BRINGING STORM HOME! Day 120 (04/30/19) 

Now that storms home 🏠 that means a new intro with the new horses ♥️♥️🐎🐎🐎

Go with your gut Laura, it seems to work for you. I've noticed when willow rolls she favours one side. It's very important that she does a full roll. The half roll maybe telling you somethings up. I may be wrong but it's worth mentioning it to your vet or trainers. Hope this is helpful.❤🐴❤

Great Vlog! Poor Willow, it’s great your how quickly your learning to pick up signs and it shows how well you know her. Hope everything goes well with Storm.

I’m excited for you guys I can’t believe storm is coming home! ❤️🐴

Yea, Storm is home ! I hope Willow and Finn like and get along with Storm because Stella already knows him. Laura, you are a beautiful person inside and out. Everyone can attest to that. I'm so excited to see the journey that lies ahead with your family and animals. Storm coming home was the final piece of the puzzle and now that's complete. Thank you for sharing your life with us 365 days of the year and for the positivity and hard work you put into making that possible. ☺️

Sam worked hard to clear the paddock 👍 That’s the great thing about having your horses at home Laura, you can notice subtle changes and often your gut feel is right. If you are really worried about ulcers with Willow, the only way to properly tell is for the vet to do a gastric endoscopy, so they can actually see if there are ulcers, or to come and have the vet give her a good general check over, which might be a good thing if she wasn’t vet checked on purchase; I’m sure the vet will advise you though 😊 Storm is home, how exciting, now you have a barn full and Gabby must be delighted and itching for his shoe to be put back on 😊ps bale twine, the farmers friend lol, so many uses from repairing fences, holding broken rugs together temporarily, tying horses too ( as long as it’s thin and will break if they pull away), making handles for buckets if the handles break, repairing broken tack temporarily, temporarily halters and can be weaved/plaited together to make a temporary lead rope.....the list is endless. If you go to a show, always take some, you just never know when it might come in handy, even as a makeshift belt if you forget yours and your breeches are falling down lol

I'm so happy for you guys, I can't wait to see how Gabby and Storm's progress goes now that he is living with his family. Love you guys, but remember God loves you the most ♥️

welcome home storm!. I bet it feels so good to finally have all your horses home. im excited to see how well introductions went.

Yay!!, I’m so happy for you guys!!!! Now you have all your family at your farm (horses), can’t wait to see all the amazing adventures with all your horses!! Love your video!!❤️❤️

YAY!!! Stormy Boy is finally home! He looked so derpy when he had the tendon boots on! He sort of looked like a Frisian too from a distance! I’ve been wait so long for this video and now he’s finally home!!! Love you guys and I hope that you have a smooth journey with Storm and all you4 other horses and minis and ponies! 🐴💓💕

We use our twine for temporarily fixing a broken top rail , use it to temporarily replace the rope on hay nets or tie the electric fence to the wooden fence so the horses can’t push through x love you vids xx

Ahhhh! What an exciting day! All sorts of happy stuff! Look how well Finn walked passed Willow on his way into the arena this morning. He's not so TERRIFIED of her anymore. Practice makes progress 😄 Everytime I see little Willow's fluff-mane blowing in the breeze it makes me smile 😃 Welcome home Storm. Let the fun begin!

Finn looks so tiny compared to storm! Can’t wait to see what new adventures you have at home

It's been a long time coming but Storm is finally home. I know all of you are happy.

Yay!!! Hopefully storm and all the other horses will adjust to how things are now! Storm is such a calm horse when it comes to new places!!!!! I’m sure he will be fine though!! Storm and Gabby got together like a puzzle 🧩. They truly are meant for each other!! You guys have truly inspired me and many other people! I know for a fact I would have been somewhere els with my horse but you guys have helped me to understand what I was doing wrong and now we are doing a lot better! Thanks to you guys!! I will definitely pray that everything goes well for you guys!! Lobe your videos!!❤️❤️❤️❤️

I am so happy for you all that Storm is coming home. You guys are amazing and super hero’s to horses

Storm has build a very nice ammount of muscles recently. That butt is starting to look like a real quarter horse butt 🤩Keep up the good work! gabby and storm getting stronger together will improve their work so much in the future, although they have come far already when compared to when you got him.

storm has gotten so much better at jumping and so has gabby from the start. Storm is so handsome and I cant believe you brange him home! Love you!

Congrats gabby I’m soo glad that you have your horse I know could not have handled having my horse so far away for so long❤️❤️❤️❤️🐎🐎🐎🐎🐴🐴🐴🐴

Yaaaay! Storm is home! Hopefully he will fit in with no dramas :) you have the bonus that he knows Stella and has seen/just travelled with Finn so fingers crossed. How wonderful to have them all in one place :) I think you are super connected to the horses, and it’s fab you are getting a gut feeling (literally at the moment!) about how they are feeling. No one knows your horses better than you. If you feel something is not right, trust that. Ulcers I think are more prevalent in the horse world than we know. 10 years or so ago they were only something racehorses got, because that’s all we knew and the technology/research wasn’t as good. Now more and more horses are diagnosed with them. I know you have been doing your research so you are probably clued up, but I thought I’d share my experience. I’ve been having issues with one of my mares. She has reoccurant colics a couple of times a year, is prone to sloppy/wet poo, is just generally very sensitive. I’ve suspected ulcers for a while, her last colic was January and my vet did a ‘Succeed’ test on her poo. This tests for blood, and if positive suggests hind gut ulcers. Hers was positive. I believe in the USA, Succeed do a 30 day money back trial on their supplement which is meant to be the bees knees for treating hind gut. Unfortunately they do not do this in the U.K. I looked into stuff and decided to treat her for stomach and hind gut (stomach ulcers you can only diagnose with a stomach scope) and so we used Abler products. It was not cheap (nearly £700 for a 2 month course) and the routine is quite heavy going due to the timings between doses and feeds (but as you are at home this would be easier) but it seems to have done the trick and she is doing much more solid poo and is much happier. Also, no further colics yet (touches all wood!). I am now giving her a supplement called Ron Fields Ulc30x Plus to keep her gut healthy. I’ve also put another pony on this and she has shown an improvement in her behaviour and happiness :) Other things to consider are alfalfa - some horses can be sensitive to this and it can cause ulcers. In her last home did she live in a stable at night? (I’m guessing in Canada this is pretty normal due to your winters, but over here stabling is sometimes cited as a cause). If she is ingesting any sand with her hay it could be irritating her gut, psyllium husk (you can buy from health food shop it’s cheaper than the horse stuff!) is great for clearing the gut out of any sand/debris - it turns to a gel and carries it out. You give a weeks worth each month just to keep on top of things. I guess as Willow is so small her digestive system is that bit more sensitive that the others Sorry I’ve rambled on!

I’m so excited for you guys!! I have a horse and I’m currently boarding her down the road. Our plan was to get everything we need for her and build a paddock and a stall for her then bring her home. Boarding was only supposed to be temporary. We live on the same property as my grandpa and he told my mom we should keep the horse down the road because he doesn’t want all the grass to get eaten. But.. before we got the horse, he said we could have a horse on the property. We haven’t built anything yet but we were about to then my grandpa said she should stay at the other farm. My mom then told me he was in a bad mood, and she said we will tell him where we would put her and it wouldn’t be on the green grass. I really hope she can come home soon😢

Omg Laura I go through the exact same experiences whenever any of my animals or even my close family members are going through pain somewhere in their body I go through it too I genuinely feel their pain ! I'm definitely a big believer in God I have had too many experiences not to be, God really does have a plan all we need to do is trust him, aww so happy Storm is home bless him I always feel sorry for horses when they first arrive in a new place as they have no idea where they are lol but it doesn't take them long to settle 😊 nothing is ever straight forward with horses so you may have a few hiccups but all will settle down quickly x

WELCOME HOME STORMY! Love you guys you always reply and your amazing xxx keep up the good work!

What a BEAUTIFUL BLESSING! Please know that I’m praying for Peace - Peace that can only come from our God in Heaven. I’m so excited I just can imagine how excited you guys are. GGG! Amen! ✌🏻And❤️ Lori

Couldn’t stop thinking of today’s video all day while I was at school!😂❤️

Laura, we save our bailing twine, there's always a use for it. Believe me you'll find plenty, so hang onto it. Sometimes I even braid it to make extra ropes. You can use any macrame braiding, such as the one used to make the survival bracelets that used to be popular, & the ropes actually can look quite fancy. It doesn't hurt to have the vet recheck Willow again. I do that all the time with ours, the peace of mind is worth it. I too believe God directs us to things we need to know. Expect to see the pecking order established again now that Storm is home, but it will work itself out. (Look how Stella, Finn & Willow get along together now.)

He’s a really nice horse 🐎 gabby is so excited 😆 I wish I had Finn and storm also Stella xx U guys are the best toys and playing time gone with horses HORSES WIN EVERY TIME love u guys keep the good work up wow though you guys are sooooo magical 🧙‍♀️ 🧙‍♂️

I’m so excited!! This is such a big step for you guys and you’ve handled it sooooo well! I love your channel so much, you guys are amazing! 💛🧡💚💙

So happy that storm is finally home. Although it's sad that you left your old barn, but you guys are still going to go back there every now and then for lessons and to ride with Kaylee. Now that storm is home you guys can create a stronger bond and have many more adventures and spend every single moment together with all your horses.

AUGH STORM ISNT EVEN MY HORSE AND IM SO EXCITED

Always go with your gut! No one knows your horses better than you and if you notice that something is off I would either keep an eye on it or call out a vet. That call out cost for the vet is annoying I know, but it really can save your horses life! I noticed that my mare was a little under the weather and when I rode she was snorting more than usual, so I called out a vet and they did a blood test and turned out that she was coming down with a respiratory infection. A week of antibiotics and quarantine later and she was given a full bill of health and she's back to full ridden work again. If we didn't get the vet out so quick and I didn't go with my gut feeling she might not be here today.

How exciting!! Storm at home with the rest of the babies!!

I’m so exited that storm is home!!!!! 😆😆 your barn is turning into an amazing place!!

Omg 😲 I remember the vlog where you arrived at the old barn with your horses and they had to be on their own in isolation and now you are bringing Storm home 🐴

Storm is such a beautiful horse. That muscles.....great job Gabby👏👏👏

I use my baling twine for tying up my horses. I wrap it around where I want to tie them (a fence or something else) then I tie their lead ropes through it.

YAAAY!!!!! I literally screamed when I saw the post that you are bringing Storm home!!!! I’m so happy for you guys!! Love you guys! 🐴❤️🐴

Yay storm is finally coming home! I cant wait till I move in a month and I get to bring my horse home. I cant wait to be able to walk in to my back yard and see him everyday. He makes my life so much better.

Great home trick for ulcers is star anise crushed up and put in the food! I use it for my own horses and it really works!

we use are for leads at show or at the barn for new horses learning , and just to tie to keep our stuff together

DayByDay Vlogs, I have found that jeffers equine has a "mini" section with saddle pads and halters and all things you need for a mini. So happy that yall have all the horses at your barn now, and to see all of yalls dreams come true!

Yippie! I’m so glad you brought him home! Lots of love!!❤️😜😍

yayyyy! So exited for the horses to all be home!

Omg Iv been checking all my notifications and been waiting all morning for this video yass

I’m so happy for you guys, You guys have come so far!

So excited for your journey, it’s actually going to be amazing! ❤️

Omg I've been so exited for this all day as the notification come up as i arrived at skl xx

I have bin waiting for this moment I love this i think all the horses will be friends and you guys will have the cutest horse family in the world love your videos I subscribed this Christmas and your one of my favourite RU-vid channels I'm waiting for the next video❤❤❤

Ahhhhhhhhh so happy and excited to see what gabby and storm will accomplish. Have fun trying to pull gabby out of the barn long enough to do daily needs.

Yay I’m so excited for you guys finally storm is home ❤️❤️

Finn looks so good in purple I’m glad you guys got a barn and I’m glad storm is there I started watching your videos more since you moved and I love it keep up the good work

Storm looks so pretty in the thumbnail. And I'm so excited for you guys, it must be nice to finally bring Stormy boy home to your farm. I hope Finn, Stella, and Storm get along with each other.❤❤😊

I bet it feels great having them all together!

Some people at my barn use the twine for like a seat scraper. So say after you bath your horse and you dont have a sweat scraper you can always use the twine and honestly I think it works ALOT better. I have a paint that LOVES mud and it gets the muddy water off when I hose him off.

Can’t believe this is actually happening I’m so exited for you guyssss eekkk I’m actually so eexited to watch this hope it goes really well for you guys 😁

Your horsie journey is moving along so fast! Exciting stuff. We are just buying our own farm for the nonprofit and will be moving all 7 big horses 2 minis and a mini donkey in the next 45 days out of the boarding facility we shared space with. You're inspiring and helpful to us *:D

Hey!! For Willow you can give her Gasx and that will for sure help her tummy out. :) so happy storms home!

How could anyone dislike this?!? Looove the thumbnail! Storm is so handsome.

I just wanted to say that don't alarmed if Storm and Finn fight a little. It's just them deciding who is the boss. Once that is settled, they should be fine together ❤

I was waiting for so long for this video! Always Highlight of the day when you guys post!!!!

Fin and willow seem to get along much better!!!

That's very exciting! Can't wait to see more footage of Storm back at home 🐴😁

Yay!!! Soo happy you're bringing your boy home! :) 💚

If only you guys had room for one more horse you could have taken in Tex! That would have been so awesome tbh. So glad that storm is home and Gabby is able to just go out and ride him now and strengthen their Bond.

You should get lockers for your barn so both gabby and Sophie can have their own space 🤷‍♀️💗

First like,first comment,first view. Im so excited you brought storm home and you'll need Sam to build a large area for Storm and probably you can put Finn in there to then you will have a mare and a gelding pasture.Yesterday at my barn I rode a gelding called Dobby and he look exactly like Finn! With the twine you should tie it in the stall so you could tack up in the stall.

AH! I have been waiting for this!! I’m so excited for you guys!!

OMG. Storm is comeing home on my birthday. This is the greatest birthday ever!!!

So happy for you hope everything goes as good as you hope 💜

I had bladder issues and which made my stomach hurt so I would look into to that! But I liked how you respected other religions and points of view, not all people can bring themselves to say that. Love you guys!

Omg I have been waiting for this video for so long I am so happy for you guys! ❤️

YAY Storm is home!! Love it🐴❤️❤️

in my old barn we used to use twine to make fillet strings when the horses broke them and it saved buying new ones (u have to braid it before tying it)

You can tie it to the stall door then tie the lead to it so it’s a quick release. Also you can open the new hay bales with it. IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS DAY YAY!

"Finn is a wall pooper & that's ok, everybody has their thing"😂😂😂 Oh Laura, I love your thinking!

u don’t realise how excited i was to watch this video lol ☺️💗 so happy the day has finally come for ye ! 🤯💝

IV BEEN WAITING for this day for so long aghh so happy

You’re such a sweetheart Laura! 🙏❤️

Storm is finally coming home!

YAYYAYAYYA! So happy for y’all!

😃 Gabby must be so exited!

Welcome Home Stormy Boy!!

Are you guys going to get a new horse trailer? You won’t have enough room for all your horses when you go camping

I need more 🥴 - cannot wait for the next video.

Gabbie and storm are seriously made for each other 💜x

Lovely that Stella it’s like if you do it we will because she is braver and she will scare all the monsters away

I have been waiting for this for a very long time!!!!!

It will be soo cool for your YT to make new intro with all of your animals(horses,trainers cat,dogs) and you(Gabby,Laura,Sam,Sophie)❤️YOU ARE THE BEST AND sorry for my bad english

It is so great that storm is home💕🐴

YAY GABBY IS SO EXCITED PROBABLY, also please make shut up and jump sweatshirts

OMG STORM IS HOME HOW EXCITING you guys are complete now

Laura, look into Fly Parasites. They totally decrease the amount of flies on the property! Also, check Pleasant Ridge for mini stuff. :)

I stayed home sick today and this was an amazing thing to wake up to!! Also it would be so fun if kaley (sorry if I spelt it wrong) came over when your out door arena is done and rides with you guys!

D ream A wesome Y our heart Being yourself Your horses D aring A mazing Y ou That took so long love yah💜

Finally ♥️ glad he’s hope and hopefully happy good luck 😃

Welcome home Storm!! Your herd is complete!

Storm looks really pretty in the picture

We use hay twine to make cross ties. We get diffferent colors each bale and we braid it then hook clips to them. Works amazing

Wooooo hoooooo! So super excited!

For what to do with the twine, the barns that i have been to have all used them to hold up something or have something tied to it. So you can tie a piece on a hitching post or a pole that you may want to tie them to and then separate a few of the strands on the twine and you can tie a horse to that. It works as a break away in an emergency. Also since Storm is still walking with high steps lol when the boots are on, since he is gonna be by you now and im aure Gabby is gonna want to spend as much time around him as possible, go out with him and put his boots on and just walk him around to get him use to it itll make a difference. And it will help with bonding, doing small activities that he is usually uncomfortable with and getting him comfortable with them i hope this made sense and is helpful.
