My late husband would tell me that he always knew if I’d had a good ride from my attitude and demeanor when I got home. I’m thinking you had that same good feeling after this ride and it showed ✨
Thank you for taking me with you out on this trip! Lovely, remember how it was....And I love how your voice also is a tool in your trip...Once in my life I will find such a good friend that you ride here:) Such good horsemanship and such a listening horse.....
He is raring to go. He's ready to fly Like the Wind. I can just feel the wind on my face and my hair blowing in the wind and my heart is beating faster with excitement!!
Wow, that WAS a great ride!!! I haven’t done that since my fox hunting days, and that was before I had children!!!!!! My children are now 36 and 40 years old!!! I better get going again!!!!!! 🤣👍❤️
He seemed a little put out at first with the horses being in front of him. Those ears laid back he almost was saying move out of my way. Great event and looks so fun.
Flufferz626 Yes, I have found the bigger they are, the more laidback they are (generally). I often rode a Morgan cross mare with the loveliest gaits, but she had a nasty attitude.
Great countryside for riding, lots of fields to canter in. Apollo lets other horses go in front, because he knows he can take em anytime. Lol. Bless him.
Ah Tara......just looking back at the times I helped to exercise the horses of my late husband's cavalry regiment on the tank ranges......they too were huge.....and they knew it. I can understand the thrill of 'freedom rides'......it's like flying with a companion, horses can be great company. They like praise and thrive on it. I just love your videos........look forward to part two.🎇
Another wonderful ride on Apollo - such a treat to feel like I'm riding with you! He's got such a great canter and eats up the ground - you must love riding him Tara! Thanks for sharing this vlog, lots of love from Liz xxx 🐴💜
Horsemanship at its finest! You did so many things to comfort and control your horse, like placing your hand on him when the trailers went past your trailer. 🐴💕
I enjoyed this immensely. I also cried. How I miss my dear Rocky. He liked nothing more than exploring new trails. He died at 33 yrs. old and we had him since he was 3. Probably never ride again but this really warmed my heart. Your horse's ear positions show he is listening to you at all times. What a great partnership. Best wishes to you both. Love from the US. 😍
@@Tara101 I know. I am so grateful to have had him for so long. He was surely one of a kind as well. Quite a few people wanted to buy him from us--but no money in the world would entice us to sell him.
@@Tara101 I would have stayed behind those two also, they looked like steady guys and your horse was rated into a nice canter due to their restraint. Nice job, I do not have such lovely fields to canter around, all I get is a ring. I really think you are lucky to have a great place like that to ride around on. Nice! :)
Oh thank you!✨truly... for allowing me to join Yu on your ride about there. I havnt been able to ride since my stroke Drs oders Yu know' So I enjoyed the camera very much' it Made me feel like I was right there with you!✨😁🙌 God bless you!✨ I hope you do more videos like this🍀🍃😁
This reminds me of my younger days riding my horse in the country. They are some of my best memories. I’d love to get back in the saddle, but would probably need a few lessons and a geriatric horse!! I don’t think I’d be able to handle one such as Apollo. I can only aspire to ride half as well as you Tara. Apollo is absolutely gorgeous. Love your videos. .
Hudson1910 the barn my horse is boarded at has a geriatric Hanoverian as well!! Trinity is such a sweet old girl...I always have to give her a quick hug 🤗 those old pros are often as good of a teacher as the instructor 😄
What a lovely video I felt like I was riding the horse I used to ride alot when I was younger but due to ill health I can't anymore so this is the next best thing, your horse is lovely and such a good boy, thanks for sharing this you both looked as though you had a great ride.
Yippee we get to go for another ride I love this the only thing that would make it completely perfect is to absolutely be there to enjoy the ride and to actually ride one of these magnificent beautiful horses and enjoy being with them and to see all of the scenery around you. you're so blessed.
Wow Tara, I had no idea what a workout the rider gets! I'd love to learn to ride, but I think I'd start my horse education in the stable. First learning how to care for a horse, and then dare to ride such a beautiful creature.😍
Thanks for taking me with you on your ride. I love the way you talk to him and I always do that as well with horses I ride, but your voice is so soothing it even calms me 🤣. He seems to never tire of the canter - like he could go on forever. What a wonderful boy you have!
How Wonderful 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽I’ve not been on a horse for decades now and I yearn to be. Must be exhilarating on such a regal mount. Such a fantastic perspective. I can only dream of riding now. Hit by a car has caused permanent damage to my spine countless surgeries I can no longer ride. Sharing this make me feel like I am riding again. I Thank You 🙏🏽 Very Much❤️🌹❣️
Can't ride atm but this gives me the feel of it. Thank you. The Appendix Quarter Horse gelding I used to ride (RIP Deke) would always slow down near gates like this boy.
Lovely canters there Tara and I noticed after the last canter he had his head down to stretch and relax. He was a good sport to let the other two go ahead of him for a change!!! 😂
Loved that. I never get tired of the sound of horses hooves hitting the ground on the canter. Being from England, now living in the US I can’t believe you’re getting so much good weather. Here in Louisiana it feels like it hasn’t stopped raining ! Thanks for the ride Tara.
Actually I’m in the middle of the State and there isn’t too much going on. I’m hoping to relocate to New Mexico with my horses where the weather is supposed to be good for riding year round and the landscapes are phenomenal. It’s my dream to have a place where people can come and stay with their horses and ride out from the property onto state park trails. If/when I get it worked out I’ll send you an invite. 😁
Understand. We do it here by removing a bit of the top hairs and “cleaning out” the hollows above their hoofs but keep the beautifull frill around the lower legs. They are Frisians after all
What a beautiful ride. I would love to do that with mine. I will soon though. Can't wait to get back in the saddle!! As always your videos are simply wonderful. ❤
Your horse is absolutely stunning and beautiful! I’ve always dreamed of getting a fresian like that! Your so lucky! Horses are just so expensive....😭 anyways she/he is a beautiful horse and I know you both have a bright future together!
Tara, I really like the horse “ box” you have. I have never seen one before & think it’s prefect for your horses. I could never learn to drive a trailer . I don’t think they have them in US? I have been watching the videos from the oldest tonight. It’s very exciting to watch how you train & how gentle you are . I didn’t get what happened to the first Friesian , but I am glad you have Apollo. You and Rens work so hard to make such a comfortable place to the horses. They are so lucky to have you and Rens to love and care for them. Once I asked you several months ago about the other Arab. that you took back. From what I read today, Rens was saying you got a lot or unpleasant mail from some trolls. He had deleted them,. You know there’s always someone that thinks they know more about what and how you should do something differently. I really enjoy your. Videos! I’m 70 and never had a horse so I’m kind of living through you and you family. I was wondering, is Bella going to be your horse or Rens, or maybe Steve’s? When will she be old enough to ride? I was thinking 3-4 yrs old? But I don’t know. She is such a cute little girl. I think she likes being the only girl so she can play with her two “ brothers” taking turns trying to get them to play. Sincerely Jean Colegrove TTFN ✌🏼
Practice a lot in the canter and slow him down till he back to a trot then immediately ask again for the canter. He will learn a slow canter its like floating so nice.
What a treat to watch you two out riding. I have not been able to ride for a few year's due to ill health. Miss it so much. But felt i was out riding with you. What an amazing bond you have with your beautiful boy. Horsemanship at its best. I backed and schooled my first horse at 3. And that close bond and trust and talking to your horse I totally get as I am the same. You can train any horse to work off the spoken word. If yoy are skilled enough. Instead of pulling thier mouth's and sqeezing thuer ribs. So much nicer for the horse. Who trusts and understands his rider. What a beautiful horse you have my lovely. I am 60. And I am never giving up riding. After all the Queen still rides at 92..Bless her.. Thank you for making this vidio. I do love friesian horses..But they do seem a bit of a handful at times. According to a friend who owns 2 of these black beauties. Stunning horses..Lucky you. Xxxxx
Tara no wonder the friesian is the War Horse of horses and never afraid of being up front really love and safe rides from your Friesian rider Down Under
Horses don't like getting left behind. Mine always speeds up like that then wants to take the lead (ex-racer). There's nothing like the feeling of cantering on a horse with a nice gait.
Fantastic video and what an awesome horse i just love the way you give him confidence with your talking to him,dont see enough of this Well done you (why are those two ladies not talking to you not very sociable of them )!!!
My late husband would tell me that he always knew if I’d had a good ride from my attitude and demeanor when I got home. I’m thinking you had that same good feeling after this ride and it showed ✨
This is exactly why at age 65 I started riding lessons. Your ride today is my goal! Fabulous horse and the BEST countryside! Thank You from USA!!!
thank you for the nice comment
I loved whaching you talking with youre horse i can just see the bond and he is stunning
👍💚❤️💛💜
Thank you for taking me with you out on this trip! Lovely, remember how it was....And I love how your voice also is a tool in your trip...Once in my life I will find such a good friend that you ride here:) Such good horsemanship and such a listening horse.....
I love to “ride along” with you and your beautiful horse. I love your voice and the way you always talk to him ❤️
great to hear this 😊👍
I haven't ridden in many years, and you made me feel as though I were riding again! Such a beautiful horse; and he knows it! Everyone had a good time.
good to here👍
I felt the same way. It's been years since I rode also.
I love the way you talk to him all the time. He's listening all the time.
Such a majestic horse. He's a beauty. 💟🌹💟
He is raring to go. He's ready to fly Like the Wind. I can just feel the wind on my face and my hair blowing in the wind and my heart is beating faster with excitement!!
great!
He came out of the trailer and all the other horses said " how can we compete with that!" He's absolutely stunning!!!!
lol😊
Wow, that WAS a great ride!!! I haven’t done that since my fox hunting days, and that was before I had children!!!!!! My children are now 36 and 40 years old!!! I better get going again!!!!!! 🤣👍❤️
I love friesian horses they are the best in the world beautiful horses ❤️❤️❤️❤️
That was fun! Thank you for sharing. This takes me back to childhood, so many lovely memories. Thank you, thank you.
He seemed a little put out at first with the horses being in front of him. Those ears laid back he almost was saying move out of my way. Great event and looks so fun.
That's a lot horse for any person to be training/riding. You have my greatest respect.
that's very nice of you Dave
@@Tara101 smaller horses always gave me way more sass!
Flufferz626 Yes, I have found the bigger they are, the more laidback they are (generally). I often rode a Morgan cross mare with the loveliest gaits, but she had a nasty attitude.
He is so excited. Can't wait to go. Love it. Thank you.
Falling asleep to the beautiful sound of hooves clippity clopping
I've watched this a second time...he really does trust you ... nicely done
thank you
This video was wonderful, thank you for it! I felt as if I was riding! How exciting. 💚
So enjoyed that ride there is nothing better in the world than being on the back of a horse and Apollo is the perfect horse who proves it!!!
Great countryside for riding, lots of fields to canter in. Apollo lets other horses go in front, because he knows he can take em anytime. Lol. Bless him.
lol x
Your are doing wonderful with apollo! Have a wonderful day! 😊
Just beautiful..what a nice ride..wonderful!!!!

love how you talk to him, and also tell us what's going on, its great to see and hear:)

Fabulous ride. Thank you for sharing your beautiful ride. Beautiful time you had.
it was one of the best rides we have done. Yesterday's ride was great too, I will post it this week😊
Awwww. Love your positive encouragement. 😊❤️😊
I enjoyed this immensely. I also cried. How I miss my dear Rocky. He liked nothing more than exploring new trails. He died at 33 yrs. old and we had him since he was 3. Probably never ride again but this really warmed my heart. Your horse's ear positions show he is listening to you at all times. What a great partnership. Best wishes to you both. Love from the US. 😍
33yrs is a great age :-)
@@Tara101 I know. I am so grateful to have had him for so long. He was surely one of a kind as well. Quite a few people wanted to buy him from us--but no money in the world would entice us to sell him.
Absolutely gorgeous horse!!!
Lots of very well behaved horses on these fun rides.....or do we just see the good ones! haha!
What you see is what I see :)
Apollo is one beautiful horse and how attentive he is to your voice! Always listening (for the most part!). 😉
👍😂
It's like being stuck behind a tractor with those two ! Great video .
lol
@@Tara101 I would have stayed behind those two also, they looked like steady guys and your horse was rated into a nice canter due to their restraint. Nice job, I do not have such lovely fields to canter around, all I get is a ring. I really think you are lucky to have a great place like that to ride around on. Nice! :)
Nom DePlume We don’t have places like that to ride here in the States. I just love the footpaths/bridle paths of England. Marvelous!
Oh thank you!✨truly...

Very exciting ride. He's so obedient. You're blessed.

Lovely--thank you so much for the virtual horse ride!

What a nice, long canter! Must be fun for the horses, running in a little band 🙂
How Wonderful 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽I’ve not been on a horse for decades now and I yearn to be.
Must be exhilarating on such a regal mount.
Such a fantastic perspective.
I can only dream of riding now. Hit by a car has caused permanent damage to my spine countless surgeries I can no longer ride.
Sharing this make me feel like I am riding again.
I Thank You 🙏🏽 Very Much❤️🌹❣️
I am sorry to hear you can ride anymore, I would be divested, I am happy that my little videos are a comfort in some way xxx
Tara they are a great comfort Thank You Kindly.🌹
Great ride. Wore me out just watching. 😍🐎
Can't ride atm but this gives me the feel of it. Thank you. The Appendix Quarter Horse gelding I used to ride (RIP Deke) would always slow down near gates like this boy.
👍😊
He is a gorgeous horse
this looks like an amazing ride and your horse is so beautiful, powerful boy hearing his gallop 😍❤🌟
You can certainly here Apollo coming
How beautiful. Im so so jealous. I absolutely love hourses.
Loved the way you kept talking to him. How to build uo a bond. ...Nice.
Lovely canters there Tara and I noticed after the last canter he had his head down to stretch and relax. He was a good sport to let the other two go ahead of him for a change!!! 😂
He's beautiful
Ahh!!! I'm a little breathless myself but I did enjoy that ride.
What a great ride, Thank you!
Great ride Tara, 😍🙏🐎Apollo is a doll 🐎🐎👍🥰
Apollo at his best,lovely to watch.Great places to canter and he was so good at not charging past the others in front of him.
Loved that. I never get tired of the sound of horses hooves hitting the ground on the canter. Being from England, now living in the US I can’t believe you’re getting so much good weather. Here in Louisiana it feels like it hasn’t stopped raining ! Thanks for the ride Tara.

@@blueraven2345 That would be lovely. I could not bring my horses, but perhaps I could ride one of yours :)
Absolutely, my husbands horse is a Friesian mustang mix.
Wow I know what you mean. Me and my Tennessee walker erebus never even get a chance to ride since it’s always muddy!
Looks a great ride..with the others..big strong Apollo ...such a elegant boy .
He is such a pleasure, never difficult x
Lovely lovely ride. I was so into it that I felt 14 mins went by so fast. Can't wait for part 2. :-)
Great to hear, that's a good sign :)
Understand. We do it here by removing a bit of the top hairs and “cleaning out” the hollows above their hoofs but keep the beautifull frill around the lower legs. They are Frisians after all
Oh man... this makes me really miss riding. I would do anything to get back in the saddle. Much love to you and Apollo, thanks for a great ride!

Oh 😍💙💚💛👏🦄🥕🥕🥕 what a dream boat 😍 what a good boy he is big..I want one🙋

Thanks, I needed that. Such a great horse. Loved it. Enjoy!
good to hear :-)
I want a Friesian they are so cute and pretty I always have to ride small horses and I been asking my dad to buy me a horse 🐎
I hope you get one everyone looks at them as they are so beautiful
Ohhh thank you 😊
This so reminds of one of the places i used to ride at.
Just beautiful!
Apollo always well turned out got a lovely thick tail .
Thanks for taking me on the ride ! I'm Exhausted! TTFN

Horses don't like getting left behind. Mine always speeds up like that then wants to take the lead (ex-racer). There's nothing like the feeling of cantering on a horse with a nice gait.
Fantastic video and what an awesome horse i just love the way you give him confidence with your talking to him,dont see enough of this Well done you (why are those two ladies not talking to you not very sociable of them )!!!
