@nozee77 Год назад

Wow, what a bunch of gorgeous horses in one video!!! Also, I totally appreciate how gentle you let the stallion chew out his bit at the end. To many people just let it fall and it hurts the horses teeth. The expression on your face through the entire video is priceless. 😊

@ari-etta Год назад

Now I am not a horse person, I even fear them. Tried to get over that by riding myself. Not a succes. But I love learning new facts on animals and caring for them in the right way. I had no idea chewing out a bit was even an option. So thank you for this gem of information. This is just a piece of info you don't find in books.

@nozee77 11 месяцев назад

@@ari-ettaOh thank you for your kind words, it is really sweet of you to say that! ❤ Some people don't realize that the bit, which obviously is made out of some kind of metal most of the times, can really hurt the horses front teeth from the back side when the rider does not let go of it slowly. It just slams against them chompers. Outch. And stallions and geldings also have some small pointy teeth directly below the bit, called stallion teeth (some call them canines, which is not exactly what they are biologically). Those are even more prone to get hurt by a bit that's falling out of the mouth without beeing slowed down by either the horse chewing it out or the rider holding it back/letting it come out slowly. I am glad you found that piece of information helpful or at least interesting. 😅

Around 1980, when I was a young teen, my riding school in Holland took a bunch of us with ponies to a horse show for an exhibition. The ponies were stabled right next to about a dozen Friesians. It was my first encounter with the breed and I was enchanted by them and I have always remembered them. They were so huge and so nice to be around. Most of them were draft horses and they were even stockier than the handful of riding horses they had. At the time they explained that the slightly lighter horses were more comfortable to ride. Now, when I see Friesians they all look more like the "riding" horses I was introduced to. Loved your video

I bought a double registered Friesian for my wife a couple of monrths ago. She had two paint horses for 23 and 24 years respectively. They both passed away within 3 months of each other this year. Rockhart FOM was (is) an early Christmas gift to help her through the grief of losing her paints. He's a beautiful 16.3 gelding and he's already made a huge difference for her. The only unfortunate thing is that though he's won a number of shows and was the United States All Breeds Level 2 Dressage Champion in 2021, she's not a professional rider so he'll probably spend the rest of his days being a big pet and being ridden with a western saddle through the countryside. I love this breed.They're powerful yet gentle animals. I think she loves him more than she loves me, but that's ok. LOL

I had such an amazing opportunity to ride two Friesians daily as an exercise rider the summer before my freshman year of college. Their canter would stop time. At the end of the summer, the owners took me to their annual trip to Acadia National Park with the horses and we rode and drove the historic carriage trails. We stayed for several days. It was magical and I'll never forget it (Unfortunately, I made the terrible mistake of asking for money the following summer, and that put a stop to that.) Friesians are amazing. I felt misty just watching this episode. I do hope to own one one day. Thank you.

In the mid 1990's, I was a member of the Seattle Knights. I took horseback riding lessons by way of them, and I had the pleasure and honor of getting to ride a couple Friesians on a regular basis, among a number of other breeds. Friesians are definitely my favorite! (Although I love them all!) They're just so beautiful! Their gaits are super smooth, and their personalities so sweet. I even got to ride a couple of them for a jousting workshop I participated in -- it was great! Bit of a challenge to photograph an all-black horse... I, too, am hooked on Yvonne's Frisian Follow the Herd RU-vid Channel, can't live without it. It's so relaxing. Oh, a Friesian Quadrille is an absolute must-see. There's one on RU-vid -- incredible! There you see 16 teams of two Friesians all pulling two-wheeled carts in complex formations. Check it out! Thank you so much for showing us a ride on a stunning stallion!

I used to teach lessons at a barn years ago with my personal Friesian and even though he was 17hh he had an absolute teddy bear personality and I very often used him to teach first time riders from little kids up to adults. He did however have a bad habit of unlocking all of the stall doors and letting the other horses out to pasture 🤣 For anyone wanting a horse I def recommend this breed but be on your toes, these guys are super smart and if they're bored they will find shenanigans to get into lmao

@irishcoffee6894 Год назад

You are so right !! They are smart and can achieve what other horses have to do with power with their intelligence. btw, if you would like a corresponding dog with them..... Take Schnauzer. But be aware, they too are VERY KEEN AND INTELLIGENT. You will have to be three steps ahead otherwise they outsmart you. Advantage, you have a guard dog, clown and companion for your horse that looks almost the same when trotting around. A well groomed Schnauzer has also feathers on his legs and it looks almost as if you have a mini miniature of your horse around

@AnarchoShark Год назад

@@irishcoffee6894 funny you brought up the schnauzer breed bc I've been planning on getting one for a number of years, but until recently work has prevented me from doing so. I've been looking at getting a giant schnauzer next spring. More as a personal protection animal and home pet as opposed to strictly a barn dog since my line of work deals in fugitive recovery.

@irishcoffee6894 Год назад

@@Niko-td7ok as with all horses, you def. need a certain level in riding horses before even trying to ride a horse. But the Frisian horse is a forgiving kind of horse. So if you have a certain level of riding experience you could decide to buy a Frisian horse and continue to develop your riding skills. If your instructor is good (s)he can make sure your experience will rise TOGETHER with your horse.

Yes I have met a Fresian. You are so right, they can connect with you on a soulful level. I met a 2-yr old colt and I named him "Frizz" eventhough I asked him his name - he transmitted "My name is Thor." When I met his handler 2 weeks after, his handler confirmed his name - "Thor." But he answers to "Frizz" when he sees our car pulling up - he runs to the front and waits for us. When we call "Frizz" he would follow. He is the ultimate love of my life. He comforted me when I lost my mom to COVID. Frizz nudged me a few times, and he clowned to make me smile. I miss him. He left to train for his dressage in the eastcoast.

I follow "friesian horses" and i'm recommanding you to look the most emotional video on this channel "love at first sight". You will love it !!!! In that stable they have many star mares and even a few crown mares. Maybe geertje will become model. She became crown at 3,5 years. The owner of that stable G (from goengamieden) Rein sold one stallion to the king, and he hopes, and we all, that he will have one day a model mare(the best) and an aprouved stallion. But the inspections are very serious and hard. They say that riding a friesian is riding another animal, totaly diferent from other breeds. There they are going many times in the car with one or two horses. And even a little neighbor boy ride with them. I saw you already on many horsebreeds. Nice videos, but this one i love very much, because they are friesians. Please take a look to that special video. About more than 11M views i think. And the channel is over the whole world with more than 320K. So it has to be special. 👍💞

Yes its true there are more than 500 approved stallions, but that is in the last 150 years the Studbook have existed. Most are dead long ago. Right now in 2022 there is around 100 approved stalions alive in the world, and most of them are in NL. 25 are in the US (most of those are breed in NL)

@@rikkest9872 Then, with only 100 Apprived Stallions, at present, it MUST be time for " new blood" before the Friesians become in bred, once more.... Terrifying 🤔 thought! Lisa 🇦🇺🐨😨👑🐎🌷( approved, sorry .)

@rikkest9872 Год назад

@@lisajoyaslanis Well the Studbook have decided that approving 4-5 stallions every year, is the best way to improve the breed. New blood is not allowed in a closed Studbook, and with carefull breeding (like they do at Stall G) every year the Friesian Horse becomes less inbreed, even without including new blood from other breeds. BTW Yvonne made a great video about how she chose stalions for the mares at Stall G

@lisajoyaslanis Год назад

@@rikkest9872 NO! Not " new blood from other breeds...!!" New blood, as in a few extra Friesian Stallions! It would not do, to mix the breeds... Defeating the whole Intention!!! Lisa 🇦🇺🐨😨😒😤😠😨

I had the priviledge of growing up next door to one of the first Friesian breeding operations in the US in the 1980s. Almost every day I would go out my back door, roll under the fence and spend hours in the field with the mares and foals. They had a part in raising me. So many fun and funny memories with my four footed friends. At the time I had no idea how blessed I was (nor how tiny and bald most other horses are in comparison!)

We are lucky to have some gorgeous Friesians, some retired champion's, only few hours drive away from where I live in Poland. I don't care much for looks usually but these horses have the kind of firm, yet gentle character that captivated me in draft horses. Osada Karbowko is a lovely, quite posh agricultural/spa place that keeps Friesian for pleasure riding if anyone is looking for a place for family friendly horse holiday in central Europe. The terrains are gorgeous and the main trainer is very cool guy always happy to take more experienced riders for an amazing ride with these beauties.
