barrel racer and I truly hope she never ends up in that abusive "sport".
