He is herd leader over Farouk who is a pure-bred Arabian horse, Farouk is 9 years old and loves galloping and is a good endurance horse. He is the Grandson of the famous Marwan Al Shaqab and then there is Princess Bella a Four-Year Old pure-bred Andalusian filly her speciality is bucking and jumping for joy.

Wales is stunningly beautiful. How lucky to be an equestrian in the UK, one of the most beautiful places on earth with your partner, one of the most beautiful animals on earth. Dream❣

Every time I am amazed how magnificent Farouk is. I wish he could know that about himself.

Farouk is his usual beautiful fit self. I have to say that the scenery is very pretty and what a treat for you to have a nice day for an endurance event. It seems there was often dull if not rainy weather on so many. Looking forward to the next installment.

[@sarahcooper3378]

Great start. Beautiful area. Farouk did well at the vetting as it was very noisy. I think he is feeling the general tension/excitement of the event, but nicely settled once on the road.

[@christinemartindale8715]

That’s a nice part of the world Tara, beautiful scenery beautiful Farouk as always he looks amazing.tfs😎🏇😎

[@Tara101]

Thanks for visiting

[@bcgrote]

He is so narrow compared to Bella! Such a fit boi ❤

[@lynngray9750]

❣What a pleasant countryside, with a very fit horse and rider❣

[@ruthgoebel723]

Lovely weather for this event; let's hope the signage is good! ❤️❤️🏇🏇🥰🥰🌄🌄

[@karenbellini2240]

Looks like a beautiful day for a ride. Enjoy! 🐴🥕🥕🥕❤️

[@donnagoring250]

All is good. You caught the direction right off, and are well started. Enjoy the beautiful ride, you and Farouk are well prepared. You'll do great!!

[@jeanieesajian2325]

I’m really impressed that all that fluttering bunting in the parking lot doesn’t bother him! And the Welsh have done a superb job in providing proper security and way finding. No guessing where to go!

[@sandysmythe3459]

Beautiful Farouk. " Concentrate, Mum. We've got a long way to go" Lovely scenery. Have a great ride.❤❤

[@Tara101]

Thank you! 😃

[@lindaallen78]

Farouk was not too spooked but my anxiety levels rose a bit on the roads. Not too much slowing down going on! 🥴 Glad to see that the event is well marshalled though.🙂

[@viewling]

I' m amazed at how brave you two are. The landscape is different from what could be seen with videos of Farook so far, and to me (as an owner of a spooky Arab too) it appears dangerous with the dark passages where you cannot see the horizon and all the roads and traffic. Speaking to the persons on the way as you do also helps me with my spooky one, and being in motion forward forward helps too. You are doing an absolutely great job, Tara.

[@Tara101]

❤️❤️❤️

[@alisontabernor6332]

Looking forward to seeing Farouk cantering out in the beautiful Welsh countryside 😊

[@Tara101]

👍😁

[@jansmall72]

Looks like a beautiful day for the ride Farouk is riding so nicely good boy Farouk

[@aisha2370]

That highway is scary but Farouk was being so brave. I'm glad to see the crossing guards. That totem pole (?) at the trail start was interesting. 4:40

[@Tara101]

👍

[@miarobv]

I found myself holding my breath at the beginning. I thought those little fluttering white flags were going to be a problem but Farouk walked right on. So many cars so far. I hope that part is finished.

[@erynd2524]

Beautiful country! Well done you two!

[@bcgrote]

A nice course, big orange flags and plenty of road crew! What a lovely day for it! ❤

[@Tara101]

Yes it was!

[@lorrainebyrne2536]

farouk enjoying time in Wales

[@juttafitzmaurice5998]

Just remember how Farouk would have spooked at those fluttery little flags when you first got him! 👏👏

[@Tara101]

👍

[@user-cz6yl4zy7q]

Farouk is not afraid of cars and minibuses, but these are my observations, but Bella, yes, does not like cars. Well done Farouk. 💗💗💗🌼🥕🥕🥕🥕🥕🥕🥕

[@judithfryer7024]

Have a great ride. X

[@Tara101]

We will!

[@Witchy_Woman]

Love the scenery and so glad the weather was good for the event!

[@Tara101]

Us too!

[@sarahmarks7082]

Farouk 🐴 looks like an Olympic level competitor 🏆 I thought I saw a grey Arabian horse in your first video- hopefully 🙏 Tara and Farouk can meeet them 🥰

[@juliescott9485]

Very pretty scenery and it seems very well organised. Faroukl with his lovely single "professional" plait today, as opposed to his little flying ones! You're both looking great ❤❤❤

[@yumikodebold6197]

Looks like a beautiful day to go for a nice ride.❤

[@Tara101]

It was!

[@bevbremer2680]

You two are off at a good start!! Farouk seems ready to go and looking forward!❤🐴 I can just imagine when Farouk hears canter or ( and) . He knows that word so well he automatically starts to run!! Love it. You both are on the same page. Time to skip trot and run. ❤️🐴❤️🐎👍👏🧑‍🦳

[@Tara101]

🏇🏼

[@brendabarker524]

Rather a lot of road at the start but Farouk handled it well with all the traffic. Good signs with the red flags and the Marshalls. Right you are off the road ready to get going have fun 🐎🐎🐎

[@Tara101]

Totally agree

[@judyg9096]

This event looks well organized with plenty of red flags and lot’s of people along the way.. However, riding along the busy roads makes me nervous! You and Farouk handled it well! I hope the course brings you into some farmlands where it is less dangerous and you can let Farouk have some nice long canters! Beautiful day and scenery, hope you enjoyed it! Thanks for bringing us along! Looking forward to the next installment!🏇🚀⭐️⭐️❤️❤️❤️

[@jaygirlization]

Farouk has ground-covering movement. Such a wonderful boy. Great riding Tara. What a dangerous beginning to have the marked trail beside such a busy highway. Cars and. trucks will cause accidents with horses. Did you know this was the case when you started the ride?

[@Tara101]

No I don't know Wales at all it was an 8 hour journey for us

[@claudiah5643]

❤️🐴❤️

[@debbieadkins2803]

👍👍🌻🌼🌺🌸🍀❤️🥕🥕🥕

[@karenlugg1386]

Farouk said I have a better idea, you look for sign posts so we don’t go wrong and I’ll worry about monsters as I am highly trained at spotting them, monsters are very clever and disguise themselves as everyday objects like a large stone, bin, and white objects of every size and shape.

[@melindaharrington7588]

Hey Karen ☺ 👋 And don't forget, that Faroukie also has, his very own fairy friends to keep him safe, and to talk encouraging words into his ears 👼 😆 !!!!!!

[@Tara101]

🤣🤣🤣👍

[@user-hp4jm3xj1w]

Hope you don't mind me the question. Does Farouk have a problem with his back or the saddle?? He walked in the very beginning right after you mounted very funny with his back legs!😮

[@Tara101]

do you mean when he drop his leg in the whole in the grass

[@user-hp4jm3xj1w]

​@@Tara101If there was a hole he stepped in, I couldn't see that, but anyway. I know you are taking very good care of your horses.
