[@infernafirestein]

What a good boy, Apollo! So good to see him out there again! 🇨🇦❤️

[@warrenbonnell]

that looks like so much fun. i've been enjoying your posts as always Tara. both horse and rider are doing so well. Bless you both.

I thought Apollo fit right in with this group of accomplished riders and horses! A tribute to your fine training and his exceptional qualities! Kudos to you both! 👏👏👏🌟🌟🌟💕💕💕🥰🥰🥰🥕🥕🥕🍷🍷🍷🏆🎉🎉🎉

[@scubamujer6069]

It’s a lovely ride and great to see Apollo out on a ride again! I have to be in the dentist’s chair in two hours so this is a nice distraction.

[@annbolynn7797]

Tara, I would come all the way to England just to ride where you and the others get to ride. We should be so lucky here. I watch your vids for all the good things you put into them but the riding areas are just fascinating!

[@Tara101]

😀👍🐴🐴🐴

[@christineroerty2534]

Oh I have missed Apollo, so this video was a real treat. He is a magnificent horse, a dream. And, he has such a close relationship with you. It is amazing. He is a big pet LOL

[@marygagliardi5315]

So many beautiful trails and green space where you are!

This guy amazes me more and more. What a wonderful ride on a horse that is so receptive to his rider. Tara, you have brought him along so beautifully. 👍.

[@Tara101]

[@Lougallops]

I think it’s as much a pleasure for him as it is for you. 🥰🥰

[@diannetwersky6218]

Tara, Apollo, Rock Star to the Cows, is my first horse love and I follow him every day. My confidence in his ability was confirmed today when he crossed the mud and the water with caution and determination. Please give him a carrot for me..thx for all your wonderful videos. dianne

[@leonslionessnz4867]

Apollo was announcing his arrival to the other horses Lol! He looked pleased to be out with the other horses and was enjoying himself. You have some wonderful rides in your country. I think horses enjoy hacking out and seeing the sights more than anything else.

[@Tara101]

👍😃

[@melware4166]

Sooo lovely to see Appollo out and about. Really missed him xxx

[@tramarherrera6685]

Apollo is doing so good at listening to you. Such a good and beautiful horse 😍

[@pennytriggs29]

What a wonderful team you two make. He is such an honest horse. Loved that video. Thank you.

[@melbowell5601]

Lovely ride and you’re right Tara, always good to go somewhere new and even get the chance to explore areas you can’t normally go. Apollo is such a good boy, nothing worse than having a horse that pulls your arms out on those sort or rides, so tiring. Galloping across stubble fields is always a joy 😊

[@Tara101]

👍❤️💜💙💚

[@msu.p.2872]

Lovely to see Apollo and you on such a beautiful ride! So well behaved with all the other horses and cantering through puddles and mud!

[@connienowak298]

Apollo you're the best! So smooth, even on the evil trot. I hate trotting. Trotting should be outlawed. Ok. Had my rant for the hour. Love you, Apollo.💜💜💜💜

[@Tara101]

You would definitely no like Appolo's trot then

[@shelleyandcritters841]

If you don't like trotting, try a horse that paces....much smoother!!!!

[@yvonnerahmes9618]

Oh what a joy! This is amazingly happy to be a part of. I find I am so proud of you Tara and the relationship you have with Apollo. His behavior and responsiveness to your voice which is always "quiet" and calm is amazing. I am enjoying these "rides" so much, truly delightful! What a wonderful group of horses and riders. It does me a lot of good, better than any meditation... Thanks so much!

[@SteppingStonevlogs]

Yes this was my calming meditation this morning :)

[@pj8143]

Love hearing Apollo’s neighing at the beginning so very cute.🥰 Love hearing the sound of the horses hooves on the ground it so calming. Great ride Tara, Apollo seems be really enjoying being with other horses & the ride as well. 🏇🏇🏇🏇🏇🏇🏇🏇🏇🏇🏇🥕🥕🥕🥕🥕 Thank you 😊 for sharing looking forward to the next video.🙆🏼‍♀️😊💖

[@Robin-sb7vu]

I loved hearing his neigh too! It was a higher pitch then I had imagined. :)

[@ksanurse]

I wished I was riding him he was THAT good. What a wonderful animal.💖

[@bobbieseelhoff1131]

Thank you Tara for another great video! Can't wait to see how the hunt turns out. Apollo is such a gentle giant.🐴🤗 Bobbie USA

[@peopleddiagram2920]

Not been on such a ride for many weeks and he is a total delight to ride. That's a star.

[@Tara101]

🥰

[@sarahcooper3378]

Could hear the pride and joy in your voice.

[@shelleyyates6855]

Hi Tara, oh my I would've been beside my self with all that mud and puddles, yak, Apollo's really good for you and listens, that mud just wasn't a problem for him was it, Farouk wouldn't have gone through them that easy, lol he's like me, hates them, I don't blame him though, all that squelching, at least it wasn't raining and making more, you've done so well with your boys and I think it's great that you explain everything, thank you so much for sharing, big hugs to you all xxxxx

[@Tara101]

🥰❤️💜💙💚🧡

[@Lovehors4s]

Thank you Tara and Apollo for a lovely ride like you say he seems to be an absolute pleasure to ride, those little tips when you are riding are very helpful keep them coming.

[@Tara101]

🥰

[@muckingfentalkaren5592]

I love ur boys they r both so great and true gentlemen xx

[@lisamcneill8545]

Wow look at all the mud...just as well twinkle toes sits this one out. Apollo is so cool, he appears to be having the time of his life. Good thing he got a nice trim up...working the mud out of the formerly long feathers would take forever. Good call, Tara.

[@Tara101]

🥰

[@kim14lbs40]

oh Apollo, you are so wonderful, such a gentleman, so polite and well mannered

[@autumnisnothere]

I was thinking the same thing when you said "Good job that wasn't Farouk. He might have stopped there." LOL! Nice ride with the group; several different surfaces and the large puddles didn't phase Apollo at all. Good boy! You've done so well with him Tara.

[@shelleyandcritters841]

I thought the same thing too 😂

[@debbiegoodyear5963]

It's been soooooo lovely to see you and Apollo enjoying an event ride... he is such a good boy listening to your voice even though he hasn't done any event rides for a couple of months... x

[@helencollins4462]

Apollo is such a gentleman! Love seeing him with all the other horses. And he seems fine with not being in front! Can't wait for Part 4! Xoxoxo PS Farouk might have overcome his distaste for puddles in that stretch! Lol one can always hope! Xoxo

[@Tara101]

👍😂

[@maurachambers3797]

That was a lovely ride Tara and Apollo was such a good boy. He seems to really enjoy being with the other horses😃👍🏼💕

Yea APOLLO, YOU ARE LOOKING SO GOOD❤️ thanks for the video Tara, I really have missed apollo❣️

[@Tara101]

👍😃💜

[@peterandmacintyre9037]

Its a pleasure to ride him isnt it! Much more relaxing for you♡

[@Tara101]

I don't have to be as careful of spooky things on Apollo but they are both great to ride in their own way

[@raraavis7782]

Nice run over the open field at the end! I bet, Apollo enjoyed that. And a nice group of horses and riders, where you fit right in.

[@juliehock6059]

A great ride, thank you Tara. Must.be so exhilarating with all the horses going hell for leather.....

[@katienelson8015]

Apollo's such a good boy. He listens to everything you say even when you're talking so soft. Awesome ride Tara 💖💖💖

[@brendawhite6540]

Such a smooth canter Apollo😁a beautiful ride Tara👍I think he's enjoying running with the other horses.He is really doing very well listening to you. He must be enjoying the ride too😁👍

[@Tara101]

yes he does

[@elaineh7811]

We have lovely country side in North Yorkshire the best .xx

[@yvonnerahmes9618]

I am in awe of the countryside in England. We have been able to watch "Escape to the Country" show on YT, and we LOVE the many beautiful places we see! So lovely to see Tara and Apollo (and Farouk) in her videos, sigh... :)

[@susanbrown2909]

Elaine H You do indeed.

[@ShogunHull]

IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL AND PERFECT TO *RIDE LIKE TH' WIND* THROUGH!! I'M GOING TO GET THOSE SPECIAL STIRRUPS TOO! TERRIFIC IDEA FOR THE DESIGN.

[@Robin-sb7vu]

I love to watch all the horses go.. they are so nicely groomed and everyone looks like they are having a great time. Tara, is a Hunt ride a faster moving ride? I just noticed that when you go on Hunt rides there is generally more cantering, trotting and less walking. I am amazed at Apollo's canter seeing that Friesians have a hard time with that gate. It must be so wonderful to reap the benefits of all the hard work you've done with him!

[@Tara101]

I am very pleased with his canter it has taken two years to develop but well worth the effort.

[@stephm281]

Another great ride with the magnificent Apollo. As always Thankyou. 👍🏻😊

[@juliederry3719]

What an enjoyable video Tara, though it's overcast it looks like fun and not too hot for horse and rider, and as always Apollo is so well behaved, when l saw those huge puddles l thought of Farouk and what would he do, there must have been a good downpour, look forward to watching p4, tfs x Julie

[@Tara101]

👍🥰

[@ShogunHull]

Now THIS is What I Call~ Th' High Life!! haha... GREAT!

[@catieb7415]

Apollo is a legend so well behaved. He’s really in his element when other horses are around. I think he’s love to let them all know he’s the Alpha 😄 the countryside is gorgeous. I loved that laneway especially. So picturesque. Looking forward to the next one. 👍😁 oh and what is ‘over bending’? If you get a chance to explain. Thanks Tara 🙋

[@Tara101]

it's when they get behind the bit, their head is not perpendicular..their nose is too near their chest.

[@catieb7415]

Tara - ahhh thanks for explaining Tara 👍

[@LILM79847]

🤔🤔humm from the sound of video description it almost sounds like you need a new cambox there almost I was wondering about the I monitor was going out on me there for a moment there 🎥🎥 say there tara wow apollo there is nice, and smooth on the running, and also with the countering to there aswell say tara hopefully you can get your cambox working again say tara if I may ask ya'll what kind of cambox do you have there for recording your videos there 🎥🤔wow apollo does a really nice job there he hasn't missed a lick has he wow apollo is a really good horse there, and along with you there tara to handle the reins there 🐴🐴😀😃👍👍

he is just good all the time always has been even as a three year old stallion

@@Tara101 I didn't mean anything by it more of a joke really. Both your boys are so well behaved and you are both amazing with them.

[@geminidream4347]

I could be wrong but I don't think the Friesian breed is as skittish as the Arabians. You were smart to take Apollo since you had never been there to know what terrain it was. Farouk would of freaked out several times. Also after hearing the wind being so strong on the camera, maybe the ear caps are not only good for flies but for keeping their ears from the wind as well.

[@aniaaniuszowska9431]

[@Mrsstick07]

Just wonderful. 😍😁 x

[@maryadelman7084]

Apollo to mom: I've got this!

[@Tara101]

lol🤣😂

[@FrancescaRasini]

Wish my Ice will be like that some time in the future! Now, if he sees an open field.. well, surely he does NOT canter :D

[@lyncheeseman]

Apollo isn’t a twinkle toes walking through mud. He is so gorgeous, I expect he thoroughly enjoyed that. He listens to you all the time and very responsive to your voice. Seems an easier ride than Farouk. I bet they were all jealous of his beautiful slow canter. Do you have to have permission from land owners to do this ride. Could you revisit and do same route on Farouk or again with Apollo.

[@Tara101]

no the hunt has permission so you can only go with them

[@lyncheeseman]

Tara that’s a shame..

[@susanbrown2909]

I think Apollo is a calmer ride then Farouk..cos as u said Farouk probably would stopped dead at the mud ...lol. Don’t blame u for not jumping.its not worth the risk of us ladies of certain age lol. Apollo was enjoying his outing . Well done

[@peterandmacintyre9037]

Susan, you're 87 also?

[@malabar900]

Did I miss something? What happened to Pt 1 and 2?

[@Tara101]

they are out there. If you have a look at my home page and click on videos you will find them

[@bernadettehooper4318]

Love to see Apollo canter. One happy horse. One happy Tara. Variety of scenery for you and for him. Lots of puddles, too. Am I mistaken or are the horses on this ride (including Apollo, of course) exceptional? Normal for hunt horses? They seem very fine.

[@Tara101]

yes normal horses for the hunt

[@AnimaltestedLoveapproved]

Every place you ride is so beautiful;this is one of them.! Apollo is so sweet laid back natured.did so good today ;mud and all. I do feel personally Farouk has come along,things he's doing now he would never dream of. ( thinking of ride with other horse reused to go thru water buuut our Farouk did 😃 great ride today . onward...
