I agree, the smell of a horse is something special. All that grace and power....

Thanks for your comment! 🐴

@dianadominguez2758 Год назад

As much as I am afraid of horses due to a childhood accident. I love to watch how beautiful and graceful they are. 👩🏻‍🦱

@apollotheshire Год назад

Oh I’m sorry to hear that! They are very majestic! Thanks for watching and commenting 🙂

@ediemeagher7401 Год назад

They are beautiful!! Must be a lot of work to get their tails and manes to look so fancy & colorful. I actually prefer them looking natural. But there is no denying their beauty! Absolutely gorgeous!!!

@apollotheshire Год назад

So much work! Thanks for watching! 🐴

@LucillenRory Год назад

Thank you for saying you love the smell of horses - i do too! Hardly anyone ever says it but it is a component on loving horses. Wow they were magnificent.

@apollotheshire Год назад

It really is! Thanks for watching and commenting. 🐴

I am literally in tears. I cannot thank you enough for these videos. I am obsessed with draft horses, and the Shires are magnificent. They are so strong and beautiful it makes me cry. Thank you.

Santiago is a world-class artist who has not only saved a magnificent creature - Apollo - but is gracing the world with his paintings... including those of Shires. I am in awe of his talent and ability to capture the majesty of the Shire.

@apollotheshire Год назад

Wow what a nice compliment. Thank you 😊

@DSWood358 Год назад

I got to stand beside a Clydesdale once and I fell in love, horses smell good, they're smart and sweet, wise beyond our knowing... thank you for the "close-ups," so I can "smell" their beautiful muzzles. Really, a memory with a lovely aroma attached.

@elizabethannegrey6285 Год назад

What an enchanting video. The smell of horses? Yes, for me it has special association. In London somewhere around 1948/9 my father, an Irish guardsman, arranged tickets for our family to attend the Trooping the Colour - the annual event where everyone is on parade for the presentation of the military colours to the monarch. We waited through a long ceremonial, and then the horses (hundreds?) stirred. I can summon that odour right now.

@apollotheshire Год назад

Wow! What an amazing experience. Thanks for sharing. 🙏

No. 26 shire had the thickest neck compared to the other shires. The 3-year-old previous stallion winner is a head-turner! Very handsome all of them. This is a magnificent horse lineage. At 2,000 lb. weight, they were all very muscular with excellent conformation and long feathers. Thank you for the upload!

@rodandjudibowen5665 Год назад

Santiago, love seeing the adolescence come through. Do the groomers use baby oil on their coats to get that shine? 🥰

@apollotheshire Год назад

No, it’s just natural oils that are released when they brush their coat. Please share, Apollo earned it! 🐴

At least the tails are not docked. The long hair can grow back, but it is a shame they don't have a full tail, especially in the summer.

There was about 150 stallions there that day and each one weighs 2k lbs+ so it’s just to help control them so they don’t get too wild. Thanks for watching. Greetings from me and Apollo🙂

Gorgeous horses

@apollotheshire Год назад

@gailnarum4700 Год назад

Astonishing and mesmerizing beauty! Interesting comment about how Shires smell differently to you. I wonder if that is due in part to their sheer body mass. How about other draft breeds? Thank you so much for these great videos from the show. I have attended the Draft Horse Expo in Nevada City, CA, and had to be dragged away!

@apollotheshire Год назад

Wow that would be awesome! I’d love to see that! I do feel like the smell thing is shire specific. Thanks for watching and commenting 🙂

What the difference between Shires and Clydesdales? Amazing looking Shires!

@apollotheshire Год назад

Well they are both drafts but a different breed. Shires are from England and are generally bigger, more muscular, and broader in the shoulders. Clydesdale are a newer breed and were originally crossbred with shires. They are both gentle giants and wonderful horses!

@BRPFan Год назад

@@apollotheshire Thank-You for your reply! After studying the Shires a bit I have found the Shires have a way bigger neck and a shorter back correct? I love the looks of a Shire, never seen one in person. I used to have a number of Clydes and harness trained a lot of young yearling Clydes. Not show material but still very nice purebred papered Clydes. I had other Draft horses as well but by far preferred the Clydes! Would love to see a hitch of Shires one day! So you say the Shires have been around longer then Clydes?

@apollotheshire Год назад

I have a video from an event with teams of shires if you want to check it out. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SRd2QBc1q6U.html Also if you check out my playlists I have lots of videos from the National shire horse show in England. Please subscribe!

@dianajohnson8099 Год назад

Why do they keep the Shires tail short? Is it traditional? Greetings from Kentucky!

@apollotheshire Год назад

Mostly just to keep it out of the way of the way for practicality at a show like this. It’s a different style than we are used to in the states to shave them but they don’t really dock tails in the UK like they do her. Thanks for watching! 🙂

@wooperlovesbts2987 Год назад

They would look even bettere if their tails werent cut this ridiculously short :(

@ThisSideMe Год назад

That’s a throwback to when shires were working horses, they couldn’t have long tails getting caught up in the traces. I do agree it’s outdated now & they would look much nicer with their tails full length & they’d be able to keep the flies off.

@apollotheshire Год назад

They actually shave their tails and tie their long tail hair up just for the show. It’s a totally different style then what we are used to in the states but it is functional for the show, without docking their tales. Thanks for watching and commenting 🙂

@nicolaosterburg5609 Год назад

The horses would look and feel much better if their tails weren't docked! This not only detracts from their beauty, but also means they can't flick away the flies. They can be plaited and turned up to make them shorter when driving. I thought docking was illegal in Britain?

@apollotheshire Год назад

They aren’t docked, it’s illegal to dock tails in the UK. They are other trimmed or braided. However, my shire horse Apollo has a huge long full tail and I have to admit, it’s the worst flyswatter of all time. It does 0% to dissuade flys to land on him.

@specterman2000 Год назад

I just wish America had all the assortments of Pig Oils England has to reduce the risk of lice and mite infestations on our Shire horses!

@farrierette5216 Год назад

Why is tail docking still a thing?

@apollotheshire Год назад

It’s not in the UK… but in the US it is still done. 🤷🏻‍♂️ thanks for commenting!

@MercurialRed9 Год назад

Stunning horses, but not loving the docked tails…

@apollotheshire Год назад

Well, that’s good since not a single one is docked. It’s illegal in England, only shaved or braided.

@jobond3317 Месяц назад

Some of the stallions I wonder if they have had their tails docked. Most I don't think so. Docking is cruel, barbaric, and not required. Thank god we are enlightened, and that practice is outlawed and illegal here
