I shed a tear seeing the heartbreaker beauty Rising Star has become, not the circumstance any of us would have wanted him to arrive at Stal H but it is good to finally see him where he belongs.
Very moving video, and Rising Star is in the best place now! Question: Where did On Top and Dreamy come from? I've missed some! Dear Yvonne, Bauke and everyone else, Thank you SO much for your care of all the horses and sharing with us. I wish you all the best in the New Year. Cheers!
Risey’s first day at Stal H. Not quite the day we’d all pictured but still a day of you and your wonderful friends & family (special thanks to Pake Sjors) rallying around him. He is home and surrounded by love ❤️ Prayers for his recovery & for some good luck!
Risey's journey is the equivalent of an odyssey. To quote Bauke: "And so the story continues." May that odyssey continue with a much deserving fortune. More prayers for Yvonne and our red headed prince. 🕯
Too add a touch of humour to a sad situation, I just spent 15mins re-reading your comment trying to work out why you put a baby bottle emoji at the end. Had it not been 4.30am here in Australia and if I were a little younger, I would of worked out it was a candle much sooner 🥱😳🙄
Bauke's words "So the story continues" is spot on. It is too bad Risey will probably never be what was planned but as long as he's not in pain I think Yvonne can offer him a comfortable life. He's such a handsome and kind horse, I send all my best wishes to you!
@@kathleenmcdonald6641 They really aren't in much pain due to the Wobbler itself, but they can seriously hurt themselves and everyone around them. Risey doesn't seem to have it too bad, thought. I wouldn't put him out onto the same pasture together with other horses anymore, but looks to me he still has plenty quality of life, if if doesn't get much worse.
Even looking at Rising Star, you could tell he's been through a lot physically and psychologically. Can't imagine he's been at peace in the bachelor herd with his ailment but Stal G was very much his home, so Stal G members & Sjors (the horse) bidding him farewell was bittersweet. The much more cathartic environment of Stal H will benefit him drastically after all his struggles, he's so tall. Also, woah he's stunning.
R@@perce1veALL so right now it's basically a waiting game, to see if it's just the nervous system lagging behind the growth of the remainder of the body? Like in human teenagers that go through fainting spells after massive growth spurts and outgrow it?
Thanks pake Sjors for helping! Last time Risey was on a trailer he was a tiny foal, I don't know if horses can remember that far back? But I'm sure it helped to have an experienced buddy like Sjors coming along for support. Beterschap Risey ❤
Thank you Yvonne for showing Risey and letting us know how your process went from first discovering the problem and then trying to figure out what was wrong. This has been most difficult for you to go through. I hope we can share the burden with you. Risey's life has been exceptional from a miracle baby for Uniek and I keep hoping and praying that he will continue on a miraculous path. Whatever decisions you make for Risey we are there with you--you are very clever and we know you will explore every possibility for Risey and make the best choice. We will support your choice. If you need anything, we are here for you.
this bought tears, moms are intuitive i sense she knows her baby is not well. Animals are not like people they have keen smell and other senses. Thank you for the update and video of the prince and 👑 hopefully calm will come to Risey with his mama
Thank you, Pake Sjors, for accompanying Rising Star to his new home. You helped to make a difficult day a little easier! 🥰❤🐎That's what friends are for!
Thank you for that video. Seeing Risey and knowing he's not okay is so hard, especially when you use the word "Lame"!! Any horse person knows a lame horse is never ever good😢 We love you Risey and Yvonne
Thanks to everyone from Stals for helping get Risey to Stal H safely. I'm sure he enjoyed Yvonne's care and attention everyday and settled in to his new home. 🕯🙏🐴
I could see how Uniek did not want to go into her stall, kept delaying the moment, then when she finally faced Risey , her ears forward..ah a spark of hope? then ears back and as she entered her stall, there was Coralle’s face, eyes wide ‘looking a Queston” at Uniek. and Uniek going right up to her!!, Heads together, Coralle asking “ Sister, who IS that? “ Uniek; “ Can I sleep in your stall tonight?” Well this was the first day , back in august and Yvonne said things would change. Hoping Unielk and Risey are doing well together by now.. Horses really DO think differently than people. Anything new is “scary” until they get used to it, i recall how one time Yvonne was riding in the arena and her horse shied away from a couple of tires lying in the grass., or how restless the herd was the day there were hot air balloons in the sky.
When Risey missteps, say out loud to him, " oh, you silly boy". It helps you be positive and not feel quite as down and conveys to him that you don't find his ailment scary. (So it won't be scary to him) He, of course, picks up on your feelings. Genetic disease is neither of your faults. Repeated enough times it does help both of you!! So so very sorry you are faced with this. But know you both can learn to enjoy this new life. You can overcome the disappointment and grief of what won't be. He can learn to feel safe with your support with how his body functions. The bond you two have for each other will remain. Sharing tears, sending long distance emotional support from the US and hoping for the best.
My heart went out to Yvonne, because she had to make so many important decisions so fast, and then get them done, while filled with concern for Risey. I’m glad she had good helpers, including Pake Sjors, to get Risey to cooperate. That was a beautiful quick moment with Risey and Uniek, at least she didn’t get mad at him, but was very quiet and still. Sending ❤ to all there.
Es ist der richtige Weg , dass Rising Star nach Hause zu Yvonne gekommen ist. Dort wird er zur Ruhe kommen und Yvonne, die eine großartige Pferdekennerin ist, wird für ihn mit ihrer einzigartigen Liebe und Leidenschaft für Pferde, die bestmöglichen Entscheidungen für seine Gesundheit treffen. ❤
I cried for Risey. All I can do is send hugs and scritches to him right now. He looks relaxed and I trust Yvonne to do what is right for him, even if right is very hard. Many thanks to everyone who got him safely home.
Knowing Risey's condition, it was so hard seeing him come off the trailer and turning in his stahl. I just cannot imagine what Yvonne must have thought day after day after seeing him. Now we know exactly what ahe has been going thru. 😢
Risey is always a special horse. He is really comforted with Yvonne brushing him. Just like the video when he was a foal laying on Yvonnes leg in the stall as she sat with him. That was so touching!
Poor Risey, you can see he is not himself and how upset you were Yvonne. I did shed a tear. As you say you can now keep a real eye on him, back at home with you. It is all new and he will adjust. New sights and sounds. The mares coming in certainly got his attention. I am sure all your herd wish him well. Stay positive, sending hugs. xxx
I am going to remain optimistic about Risey’s health. Between Yvonne’s total devotion to her beloved Risey and the excellent care he will receive from top veterinarians, I believe he will recover and have a good life.❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼❤️
Ha ha! I loved Rein's depiction of how Mathilde helped get Risey in the trailer! I found this really hard to watch...how scared RS was to be there, how his health is. Thank you, Yvonne, for loving him so much. 💗💗💗
Oh Risey love welcome home sweet boy and what a precious reunion for the little Royal family I do believe he recognizes his mom and having her close will give him comfort.🥹🌟🐎So glad he’s back with you and always hoping for the best this colt is so beloved and we all are rooting for both of you.
I find it heartbreaking to see Risey struggling to place his hind legs. It must be so confusing for him. Hopefully, given time, he will improve, and Uniek will recognise her young Prince. He is home with his two Mems, Yvonne and Uniek. I will keep thinking positive thoughts . Sarahx
I know that Yvonne has said that horse brains don't work like human brains; that mares don't recognize their older foals. However, I think if there was ever an exception to that rule, it would be Uniek. She is a truly exceptional horse, very wise and perceptive. She is very unique (LOL!). So I think it's absolutely possible that she could recognize Risey.
@@AreYouABadfishToo i saw later videos right before Uniek passed- he is unusually smart & sensitive! He does remember! Lovebug that he is! ⭐️🐎😊🌹🌻💕 Ps: he is such a special horse & what a majestic beauty!
Risey always loved Yvonne’s petting. You can see him relax as she brushes his mane and pats him. I’m sure he’s overwhelmed with everything, but the love and attention he’s getting now will help him feel better. I noticed a window in his stall. Will he be able to look out at the pasture sometimes? Prayers for his body to heal.
@@Taliesin1997 there is a window with wooden shutters on the same wall as the barn door. At least it looks like a window! There’s probably a reason it’s not opened to look out. There’s also a window at the back of his stall that faces the arena.
Yvonne, you made the right choice to bring Risey home. I am grateful your friends and Sjors were able to assist in moving RS. That was a rough day for both of you. You did a good job explaining what was happening and how Risey's breed, and age affected his behavior. He looked a bit haggard at first, but a little grooming revealed the handsome boy we all know and love. Thank you for this video. I know it was not an easy one for you to make. It was not easy one to watch, but I know you love Rising Star and will always do your best for him. I am still sending both of you healing love and light. A big virtual hug for you and Rising Star. 🤗🤗 ❣
Rising Star was so excited for the other horses to come into the stable, he was calling to them! He doesn't like being alone. Uniek was a bit pouty about her new next-door "neighbor." But I know she will get used to him. I'm just so glad Risey is home! ❤
And so it goes, the saga continues. I knew this was coming but it still hurts. I'm sure he's settled in now knowing he's been home for awhile. Always praying for him. I love that boy. ❤
For Risey to be as "wild"as he is having been out in the fields for so long, he was certainly very gentle with Yvonne in his stall! All the horses with Yvonne are so sweet and kind; it must be the love and kindness of their humans that make them this way!
He's always been very gentle towards Yvonne, you can tell that too by how he holds his head lower when he approaches Yvonne at a steady pace. And he seemingly is very protective over her too, he tends to threaten the others when they get close to her.
For an untrained young stallion, he is very sweet and patient. Granted the video didn't show his difficulty getting in the trailer, and he was sedated, but in every video, of all the stallions, he's the most patient and thoughtful and gentle. I'm sorry this is happening to him - he doesn't understand why his circumstances have to change. But he knows and trusts Yvonne, and she understands him very well and is compassionate - it shows in how quickly he calmed down even on the first day after the sedatives wore off. He just wanted to be loved for a little while.
Risey has gotten used to life as a wild horse so of course a stall seems stressful, even a stall that is spacious, full of light, fresh air, and lovely black mares 😊 I know he has medical problems, but I am happy to watch a channel where I know the animals get the very best care possible. 💚💚💚
And now Risey is resting more, so the original injury that may have had a mild infection can (it may do so, though it is slow) heel as it may happen to people too. An old man once said it takes a year to see if those "severe stallion-injuries" are healing. He also told that stallions owned by government (we used to have horses owned by military use) were seldom (like Peter, Risey and R-J) pasture after 2 years old, because they don't play anymore as they do during their first summer. This man was taking care of the young stallions for many summers. I was a child and thought that maybe stallions kick so hard. Now I may have seen why he said that. But he also said that they may become better, so I 🙏 that it will happen to Ricey too. Maybe people are so impatient that is why wobbly horses may be recommended to put to sleep. But we all hope the opposite to Risey. I have been to car accident and had a neck injury and it took over a year to recover, and Yvonne was in severe accident and makes a remarkable recovery, so why Risey can't be better if the spinal-pressure is not too hard. Year is a long time to wait but short if everything goes to better. That old man has seen stallions for years after years, he must know something.
Oh, Risey, you will soon find out what a lucky boy you are-to be at Stal H getting all the love and best care possible from Yvonne and with your mem and new herd. Whatever lies ahead, you will be pampered and cherished. 🥰❤️
Sad to see Rising Star not coming to you right away. It is a prey animal behaviour. I had similar problem with my budgie when she was sick. It was a struggle to catch her and help her. The screams were included too. Thankfully you managed to get him.❤❤❤❤❤❤
That was a tough day for Risey (and Yvonne), but all the adults and Pac Sjors helped him and he settled well at Stal H. He clearly loves and trusts Yvonne. Love and prayers for Risey. ❤
You’ve had so much to overcome with your accident and now Risey. We’re praying he survives this as well as you did your accident. It was great to see Bpss Rein helping you with Risey, he’s been there for you always, maybe he’ll be your good luck 🍀 charm.
Who didn't shed a tear for risey and Yvonne and team, so many hopes and dreams for RS and you know sometimes dreams do come true ❤keep praying 🙏 everyone, so glad he is with Yvonne, the whole situation is just so sad 😢😢😢😢
Thank you, Yvonne, for finally showing us Rising Star and his journey to Stal H. This was filmed in August. I wonder how he is now in December. He is so beautiful.

So sad to see Risey in this condition. From happy and sweet to just looking so sad and worried. I am so sorry Yvonne, this must be heart breaking for you. Poor Risey. I am sure whatever the outcome, you took good care of him and made him feel safe and loved coming home to you. The absolute best place for him to bee. I hope for a miracle. He is such a beautiful horse, and so loved by so many. Bless him, bless you.
Poor Risey. He can't understand. He lost his home, he lost his friends and he is sad. It needs a lot of time to know his new home, his new friends an all help for his illness. So many people are thinking of him.
Oh Yvonne, I cried so hard for Risey. I hope with all my heart that he gets better and will be able to run in the pasture with the herd. He is so loved and sweet. Kisses and scratches for Risey.
Poor RS. He looks very unsure of everything happening around him, but he will adjust quickly. Thanks for taking Sjors with him for the trailer ride. It helps to have a friend when you are doing something you are not sure of. The journey does, indeed, continue!
This is a good decision to bring Risey to your great care Yvonne, and give him his own space and safe from falling amongst the other horses.Also handling him safely in the barn and stall from tripping or falling against his humans .
I am confident rising star will blend in with her new herd just fine....and probably has by now .....as long as horses do not feel like they are in danger ....have plenty of hay or grass and are near other horses and as a bonus get human love like yvonne will give they are very content....as yvonne says horses do not think like humans
That was a very tough day for Risey and Yvonne, back in August🥹🧡 Kudos to all the friends who helped so willingly to bring Risey home❤️ Now you get all the love and help you need, dear Rising Star. My continued well wishes and prayers for Risey and Yvonne❤️❤️❤️
When Risey didn’t come to you in the field you knew something was wrong! He is with you now and will get all the loving care he needs! Hoping for a miracle or misdiagnosis! We know you will do the best for him and we support you no matter what! 🙏 🙏🐎🐎❤❤❤❤❤❤
Risey is confused, this is normal. He has lived so long on stall G, He is a fighter and will get healthy..he just needs time and a lot of love what he will get from Yvonne. Having him there will make it easier for Yvonne to spend more time with him and have him more controlled. He is such a sweetie,
Risey looks so stressed. He will come back around to his beautiful self very soon. You provide such excellent care to all your horses. Much love and respect from my little corner of the world.
Emotional video with Risey. Yvonne’s tender love and care obviously makes his transition easier, I have no doubt you and your loving team and family will help him feel loved and healthy. You guys are the best!!!
So good to see Rising Star at Stal H. He will adjust and move beyond the first day jitters. Yvonne, I know you can care for him better there. Sending love and prayers to you both. ❤
Seeing Risey in the condition he is in just breaks my heart! This poor colt has had enough misfortunes and doesn’t need anymore just you don’t need anymore Yvonne, I am so sorry about everything that happened. First RS’s mother died when she gave birth to him and then came the wobbler syndrome and now all this, I truly hope and pray that RS will make a full recovery because it would be an absolutely tragedy if he didn’t and I am so glad that he is with you now at Stall H which is where he belongs. Sending best wishes and prayers your way 😔🙏🏻❤️
*THIS IS HORSE LIFE, ALWAYS SOMETHING!* & Perhaps the slower pace at Stal H will support him as he learns and heals. Though difficult, it was good to see Risey! 🐴❤️🙏💞🐎
Thank you Yvonne. Though heart breaking to see our Risey in distress, I think this is the video we've all been waiting for. He's home with Yvonne and family where he needs to be. Continued for prayers for Risey and you, Yvonne.💙💫🙏🏻🙌💙. Big hugs from France
Yvonne has a great respect for colts, despite their macho troubles, her"HEY BOY" TO ALL THE YOUNG STALLIONS SPEAKS TO HER GENTLE CONSIDERATION for COLTS! a RARITY IN THE HORSE WORLD.
I can imagine Rising Star wonders where his small herd has gone. I'm glad you had Sjors ride over with him to help calm him. Too bad Stal H is just a little to small to have kept Sjors there for a few days to reassure your boy. It certainly was a real group effort to get him from the pasture and over to your place. You know what is proper in caring for him. It is just so sad that his birth mother died so tragically and now his life is in the balance. Hopefully there will be grace given to Rising Star.
It's heartbreaking enough to see this happening to Rising Star, who is Not my horse. I cannot imagine how hard it has been for you. Even though I knew he would settle down quickly at stal H, it was also very hard to see him so rough when he was put in the stable. He's always been such a happy horse. And while some of it was the sedation, he obviously wasn't feeling well. Animals hide sickness and injury to keep predators away, so him not wanting to come out of the pasture was just par for the course. On one hand I am glad to be seeing Risey more now that he has been moved in the video timeline. I am just so so sorry about why it was necessary. I hope he is still stable, from what you said in a previous video, and that his wobblers can be turned around! Thank-you for sharing this! Continued good energy for all of you.
Rising Star is a beautiful animal. I think keeping him stalled is a good idea for a while. He is still growing. Hopefully he may outgrow the wobblers symptoms.
Kiki sensed something was wrong and went to Risey immediately. Much love to you all and only good thoughts for Risey and for you Yvonne and Bauke. 🤗🤗🤗❤🧡💚💙💜
Risey is now where he should be,home! He'll be fine when he settles in, he has everyone he loves there. Yvonne you're doing the right thing. And with your personal loving care , He'll get along just fine😊
Dear Risey you have turned into a beautiful horse, I hope you will better soon. Thanks to everyone for their support in getting you to your new home and especially to Yvonne for taking such loving care of you ❤
Thank you for this video, Yvonne! Nature writes your scriptbook and there are going to be tough parts. Good to see Risey at your place, this feels comforting. My thoughts are with you! 🍀❤
It must be hard reliving this moment when you were editing this video, Yvonne. A year ago, I was looking forward to the reunion of Rising Star and Uniek at Stal H but didn't dream it would be under these circumstances. 😢 Continued prayers for Risey's healing.
Rising star will ALWAYS be a star. Hes a special horse. When our children are born with a disability we love them the same and give them what they need to live life to the fullest, we don't discard them (well most of us anyway) and the same should be with our beloved animals as well. I will always love Rising star. ❤️
Omg it was so traumatic to see our beautiful Rising Star so unwell and especially with the blood on his nose and his legs unsteady completely heartbreaking scene 💔😢 Sending continuous healing to the beautiful boy that he regains strength and heals ❤️💫🧡🙏🏻
Thank you so much for filming although you have so much to do and thank you for showing us the difficult, hard work situations with Risey. Knowing that he is now happily standing in his box , enjoying life at stal H. and not getting worse is a great relief ❣
I'm so thankful that Sjors could be an emotional support to Risey during the transport and transition to Stal H. What a very difficult day that was for him and you, Yvonne. I'm glad that you have such supportive and helpful friends, too! 🤗❤
Yvonne my prayers are with you and Rising Star, I had started watching your channel just weeks before Risey was sent to you and so began the love affair with the little red headed stranger that stole our hearts. He is home again and Queen Uniek will come around she senses something is going on with him. I’m praying for you all and I hope it all is good news from now forward, hugs and love to all, here’s to a brighter healthier 2024!
That's so clear too. He takes one glance at Yvonne and shifts his demeanor into a more reasonable behaviour, a "great bond" would not even be enough to describe what they have.
I enjoy seeing Risey at “home” He’s a beautiful horse with lots of personality!! I am praying for wisdom for Yvonne and the best of health for Risey!! ❤
I shed a tear seeing the heartbreaker beauty Rising Star has become, not the circumstance any of us would have wanted him to arrive at Stal H but it is good to finally see him where he belongs.
I did to through the whole video 😢
Dont beat yourself up Yvomne.. just shower Risey with love and care

Hard to see Yvonne trying to prevent herself from breaking into tears.
you are right
I thought that too. Yvonne is a very strong woman, indeed! God be with her and her family/friends/horses 🙏
Yes, it was very hard. Yvonne has a lot of resilience, which will help her during this time.

Risey is always a special horse. He is really comforted with Yvonne brushing him. Just like the video when he was a foal laying on Yvonnes leg in the stall as she sat with him. That was so touching!
I got tears in my eyes when Uniek was nose to nose with Risey. I'm still praying for Risey. Sending hugs and love to you Yvonne. 💙💙💙
Poor Risey, you can see he is not himself and how upset you were Yvonne. I did shed a tear. As you say you can now keep a real eye on him, back at home with you. It is all new and he will adjust. New sights and sounds. The mares coming in certainly got his attention. I am sure all your herd wish him well. Stay positive, sending hugs. xxx
I am going to remain optimistic about Risey’s health. Between Yvonne’s total devotion to her beloved Risey and the excellent care he will receive from top veterinarians, I believe he will recover and have a good life.❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼❤️
Goedzo!
I tend towards the same belief...Risy will.heal!
There are thousands of fans of this channel that are praying 🙏 for the healing of Rising Star 🌟 including me. I believe he will improve.
Ha ha! I loved Rein's depiction of how Mathilde helped get Risey in the trailer! I found this really hard to watch...how scared RS was to be there, how his health is. Thank you, Yvonne, for loving him so much. 💗💗💗
This video makes me sad. Since she mentions a warm day …..makes me think not recorded today - it is December 2023

Oh Risey love welcome home sweet boy and what a precious reunion for the little Royal family I do believe he recognizes his mom and having her close will give him comfort.🥹🌟🐎So glad he’s back with you and always hoping for the best this colt is so beloved and we all are rooting for both of you.
Risey has always loved Yvonne. ❤😊 He is home with his mem and in the best hands possible.
❤❤
I find it heartbreaking to see Risey struggling to place his hind legs. It must be so confusing for him. Hopefully, given time, he will improve, and Uniek will recognise her young Prince. He is home with his two Mems, Yvonne and Uniek. I will keep thinking positive thoughts . Sarahx
I know that Yvonne has said that horse brains don't work like human brains; that mares don't recognize their older foals.
However, I think if there was ever an exception to that rule, it would be Uniek. She is a truly exceptional horse, very wise and perceptive. She is very unique (LOL!). So I think it's absolutely possible that she could recognize Risey.
@@AreYouABadfishToo i saw later videos right before Uniek passed- he is unusually smart & sensitive! He does remember! Lovebug that he is! ⭐️🐎😊🌹🌻💕
Ps: he is such a special horse & what a majestic beauty!

Risey always loved Yvonne’s petting. You can see him relax as she brushes his mane and pats him. I’m sure he’s overwhelmed with everything, but the love and attention he’s getting now will help him feel better. I noticed a window in his stall. Will he be able to look out at the pasture sometimes? Prayers for his body to heal.
I think the window looks out at the outdoor riding arena.
@@Taliesin1997 there is a window with wooden shutters on the same wall as the barn door. At least it looks like a window! There’s probably a reason it’s not opened to look out. There’s also a window at the back of his stall that faces the arena.
Yvonne, you made the right choice to bring Risey home. I am grateful your friends and Sjors were able to assist in moving RS. That was a rough day for both of you. You did a good job explaining what was happening and how Risey's breed, and age affected his behavior. He looked a bit haggard at first, but a little grooming revealed the handsome boy we all know and love. Thank you for this video. I know it was not an easy one for you to make. It was not easy one to watch, but I know you love Rising Star and will always do your best for him. I am still sending both of you healing love and light. A big virtual hug for you and Rising Star. 🤗🤗 ❣

Very sweet message. ❤
Rising Star was so excited for the other horses to come into the stable, he was calling to them! He doesn't like being alone. Uniek was a bit pouty about her new next-door "neighbor." But I know she will get used to him. I'm just so glad Risey is home! ❤
Is it possible that the smell of blood on Risey's nose put Uniek off?
And so it goes, the saga continues. I knew this was coming but it still hurts. I'm sure he's settled in now knowing he's been home for awhile. Always praying for him. I love that boy. ❤
Seeing Risey so unstable due to wobblers is heartbreaking
For Risey to be as "wild"as he is having been out in the fields for so long, he was certainly very gentle with Yvonne in his stall! All the horses with Yvonne are so sweet and kind; it must be the love and kindness of their humans that make them this way!
He's always been very gentle towards Yvonne, you can tell that too by how he holds his head lower when he approaches Yvonne at a steady pace.
And he seemingly is very protective over her too, he tends to threaten the others when they get close to her.
Wonderful to see Risey and know he's at your place getting extra love and care! ❤️
For an untrained young stallion, he is very sweet and patient. Granted the video didn't show his difficulty getting in the trailer, and he was sedated, but in every video, of all the stallions, he's the most patient and thoughtful and gentle. I'm sorry this is happening to him - he doesn't understand why his circumstances have to change. But he knows and trusts Yvonne, and she understands him very well and is compassionate - it shows in how quickly he calmed down even on the first day after the sedatives wore off. He just wanted to be loved for a little while.
❤❤
With mem 👑Uniek by his side, hopefully Risey will recover soon as usual 👍🤲
💖🐎💖
Risey has gotten used to life as a wild horse so of course a stall seems stressful, even a stall that is spacious, full of light, fresh air, and lovely black mares 😊 I know he has medical problems, but I am happy to watch a channel where I know the animals get the very best care possible. 💚💚💚
Ditto!
And now Risey is resting more, so the original injury that may have had a mild infection can (it may do so, though it is slow) heel as it may happen to people too. An old man once said it takes a year to see if those "severe stallion-injuries" are healing. He also told that stallions owned by government (we used to have horses owned by military use) were seldom (like Peter, Risey and R-J) pasture after 2 years old, because they don't play anymore as they do during their first summer. This man was taking care of the young stallions for many summers. I was a child and thought that maybe stallions kick so hard. Now I may have seen why he said that. But he also said that they may become better, so I 🙏 that it will happen to Ricey too. Maybe people are so impatient that is why wobbly horses may be recommended to put to sleep. But we all hope the opposite to Risey. I have been to car accident and had a neck injury and it took over a year to recover, and Yvonne was in severe accident and makes a remarkable recovery, so why Risey can't be better if the spinal-pressure is not too hard. Year is a long time to wait but short if everything goes to better. That old man has seen stallions for years after years, he must know something.
@@hannikulju9990 I liked this....old men have seen much, learned much....

Oh, Risey, you will soon find out what a lucky boy you are-to be at Stal H getting all the love and best care possible from Yvonne and with your mem and new herd. Whatever lies ahead, you will be pampered and cherished. 🥰❤️
Sad to see Rising Star not coming to you right away. It is a prey animal behaviour. I had similar problem with my budgie when she was sick. It was a struggle to catch her and help her. The screams were included too. Thankfully you managed to get him.❤❤❤❤❤❤
Here is praying that 2024 is a great year for Rising Star. 😊😊😊😊
That was a tough day for Risey (and Yvonne), but all the adults and Pac Sjors helped him and he settled well at Stal H. He clearly loves and trusts Yvonne. Love and prayers for Risey. ❤
You’ve had so much to overcome with your accident and now Risey. We’re praying he survives this as well as you did your accident. It was great to see Bpss Rein helping you with Risey, he’s been there for you always, maybe he’ll be your good luck 🍀 charm.
All the friends from stal G make a great team! Thanks to all of you working together to help Risey.
So happy to see Risey back with you and his Mom Uniek! I have hope he will improve and grow strong again! 🤞🏼🤞🏼❤️❤️
No matter the circumstances, it’s good to have Risey at Stal H with Yvonne. 🙏♥️
Who didn't shed a tear for risey and Yvonne and team, so many hopes and dreams for RS and you know sometimes dreams do come true ❤keep praying 🙏 everyone, so glad he is with Yvonne, the whole situation is just so sad 😢😢😢😢
❤️❤️
Thank you, Yvonne, for finally showing us Rising Star and his journey to Stal H. This was filmed in August. I wonder how he is now in December. He is so beautiful.
Yvonne gave the last short update several days ago (December 23). His Wobbler hasn't gotten much better, but it hasn't gotten worse either🧡

You can see a more recent photo of Risey in the Community section. He looks way better, even if he isn't healed from his condition...
What is the Community section?

So sad to see Risey in this condition. From happy and sweet to just looking so sad and worried. I am so sorry Yvonne, this must be heart breaking for you. Poor Risey. I am sure whatever the outcome, you took good care of him and made him feel safe and loved coming home to you. The absolute best place for him to bee. I hope for a miracle. He is such a beautiful horse, and so loved by so many. Bless him, bless you.
Totaly agree
Poor Risey. He can't understand. He lost his home, he lost his friends and he is sad. It needs a lot of time to know his new home, his new friends an all help for his illness. So many people are thinking of him.
Oh Yvonne, I cried so hard for Risey. I hope with all my heart that he gets better and will be able to run in the pasture with the herd. He is so loved and sweet. Kisses and scratches for Risey.
Thank you Yvonne for the video today 😊♥️. Praying and never ceasing for you, your family, and Risey 🙏✝️🕊️.
Thank you, Catherine! 😊
Thank you, Catherine ❤️🌷

Thank you, Catherine!
You are a gem Catherine!🥰💎🥰
Poor RS. He looks very unsure of everything happening around him, but he will adjust quickly. Thanks for taking Sjors with him for the trailer ride. It helps to have a friend when you are doing something you are not sure of. The journey does, indeed, continue!
Best wishes to Risey. Being near mom Uniek, as well as aunties Saly and Reintje may help.
This is a good decision to bring Risey to your great care Yvonne, and give him his own space and safe from falling amongst the other horses.Also handling him safely in the barn and stall from tripping or falling against his humans .
I am confident rising star will blend in with her new herd just fine....and probably has by now .....as long as horses do not feel like they are in danger ....have plenty of hay or grass and are near other horses and as a bonus get human love like yvonne will give they are very content....as yvonne says horses do not think like humans
I believe it will be so....thanks Greg!
That was a very tough day for Risey and Yvonne, back in August🥹🧡
Kudos to all the friends who helped so willingly to bring Risey home❤️
Now you get all the love and help you need, dear Rising Star.
My continued well wishes and prayers for Risey and Yvonne❤️❤️❤️
❤❤
The support is amazing.....
Leisje.

When Risey didn’t come to you in the field you knew something was wrong! He is with you now and will get all the loving care he needs! Hoping for a miracle or misdiagnosis! We know you will do the best for him and we support you no matter what! 🙏 🙏🐎🐎❤❤❤❤❤❤
Love at EVERY sight, for me. Always. Praying for a good outcome for Risey.
Risey is confused, this is normal. He has lived so long on stall G, He is a fighter and will get healthy..he just needs time and a lot of love what he will get from Yvonne. Having him there will make it easier for Yvonne to spend more time with him and have him more controlled. He is such a sweetie,
Although this was hard to watch I'm so glad you put this video on RUclips Yvonne. Continuing prayer for Risey & you Yvonne. 🙏🐴🐎♥️
Risey looks so stressed. He will come back around to his beautiful self very soon. You provide such excellent care to all your horses. Much love and respect from my little corner of the world.
Emotional video with Risey. Yvonne’s tender love and care obviously makes his transition easier, I have no doubt you and your loving team and family will help him feel loved and healthy. You guys are the best!!!
I am praying for complete and total healing of Rising Star. God loves him and He loves you too, Yvonne!
Bauke said it best, " And so the story continues..." While this was hard to watch, I'm glad Risey is at Stal H with Yvonne and Uniek.
🧡🧡

Risey is stunning, prayers that his condition improves ❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼
So good to see Rising Star at Stal H. He will adjust and move beyond the first day jitters. Yvonne, I know you can care for him better there. Sending love and prayers to you both. ❤
Seeing Risey in the condition he is in just breaks my heart! This poor colt has had enough misfortunes and doesn’t need anymore just you don’t need anymore Yvonne, I am so sorry about everything that happened. First RS’s mother died when she gave birth to him and then came the wobbler syndrome and now all this, I truly hope and pray that RS will make a full recovery because it would be an absolutely tragedy if he didn’t and I am so glad that he is with you now at Stall H which is where he belongs. Sending best wishes and prayers your way 😔🙏🏻❤️
*THIS IS HORSE LIFE, ALWAYS SOMETHING!* & Perhaps the slower pace at Stal H will support him as he learns and heals. Though difficult, it was good to see Risey! 🐴❤️🙏💞🐎
Thank you very much! 😊
very kind of you
Thank you so much!
Thank you, Lulu ❤️🌷

Really broke into tears seeing Risey struggle. He's in the best place at Stal H
Thank you Yvonne. Though heart breaking to see our Risey in distress, I think this is the video we've all been waiting for. He's home with Yvonne and family where he needs to be. Continued for prayers for Risey and you, Yvonne.💙💫🙏🏻🙌💙. Big hugs from France
Yvonne has a great respect for colts, despite their macho troubles, her"HEY BOY" TO ALL THE YOUNG STALLIONS SPEAKS TO HER GENTLE CONSIDERATION for COLTS! a RARITY IN THE HORSE WORLD.
Rising Star we ALL still love you, you handsome wobbly fellow! Get better soon!
I can imagine Rising Star wonders where his small herd has gone. I'm glad you had Sjors ride over with him to help calm him. Too bad Stal H is just a little to small to have kept Sjors there for a few days to reassure your boy. It certainly was a real group effort to get him from the pasture and over to your place. You know what is proper in caring for him. It is just so sad that his birth mother died so tragically and now his life is in the balance. Hopefully there will be grace given to Rising Star.
Poor Risey, you could see his hind legs were not right. Big changes for him but he is in the best place ❤
It's heartbreaking enough to see this happening to Rising Star, who is Not my horse. I cannot imagine how hard it has been for you. Even though I knew he would settle down quickly at stal H, it was also very hard to see him so rough when he was put in the stable. He's always been such a happy horse. And while some of it was the sedation, he obviously wasn't feeling well. Animals hide sickness and injury to keep predators away, so him not wanting to come out of the pasture was just par for the course. On one hand I am glad to be seeing Risey more now that he has been moved in the video timeline. I am just so so sorry about why it was necessary. I hope he is still stable, from what you said in a previous video, and that his wobblers can be turned around! Thank-you for sharing this! Continued good energy for all of you.
❤❤
What a wise and sensible comment.
In complete agreement...
It's good to see the Rising Star, even if he is on a scary life path...❤❤❤
Risey is in the right place, I'm glad you have him back home. Your love ant attention is what he needs now. I hope Uniek is nice to him soon!
Rising Star is a beautiful animal. I think keeping him stalled is a good idea for a while. He is still growing. Hopefully he may outgrow the wobblers symptoms.
Kiki sensed something was wrong and went to Risey immediately. Much love to you all and only good thoughts for Risey and for you Yvonne and Bauke. 🤗🤗🤗❤🧡💚💙💜
Don't lose hope, Yvonne! Risey will get there and heal. He just needs some time and to take it step by step. You're doing everything good to help him!
Sweet Risey....it must be so confusing but you are exactly where you need to be. Much love to you and our dear Yvonne.
Yep!
You can see it in his eyes...😥
Risey is now where he should be,home! He'll be fine when he settles in, he has everyone he loves there. Yvonne you're doing the right thing. And with your personal loving care , He'll get along just fine😊
Dear Risey you have turned into a beautiful horse, I hope you will better soon. Thanks to everyone for their support in getting you to your new home and especially to Yvonne for taking such loving care of you ❤
Rising Star will get so much love from Yvonne, Bauke, the boys and all the people at Stal H. We are praying thar RS has a lovely life.❤️🙏
Thank you for this video, Yvonne! Nature writes your scriptbook and there are going to be tough parts. Good to see Risey at your place, this feels comforting. My thoughts are with you! 🍀❤

It must be hard reliving this moment when you were editing this video, Yvonne. A year ago, I was looking forward to the reunion of Rising Star and Uniek at Stal H but didn't dream it would be under these circumstances. 😢 Continued prayers for Risey's healing.
POSITIVE THOUGHTS ONLY. He is in the best of hands. He WILL pull through.
❤❤
That' s right...staying positive.
Rising Star will always have a special place in our hearts.
Rising star will ALWAYS be a star. Hes a special horse. When our children are born with a disability we love them the same and give them what they need to live life to the fullest, we don't discard them (well most of us anyway) and the same should be with our beloved animals as well. I will always love Rising star. ❤️
Omg it was so traumatic to see our beautiful Rising Star so unwell and especially with the blood on his nose and his legs unsteady completely heartbreaking scene 💔😢 Sending continuous healing to the beautiful boy that he regains strength and heals ❤️💫🧡🙏🏻
Thank you so much for filming although you have so much to do and thank you for showing us the difficult, hard work situations with Risey. Knowing that he is now happily standing in his box , enjoying life at stal H. and not getting worse is a great relief ❣
I'm so thankful that Sjors could be an emotional support to Risey during the transport and transition to Stal H. What a very difficult day that was for him and you, Yvonne. I'm glad that you have such supportive and helpful friends, too! 🤗❤
♥♥ What a great community!
Yvonne my prayers are with you and Rising Star, I had started watching your channel just weeks before Risey was sent to you and so began the love affair with the little red headed stranger that stole our hearts. He is home again and Queen Uniek will come around she senses something is going on with him. I’m praying for you all and I hope it all is good news from now forward, hugs and love to all, here’s to a brighter healthier 2024!
Oh what a beautiful boy Risey is. I feel better knowing that he's at home with you looking after him, our thoughts are always with you ❤️
Much love for Risey and healing❤❤
Like so many others, knowing what we know about Risey's condition now, it is heartbreaking to see Yvonne & Risey in this video.
Yes, it made my heart ache.
Loving thoughts to all the horses. What a struggle for Risey. Uniek is such a powerful calming influence for all of the horses.
Good old Sjors! May Risey follow in his hoof prints and become a venerable old Pake like him!❤
He's relaxed because of you....only you!!!
That's so clear too.
He takes one glance at Yvonne and shifts his demeanor into a more reasonable behaviour, a "great bond" would not even be enough to describe what they have.
I agree
Ach Rising Star 🥲🫠🫠❤️🍀🍀🍀🍀Er ist so wunderschön. Bauke hat recht es geht weiter.🙏🙏🙏dass Wir dabei sein dürfen❤❤🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
I enjoy seeing Risey at “home” He’s a beautiful horse with lots of personality!! I am praying for wisdom for Yvonne and the best of health for Risey!! ❤
