Poor Yfke! Love how hero horse Risey looks after his friend. Love how you as a hero look after your horses. Very stressful, yes, but very important information for those of us wishing to learn from you. Thank you for your amazing strength in showing us the downs as well as ups. Blessed Be ❤
Risey knows something’s not right. Even knowing Yfke is better I’m so anxious right now. Bless you Yvonne for taking such good care of her and all the horses.
Oh boy Risey what a great job you are doing keeping Yfke moving. It's like you know there is a serious problem and you need to help keep her moving Such a good boy he is
Yay Risey, that was a very good gallop! Keep Yfke moving! We (The Herd) love Yfke. Colic is always a mystery, but we just want Yfke to recover and show out because she is perfectly lovely and loved.❤❤❤
What a blessing that Yfke & Risey is such good friends. He is with her & assisting to keep her moving. Such a sweet boy. It is horrible seeing an animal suffering & not knowing what is wrong. 😢 At times like this I always wish they were able to speak & tell you what the problem is. Vets are really extremely clever to be able to diagnose an animal, especially since animals can't tell the vet exactly what symptoms they have.
I live in Florida and have been blessed with horses for over 40 years. (yeah. I'm old. rofl) I noticed that you have what looks like a sand arena for turn out. Here in Florida, we have a lot of sand. It's everywhere. Horses graze, picking up sand with it. They swallow it and it mixes with their food and sometimes will block their gut. It's called an impaction colic. Sometimes the blockage will move. The horse seems ok for a while. Then it stops again and the horse will get painful again. It can be a life or death surgical situation if there's too much sand. Our vet treat ours by giving them pain relief injections and tubes mineral oil into their stomach. It can take time, but the bowel movements begin again and we don't grain them until we see shiny poop so we know the oil is coming through. Once it is resolved, we slowly reintroduce grain with psyllium added as a preventative against further sand impactions. Psyllium is over the counter at any feed store. I've watched Yfke with this and her behavior very much reminds me of mine when they had sand impaction. I pray that Yfke recovers well. No, Yvonne, you are not doing anything wrong. Prayers for you and your beautiful herd.
Agreed, mineral oil helps but it's absolutely essential to keep the horse moving. Spent hours walking a Shetland pony when we were kids, and remember crying with relief when he moved his bowels.
Oh I read your comments after I posted mine about sand colic. Definitely a possibility but wouldn't it be unlikely to be the cause of the colic that the newest foal had....Baukje I think it was?
It’s really wonderful of these people giving you their experiences re colic. Thanks for helping Yvonne. She’s a good mama to those horses n she’s worried sick . Praying for you n your horses 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏.
@legacy634 yes this is a big possibility. I remember an easy test l used to do to detect sand in the gut when sand colic is expected was to put the droppings in a jar of water, after a while the sand would sink to the bottom out of the droppings and the droppings would float. It's an easy way to detect if sand is going through the gut x
Oh crikey our dearest Yvonne, please know how loved you are! Also, we all trust your judgement in everything you do! You trusted Risey with Yfke and he came up trumps! We send our love for the speedy recovery of Yfke x x x
Yvonne…I just want to give you a hug, you are amazing and I’m so sorry for the weight of horse ownership sometimes. Bless you and the horses always… so hard to see sweet young Yfke having a hard time, and Risey trying to help, but with all the ups and downs we are here for you Yvonne…sending much love and prayers ❤❤❤❤🙏🏻
That was some gallop from risey in the arena. ❤ no wonder Bauke got the other side of the fence😂. Risey was definitely helping his girlfriend Yfke to keep moving, bless him. Im glad we already know that Yfke is ok. Much love to you all and the horses of stal h. ❤❤❤
Every time one of the horses has a problem, my heart skips a beat. Yvonne, you have so many followers who love you and the horses. Remember always, you are not alone❤
You are right! Yvonne is not alone, we all worry about the horses when they are not well along with Yvonne, feel so helpless though not being able to give physical support!
Risey is such a beautiful horse! He's also a good companion for Yfke when she needs a friend. I am glad she has him to lean on. I am glad also that you have such good instincts with your horses. You know how they are feeling, and what to look for if there are problems, so they are definitely in good hands.
Het is voor Yfke wel heel erg fijn dat ze zo'n geweldige, lieve vriend heeft als Risey en dat hij haar zo steunt samen met jou en Bauke. Niks aan als je kinderen en je dieren zo ziek zijn, dan voel je jezelf ook zo ziek en zo hulpeloos... Onze gebeden voor je Yvonne!
Heart breaking. Thank you for letting us know she will be OK. Even though the video is from a previous date know there are prayers for you and your herd. ❤️
Here in Canada we always say bad luck happens in threes, 😢 I do hope Yfke is ok and Risey gets more beautiful every video, he is definitely one very handsome horse ❤❤
Dear Yvonne I'm so sorry to see that Yfke may have colic too 😵 You and Rising Star 🤩 are doing a great job in keeping her moving and as comfortable as possible. I wonder if it has to do with the wet weather 🌧 which is affecting the grass and putting the horses off their normal routines 🐎
just like us humans, when feeling bad we want to lay down but for her its not a good idea. Poor baby, I have just whispered prayers again watching the video. We all worry with you, you are not alone!!! Prayers continued for you, boss Rein, Risey and Miss Glendy and Fyke. Stay positive and we're all here!!!!!
Poor Yfke! Yes, it is awful to see her in pain like this! 😢 I can't believe this is happening yet again. I would suspect it's something in the pasture, but Risey is fine, and so are Saly, Coralle and their foals. Could this be limited to where Yfke, Reintje and Baukje go when they're outside? I'm praying for a quick recovery for Yfke, for Yvonne, and for everyone else at Stal H. There is an answer, and I pray it's discovered quickly. 🥰🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🐴🐎💞💕
You are right, it is always that particular pasture. Maybe there is something that is not quite digestible? Regarding Risey: he is a Warmblood, which might be more robust. Or did not eat the plant. As far as I know, Friesians are somewhat more sensitive in the belly area?
@SandraOrtmann1976 I had heard that about warmbloods before too. There has to be a common denominator, somewhere. Yvonne will do everything to find it, and I hope this happens quickly. 🙏🏼🐴🐎
@@dfb8854 Sadly, Friesians are highly inbred horses (close relatives have to be crossed with each other to keep the breed alive). Due to this, certain illnesses appear more and more, like stomach problems. Also, Friesians tend to get not very old nowadays. Attempts were made in the past to carefully cross in fresh blood from other breeds, but these seemed to not be too successful. As it is, I am afraid it might not get better. I understand that the breeders try everything in their might such as intense selection of parents, breed tests to preserve the breed and its wonderful characteristics (colour, kind characters, extreme beauty). But sometimes IMO we are coming to the point where action has to be taken to combat those effects which harm this outstanding horse breed.
I grew up as a "City Girl" in an Atlanta suburb (State of Georgia, Southern U.S.A). Until Yvonne began teaching me, everything I knew about Horses, I'd learned from Television, Movies, and Books. Here in America, in the 1950's & 1960's, we had a lot of TV Shows and Movies called "Westerns". They were all about the "Cowboy Life" in the Central and Western part of the United States, set mostly in Frontier Days. Naturally, there were lots of Horses then. I still don't know how TRUE some of them are, but TWO of the things that I learned about Horses from watching those "Westerns" were: First, . . . That the legs of Horses are extremely fragile. They have me believing that one wrong turn or a very quick movement can cause a Horse's leg to snap in two like a twig. In the Movies, there was nothing that could be done to save a Horse with a broken leg. The poor creature was done. The merciful thing for the Cowboy to do was to shoot it. The End. 😪 I presume that modern medicine has found a way to mend a Horse's broken leg, and that with a lot of expensive care, a Horse can survive. Even so, every time Yvonne comments about Risey's galloping and says that he must be careful to not hurt himself, I think about this broken leg thing and shudder. Second, . . . The TV Shows and Movies always made a big deal about Horses lying down. In fact, they had me believing that Horses slept standing up, and that unless a Mare was giving birth, a Horse shouldn't lie down at all. They portrayed "lying down" as certain death. They had me so convinced of this that the first time Yvonne filmed the young Horses napping in the Pasture at Stal G, I was freaking out! Mythology. What can I say? Eventually, I learned that it is quite normal for a Horse to lie down to sleep, or to just rest for a while. Now, there's this Colic thing with the Horses. I am only now learning that there's a BIG difference between a Horse lying down to rest and a Horse lying down from Colic. A person like me, with no experience with Horses, might totally miss the signs that separate one cause from the other. Thankfully, Yvonne DOES know Horses, and she knows all of the signs to look for. The Horses are lucky to have a Caregiver like her who can read the subtle signs of their distress, and we are lucky to have a teacher like Yvonne! I have learned so much about Horses from watching Yvonne and this Channel. Yes, it's lovely to watch the Foals being born and growing up. It's fun to watch the Horses bucking and rearing and scratching and eating in the Pasture. It's interesting to watch Inspections and Dressage Competitions and local Stable Tours. BUT --- It's AMAZING how much stuff you can actually LEARN about Horses just from showing up here every day. I hope that when this 3-part Series ends, Yfke is okay. I also hope that if there is something in the Pasture that is making the Horses sick, it is discovered and eliminated before anything bad happens to any of the other Horses. This is a very scary time at Stal H. I am glad about one thing though. Yvonne is there. She knows Horses. It's almost as if she can read their minds. She WILL get to the bottom of this mystery. I'm sure of that! 🦸♀️ + 🐎 = Yvonne Horjus 👁 💙 Friesian 🐎🐎🐎 Channel!!!
This was a very nice post. Yes, Yvonne is able to spot when a horse is feeling ill and she acts quickly and gets them treated. I, as you said, have learned so much from this channel. Have great day.🐎💓
Unfortunately, some breaks are still a death sentence. I sometimes feel guilty for how much I love horse racing because of the mortality rate due to breakdowns. Just a few weeks ago I was watching the Saranac Stakes at Saratoga when The Big Torpedo took a misstep you knew was bad. He remained stable until that hoof hit the ground again and down he went, taking another horse with him. The other horse was fine but The Big Torpedo was euthanized on the track. It broke my heart into pieces.
@@karmab4391 Yes, Horse Racing is exciting and fun to watch, but it's also terrible in so many ways. I wish with all of my heart that there was a way for the Horses to Race without their lives being in danger every time they go onto the track. What a great Sport this would be, were it not for the guilt.
I too grew up watching westerns just to see and watch the horses, until I was fortunate to have a few in my teenage years. Yvonne brings it ALL back. I truly adore her kind, gentle and sensible approach with her herd and her family. If I could meet any celebrity in person it would be Yvonne Horjus 🥰
Awe Yvonne, the stress on your face breaks my heart. You’ve been through so much. I pray that this stretch of troubles ends. You and the horses just don’t deserve it. I’m sending you and sweet yfke gentle hugs and healing vibes.
Risey being both concerned & careful, he knows something is off & aims to help Yfke. Thankful to know all is well. I suspect the wet grass and/or something wrong with the water. All must be tested at this point.
I am so sorry, Yvonne. This must be particularly distressing for you to go through a 3rd time, especially since Queen 👑 Uniek's passing earlier in the year. You are so kind to share both the ups and the downs with us. I know that you have done and are doing everything you can for your precious horses ❤. I am so very thankful you are in charge! God bless you!❤❤❤
If you are feeding pellets or hay cubes make sure you soak them with warm water first and or could it something in the paddock? I used to have a mare that would literally eat the stickers bushes and then gas colic on me. Still so worrisome because I had to keep her comfortable and not rolling. I did get rid of the sticker bushes near the paddock
What really made me tear up is early in the video when Principe & Yfke are in the arena,after Yvonne has her stand again it’s almost as if Risey keys in on what happened & he helps keep Y on her feet. Horses are such priceless sentient souls and they know when something is off weather it be with a fellow herd member or their 2 legged family you’re such a good boy Risey🤗🥹🖤🧡🐎🔥❤️🩹
Es ist der großen Pferdekenntnis und dem Zusammenleben mit den Pferden Yvonne's Verdienst, daß sie sehr schnell erkennt, wenn etwas ganz und gar nicht mehr gut läuft. Was für eine emotionale Belastung zu sehen, daß die Tiere leiden und man nicht genau weiß, wo die Ursache liegt. Es ist allerdings auffallend, daß es die Pferde trifft, die auf dieser Weide grasen. Risey spürt genau, daß mit seiner Freundin etwas nicht stimmt und versucht zu helfen.❤ Wenn man ganz dringend auf den Tierarzt wartet, zieht sich die Zeit endlos. Ich wünsche Yvonne entspanntere Zeiten. Sie hat genug mitgemacht.
Poor Yfke😢 It’s so weird that Reintje got sick first and then both her fillies one after the other. Not all at the same time either… I hope you found the cause in the meantime!❤ Good job taking care of such a scary situation the way you did! ❤ Love from Québec 🇨🇦
I'm so worried! Yvonne, I can only imagine that you were out of your mind with worry! Colic can be very mild or can be deadly and it doesn't take long to go from bad to worse. It's also quite common so the horse owner has to be very diligent and keep an eye on their horses and their behavior. Yvonne, I can see that you are on top of all of your horses every single day. I'm truly praying that Yfke recovers. She's just a baby. I always hurt inside when I see an animal suffering. This is awful.
Amazing how you read your horses conditions, read their minds, understand their behaviors and early stages of possible illness. I have no knowledge of horses and only love them as beautiful creatures. Soooo my lack of understanding makes me think what you do is magic 😊. Watching you work, and learning the individual horses Names and personalities is adding a new, happy dimension to my days. So happy those lovely animals have someone as caring and competent as you to look after them ❤
Cze. Je to tak smutné, Yfke v bolestech, Risey na ni dává pozor a pomáhá jí být v pohybu a k tomu trpící Yvonne, která pochoduje 2 hodiny v aréně a doufá, že Yfke zbaví bolestí. Jsem opravdu velmi ráda, že máme dopředu zprávu, že všechno dobře dopadlo. Všechny tři koně s kolikou jsou uzcí příbuzní a pasou se na stejné louce,jinde než Saly, Blomke, Coralle a Belle. Genetika plus moc mokrá tráva a zima??? Netuším, vím jen,že Yvonne jako vždy dělá maximum ❤❤❤.
The best thing we ALL can do for Yvonne now? Stick with her, support her mentally and validate her by what she does. And she does it SO well❣️❤️ But support and understanding of course doesn't get the most "clicks", does it? 😏 Especially since the situation is a quarter of a year(!) ago and apparently no horse has had colic since then... Wich could be do for the fact that the summer (and therefore the pastures) became drier? Yvonne had consulted several vets and the clinic too and had bloodtests done. She checked the invironment, the feed and the pasture. Yvonne, you do an excellent job - with your four- and two-legged family and friends❣️ Thank you very much for sharing with us so wonderfully ❣️🥰
@@OrangeTabbyCat Mid of June I think.Maybe just 10 or 12 weeks. But it's definitely a long time ago and therefore "history". ...if that's what's most important about my statement. 😞😮💨
Thank you Yvonne. I'm so sorry you have to go through this again and poor, sweet Yfke.💙 Risey, who seems to understand everything, is helping too. He's an amazing guy.💙🐎💙 I am relieved to know that Yfke is fine now. 💙 Bon courage. Big hugs from France
Yvonne you do your humanly possible best things for your furry friends, and that is all they ask for❤ Sorry that Yfke went through a scary medical situation. Prayers 🙏 are always being sent to all of y'all to get through whatever comes y'all way 🙏 ❤ thanks for sharing with us. Our Hearts are always with y'all and the feelings are there❤ Be Safe Take Care ❤
Poor Yfke so sorry for your pain. Risey was wonderful helping her to walk about and protecting her. It must be that particular pasture that's caused all this woe as the others are okay (touch wood). You and the vets always do your best to bring them back to health. Maybe hay in the arena for a while? You'll know best. 💕💕👍🍀🐎
*Yvonne (((((((HUGS)))))) as you go this with Yfke... there has to be something that all three have eaten... something out in the pasture.... after all the rain that you have had. maybe a new weed has grown that is not normally there. Worth a check to do a walk around the pasture to see. But I hope you figure out what it is real soon 🙂nz*
Maybe Risey's disadvantage with his wobbler makes him feel more sensitive to Yfke's pain and discomfort. What a great support buddy you are being! Keeping Yfke on her feet, Goedzo!
I am hopeful Yfke has recovered or you would’ve told us. I’m so sorry for the colic episodes. Praying you’re are past that and it was merely a phase. Looking forward to Yfke growing and filling out, moving past this “awkward stage we all must pass through. I’ve been watching your weather and it seems to have been a cooler summer. Prayers for your continued healing and may the horses and family be happy and healthy. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼💞💕💖
Another two videos to go. So hard to watch Yvonne’s sadness and worry. Just as hard to watch Yfke being in pain. We know it does turn out okay in the end ❤ Maybe we learn something from the vet maybe not. At least we know already that it ends up fine. Best we can do is support Yvonne, her expenses are increasing. 💜
Risey understood the assignment, God bless him. He did a great job helping you to keep Yfke moving.
Poor Yfke! I’m glad she’s ok now. She’s such a sweet girl and Risey definitely loves her.
Risey is such a good friend to Yfke. He stays close by and seems to be concerned about her.❤
We are so sorry that sweet Yfke and Yvonne went through this dreadful ordeal😟 What a darling dear Risey is 💫 💙🤗
Poor little Yfke. Thank goodness you and Risey were there to help her, Yvonne xxxxx
Poor little Yfke and Yvonne.... I'm very glad her stall is next to Risey so she can be watched over by her. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Thank you for sharing Yvonne, and showing us this. Risey was getting worried for his buddy Yfke. Bauke, good job on the filming!
Poor Yfke! Love how hero horse Risey looks after his friend. Love how you as a hero look after your horses. Very stressful, yes, but very important information for those of us wishing to learn from you. Thank you for your amazing strength in showing us the downs as well as ups. Blessed Be ❤
Risey knows something’s not right. Even knowing Yfke is better I’m so anxious right now. Bless you Yvonne for taking such good care of her and all the horses.
Oh boy Risey what a great job you are doing keeping Yfke moving. It's like you know there is a serious problem and you need to help keep her moving Such a good boy he is
Risey, you are such a good friend to Yfke, helping to keep her moving in the arena! Goedzo!❤❤❤
I love how Risey watches over her.
Risey is being a good friend. He senses she needs to move so he’s encouraging her. What a sweet boy! Glad things worked out okay!
Risey being there helped Yfke to move. I'm sure that he knew something was wrong, so he did his best to help out. ❤
You can tell Risey's worried about her.
Oooh, 😢
It really is sweet how Risey stays by her side❤ I hope you find the source of your problem soon so no more horses get affected with the colic.
Risey is helping all he can!
Risey appears to want her to move. Blomke looking over at her. Must be silent communication. 🐎
Good job Risey, keeping Yfke moving. I think he sensed something wasn't going well for his best friend.
I love how Risey is there encouraging his Gal Pal .
I ❤how Risey is like, “Keep moving my friend” hopefully Yvonne and her team will be able to find the cause soon🙏🏼
🧡🧡
❤❤❤
Goedzo, Risey! What a sweet companion he is to Yfke. Their relationship is special, and especially important right now! She needs him. ❤
♥♥
@marylewis-fi4ef ❤
It was so sweet to see how he protected her and also encouraged her to walk around before the vet came
The wait is long but at least the companionship of Risey is helping to distract Yfke and makes her move.
Yay Risey, that was a very good gallop! Keep Yfke moving! We (The Herd) love Yfke. Colic is always a mystery, but we just want Yfke to recover and show out because she is perfectly lovely and loved.❤❤❤
That's really a joy in that stress hours how he moves and cares for her

Are there growing plants in the pasture, which are not good for horses?
Risey feels how he can help Yfke. He is a super friend for her.
That was my thought as well. Perhaps all the rain has caused something to grow, which shouldn't be?

I still don't know how TRUE some of them are, but TWO of the things that I learned about Horses from watching those "Westerns" were:
First, . . . That the legs of Horses are extremely fragile. They have me believing that one wrong turn or a very quick movement can cause a Horse's leg to snap in two like a twig. In the Movies, there was nothing that could be done to save a Horse with a broken leg. The poor creature was done. The merciful thing for the Cowboy to do was to shoot it. The End. 😪
I presume that modern medicine has found a way to mend a Horse's broken leg, and that with a lot of expensive care, a Horse can survive.
Even so, every time Yvonne comments about Risey's galloping and says that he must be careful to not hurt himself, I think about this broken leg thing and shudder.
Second, . . . The TV Shows and Movies always made a big deal about Horses lying down. In fact, they had me believing that Horses slept standing up, and that unless a Mare was giving birth, a Horse shouldn't lie down at all.
They portrayed "lying down" as certain death. They had me so convinced of this that the first time Yvonne filmed the young Horses napping in the Pasture at Stal G, I was freaking out! Mythology. What can I say?
Eventually, I learned that it is quite normal for a Horse to lie down to sleep, or to just rest for a while. Now, there's this Colic thing with the Horses. I am only now learning that there's a BIG difference between a Horse lying down to rest and a Horse lying down from Colic. A person like me, with no experience with Horses, might totally miss the signs that separate one cause from the other.
Thankfully, Yvonne DOES know Horses, and she knows all of the signs to look for. The Horses are lucky to have a Caregiver like her who can read the subtle signs of their distress, and we are lucky to have a teacher like Yvonne!
I have learned so much about Horses from watching Yvonne and this Channel. Yes, it's lovely to watch the Foals being born and growing up. It's fun to watch the Horses bucking and rearing and scratching and eating in the Pasture. It's interesting to watch Inspections and Dressage Competitions and local Stable Tours. BUT --- It's AMAZING how much stuff you can actually LEARN about Horses just from showing up here every day.
I hope that when this 3-part Series ends, Yfke is okay. I also hope that if there is something in the Pasture that is making the Horses sick, it is discovered and eliminated before anything bad happens to any of the other Horses. This is a very scary time at Stal H.
I am glad about one thing though. Yvonne is there. She knows Horses. It's almost as if she can read their minds. She WILL get to the bottom of this mystery. I'm sure of that!

This was a very nice post. Yes, Yvonne is able to spot when a horse is feeling ill and she acts quickly and gets them treated.
I, as you said, have learned so much from this channel. Have great day.🐎💓
Unfortunately, some breaks are still a death sentence. I sometimes feel guilty for how much I love horse racing because of the mortality rate due to breakdowns. Just a few weeks ago I was watching the Saranac Stakes at Saratoga when The Big Torpedo took a misstep you knew was bad. He remained stable until that hoof hit the ground again and down he went, taking another horse with him. The other horse was fine but The Big Torpedo was euthanized on the track. It broke my heart into pieces.

Yes, Horse Racing is exciting and fun to watch, but it's also terrible in so many ways. I wish with all of my heart that there was a way for the Horses to Race without their lives being in danger every time they go onto the track. What a great Sport this would be, were it not for the guilt.
I too grew up watching westerns just to see and watch the horses, until I was fortunate to have a few in my teenage years. Yvonne brings it ALL back. I truly adore her kind, gentle and sensible approach with her herd and her family. If I could meet any celebrity in person it would be Yvonne Horjus 🥰
Ever heard of “Spaghetti Westerns”? Europe had “westerns” too.
Awe Yvonne, the stress on your face breaks my heart. You’ve been through so much. I pray that this stretch of troubles ends. You and the horses just don’t deserve it. I’m sending you and sweet yfke gentle hugs and healing vibes.
Risey being both concerned & careful, he knows something is off & aims to help Yfke.
Thankful to know all is well.
I suspect the wet grass and/or something wrong with the water. All must be tested at this point.
I am so sorry, Yvonne. This must be particularly distressing for you to go through a 3rd time, especially since Queen 👑 Uniek's passing earlier in the year.
You are so kind to share both the ups and the downs with us. I know that you have done and are doing everything you can for your precious horses ❤. I am so very thankful you are in charge! God bless you!❤❤❤
Yes! Uniek was the first! Four episodes of colic...
It appears that Risey knew Yfke was unwell, especially in the stable as he was watching over her. So sad for poor Yfke.
Risey please keep Yfke moving! Time to call the vet, if you are having multiple horses I would check your feed.
If you are feeding pellets or hay cubes make sure you soak them with warm water first and or could it something in the paddock? I used to have a mare that would literally eat the stickers bushes and then gas colic on me. Still so worrisome because I had to keep her comfortable and not rolling. I did get rid of the sticker bushes near the paddock
Did you get the vet out? she is such a baby still, for colic too, my favourite youngster remember her as a foal, so gentle.
Sweet Risey helps to keep Yfke moving. I hope everything ends up being alright.
Yfke you got this girl , don’t let it get you down. Risey will take care of you
What really made me tear up is early in the video when Principe & Yfke are in the arena,after Yvonne has her stand again it’s almost as if Risey keys in on what happened & he helps keep Y on her feet. Horses are such priceless sentient souls and they know when something is off weather it be with a fellow herd member or their 2 legged family you’re such a good boy Risey🤗🥹🖤🧡🐎🔥❤️🩹
Full telepathic communication. Impressive. They teach us
Good job Risey Star ⭐️ make her stay on her feet and run and walk queen Uniek ❤ your mother would be proud of you for your taking care
Es ist der großen Pferdekenntnis und dem Zusammenleben mit den Pferden Yvonne's Verdienst, daß sie sehr schnell erkennt, wenn etwas ganz und gar nicht mehr gut läuft. Was für eine emotionale Belastung zu sehen, daß die Tiere leiden und man nicht genau weiß, wo die Ursache liegt. Es ist allerdings auffallend, daß es die Pferde trifft, die auf dieser Weide grasen. Risey spürt genau, daß mit seiner Freundin etwas nicht stimmt und versucht zu helfen.❤
Wenn man ganz dringend auf den Tierarzt wartet, zieht sich die Zeit endlos.
Ich wünsche Yvonne entspanntere Zeiten. Sie hat genug mitgemacht.
Muy cierto.
Poor Yfke😢 It’s so weird that Reintje got sick first and then both her fillies one after the other. Not all at the same time either… I hope you found the cause in the meantime!❤ Good job taking care of such a scary situation the way you did! ❤ Love from Québec 🇨🇦
I hope little Yfke will be okay, Risey's pal. Love to all.
I'm so worried! Yvonne, I can only imagine that you were out of your mind with worry! Colic can be very mild or can be deadly and it doesn't take long to go from bad to worse. It's also quite common so the horse owner has to be very diligent and keep an eye on their horses and their behavior. Yvonne, I can see that you are on top of all of your horses every single day. I'm truly praying that Yfke recovers. She's just a baby. I always hurt inside when I see an animal suffering. This is awful.
Amazing how you read your horses conditions, read their minds, understand their behaviors and early stages of possible illness. I have no knowledge of horses and only love them as beautiful creatures. Soooo my lack of understanding makes me think what you do is magic 😊. Watching you work, and learning the individual horses Names and personalities is adding a new, happy dimension to my days. So happy those lovely animals have someone as caring and competent as you to look after them ❤
Poor Yfke and poor Yvonne. It was sweet to see Blomke showing concern for her cousin... Risey is such a help with Yfke.
Cze. Je to tak smutné, Yfke v bolestech, Risey na ni dává pozor a pomáhá jí být v pohybu a k tomu trpící Yvonne, která pochoduje 2 hodiny v aréně a doufá, že Yfke zbaví bolestí. Jsem opravdu velmi ráda, že máme dopředu zprávu, že všechno dobře dopadlo. Všechny tři koně s kolikou jsou uzcí příbuzní a pasou se na stejné louce,jinde než Saly, Blomke, Coralle a Belle. Genetika plus moc mokrá tráva a zima??? Netuším, vím jen,že Yvonne jako vždy dělá maximum ❤❤❤.
Poor Yfke! Sending lots of love and prayers to her and Yvonne for a speedy recovery and the answer and solution to what is causing this !
The best thing we ALL can do for Yvonne now? Stick with her, support her mentally and validate her by what she does. And she does it SO well❣️❤️
But support and understanding of course doesn't get the most "clicks", does it? 😏
Especially since the situation is a quarter of a year(!) ago and apparently no horse has had colic since then... Wich could be do for the fact that the summer (and therefore the pastures) became drier?
Yvonne had consulted several vets and the clinic too and had bloodtests done. She checked the invironment, the feed and the pasture.
Yvonne, you do an excellent job - with your four- and two-legged family and friends❣️
Thank you very much for sharing with us so wonderfully ❣️🥰
So the videos are three months old?
@@OrangeTabbyCat
Mid of June I think.Maybe just 10 or 12 weeks. But it's definitely a long time ago and therefore "history".
...if that's what's most important about my statement. 😞😮💨
❤❤❤
I like your comment ❤👍
@@jullijulius6788
Thank you so much.🥰
Then you are a rarity. 😆
I really hate seeing Yfke in such pain, and you so worried, dear Yvonne!❤ What a sweet companion Risey is… and Blomke checking on Yfke❤
Thank you Yvonne. I'm so sorry you have to go through this again and poor, sweet Yfke.💙 Risey, who seems to understand everything, is helping too. He's an amazing guy.💙🐎💙
I am relieved to know that Yfke is fine now. 💙 Bon courage. Big hugs from France
Yvonne you do your humanly possible best things for your furry friends, and that is all they ask for❤ Sorry that Yfke went through a scary medical situation. Prayers 🙏 are always being sent to all of y'all to get through whatever comes y'all way 🙏 ❤ thanks for sharing with us. Our Hearts are always with y'all and the feelings are there❤ Be Safe Take Care ❤
Poor Yfke so sorry for your pain. Risey was wonderful helping her to walk about and protecting her. It must be that particular pasture that's caused all this woe as the others are okay (touch wood). You and the vets always do your best to bring them back to health. Maybe hay in the arena for a while? You'll know best. 💕💕👍🍀🐎
Dear dear Yfke I’m sorry you and Yvonne had to go thru this ordeal. Lucky for clever vets!! Lucky for clever Risey doing his best to help out
*Yvonne (((((((HUGS)))))) as you go this with Yfke... there has to be something that all three have eaten... something out in the pasture.... after all the rain that you have had. maybe a new weed has grown that is not normally there. Worth a check to do a walk around the pasture to see. But I hope you figure out what it is real soon 🙂nz*
Praying 🙏🏻 for ALL of them, so no one else will get sick!! Praying 🙏🏻 for Yfke to get better!!
Agree 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💯
Poor Yfke. Hopefully it goes well
Beautiful Yfke get well soon. ❤❤❤❤❤
Maybe Risey's disadvantage with his wobbler makes him feel more sensitive to Yfke's pain and discomfort. What a great support buddy you are being! Keeping Yfke on her feet, Goedzo!
We love you Yvonne...your instincts, your love and compassion, passion, and commitment to your beautiful horses ❤❤❤
So right❣️
A true, dedicated horsewoman. ❤
I am hopeful Yfke has recovered or you would’ve told us. I’m so sorry for the colic episodes. Praying you’re are past that and it was merely a phase. Looking forward to Yfke growing and filling out, moving past this “awkward stage we all must pass through. I’ve been watching your weather and it seems to have been a cooler summer. Prayers for your continued healing and may the horses and family be happy and healthy. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼💞💕💖
I HOPE PRAYERS CHANGE THINGS FOR YVONNE AND HER BROOD
Looking forward to the next videos. To me Yfkes belly looks distended. Hoping for the best and hoping you or the vet figures out the culprit.❤❤❤
Oh my goodness! I hope she gets better soon! Sending tons of good vibes.
🧡🧡Bauke and Kiki🧡🧡
Bless you Yvonne and Bauke❣️ I hope that the 2 of you can grab some time for yourselves.
Another two videos to go. So hard to watch Yvonne’s sadness and worry. Just as hard to watch Yfke being in pain. We know it does turn out okay in the end ❤ Maybe we learn something from the vet maybe not. At least we know already that it ends up fine. Best we can do is support Yvonne, her expenses are increasing. 💜
Beautiful Yfke! Please get better soon! ❤❤❤❤🩹❤❤❤
Thank you Yvonne for being so kind and loving to your horses.
I hope you solve this quickly. You are very attentive and caring with your horses and have a wealth of knowledge.
