What is your favorite thing about the Highland Pony breed? 🐎

@user-qr8ki8ue4i Год назад

They look a little bit like mini Andalusians. In fact I wonder if they have some Spanish roots, given their cresty necks, and one horse in particular in this vid that has the "eye" (@ 3:13)

@gaylereid8264 Год назад

I L❤️VE,L❤️VE L❤️VE the wild & wooly look!!! The Faroese pony has feathered hooves & they just look like the big boys w/out a sense of scale!!! All the horses have beautifully coloured coats, i think.

@checkcheck8288 Год назад

I have a highland pony and I do western riding with him, I have to agree with everything the lady said. They are so intelligent, very close to people, a giant heart. Mine is not so easy though, maybe a little bit too intelligent sometimes, with a strong temper, you really have to be his friend so he can give the best of him, otherwise ... it can become a little complicated ^^ also really cold, not afraid of many things, but really willing to go forward especially in the winter time. Love him so much.

Love the Video! My Arab mare would not have passed the crane monster.😂 This Scottish Pony should have been my first horse!!! Great character, not so spooky. Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪 Hessen ❣️😃👍💚

@DiscoverTheHorse Год назад

Thanks! Hahaha, yes, I know quite a few horses that would think the crane monster was definitely out to get them as well 😁.

There's my dream horse, right there.

@yasminhelenendangeredspecies Год назад

Yay! Such a fine Adventure in the wilds of beautiful Scotland. This looks like one of the BEST places to go ever. I could live there. Looks like Paradise. Love these Highland Ponies. Trekking with the Highlands looks amazing. I think it's really great the 1st Breeder doesn't even think about breaking them in until after 5. They get to just be Wild and Free 🐎 these Gorgeous Highlands have a Great Spirit you can see it in all of them. The intelligence-absolutely. Walkin all about the Green fields while the ponies are grazing-Heaven. So Lovely! 🐎💖🙆🍀🌞 ~ Thank you so much for making these videos bc I never get to see anything like this.

Love that they have preserved this breed. They are just perfect!

In the 1960s and 1970s we lived in England (I’m Canadian) and when we toured the UK, Scotland and Wales, we did pony trekking almost daily. It was my greatest joy. There’s nothing like the love of the English for ponies. We stayed a week at a camping/pony trekking place near Edinburgh Scotland and we stayed a week. I volunteered with the horses that whole week and it was the happiest time of my life. I wish I could remember the name of the place and I wonder if it’s still around today.

@DiscoverTheHorse Год назад

That is so awesome!! Sounds like it was an absolute blast.

@caseyscattle Год назад

It made my day to see the highland cows, we have a fold of about 85 head and I just finished showing four this weekend, they’re a wonderful breed of cow! And the dehorned mahogany (dark red with white, has also been referred to as “frosted”) was drop dead gorgeous!

@DiscoverTheHorse Год назад

Aww, I am so glad to hear that! My dad grew up on a dairy farm in Minnesota, but this was my first-time meeting Highland Cows - I love them!!

@dawoof5119 Год назад

i want a highland now

@cynthiabrown2806 Год назад

When the shot panned out and the castle was in the background, it was absolutely stunning! I have dreamt of pony trekking in the Highlands since I was a child. I love the ponies, history, beauty of Scotland. Someday, maybe...I love their versatility and was very happy the first woman doesn't start hers until they have a chance to grow/be kids.

@ninakaiser2930 Год назад

This looks like so much fun! What a versatile breed with so much tradition. Thank you for showing us! Those ponies do really have charm.

@maccifyme 5 месяцев назад

My horse definitely would walk right past that constructing thing (I don't know what they're called in english 😂 ) I'm very proud to say she's very brave and non-spooky for a showjumper! I love all the native British pony breeds! They have something so special about them. The Fell are my favorite, but the Highland pony is also really amazing!

@JoannaLamont333 Год назад

They are truly a wonderful breed. My first was a Highland. She was very smart indeed with a lovely temperament & lots of personality.

@DiscoverTheHorse Год назад

💜Awww, what a great breed to learn on!

This is the look and versatility I admire. I read somewhere years ago, “Admire the tall, but saddle the small.”

@noninoni9962 Год назад

The horse owner had one thing right--- When I crossed the border from England into Scotland, I felt a relief that I don't think I ever felt before... I know via dna that my paternal descendents are English and Irish, but I'm not sure all of which parts of the UK, other than England and Wales, my maternal side originated centuries ago. Regardless, I'm sure some in our lines are familiar with the Scottish horse breeds... They'd have to be a tough breed to survive the weather in the beautiful Highlands, that's obvious even in today's specimens... Thanks for showing us this breed, and the others, from Scotland!!

@nancyhahn5998 Год назад

The ponies looked like they were a lot of fun to ride!

@rofiahcrawford3250 Год назад

@Faelani38 Год назад

I like this breed :)

@christinafragis7224 Год назад

What a gorgeous pony!! Thanks for taking us along Alyssa. Can't wait to go to Scotland and go trail riding 😊😊

@hollywebster6844 Год назад

I was not familiar with this breed and I am surprised by the physical diversity! They are amazing! Thanks for showcasing these wonderful ponies.

@carolinek8658 Год назад

Are you going to Sweden? We have two native breeds. One working horse and a pony. Nordsvensk brukshäst (north swedish drafthorse) and Gotlandsruss (Gotlandpony). The ponies live on the island Gotland and live semi wild

@DiscoverTheHorse Год назад

I will be! Looking forward to meeting them!!

I was lucky to ride Jock last year. He was such a good boy x

My favorite thing about the Highland Pony is that they remind me a little of Lippitt Morgans.

@domitille4752 Год назад

I really like your videos and discovering breed I had never heard of enflée :) Just a small thing about the sound in your videos, when wearing headphones the sound is sometimes only on the right side or on the left. I don’t know if its intentional. If it is I don’t really mind, but if it isn’t maybe check the balance. I thought I would mention it ^^

@PrayerWarrior4 Год назад

Just gorgeous 😍

@pattirockgarden4423 Год назад

Look very much like an Icelandic horse!

@aprilries Год назад

You should totally ride an Australian stock horse many where designed for stock work but many including one that I own does high level dressage.

@DiscoverTheHorse Год назад

They are one of the upcoming breeds I'll be filming! Cannot wait to meet them!

@barryandjackypowell8239 Год назад

I first pony trekked in Scotland for a week in 1964 when a student in the United Kingdom. That was at the Castle Hotel, near Gleneagles. I trekked again at Dalbrack near Montrose where I spent two weeks in total on the farm in 1971 and again in 1975. As a fairly competent rider, I was allowed on the second occasion to trek alone with my young son since the owners knew they could trust me, as well as their ponies to keep us all safe. a memorable occasion.

@DiscoverTheHorse Год назад

Wow!! Those sound like incredible experiences!!!💜

My riding school has loads of highland pony’s and at a pony club course someone found out that our riding school own either 5% or .5% I can’t remember 😂

@joannesmartens9442 Год назад

Of course that the highland ponys are scottish. A beautiful landscape with that castle ruin. They have fat legs and are muscled.🥰

@aponinaapu2973 Год назад

You need come to czech republic and ride Norik or "kladrubský kůň" copy paste :) But those are my favorit breed

Where do you get shire horses from I what a ride too

@sew_horsey_helen Год назад

Such beautiful ponies! I grew up in the Highlands and learned to ride on Highland ponies. They certainly know their own minds, but are fun, versatile and sure footed, as well as gorgeous ponies. Loved this video.

@DiscoverTheHorse Год назад

What a fun place to learn to ride! Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching!

@abxv_ Год назад

I read the title as "Pony Twerking" needless to say I was slightly disappointed but this video was really good so it's a win-win.

@Wendy-bd9zu Год назад

Nice! Do they mature later than other breeds?

@hayati6374 Год назад

No most breeds’ communities just start their horses younger. Which can be done, but when their joints are more mature they will be healthy until they are much older on average. That’s for all horses, they really don’t differ that much

@user-qr8ki8ue4i Год назад

The pony @5:09 could easily be mistaken for a Norwegian Fjord.
