I'd say let the commenters "come at you" all they want. Until they start supply the large amount of $$$$ needed for lessons and their idea of the perfect boarding facilities, then nothing they say matters. Rudnik is your horse and your responsibilty that you are taking seriously and doing a great job at. Be proud of all that you and Rudnik have accomplished so far and will continue to do so from what I am seeing!
We all do our best for those we love..I've seen some videos of abused and neglected animals..this place looks like paradise to me...people always dissing what the don't understand! Take care 😊
@@rudniktheroan I wanted to thank you for responding to my question both in the comment on the other video and re-mentioning about why the white horse did not come with him.... As I said before I am not a horse person, but even I can see you do the grooming of the coat and feet... Keep up the good work being a horsy mom... I do agree with you if folks want to trash talk your riding style (with I have no clue one but looks good to me) then let them fund you with lessons/perfect boarding place.... I grew up with cats and dogs and I can see your looking out for your horse baby...
LOL I grew up with dogs, good to see all of are baby's are the same when its "oh the treat is left with no one watching it, think I will help my self to some goodies...." My 14 year old Yorkie the other day showed my mom why she can not leave food sitting on the lamp/end table when he taken it on him self to help her eat half her tuna sandwich... LOL Then to see Rundnik do the horse version of the same thing....
He's so glad to see you and spend time with you . Just keep talking to him...quietly. Haven't met an animal that didn't respond well to that. He knows what you're saying.
Rudnik’s ears perking up when he hears your voice & his slow n steady walk over to the gate 🥹he’s just so cute,😂someone is a carrot monster these flimsy bags are no match for this boys chompers.🥕😋🖤💙🐎
👍🏻❤️ I adore how much Rudnik loves you. He’s such a great heart & soul. 🥰 and I respect how you ‘handle’ him with words & easy gestures, his comfort with you speaks volumes. Who needs perfect form when they’ve got perfect love like yours ? 👍🏻🙏❤️
The carrot hound knows exactly where to go for his treats.😀 One small bite in five days after all the posturing that was going on in the other videos is a good thing. I was afraid he’d be a mass of bites by now, but you had said in an earlier video that though it looked like he’d been bitten that there were no marks. I hope he starts making friends soon so he’ll feel more comfortable and less chance of biting. Though I know that in established herds that have been together and been friends a long time that bites can occur.
I love watching you & Rudnick. I am really happy you have him in a Pasture without so much grass. He is an easy keeper--that's the good news. That also means that if he consistently carries too much weight there is a risk of many problems (& expensive vet bills) that are associated with equine obesity--laminitis, founder, colic among others. If he is supplemented with hay you might want to soak his hay to remove sugar before feeding it to him. Overall I think you do a good job with him. He is actually stunning. I hope your RUclips videos provide enough income to allow you to take lessons & get the coaching you want. And I think you are doing really good job on your own.
Thankfully the hay they get is just grass hay so no risk of excessive sugar there either! But yes so many just assume because so many animals eat only grass that there is no risk to it. The amount of people I’ve had try to fight me and say I’m wrong is astonishing (one woman even fought me that ‘only old horses can colic’… I’ve personally had a 2 year old nearly die from colic) some people would rather believe they’re right than learn something that could save their animals life someday.
I love your relationship with Rudnik. I think I would cry about him getting a bite! It makes me want to bite the horse that did it! lol He is so freaking smart!
I don’t know a darn thing about caring for a horse, but I do know love when I see it! It is apparent there is a strong loving bond between you two! Rudnick also has a strong bond with the fiancé. 🙂 I was drawn to your videos because of the love and care you give to Rudnick. I have since become a subscriber. Thank you for sharing. Cheers from Valerie in Colorado 🏞
Your doing everything right!! Don't let anyone tell you differently. I do think the new place is better for him also, with visual stimuli to learn about. Sorry it's further away. The long range benefits will pay off in the end
He’s doing great at the new place. You definitely made the best choice. I didn’t realise that too much sweet grass can lead to metabolic issues like Laminitis not just obesity until I saw a video from the Clever Cowgirl who has a couple of horses with this problem. He seems nice and calm where he is. You did a great job in choosing a place that suits HIS needs. 😃👍
You have a truly special horse in Rudnik! He leaves other horses to come see you. He tries to please you regardless of what you are asking; he is Cool and so are you!
Having horses is expensive. Floating teeth, hoof trims every 6 to 8 weeks, shots, feed, hay, supplements, and boarding. This new facility isn't that bad. It may not be a million dollar barn, but it is a safe place for him to be. Hopefully, someday, you can get a place of your own.
It’s a good point that this pasture is better for Rudnik. We’re having a drought where I am which is great for my Lusitano, who gets overweight just looking at lush grass…
Like your new spot. I agree that natural terrain is a great way for Rudnik to get in shape as well as develop excellent up, down, sideways training. Then you will be adding your body balance and that will be Step 2. Hope you will work on ground work, obstacles, even ground driving as your pregnancy advances, as weather permits. (Barry Hook also uses a lot of verbal cues. You can see obstacle training, etc. and he emphasizes ground training/daily routines as a foundation for other work. Rhianna and sometimes Katy are his co-trainers.) I always enjoy how he "looks for" potential obstacles/conditions to train on.
We have a lot of fun with our ground work too! I’ll definitely have to start doing more of that once I’m unable to ride - even when you’re not riding there’s so much you can still do and learn out of the saddle! We’ll never be bored 🥰
Thank you! Very much self taught - we grew up riding western and basically as long as you didn’t fall off you were succeeding 😂 I only switched fully to English in the last few years so I know I still have a lot of ‘western’ riding habits that leak into my English riding that I’m trying to workout. But it’s definitely taken work to get here so thank you! ♥️
Main thing is it’s obvious that rudnik loves you. Let critics look into themselves. Some people have nothing better to do than find fault. Ignore them ❤
I love the close up shots. I just want to give him a cuddle. Can he see himself when you’re filming? You guys are so great together and I love how you speak to him in a regular voice and not with baby talk. It’s as though you’ve known each other all your lives. ❤
Cripes I thought you sold him! Yay its boarding just in a new ....well its beautiful place! Must be like summer camp for him he will be fine! Ya both look so happy! I am happy for you both to find such a great place!
You " know " Rudnik . Everything that you do for him is done with forethought . He is very well taken care of . He's well loved , we see this . He loves you . Keep doing what makes Both of you happy , that's what you've been doing since you got him . ❤😊👍👍
You are doing great I do note that when you are ridning in circles he have his head to The outside - that indicate he is not relaxed and in balance yet and there is some hole in his basic Education - I would suggest looking up Ryan Rose he is very good at explain and teach these things 😊 it’s about having Them to relaxe in The ribcase and give to The inside lower The head and put The head in The direction you are traveling 😊
Questions 🙋🏼♀️ what does it mean when he nudges you? 🥰 Are a horses nose better than a dogs? This new home, the landscape is stunning! I live on the east coast of America and the only mountains I see are in my dreams! I do wish for you and Rudnik could be closer, but I understand the reason why. Life is not always the way we want it to be. But accepting it as it is, and knowing things will be better in time. I’ll say prayers for you, your fiancé, and the other 2 loves in your life Rudnik 🥰and the precious little one on the way! My maternal grandma, was a nurse. She called herself a baby nurse as that was the area she worked at, delivering babies! Keep in mind this wee tidbit, her first baby she delivered she was paid $5 for. My grandpa kept that $5 bill in his wallet for his entire life. This first baby was pre-1930 mind you 😆My mom was born in 1930, so I’m not sure how many years before grandma worked before she herself became a mother! She only had one other child, my Aunt. A funny. Grandma told me decades ago, of course she’s in Heaven now, but she said she would give herself cold water douche to keep from getting pregnant back in the 1920s. That was from a well that they had to actually pump water and the toilet was the outhouse! 😳 in north eastern Indiana close to one of the finger lakes! She used to laugh and laugh at how cold the bathroom trip was! Angel Blessings 🕊
The nudging can usually be a sign he’s trying to ask something from you, or he’s telling you he wants whatever it is he’s nudging (sometimes if I have treats in a specific pocket he’ll nudge that exact pocket to tell me that’s what he wants) and sometimes they do it just as a way to show affection
How far do you have to go now to visit him? I am so glad you are seeing him. I loved his soul and his tail being up when he saw the horses. Loved him running to you(hoping he was being saved and he could go home) and now he walks to you. My heart hurts for that, that he feels he isn't going home...reminds me of school. Some sous are hard to be around makes life hard to live good. Hope some horses there will be good for his soul, spirit, and body? Now I will watch your share.. I have other thoughts too...hope the grasses will help his health too. It's hot(!) here lately and who wants to run when we must conserve energy?
It was about a 15-20 minute drive to his last spot. The drive now takes me about 40+ minutes each way. I know it’s such a ‘first world problem’ thing to complain about but the extra driving has really made it harder to get out there as often as I used to - but the spot he’s in now is so beautiful it’s worth it!
@@rudniktheroan I have empathy and I believe I do understand. I hope you find property to be close to your good family and friends. Have your beauty be a happy soul in a horse herd♡ Life is having more challenges for us, than ever before and I just pray for wellness, wellbeing, energy, and some how to prosper in these times I'm sure I am not prepared for. Our budget sigh, and in our world something gets ruined, broken, died...and replacing is so much more costly.. We used to know how to repair things now this technology..we have to have others help us...and many don't call back or the price is way up there!
Hi, your riding looks fine to me, but if you are looking for helpful information on riding/ training horses then I would recommend looking at Josie ‘Basic Horse Training’ on RUclips. She explains everything really well and has a great attitude to both her own horses and those that she backs or re schools for others. I had very few lessons as an adult (never learned to ride as a child) and I have picked up lots of information from her videos to help refine my riding. By the way, Rudnik is stunning 🐴👍
Not always. Blankets are more so used as temperature control but it could be possible some may for that reason. Out here it’s WAY too hot to be blanketing though and it’s best to let horses be horses. It’s actually extremely common to find bites on them even when they’re in a herd they’ve been with for years. It’s just horses being horses
Horses have a pecking order and getting bitten is typical of herd integration. They also kick each other which can really result in serious injuries. All in all it is better to be bitten than kicked in the head or have a leg broken with a kick. Hopefully Rudick is past the most difficult part of his integration. 🙏 ❤
If you run in a herd, you’re gonna get better you’re gonna get kicked. You just hope none of those horses have shoes on out there that pasture because you can end up broke or dead if they have high shoes on.
How do you know it was him? You really can’t tell an entire horses personality off a split second clip so I wouldn’t be so quick to throw judgement - I’ve seen their interactions more than you have and can confidently say he is not mean at all
![Eminem - Like My Shit [Official Audio]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/vx_IMvFkrfA/mqdefault.jpg)
He’s such a beautiful horse and you can tell he loves you
I'd say let the commenters "come at you" all they want. Until they start supply the large amount of $$$$ needed for lessons and their idea of the perfect boarding facilities, then nothing they say matters. Rudnik is your horse and your responsibilty that you are taking seriously and doing a great job at. Be proud of all that you and Rudnik have accomplished so far and will continue to do so from what I am seeing!
Exactly! If they want to give me the funds to get him a 5star resort of horse boarding - feel free 😂🤣
Exactly! And the fact that Rudnik comes all the way up to her from the pasture speaks volumes of how he’s treated and what he thinks of his human❤️
We all do our best for those we love..I've seen some videos of abused and neglected animals..this place looks like paradise to me...people always dissing what the don't understand!
Take care 😊
Yup. Key board losers with no experience.😂
Rudy is doing great. Cheers.

I'll be back tomorrow....
" I'll be waiting for you, baby momma."

SO EXPRESSIVE in responses to your words. 💜💞

Thank you so much 🥰 thanks for coming along on our adventures with us!
Has the clever cowgirl come up in your feeds,she has 8 horses and lots of what seems good intel. 😊
the new place looks really nice with pretty chill herdmates.
I love the info about Rudnki's gear changes. He sounds like the gearbox on my old Ford.
Your doing everything right!! Don't let anyone tell you differently. I do think the new place is better for him also, with visual stimuli to learn about. Sorry it's further away. The long range benefits will pay off in the end

Thank you! He truly is a 1-in-a-million boy! ♥️
He is so sweet. Sometimes he seems like an old soul. It is amazing what a good saddle can do for your seat, balance and overall ridiing.

I think he can😂 I have so many clips of him walking up to the camera, starting straight into it before nudging it to the ground 😂
And I suppose that is partially true - I’ve had Rudnik since he was 11 months old. He’s 6 now so we’ve known each other mostly all of his life♥️

Yayyyyyy another Rudnik video 🥰
I don't know if he was using you as a scratching post...maybe he was trying to pet you like you pet him. Or thought you needed a scritch, too.
That was my thought too 😂 he’s returning the favour for scritches
@@rudniktheroan Proof your boy loves you.
I'm guessing there are a lot of people watching this video who wish they were in your situation.😊
How long into your pregnancy are you going to ride?
Until I no longer feel it’s safe to continue doing so. I’m just listening to my body right now - it’ll tell me when it’s time
Did he smell the carrots, or does he know there are always goodies in the bag? How's the new saddle working out so far for Rudnik? Cheers.
He smelled them out 😂
The saddle is working amazing! I’m so happy with the improvements it made in our riding! He’s a whole new horse 🥰
I believe bites are why so many boarders cover their horses.
Interesting idea, but a blanket could possibly overheat him in warm weather.
Not always. Blankets are more so used as temperature control but it could be possible some may for that reason. Out here it’s WAY too hot to be blanketing though and it’s best to let horses be horses. It’s actually extremely common to find bites on them even when they’re in a herd they’ve been with for years.

Horses have a pecking order and getting bitten is typical of herd integration. They also kick each other which can really result in serious injuries. All in all it is better to be bitten than kicked in the head or have a leg broken with a kick. Hopefully Rudick is past the most difficult part of his integration. 🙏 ❤
The new environment is more interesting. The last one looked bland.
I hope you have future plans to get a house on some land so he can stay with you. You both would be better off then. 😊
Definitely in the plans someday when we can afford it!
People seriously watch the videos to critique how you ride? Man and I thought my life was boring
If you run in a herd, you’re gonna get better you’re gonna get kicked. You just hope none of those horses have shoes on out there that pasture because you can end up broke or dead if they have high shoes on.
No shoes thankfully! All barefoot boys
