I did travel around in at least 32 countries , been lucky to see many breeds of horses in different habitat not necessary similar to the habitat in theirs root land. Out of all the horse breeds I have seen , Arabian Horse breed is something unique not only in number of bonds in its body, but in their elegant way of walking, galloping and running. That captured your heart immediately.
Now, please say something positive about The Friesian Horse, on their channel.. will be looking for it, Thanks! Friesian fan. ( And yes, the Arabian is pretty special)
@@MrKErocks Not really, they only get a fine, the Netherlands is one of the most tolerant countries for animal abusers, it is absurd, luckily horses no longer have to work in our country.
Loose hay isn't that heavy. And bringing it from the land to the farm was only a short distance. Actually pulling a wagon with full milk cans or a plough through heavy clay took more effort. Those farmers loved their horses nearly/just as much as their family and worked with them every day the whole year round. Do you really think they would mistreat them?

@@Populiervogel Jij snapt er echt helemaal niks van. Mijn vader werkte elke dag met paarden op de boerderij en die beesten deden niets liever dan werken. Onze Corrie (Friese merrie) heeft 16 jaar lang (1955-1971) bij ons doorgebracht; ook nadat wij in 1965 een tractor kochten. Toen zij stierf was het alsof wij een familielid verloren en was mijn vader in diepe rouw. Bijna alle boeren waren diep verknocht aan hun paarden. Het waren hun vrienden en werkmaten. En reken erop dat zij goed verzorgd werden.
To call your horse a Friesian the Friesian association is so picky otherwise it’s a Fire Friesian which is understandable that they want to keep them pure and all black
Ever heard of wikipedia? Although horses appeared in Paleolithic cave art as early as 30,000 BCE, these were wild horses and were probably hunted for meat. How and when horses became domesticated is disputed. The clearest evidence of early use of the horse as a means of transport is from chariot burials dated c. 2000 BCE. However, an increasing amount of evidence supports the hypothesis that horses were domesticated in the Eurasian Steppes approximately 3500 BCE;[1][2][3] recent discoveries in the context of the Botai culture suggest that Botai settlements in the Akmola Province of Kazakhstan are the location of the earliest domestication of the horse.[4]
