What's The Plan?

[@ellenk560]

I had to switch jobs late last year, partly due to the economy, and partly due to burnout... What I ended up doing is far less glamorous than most people would be willing to do, but overall I'm happier due to more financial stability. Long story short, I'm just trying to say I totally understand having to do what you have to in order to support your family (and horses). I'm grateful that you're the type to conclude "nope, we're full up" and not getting horses you don't have the room for in order to get views. Your family and current horses are your priority, that really shows and is appreciated. Keep up the good work, sir!

[@StableHorseTraining]

Burnout is a big deal, I felt that with trimming and training other people's horses. It's not the horses that burn me out though... Happiness is everything, it leads to so much of a better life and lifestyle. Yes, I think that if more horses = more views, then that's just a bad business plan as you're never going to placate the insatiable appetite of the internet, or at least the perceived appetite. There's lots to watch and learn from the horses here I think, I learn something pretty much everyday still. Thank you for your kind words and positivity! It means a lot!

[@RKX_Errant]

Mr. Wilde is so funny with his scratches. If he could speak, I imagine him saying, "Ooo, right there, you got it! Nooo, don't stop!!" I love the head action. I noticed with Lena and the carrots that when she pushed you a little hard and knocked you off balance, she took a half step backwards like she was apologizing. Forgot the hooman is not as sturdy on just 2 legs. As far as acquiring horses and not having the space, I wished I could afford to provide that, but then realized that really wouldn't solve the problem. The real problem is there isn't enough Graeme to accomplish the task, even with help. ❤❤❤ The horses you have adore and respect you. I, for one of many, appreciate that you do share the horses with us along with your knowledge. Thank you, profusely.

[@StableHorseTraining]

Thank you very much! Yes, Mr. Wilde is the best there, he just loves is scratches. As for Lena, she talks A LOT! Not sure if she took a step back for anything other than to be prepared to block me if I moved! hahaha... Yes, I do need more time. I'm working on it!

[@cattymajiv]

NEVER apologize for lack of videos! You should only post when you want to and have time. Maybe your channel will grow more slowly that way, but a person's channel should not be their life. Your fans won't leave you over your posting frequency (or lack of). All the best to you all! ❤❤❤

Thank you very much Sue!

[@SunnySunshineField]

Thanks for the update! Glad things are going well. Excited to see more videos. That’s great that you are thinking of ways to continue sharing here. You asked for thoughts- I’ve learned so much from your horsey playtime videos. The straightforward format really helps to see everything that is happening. You, the horses, the unedited and complete playtime footage and your thoughts in the moment. This is what is helping me learn. No one else really does this. You are unique! 😊 Change is inevitable but I hope you’ll keep these super helpful type videos in your repertoire. All the best. And thanks for everything you do here on the channel!

[@StableHorseTraining]

Thank you for your thoughts! I never watch other channels so I have no idea what others are doing so I appreciate the insight. I think that understanding horse behaviors is utterly vital to being as safe as possible around them and in turn we always go home from the barn in the same vehicle we came in kind of thing. I'm really glad you're enjoying your time here, thanks for letting me know!

Got to love winter undercoats, basically got a whole other horse under there.

[@kelseylogas1580]

Thank you so much for the update, everyone looks so happy and healthy. It's so great to see you having fun with your herd! I do hope this isn't a difficult question but there was some talk of selling Annie and probably Mocha when the time came. Is that still in the works or no? Game development work? That amazing! Are you able to talk about that at all? My sister is a game designer! And I'm so happy that things are better for you financially and things are less stressfull. With the cost of feed I can only imagine how difficult that must feel from day to day. Take care of yourself, your family and your herd. I'm so happy things are going so well for you. Have a gorgeous day.

[@StableHorseTraining]

I have no idea how to sell any of them.. so I'm a horse hoarder now. Oh well. I have a whole channel dedicated to the game dev actually: www.youtube.com/@GraemeBull/ Thank you very much for the kind and positive words! I hope you have great day too!

[@kelseylogas1580]

@@StableHorseTraining Oh thanks for the reply!! Yeah I was wondering how it was going to work selling these guys, they are just wonderful. You and Mr. Wilde have bonded like crazy, and I couldn't imagine a herd without the two little girls either. I totally get it. I'm going to check out the other channel. And thanks!!

I'm looking forward to seeing more of the horses but only when you have the time, burn-out is awful, I've been there. It was lovely to see you having a laugh with the horses especially Lena.

Yup. I went from being home with my kids to 3 part time jobs. One if those jobs helps find horsey time 💕

[@Mahmah476]

There's a new KZbinr who recently acquired a wonderful, mid-aged Freisian. He was told not to pet the horse's face. Don't know if there's a truly legitimate reason or not. He also stated he didn't know too much about horses ( as opposed to his daughter). I recommended he check out your channel. Hope he does so he can learn from you. Very glad things are working out. You do so much, Graeme. Anyway, thank you for checking in for us.

[@StableHorseTraining]

People who recommend to not pet a horse's face have never had a horse that really likes and trusts them. My horses LOVE it and have complete trust that my hands are kind and helpful. If anybody comes across a horse that doesn't like it, it's because they have been hit, or are being hit regularly still, and in turn don't trust. All of my wildies have ZERO issues with it, which tells me that horses really appreciate it and look forward to it. So, the reason is simple :) There are a ton of super poor practices being carried down the generations in the horse world, this is one of them. Anyways, thank for the positive thoughts, I'm glad you're enjoying your time here :)

[@algypsy17]

@@StableHorseTraining Indeed ... I have noticed that my mare even calm down when I gently touch her eyes ...

[@pennywebb867]

Hey Graeme. Working on getting help? Who?How? Great idea. A very gentle comment made with love. Before you get more wildies perhaps you could work on establishing a pipeline for moving them on. Or be the go-to place for owners who want help bringing their wildie along, like you did for Little Miss. I do love the shorts you've put out. Really. So if that's all you're able to do right now, that's great. Glad the gaming is proving fruitful! ❤❤❤❤

[@StableHorseTraining]

Hi Penny! Well, let's just say the help is within my very small circle of amazing people. Maybe one day she'll make an intro, but I doubt it :) We'll see. I don't know how to let go of any of them Penny. Got any tips? I'm just sort of resigned to the fact that I'm a horse hoarder now.. like my friend who also collected horse after horse and just made it work. That's the goal. I'm glad you're enjoying the shorts! That's wonderful, thanks for letting me know and I'll pass on the compliments :)

I was not aware that you had another job but am happy that you like it and it is allowing you to take care of all the horsey needs. I have gotten my horsey fix from all of your very creative shorts which I have loved - thanks! Just one question….was wondering if Yoka is „now“ your horse or does she still belong to David(just never see or hear of him). Yoka was looking especiallly fluffy today - soooo cute and Lena and her lip! It was a great video!

[@StableHorseTraining]

Hi! Yes, the job of training/trimming horses is not a lucrative one and most certainly can't pay for 7 horses unfortunately. Had to stretch myself out again. All good. Joka is not mine, she is David's :) I have no plans at all of owning her and he has no plans of letting her go. I'm really glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for letting me know!

It's great to see someone who gets the priorities right. You've obviously had to make some very difficult decisions over the last few months. Your family's financial security has always got to come first and you should never have to apologise to us for doing that. I'm sure a lot of us on this channel have had to make difficult decisions and fully understand how hard life can be sometimes.

If they are craving salt, maybe look into making your own smaller salt block holders to be hung up in the shelters and then place the smaller salt blocks in those. But there are also blocks of salt with a hole down the middle that a rope of some kind could be strung through and hung on a fence?

[@StableHorseTraining]

I'm good, I have a method that works really well and allows more interaction with them. I mentioned in the short why I think salt blocks aren't as good if you're interested in that :) Thanks!

Hey Graeme, glad you’re doing well! I can’t imagine how busy your are with the up keep of your place, and with all the horses. I know you weren’t continuing with boarding. As you had mentioned prior, about possibly selling Annie. I know you have your keepers, it’s hard but maybe you can downsize a bit, which would open up more room, possibly open a couple of self board spots only to people you completely trust. They provide all their own feeds, do their cleaning etc. less work on you which could help with hay costs etc. Just thoughts running around in my head 😊 Have a great evening!

[@StableHorseTraining]

To downsize I'd have to let go of one or more of my horses, I don't really know how to do that... I have never allowed self boarders, they are the worst as they will never care for a place as much as a person does of their own space. Sooner or later they stop caring completely and it just doesn't work unfortunately. I'm just going to keep working on doing what I can under my own power and knowledge attained. So far so good :) Thank you for your thoughts though!

[@rockysmumakagma]

@@StableHorseTrainingI totally get it! I was always a self boarder, as I was very picky with my horses and I needed to see him everyday for a my piece of mind. Unfortunately the horse world has those people that have ruined it for others. Not to toot my own horn 🎉haha, but I always treated the properties like it was my own and I always had great references. I wished I lived your side of the Fraser cause I would have loved to help out with the chores or whatever 😊

[@StableHorseTraining]

@@rockysmumakagma I'm cynical maybe as I know there are many great self boarders, but it's just not worth it to me for such little money in the end. It's also unusual to come across people that want to see their horse all the time, many just pop out a few times a month kind of thing...

Why don’t you become an affiliate with the product you’re promoting for the horses? Brings in money with less work. Just an idea. 😊

[@StableHorseTraining]

No it doesn't unfortunately. There's no money in selling to a tiny audience of people from a tiny market. I would say maybe .01 percent of people in the market would watch this page and the market to sell to is very very small. Then I'd have to make an ad, sell out on my own channel for a product I don't own, don't provide support for nor can guarantee the quality in the long run. The video stays up forever as it's embedded in my content and I'd have to delete the video if I stop becoming an affiliate... Anyways, I don't have a single product I would promote anyways other than my own stuff. Thanks for the idea, but those are the problems with that option.
