@@isabellepanza9403 Thank's Isabelle. Very interesting to learn because in French we've got only one word, whichever method is used, and it's awful : débourrer! And "bourré" means drunk in street slang! So french people sober young horses up 🤔
Watch Monty Roberts it’s amazing how he trains horses, he’s very gentle, his father trained the “old” way and he decided to be different and he got much better results. Watch the 3 part video when he said he wanted to capture and break a wild horse in 3 days and he did it. Amazing. I hope I explained that correctly it’s been a while since I’ve watched it.
I just loved Eefje and miss her. She used to crack me up when she'd put her whole leg through the bars of her stall and just stand there looking so funny! Get well Yvonne!
Effjie is such a kind, gentle and confident horse. She's also so proud of her skills too. Her prancing is elegant and I'm betting she will be a star mare...on to part two
We always see very well behaved and cooperative horses in the videos. Much thoughtful work had to be invested before. I love to see how patient and respectful they're treated when learning. 😊
Sie lernen schnell und gut. Ihr seid immer sehr entspannt im Umgang miteinander. Das überträgt sich und kommt in den Videos immer sehr gut rüber. Werde schnell wieder gesund Yvonne, damit du dein Hobby wieder genießen kannst.
Thank goodness you at Stal G want to ASSIST your horses in learning, not breaking their spirits. The love and understanding that you have for your horses is profound. I love your videos. I am learning along with the horses!!!
As I've said before, a horse lover having never owned but always dreamed, I used to ride with a friend on her horses...as you rub them down, braid and pat approval, I am reminded of the feel of the horse hair on my hand, their breath on my neck as I walk her back to the stall, the smell of a horse and that connection to this majestic creature is something I will never forget as long as I live...thanks for these vlogs, beautiful...
I really love watching your videos. I take care of a Wonderful Friesian Mare . Willow came from the Netherlands about 12 years ago. So it’s fun to watch your Beautiful Horses . ❤ Laura 🇺🇸♥️
Wow! It is so nice watch all of you with theses horses. The respect you have for them is refreshing. You love and respect these beautiful mammals. Lovely. ❤️
She did so well. Now I see why you always went to the meadow when they were grazing and you would go pet them all even the babies. You built their trust. Which is showing now how important that was.
I love how quiet and respectful your hands are with the horses. No wonder they are so calm and willing to try something new. Not once did I hear a raised voice either. I love the small step approach in letting them get used to things. When the horse bolted towards the arena I love how you simply just turned the horse around and didn't raise your voice. You gave the horse time to process what was happening and then to think it through.
I think this is pretty big testament to how well dispositioned Friesians can be. Not all horses are the same and all breeds have their quirks, but watching these guys take this with pretty calm demeanors was a treat. I've seen horses flip over having a saddle pad placed on their backs even though they have worn and are familiar with blankets. I've also seen a Clydesdale stand quietly munching on treats while being groomed and then saddled for the first time. Really some breeds are just amazing with how quiet and calm they can be. All horses can flip and get scared but its really amazing how some breeds stand out for how quiet they usually are.
They certainly respond so well to your way of training and grooming. It’s enjoyable to watch their progress from first being tied up in the stall for 5 or 10 minutes when quite young, to this and more!
A good way of training, a little at a time, gentle repetition and affectionate praise as the horses learn. Much less traumatic than seeing how wild rodeo type horses are broken. Every animal and child in this world deserves to learn this way and develop trust and companionship with caring people. Reminds me of my 3rd grade teacher, who practiced firm but caring teaching and always made her students feel important and special and made learning enjoyable, even if we weren't perfect.
@@LindaEll89 I totally agree with this method. Let the horse first gain trust. Training should be enjoyed by the horse. It's wonderful to see this happening.
I think it’s great the level of care you have for training the horses. I have witnessed not so great and I was very disturbed by what I saw from a distance. So glad to see this. If I think an animal is being hurt I just go ballistic!! This is so good to see. ♥️♥️♥️
I love this channel. I have learned so much about friesian horses and horses in general from watching. You are a great teacher Yvonne. Thank you for sharing. ❤🙂🐎
Give the babies extra love for me ❤️ I just got out of surgery and your vids bring me so much joy and are making my recovery so much more bearable. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Jumpin Spood Oh no! If u don’t mind me asking what type of surgery?? I can certainly understand, my surgeries/procedures started as a little girl around 3-4 & I can relate to being stuck in bed not able to move, it’s NOT fun! These horses are beautiful magnificent beings & watching Yvonne’s videos definitely helps me on a bad day if I’m not feeling well, having pain or an anxiety.😊 Sending prayers for a quick smooth recovery♥️♥️🐴
I love watching you handle and train these well bred Friesian horses from foaling to saddle. Their trust and confidence in you is wonderful to see! I trained thoroghbred race horses for twenty years and always tried to get to know each individual and train each according to their strengths. I envy your relationship with each of these beautiful horses!

I don't know what I do without you and your beautiful horses, you make my day ,everyday. My husband is dying of two disease's. So I am home with him retired too. I use to have horses most of my life, now no more , but now I do with you and your entire horse families, I just want you to know that I understand can appreciate all of you and I am very knowledgeable about horses.

Well that was yrs ago. I just want you to know that all of you are Blessed !!! Blessings Marion 🙏💞
Actually, after watching these videos for a long time now, I see that Yvonne trains the horses from the start. She holds her hand out when they are just one or two days old to get them used to being friends. When they are a little older I see them with halters in the pasture. They are constantly gently handled. This is all part of training a horse. The more structured training starts around 3 years old, which is the right time to do so.
Your videos are very very informative! I am learning so much - thank you! I simply cannot stop watching, the breed is so beautiful and you can’t help but fall in love with your herd! ❤️
Thank you for showing us how you continue to train your horses. They are not only beautiful, but also have good dispositions. You all are also very calm with them and that shows. This was very interesting.
I was really surprised to see training at 3 years. They did well and it shows the good character of these magnificent horses. Thanks for sharing how they are trained. Very interesting and informative!
Good lesson in training! Also easy to see the different temperaments of the three horses. They learn to trust and do the work by your gentle handling and understanding. Goed zo!

I always learn so much from this channel. I always thought that lessons like tying were taught much earlier than 3. I guess it depends on the trainer and the mental maturity of the horse as everyone is different.

Building trust through gentleness and fairness is the key for any animal. These horses never feel the need to escape or defend themselves. Lovely.
Geod zo to all your young horses starting this journey.
That was so interesting. In a big horse like that I would think good temperament would be a major factor when breeding.
The Fresians are beautiful when they trot! So graceful and powerful at the same time!

Eefje has got beautiful conformation and a good mind. I love that you wait til the horses are older before you start training them.

3 years old is just a huge toddler, but these ones have such good well bred temperaments that there is no toddler tantrums. The humans give them time to think in their learning process, nothing is rushed, and the horses accept willingly because it is all done with kindness and respect.

I think maybe this outside the front door method should be adopted over here, at a glance you can see how much hay your horse has got through, without having to stick your head in to look inside the stall, which young and nervous horses are not used to. Also, haynets can be a danger to a horse if it manages to get it unhooked from the wall, possibly getting a hoof caught in it and getting tangled up, which would be terrifying for a young prey animal thinking it had one of its legs caught. Also, if your horse had stopped munching the hay, and the pile was untouched for a couple of hours I would be going to check horse for possible colic. Loved the mini door for the little Shetland to reach.
