Apollo is our 11-year-old, pure-bred Friesian he is a good horse for a beginner rider. He has a lovely collected canter and is a great farter. 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.

[@sarahcooper3378]

Every horse is different, both physically and mentally. I remember when you had to take Farouk home......he was just mind blown on that day. But, as you say, he was fine there after. Slow and steady, exposure to everything, patience and time, all perfect learning tools. Enjoying this ride, I think it will be a good one for Bella too.

[@jackiedejong5981]

Tara, I completely agree with you about Bella's training. They are all individuals and progress and learn at different rates. I've always trained my dogs this way. Thank you for a wonderfully muddy ride on the gorgeous Farouke ❤️🧡

[@annhall1448]

I don't understand why people try to tell you how to deal with your horses. You know them better than anyone who simply watches a few videos. You have done a brilliant job with all three.👍

[@desertflower89]

Well said!👏 I couldn't agree more.

[@jeanieesajian2325]

I agree also. And some of them have never even gotten on a horse to boot!

[@amandahawes8310]

I agree too

So appreciate your humane and practical training and treatment of your beautiful horses- and that you express yourself so clearly and kindly is a huge plus. Thanks for yet another lovely video!

[@pattijosloss6302]

Thank you so much Tara for the lovely Ride and the very interesting conversation. Always Lovely.

[@ren-uz2mz]

I'm liking watching Sinnington more and more, a lot of bridleway options. Look forward to seeing Bella there when she's ready!

[@ruthgoebel723]

I like your training methodology. Your Boyz are clearly level-headed and completely trusting in you. Bella will learn that as well as time moves on. Well done, Tara!!!!

[@ceciliavondehn4402]

Bella is in the best frame of mind out hacking and can learn some of the menage movements off and on during a ride. She already moves sideways to help gate opening.

[@jayneterry8701]

Good chat today. I remember when you turned Farouk around and went home. I also thought of that time crossing the railway track then you waited for that lady and her daughter to go over on theirs and Farouk walked over np 😅. Or the bridge with no sides. 🐎💞🥰

Pretty little village & lovely scenery. You have done a great job with all the horses so I don't doubt you have the best plan in mind.

You sure have three very different horses and know well what they will or won’t do, and how to manage issues that come up. As always, an interesting video!

[@sandysmythe3459]

Really interesting chat about Bella's training - I think you'll be very successful - your firm, but kind training suits her personality - she knows she will have to do as you ask😮 - so eventually she does it😍 ❤❤❤. ( but she can be a little monkey!!❤)

Hi Tara and Rens, Belated Happy New Year! Iagree with you about training. All my dogs have been labs a very willing and trainable breed. I just had to repeat and repeat a command etc and all at once they " get it" and then it is smooth sailing. My dogs have always wanted to please me- after all I am the source of food and walkies!!! My last dog was very intelligent and remembered things for ages even if she hadn't done it for awhile. I still miss her even tho the "new dog" is a sweetie. All the best in 2024.

[@Tara101]

Happy New Year to you😊

[@karenlugg1386]

Always interesting to hear how you train your horses, you teach by example, the time you spend with each horse and now Bella in particular will result in a happy trusting relationship that will hopefully stand you in good stead in almost any situation.

[@jeanetteblowen8315]

Found you a few weeks ago,Tara. Love your channel. You and Rens obviously adore your three big beauties (and little beauty, too 😂) They are breathtakingly beautiful. All so different and all so happy. Thank you for sharing. Best wishes. 😊

Love how Farouk just keeps walking and looking around. So cool, calm, collected. ❤️🐴 Happy to be out with mom and running some but happy to walk because of all the wetness. ❤️🐴 Agree about Bella. Better safe than sorry, with a young horse learning the right from wrong ways of trail riding. ❤️🐴👍 .

[@jackieellmers9711]

You know your horses best. I don’t ALWAYS want to go rambling every day, and I feel I’ve been lazy. The thought that someone would try to force me to walk would make me very grumbly and unhappy. BUT, when I DO walk, I give it my all. I am not a Robot. ❤❤

[@Tara101]

[@maggsm3392]

well said Tara - you can't desensitise to simply everything. A lot does depend on the horse's personality though. I had a young horse I could ride anywhere and he pretty much never shied. He was only 4 when I got him but he'd alrady been exposed to a lot of things. The previous owner was a teenage boy with no nerves and I seriously think that helped. If they have a confident rider on board it gives them confidence to tackle scary things. Previous to that I had another horse the same age and he spooked at anything and everything no matter how many times he'd gone past it which in turn made me nervous so I was contributing to the problem. I should have know he'd be like that though because the day I trialled him he was spooking at things. I sold him after 5 years because I wasn't enjoying going out on him so consequently bought the one that didn't shy and even though I was initially wary I ended up being relaxed with him because he actually gave me confidence as young as he was. They're all different.

[@kathleeneldridge3057]

I just watched most of the video you referenced in this one. That day when you turned Farouk around to go home was a great example of horsemanship. It takes so much experience and wisdom to know when to call it quits. So glad you mentioned it.

Iam sure you know best Tara, you only need to look at Apollo and Farouk.

[@sheilasmith6609]

I dontknowmuch about horses but i understand when i see good and bad results. All horses Are different. Each has their ovn personality. I would think the important thing is to know them how they tick and work with them accordingly. I think you know each horse quite well and the way they Are with you shows That. Your relationship with Your horses Are great. They respect you but care about you and obey. So i dont know how you could do any better tara.

[@Tara101]

[@NotFalling4it]

You have such beautiful places to ride and plenty of others to ride with. So lucky.

[@dtulip1]

I think the thing with Bella is she is still YOUNG, I think people forget that, but also she is very opinionated lol....and no you don't want to spend all your time fighting with her and then you are both miserable. Can't imagine Farouk being dangerous....flighty and panicked yes, dangerous no.....:D

[@betsysmall3576]

Farouk was amazingly good being by himself in all that thick folage!!

[@moyagreaves8092]

Your turn on the forehand l used to cheat by putting my toe on the shoulder and just give a little nudge,or tickle and it worked and got good marks in a dressage test ,,,my trainer asked how I'd managed it as we had been having trouble ,,,when l told her what l did l said l know its not correct but l tried and it worked so l carried on,,she was a typical TB mare ,,stubborn and sometimes un cooperative,,,eventually the mare got the movement correct with correct aids,,,she wasnt the easiest ride but we muddled along,,😂😂😂

[@claudiah5643]

❤️🐴❤️ Tara, maybe when you’re training Bella in the ménage about the shoulder in or out etc. will you tell us when and why she’ll need to use that movement. I see she moves sideways quite well. Since I don’t ride, it’s hard to understand the subtle stuff. Thanks!

[@Tara101]

I'll try and remember to do a short voice over when Bella's in the in door school 😊

[@arribaficationwineho32]

Would you consider hacking Bella before ménage work? It seems it would settle her? Not a long ride, just an outing for her.

[@p.mccarthy-sher2691]

I think trail riding with others is one of the most dangerous activities on horseback because you don’t know what others will do and how your horse will react.

I thought it'd be an interesting tale about a horse you realised was dangerous. Instead it was talking about a mare and using technical terms about how you are training her.

Yes, I've watched her twice and was not impressed to say the least. I'd much rather take advice from Tara with her many years experience and the motherly, nurturing care she gives her horses, and they love her back. It seems that certain person has resorted to bullying for click bait.
