I had to laugh so hard when I saw Uniek and Risy itch simultaneously 😂 She has surely taught him well 😊 Reintje is a beauty and Richtsje has such a cute face 😍
Poor Uniek suffers from mud fever, as Yvonne has explained in past videos, that is why she itches so much. It is a bacteria in the environment, the only way to manage it, is to dry the feathers every single day they are wet, clipping them right back and applying a topical ointment specific to mud fever and how bad it is.
@@shasha738 Oh, I must have missed that, poor Uniek! I remember Yvonne saying in an older Video that she was checking Uniek's feet regularly, but couldn't find anything. Obviously, this has changed. I'm certain Uniek will receive the best treatment from Yvonne and will get better soon 🍀
@@shasha738 She doesn't always suffer from it and they obviously treat it as soon as she does. Yvonne said Uniek has done that for many years and I'm positive they wouldn't let her suffer for years.
@@kimberlyearly8918 I didn't mean "suffer" in the literal sense. Yes Yvonne treats it, she has video and the scratching is probably just a nice habit for Uniek.
@@bloomingaccents Do you know the cost of boarding horses, food, treats, training, veterinary care , dental care, shoeing horses, and everything else that goes into keeping these wonderful animals? Rein did say Rising Star JK and Queen Uniek could stay at Stal G. I am sure he treats Yvonne and all who volunteer at Stal G Very Well
My older sister worked for a horse stable near Kansas City Missouri USA they bred, trained & sold (quarter-horses)these were for working cattle, and pleasure riding. The stable owner had a sign inside the stable that read if i catch you mistreating any animal on this ranch, you will be fired on the spot, no more job!
@@bloomingaccents I hope at least, Yvonne was given a much less price for Uniek. I bet Rein knew Uniek is at the end of her ability to be a mare horse to produce future foals. But I agree, he should have gifted Uniek to Yvonne!
Yvonne, I would write it “Risey” because the verb is RISE, to RISE. The “e” on the end of “rise” gives the “I” the long vowel sound (meaning the vowel says it’s own name). “Risy” would be mistakenly be pronounced to rhyme with “dizzy” or “busy”. English is so irregular! By the way, you do have excellent English!
I kinda like Risy cuz it makes me think of a tiny piece of rice.. idk when my brain twisted it like that but now I think it's adorable to see this tiny baby next to imponent queen Uniek
Yvonne it’s not just a hobby it’s your life’s passion too ! We enjoy your videos so much especially Uniek and Risy both of them itching and scratching away 🤣 So funny . Core I bet they enjoyed all their carrots so sweet of your viewer in Germany xx
How interesting that saying about a picture being worth 1000 words is also in the US. Makes one wonder about the origin. And how many countries it ISN'T in. 😌 Just a hobby?! For all that you do and the hours you spend doing it, I'm sure most or your subscribers ,like me, thought you work for Rein . How phenomenal to find something to do in life that encompasses something you love so much. I won't say lucky because you've obviously worked hard and still do to accomplish your dreams. ]
Hello Yvonne my dear friend and my beautiful horses Queen Uniek good mother and Rising Star little angel ❤️🙏😍❤️ thanks for existing, thank you so much Yvonne for your answer
Good Morning to everyone at Stahl G Hope you all have a wonderful weekend !! I like the spelling of Risey, but no matter how you want to spell it we love our Rising Star and Queen Uniek . ❤❤❤❤🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🐴🐎🐎🐴
WOW!!! All this time I've been thinking Yvonne WORKS on the ranch as her JOB! To now know being there is simply her HOBBY blows me away!!! What a blessing that RUclips and selling merchandise might very well earn her MORE than a job there ever would. Absolutely AWESOME!!! 🤟🏾👍🏾👌🏾✌🏾
She had said due to RA she cannot work like she did, she gets to enjoy her hobby lol while raising young sons very busy lady she sure does deserve whatever good comes her way !
Yvonne does get paid by Rein Sr as an employee she just isn’t working constantly training 4 to 5 horses every day like before as back then she worked at a few different stables training horses regularly.Working at Stal G is still her job only it’s not as physically demanding on her body from her RA so doesn’t exacerbate it(having arthritis and chronic pain myself when a flare up his it can make even small movements incredibly painful)The videos/channel were started by Yvonne as her hobby here & there to share what amazing horses Friesian’s are and she does an amazing job Shannon Moderator😊🌟
I so agree w Renate...These videos make my day too!!! I am in USA in a small town called Sandy Pond on Lake Ontario...these videos you make bring a world of people together...all for the sheer pleasure of watching you & your herd!!! Uniek must love her scratching post!!! The acorn doesn't fall far from the tree bc Risey was using it to scratch his neck at same time as Uniek...too cute I would love it if you could make horse hair bracelets...grey hairs included...I think many of us would buy some!!!
WOW, Rein is very very lucky to have you, Yvonne! You work very hard, in the heat and snow and are very dedicated to the horses. It shows through the videos how much you love them all . I think "Risey" is a good english spelling for Rising Star but either way is cute! Sad that Richtsje and Sjirkje are sold but really looking forward to seeing Gertje and Gea have babies now that they are Provisional Crown (Gertje) and Star (Gea) girls!! Much love from NJ in the USA! We love you Yvonne!!
Truly you bring the world together. Comments are all so kind. PS, I just found out my sister-in-law (who lives in Texas, I live in Michigan), watches this too. We had a great laugh over this, and the rest of the family just sat confused. Hahaha.
Yvonne. Your videos have brought so much joy to me and clearly to thousands of people around the world. Thank you so much for your dedication. I hope you are financially rewarded for your dedication even though I know this is not why you do this.
I am just glad you bought rising star so you and uniek and rising star can be together no matter how you spell his name.....I just hope the herd continues to help you on your journey to fulfill your plans and dreams for the future
Dear Yvonne, what a lovely letter from Renata in Germany. I am so surprised that you are not an employee at Stal G. Rein is incredibly blessed to have you come in every day to take care of his horses and work in his stable. It is lovely that Uniek and Risey can still live there too with all their friends. You have a wonderful life with this hobby, plus your gorgeous wee boys, hubby and your own farm...wow. Then on top of that you make all these amazing videos that thousands of us enjoy every day...I take my hat off to you. Blessings to you... Smiles Bronwyn New Zealand 🤠🐎🇳🇿🤠🐎🇳🇿
Ahahaha Uneik and Risy using their stalls as scratching posts are too funny. When ya got an itch to scratch though, any tool will do!!❤🐎❤🐴❤ Go get some food Yvonne! Gotta keep up your energy! You and Gertje take such great care of the horses. No wonder they love you like they do!!❤
I absolutely love the "clip-clop" sound of the horses walking. Reminds me of Mackinac Island MI in the summer time. Risy....how CUTE! So adorable! U are so blessed to be surrounded by all those beautiful horses!
Such a wonderful letter, Renata! Uniek and Rising Star were so cute, itching together. Reina and Reintje look so much alike! Geertje, you made a beautiful braid. Interesting that now Yvonne considers RUclips her job and Stal G her hobby. Life is ever-changing!
What a lovely letter from Germany! And I know that Uniek is going to enjoy those carrots! 🥕🥕Thank you for a lovely video.... I got so tickled at Rising 🌟 imitating his mom! That was so cute! Love to all. Grandma Sherry 🐎👩🦳🐎🥕🐎🐎💘❤💞💗💕💜🌟🌟
Geertige and you (Yvonne ) are the two most popular to me , I certainly do pray you get a decent amount from U tube to help you out for ALL you do 💕💕💕🥰 I am so truly happy that you own Uniek and RS that has to be a wonderful feelin Do you think you and Geertige will be able to do another Christmas Stable party 🎉 that was very good sweet seeing all the horses eating special food , thank you Yvonne for ALL you do 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Enjoy Gertja and iFauna together so much. They are adorable together, just their Durch sounds and intonations make me chuckle! Oh baby Risey! likes being read too ! Mem is alert too. See their ears!!! Uniel kcomes over and snorts and listens more. she knows how important she is! Loved by Ifauna !!!! (Yvonne Yvonne!! ). Uneik is more relaxed and happy with a baby I see here then now when Uniek is.. not as relaxed. Uniek Like something to do? Dance carriage pulling.. so beautiful she is and such a mem and dancer that extra flourish in her dressage work. Want to keep watching. (Great training yvonne too). Watched the dressage olympics because of Uniek. Unique seemed just relaxed dancing vs doing this routine kind of thing- more nervous less enjoyed? She’d be super to watch as she danced at 13 - (that video) but at the Olympics.
@@maggiemay1434 No Rein & Yvonne aren’t related but they’ve known each other for years and are good friends as well as boss/employee because she works for him. The videos themselves were all started by Yvonne as her hobby to share knowledge and what amazing gentle horses Friesian’s are.
I LOVE the Friesian horses and your videos. My parents were from Friesland (left in 1946 ) so it is a happy reminder for me. The videos are so caring and special. The comments are very interesting. The first video I saw was when Rising Star was united with Uniek for the first time and since then I am hooked! This comes all the way from Fisherhaven, Western Cape, South Africa. We have wild horses in our village and across the lagoon next door! This comes with best wishes for you Yvonne and all the persons associated with the stable.
I ❤️ you sweet Risy. The queen has the itchies. Wish I could have some of Reinje’s hair, she sure enjoys her salon day. My gosh what a beauty with her new hair do.All the horses are so well behaved because they know they are so loved. Yvonne, I thought for sure you were Reins stable manager, as you work so hard and do so many things there, I am so surprised to hear you volunteer, but what a beautiful passion to have.👏👏👏👏🌼🌼🌼
Why so shy ? Yes you make the BEST Horse vids ever , "just Hobby" 😂😂you love what you do and the horses trust you Like no other. The horses dont lie - you are on the right place at the right time. Of corse Come with the content you create with help one of the Most black beautyfull Friesian prinzess and the Most famous foal on you tube Rising star some money - and every Cent YOU DESERVE because you make so many peoples in the World Happy, bring some good and peacefull feeling in the dark days we have. Ty and be the proudest Horse Lady you can. It is a Hobby 😂😂😂😂nope - it is what you love!
Everyone at Stal G seems so friendly toward each other, it is easy to believe that you are all just one big happy family; especially when the children and neighbor boy Rein pitch in to help or to play with the horses. It's also easy to forget that Stal G is a business. Owner Rein is very kind to open up his breeding stable so we can peak inside and learn a little bit about the way he runs his business. This opportunity to see everything at Stal G, from insemination to the birth of a foal, to the three years of growing up and training for Inspection, to the horses becoming mothers or fathers themselves, is just fabulous! Thanks to Owner Rein and Yvonne for making these videos possible, and to all of those who work at Stal G, for allowing themselves to be filmed as they work. You are all great people. Thank you. Thank you. THANK YOU!
I, TOO, WANT TO ADD MY THANKS!! I'VE FALLEN IN LOVE WITH YOUR MAGNIFICENT FRIESIAN HORSES 🐎, THEY ARE SO BEAUTIFUL, FUNNY, SASSY, A LITTLE BIT HARD HEADED - AREN'T WE ALL - BUT SWEET, CUDDLY AND KICKING UP THEIR HEELS - THEY SEEM TO HAVE AND SHOW THE SAME EMOTIONS WE DO - BUT I DON'T THINK I'VE SEEN THEM TURN ON EACH OTHER - SOME PEOPLE COULD LEARN A LOT FROM ANIMALS!! ❤ THESE HORSE'S SEEM TO BOND WITH AND TRUST YOU - THAT'S A TRUE GIFT!! THANK YOU FOR CONTINUING TO SHARE YOUR BEAUTIFUL HORSES AND FRIENDSHIPS WITH US!!
Thanks for sharing the letter with us, I really like learning about other cultures I think it makes one a better person, glad to see Geertje hope everyone is doing well. When it comes to names you can spell them any way you want too he’s your horse if you want to give him a nickname you can spell it any way you want. I am still amazed by Uniek she’s an incredible horse and mother a once in a lifetime animal friend, mine was a feral cat when I was little she was my best friend and after many years I still miss her, how fortunate we have been to have that special friendship. Thanks for sharing with us.
In the beginning, I went from thinking you were the owner of the stable to a paid employee & now knowing it is a hobby. You are a very dedicated volunteer, Rein is blessed to have you. The only thing that matters is that you are happy doing what you do, if you weren't, you wouldn't be there.
@@shannondominguez9725 Hi!! Ms Shannon, my dear...how has the truth of whether or not Yvonne e works-- or volunteers at Stal G, become so crazy confusing??? Please help us straighten it out, once and for all, as personally, I am completely at a loss...Thank you Honey... Lisa in Los Angeles 🌏🇦🇺🐨. ☮️❤️🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎. 😷. 🌷
@@lisajoyaslanis Hi Lisa believe me when this video came out with Yvonne saying her position at Stal G was simply one of being a volunteer I was surprised and kind of thrown for a loop(in a good way of course)because I like the majority of the family wasn’t expecting it. Yvonne does indeed spend her time at the stable strictly as a volunteer helping Rein Sr care for the horses so she does not get paid. She also said her videos are her main hobby and she does earn some money both from her RUclips account as well as from any purchases followers make buying her merch off the Spring website. Now I don’t know the full background as to why this is or what reasons Yvonne has for sharing this announcement now as some could be private however what I do know is that her arthritis has been giving her a tough time making little movements or walking a few steps incredibly difficult she did share that she is taking medication for it again and that she’s managing it,this I believe was a big part of why she’s easing her workload. As one who deals with chronic pain/early on set arthritis starting in my teens it can be very painful. Yvonne does really seem to enjoy things right now and to me I’m just glad she’s found a way to handle everything where it’s not taking too much of a toll on her body and she’s happy. If Yvonne and her dear horses are content with things then I’m absolutely pleased for them all.💕💕⭐️⭐️🐎🐎
@@kimberlyearly8918 Yes I’ve now clarified that I was in the wrong on this(fully my mistake and I removed my comments about it so I apologize🙈)and Yvonne is NOT getting paid by Rein Sr,her position IS indeed that of a volunteer helping with tend to the daily needs of the herd and chores around the barn including of course her own kids Uniek and Risy. I understand because I too was both surprised and confused by this announcement however I’m simply happy that Yvonne has found a way of managing everything around her that is a lot less stress on her body particularly as her arthritis has been flaring up and that she is happy making videos while earn her money from both them and the sales of her merchandise.(as someone who’s dealt with chronic pain and early onset arthritis from a young teenager it can be quite painful as well as making simple tasks more intimidating and challenging.)I don’t know everything though as there may be things she hasn’t shared to have her privacy I’m glad she’s eased up on her workload and doing something that is easier for her.⭐️🐎😊
@@shannondominguez9725 Now the problem is that I think you commented that to several people and it made it seem like Yvonne was being dishonest. You also put on one of those comments that you were a comment moderator. If that's really the case you should be sure of what you're saying because that made it seem even more like she was being dishonest. Please correct that for her sake and for others that trust and feel like they know her. I see now I missed where you said you removed the comments. I also know all about chronic pain and it's really difficult to navigate life with it. I feel so bad for her!
Lovely letter! I hope Uniek and friends liked the carrots!🐴🥕 Don't get stressed about Risy or Risey. You are the first person to change "rising" into a diminutive. I vote for RISY!❤
Queen Uniek just is so Amazing love how she scratches her leg an cutest was she look over at RS too see if he was doing it correctly so ADORABLE ❤ she taught him well. Them Beautiful horses are just Breath taken but Queen Uniek an RS has my heart💞💞💞💞💞💞💞🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎SUPER GREAT VIDEO 💞
Well, Rising Star 🌟has learned from Uniek. To find an easy way to scratch, when you have an itch. I'm sure it is not the only thing he has learned from her. Geertje, the braids look really nice for being one of your first attemps. Renate, das war ein sehr schöner Brief. Ich denke, Du hast damit ausgedrückt, was sehr viele hier denken. Schön war auch, dass Du dich getraut hast auf Englisch zu schreiben. Schöne Grüsse aus Bayern nach Hessen.
I enjoy your hobby everyday! Would consider offering another water bottle with the picture of Uniek and Rising Star? I love the one with the young mares and I would like another for work. It was an amazing purchase because it keeps water cold all day. And it goes well with my Uniek bag and pillow
Thank you for that information about your position at Stal G. I think Rein is the most fortunate of people to have an amazing woman like you to volunteer their time and efforts for the horses. I realize the profit margin is probably very small in running Stal G---undoibtedly when the place was a dairy it wasn't financially making huge profits. Yvonne you are such an amazing person to pour so much love into Stal G. I see that love in the eyes of everyone you've shown us in videos. ♥🧡♥
@@lisajoyaslanis Yes, that was my Errol. Errol was the first BSH I had but he died in 2016 and now I have a lilac girl, Sofie, and a white boy Monroe. They are such wonderful cats.

Risey! In English The "e" makes the "i" say it's name. What a lovely letter from Germany. Yvonne, what a wonderful "hobby". True love, dedication and passion for those beauties. I'm jealous!! Ha ha. Mr. Rein, I know, must appreciate you very much. Ohhh Uniek is truly UNIQUE! I love them all so much.
Spell Rising Star like Risey because he's going to RISE beautifully 😍 love from the UK 🇬🇧 ❤ 💙 Also Yvonne you make us all beautiful videos to watch all the time and your hobby is a very hard job, Rein should pay you something because your one of the best if not the best perfect horse carer I've seen in a long time we love you Yvonne and all your beautiful videos ❤ ❤💙
Now knowing that your work in the stable is a hobby, I'm so glad that you are able to make some money from these videos. I know the videos are alot of work. Also, through these videos you are bringing more awareness to the Friesian horse breed and how special they are, which hopefully help's Rein's work in their preservation, too.
It was nice to get to see your hubby he is a handsome man and fortunate to have you because I believe women who love animals have bigger hearts and make better wives and mothers. I pray Gods blessings on you and your family and I pray the same for Geertje Janet and their families. You and Geertje are perfect for these videos. Another thing I like is both of you aren’t fake you are being yourselves and you don’t act like you are better than anyone else and that makes your videos even better. You’re doing great just keep doing what you’re doing. Are all the people in your country as nice as you Ceertje and Janet? Still the old lady from Texas U.S.A.
That’s an awesome Hobby, Yvonne! It’s perfect too because you can house Uniek and Risy for now there and see all the other beautiful Friesians, Sjors, Johnny and Waulobet! I’m happy to hear your channel is doing well and hopefully you will get a million subscribers one day. Thanks for the great videos.😀😀😀😀
English is the hardest language to learn grammatically. Yvonne you speak English very well. "Risey" would be the correct way of spelling. So lovely of Renate to have sent that sweet letter and money. That must have been a big bag of carrots you bought 😁 ❣️💜💙
I AM NEW TO THIS CHANNEL. I AM AMZED at the beauty this particular breed of horse resonates. I have never ridden a horse and being nearly 66 Years old, I probably will not. BUT MY SISTER rode horses and took Blessons as a child and she hopes to ride just one more time. SHE IS NOW 60 years old and I HOPE TO MAKE HER dream come true. THANK YOU YVONNE AND CREW FOR BRINGING THE VIDEO TAPES OF YOUR GORGEOUS HORSES. I ENJOY WATCHING HOW YOU TAKE CARE OF THEM, TRAIN THEM AND COMPETE THEM IN SHOWS. I ADORE WATCHING THEM GIVE BIRTH AND FOLLOWING THE MARE TEND TO HER BABY. I also love to see how they grow. THANK YOU FOR OPENING UP YOUR HORSES HOME TO PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD. SINCERELY, TINA FROM NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE, MUSIC CITY TINA FROM NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE
Hi Tina, I’m very glad you found Yvonne’s channel and like it so much. There are so much more videos to enjoy in the playlist. I do hope your sister will ride again🤞 Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱💙 (Yvonne2 Moderator 🌷)
Yvonne... Needed to take this opportunity, to express my regret that... This Time.. Uniek is not with Foal...maybe one last try?? Good luck to you.. Lisa in Los Angeles 🌏🇦🇺🐨🤔🌷. 👑💕
Yvonne, your beautiful videos are just wonderful. Before seeing them, I had only seen the Friesian horse in videos. Thank you to you & Rein for sharing both your & the horses lives with us. I don’t know if I’ll ever have the opportunity to visit the Netherlands, so thank you again for showing the beautiful towns, countryside & other stables. I also appreciate your sharing the keurings & history of the Friesian horses. I’ve even gone online to the KFPS & FHANA websites. It’s just amazing what those organizations & responsible breeders have done to develop this beautiful breed when they only had 1 stallion about 100 years ago! I hope that I will one day have the chance to see a Friesian horse in person one day! Keep doing what you do. You have brought much happiness to many people around the world! 💕
Lovely lovely Yvonne! I am glad Renate wrote to you! I can relate to her loving your videos! I feel the same way! I am a little older than Renate, and your videos, you and the horses and Geertje make my day!! I did not know taking care of the horses is your "hobby"! I thought it was your job! You love your work with the horses so much, this is why it shows the love you have for them, shines thru in your videos! I love seeing Geertje, too! Knowing how special Geertje and your friendship is, makes it extra special watching the two of you! I am in USA, Southern California. Thank you so much Yvonne, for your lovely videos of the horses, your family, and everyone who works at the stables! I love seeing the countryside there! It is so different from where I live! It looks so beautiful where you live! It looks like you have small villages there, not near big cities. So beautiful! Thank you again, for brightening my days!🌞🐎💖🌞🐎💖🌞🐎💖🌞🐎💖🌞🐎💖
That was a fantastic letter from Renata in Germany, it made me tear up actually to hear the joy that I get watching these videos are shared around the world. I am in Canada. All the horses are amazing...I am partial to Rising Star, to me is not an orphan he is a little fighter...and Johnny 'cause he is my kind of crazy! Stay safe everyone. God Bless.
First for Renate. I use translator, so maybe not best German. Sehr schöner Brief Renate. Sie sagen, was viele von uns auch fühlen. Vielen Dank für freundliche Worte und Geschenk. Sei gesund. Second, Geertje always makes me smile with her fun personality. Third, Yvonne is not employee of Rein Stal Goëngamieden anymore (hobby now) but we can know they help each other out in many ways. 👍
Pake Jeffje ..Thank you so much...was totally confused...some one forgot to bring Shannon up to speed??? Man!!! ( hate to be her this moment...but stuff happens, then is past..) How are you doing, Jeffje??? Lisa 🌏🇦🇺🐨🤔
Yvonne I love all your video’s they bring much joy in watching and I love Geertje’s smile and how you too connect with the horses!! I can really feel like I’m on the farm there with your videos , the way you include everything from the beautiful fields, weather, clean barns, grooming, vet visits, dogs, cats, Geertjie’s and your children. I especially find your very soft spoken way to be very soothing not only for the horses but for all of us as well, so thank you for all the enjoyable video’s!!!
I love it when Geertje is in the videos! She's such a wonderful person and you always have such fun together. Her daughter Faya has a wonderful heart too 💜
You should spell his name like this: Risie. I never knew much about horses, but I’ve learned so much about them. They’re so sweet and beautiful. I watch all your videos to relax and learn. I didn’t know about her behavior or that horses were easily frightened of new things. Thank you so much. By the way, I teach English as a second language. Your English is quite good. Your accent is impressive. It sounds American.
Lol Uniek and Risy😂 Today at my barn, I was taking the school horses back out to their pasture but someone had left the gate open to a paddock that a couple of pony mares go into. So the school horses decided they liked that paddock and went in there. I tried herding them out, but it didn’t work. Tried with a bucket of pellets, almost worked. One of the other barn hands came out and helped and we got them back in their pasture. So I had an interesting day😂😂 On the plus side, I got to cuddle some with the Friesian mare Naomi. Now that winter’s coming, she’s turning jet black again.
I almost cried, what a letter. You do have a lot of people around the world who love you, even tho we watch to see those beautiful happy horses. I like the green meadows and blue sky with big puffy clouds
A hobby…hm? You must have done a difficult study to doe this ‘hobby’! You know so much about horses and the different behaviour from horses and the herd …. all the care you give to them and last but not least, your medical knowlege about horses health, insamination (you did this voor Uniek yourself!!) and what to do if one of them is not well .….is very impressive!! 👍👍👍 Thank you Yvonne for scharing this with us!❤️
Good morning! 😀 Were your ears burning? I talked about you to my niece and nephew on Thanksgiving!! The fabulous Friesians, Uniek, the miracle of Rising Star, Yvonne and all the stable, mares and foals, and Johnny! My niece has her own horse, something of a quarter horse blend (I think). I think I take my cue from you about Risy? Or Risey? First time I saw a shortened name I believe it was Risy. That baby is a very blessed colt! Trying to learn horse etiquette! (What is my behavior toward a strange horse). I would never without the owner being there!! Geertje you braid very well, thanks to Faya I’m sure!! I see you have had wet weather. Stay dry! Stay safe.❤️
Yvonne, I’m so happy that taking care of the Friesian horses is your hobby and not something like collecting beer caps🙃 You really are the perfect ambassador for this beautiful breed and I’ve learned so much about them because of you🙏 Renate wrote you a very sweet letter and 👑Uniek and her friends were lucky with the treat🥕🥕🥕🥕🥕 Hi Geertje, it’s always a pleasure to see your beautiful smile🧡 The braids were beautiful. I practiced a lot with my daughter’s hair, but it was never very successful😮💨
Well, that makes so much sense that this is a beloved hobby for Yvonne. It's why she can take care of the horses with the love that she has for them without feeling the pressure of just "doing her job." It's not simply a job...but her passion...and the horses can probably sense that too. And, her videos are such a gift for all of us who have...fortunately...found this channel...😊
It's awesome the way you care for those horses. The rewards must be so good for you and the stable. The RUclips channel is wonderful. God bless you. 🐎🙋🏼♀️
I rode almost my whole life and unfortunately from health problems I couldn’t be around them for a while - but i was just hired as a riding instructor and it’s fantastic, wish some of the horses I work with could be as well behaved as yours! Lol But horse love is for life 💜 Rising Stars journey especially is so incredible and thank you for letting all of us be a part of it!
I have to wonder if "Hobby" means something different to Yvonne than it does to those of us in the states. Maybe she means she works there sort of as a volunteer and Rein pays her in trade (riding Reintje in competitions). Regardless, I have to believe to Rein, Yvonne and the other human herd members are vital in the stable. Love the channel. Keep up the wonderful work!
Well, that was a surprise! I thought Yvonne worked at the stables...you r the herd leader! Thank goodness your photography and editing skills w/ RUclips gives u some funds!
I love your hobby 😊 I love love horses. Always have. You are very blessed to be there with them. You are right also about the stables being so peaceful. I am very thankful that you do make these videos.
This is a great channel with so much to learn,enjoy, and think about.Thank you! I've never had a horse decide to be friends with me but this makes me want that someday.
..letter from Reinham.....that name " Rein" is Sooo popular ! 👍😁. Hi, Rein, Young Rein, Little Rein, and Yvonne's Papa Rein!! ( Have I missed any Reins??) Not forgetting Reintje and Reina, of course..
I had a quarterhorse palomino in junior high school and she was lovely - such a wonderful love between us. She would put her neck over my shoulder and just stand with her head resting on my shoulder. I loved her so much! Later in life I had another palomino - 16 hands. He was beautiful - a big boy! I got him as a yearling and then at around 9 yr old had to sell him due to life circumstances. He went to a woman that loved him and had a wonderful home and company at their stable. Someday I would love to have another horse. I hope I get that opportunity again. I love watching this because Yvonne has so much knowledge about these lovely horses and it never gets old watching them. Thank you for promoting this breed and sharing them with us. Yvonne is as precious as her horses! You are a wonderful role model as far as pushing yourself to do all you can with your hobby and taking care of yourself and a family. ❤️🙏🐎
Thank you Yvonne for what you do. We all love you and and all the horses. So glad you and Rein are such good friends to have this arrangement. It works well for everyone. This is definitely one of the best channels on RUclips and it is my personal favorite. I have no doubt it will continue to grow and prosper. When I watch it I feel like we are all personal friends of everyone at Stal G. I even see people on other channels mentioning they watch this channel in comments.
Yvonne, what a privilege to have such a great hobby! I thank you for making the videos often! Can you explain what is a beautiful or luxurious head for a Friesian horse, please?
Whatever your position is you and your friends have brought so much joy TY o the world with all the beautiful horses. So many of us look forward everyday to another video.I have told a friend about the horses and was so excited he said maybe we could go for a drive to see them.I had to break the news to him you can't drive from Cleveland.Ohio to the Netherlandd. He was so disapointed.
Uniek with her trusty itchy leg I sometimes find myself looking to see if she does it whenever she’s inside it makes me smile and it’s her own special little quirk she’s the best. Both she and Reintje looked so glamorous and content standing quietly for their appointment at the Stal G grooming station they really seem to enjoy the one on one pampering it makes them feel good and I’m happy whenever the herd is happy. Yvonne you & Geertje are hilarious together I know my morning will be that much better after watching the Yvonne & Geertje comedy routine awesome job on the braids by the way they looked beautiful.💖💖🐎🐎
I did get a chuckle out of 25 degrees celsius being "too hot". Having been to the Netherlands I do understand how different your weather is to my state of Texas but it still brings a smile. I really laughed when my Dutch friends came here to stay with me. We would go out in my yard to sit and drink iced tea and I would always position my chair in the shade and they would choose the sunny spot. When I told them I thought that was actually a bad idea as they would get overheated and sunburned they told me they were soaking up the sunshine they rarely got at home! But I'm sure the horses appreciated getting out of the heat. Yvonne, your hobby is a job as we see through your videos the time and effort it takes to do all the things you and everyone at the stable does to keep these horses healthy and happy. Thanks for taking the time to post all of it for us to share in your hobby!
When I finally went home..after 20 plus years absence, the weather in my home State( South Australia) was Sooo chilly, at 29degrees! On returning to Los Angeles, stepped off the plane, into a warm 70f. Evening...first time felt warm in a month! Climatic differences are amazing...in that case, chilly!!
I was laughing too. It's never 25 degrees in the day here, unless we get several days of rain storms. Usually 30 - 35 degrees. From 10 am to 4 pm, nobody goes outdoors if they can help it. Mention sunbathing, and everyone looks at you weirdly. The horses we have here are also short-haired breeds, even so I feel sorry for them because of how hot it is.
@@Min-tr1ml We are now, in our approach to winter, starting to get temps at 25c and even lower. But in the summer of course gets to above 35c. And like you said, we all avoid going out or doing outside work if we can during the hottest part of the day. Though you do get used to it; the children at school go outside for recess when it is 37c and above. No one thinks anything of it. I'm having fun using these celsius temperatures; I usually think in fahrenheit. I keep asking myself "is this right?" and having to google the answer!
Rein is lovely. This is a tight knit family. Please take your negativity elsewhere. They have a team and it works beautifully! The proof is in the pudding! 💕🥰👍🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻Goed zo!
Must be nice to just relax and calmly braid all that hair, a pretty summer day. The smell of warm hay and horses in the summer is something special. I have braided a Spanish stallion's mane that way once, it was satisfying to see the way it turned out. No more tangles left!
I had to laugh so hard when I saw Uniek and Risy itch simultaneously 😂 She has surely taught him well 😊 Reintje is a beauty and Richtsje has such a cute face 😍
Poor Uniek suffers from mud fever, as Yvonne has explained in past videos, that is why she itches so much. It is a bacteria in the environment, the only way to manage it, is to dry the feathers every single day they are wet, clipping them right back and applying a topical ointment specific to mud fever and how bad it is.
@@shasha738 Oh, I must have missed that, poor Uniek! I remember Yvonne saying in an older Video that she was checking Uniek's feet regularly, but couldn't find anything. Obviously, this has changed. I'm certain Uniek will receive the best treatment from Yvonne and will get better soon 🍀
@@shasha738 She doesn't always suffer from it and they obviously treat it as soon as she does. Yvonne said Uniek has done that for many years and I'm positive they wouldn't let her suffer for years.
@@alicegrace8476 Uniek just scratches and doesn't always struggle with it.
@@kimberlyearly8918 I didn't mean "suffer" in the literal sense. Yes Yvonne treats it, she has video and the scratching is probably just a nice habit for Uniek.
It’s the hardest working hobby I’ve ever seen. That is pure love and dedication. Just walking Johnny is a mini war of wills.
LoL. Some times yes
@@bloomingaccents Do you know the cost of boarding horses, food, treats, training, veterinary care , dental care, shoeing horses, and everything else that goes into keeping these wonderful animals? Rein did say Rising Star JK and Queen Uniek could stay at Stal G. I am sure he treats Yvonne and all who volunteer at Stal G Very Well
My older sister worked for a horse stable near Kansas City Missouri USA they bred, trained & sold (quarter-horses)these were for working cattle, and pleasure riding. The stable owner had a sign inside the stable that read if i catch you mistreating any animal on this ranch, you will be fired on the spot, no more job!
@@bloomingaccents I hope at least, Yvonne was given a much less price for Uniek. I bet Rein knew Uniek is at the end of her ability to be a mare horse to produce future foals. But I agree, he should have gifted Uniek to Yvonne!
@@karentaylor414 I wonder! It appears to me, Rein is not very friendly or likeable. Yvonne has been with him a very very long time for being a HOBBY!
Yvonne, I would write it “Risey” because the verb is RISE, to RISE. The “e” on the end of “rise” gives the “I” the long vowel sound (meaning the vowel says it’s own name).
“Risy” would be mistakenly be pronounced to rhyme with “dizzy” or “busy”.
English is so irregular! By the way, you do have excellent English!
I kinda like Risy cuz it makes me think of a tiny piece of rice.. idk when my brain twisted it like that but now I think it's adorable to see this tiny baby next to imponent queen Uniek
@@reelkyrie I like Risy too.
As an English teacher, I would agree that the correct spelling is Risey.
NAmes never follow rules, so spell it how you wish!
@@marybethlosch6641 Thank-you! Totally agree!
Couldn't stop staring at RS tail going back and forth while Yvonne was reading the letter... so cute!
Happy nursing equals happy tail! When the foals are just born. You know they connect when you see that tail!🥰
I ❤ watching the old clips of Uniek and her little Risey.
Me too, their the best 😂❤ Risey is so cute, mimicking his Mom.
Yvonne it’s not just a hobby it’s your life’s passion too !
We enjoy your videos so much especially Uniek and Risy both of them itching and scratching away 🤣
So funny .
Core I bet they enjoyed all their carrots so sweet of your viewer in Germany xx
How interesting that saying about a picture being worth 1000 words is also in the US. Makes one wonder about the origin. And how many countries it ISN'T in. 😌 Just a hobby?! For all that you do and the hours you spend doing it, I'm sure most or your subscribers ,like me, thought you work for Rein . How phenomenal to find something to do in life that encompasses something you love so much. I won't say lucky because you've obviously worked hard and still do to accomplish your dreams. ]

Good Morning to everyone at Stahl G
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend !!
I like the spelling of Risey, but no matter how you want to spell it we love our Rising Star and Queen Uniek .
❤❤❤❤🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🐴🐎🐎🐴
WOW!!! All this time I've been thinking Yvonne WORKS on the ranch as her JOB! To now know being there is simply her HOBBY blows me away!!! What a blessing that RUclips and selling merchandise might very well earn her MORE than a job there ever would. Absolutely AWESOME!!! 🤟🏾👍🏾👌🏾✌🏾
She had said due to RA she cannot work like she did, she gets to enjoy her hobby lol while raising young sons very busy lady she sure does deserve whatever good comes her way !
Yvonne does get paid by Rein Sr as an employee she just isn’t working constantly training 4 to 5 horses every day like before as back then she worked at a few different stables training horses regularly.Working at Stal G is still her job only it’s not as physically demanding on her body from her RA so doesn’t exacerbate it(having arthritis and chronic pain myself when a flare up his it can make even small movements incredibly painful)The videos/channel were started by Yvonne as her hobby here & there to share what amazing horses Friesian’s are and she does an amazing job Shannon Moderator😊🌟
@@karentaylor414 Yes..she certainly does! Lisa 🌏🇦🇺🐨
@@shannondominguez9725 Thank you Shannon...GOED Zo!
I live for these videos. Rising Star and Uniek scratching at the same time was so cute!
I so agree w Renate...These videos make my day too!!! I am in USA in a small town called Sandy Pond on Lake Ontario...these videos you make bring a world of people together...all for the sheer pleasure of watching you & your herd!!!
Uniek must love her scratching post!!! The acorn doesn't fall far from the tree bc Risey was using it to scratch his neck at same time as Uniek...too cute
I would love it if you could make horse hair bracelets...grey hairs included...I think many of us would buy some!!!
WOW, Rein is very very lucky to have you, Yvonne! You work very hard, in the heat and snow and are very dedicated to the horses. It shows through the videos how much you love them all . I think "Risey" is a good english spelling for Rising Star but either way is cute! Sad that Richtsje and Sjirkje are sold but really looking forward to seeing Gertje and Gea have babies now that they are Provisional Crown (Gertje) and Star (Gea) girls!! Much love from NJ in the USA! We love you Yvonne!!
Plus Ginny and Hester. Hard to believe that in the next year or two, Reintje and Saly will be grandmothers!!
What a beautiful letter!!! Yvonne, you and the horses and all the Stal G family are loved around the world!!! BLESSINGS
Truly you bring the world together. Comments are all so kind. PS, I just found out my sister-in-law (who lives in Texas, I live in Michigan), watches this too. We had a great laugh over this, and the rest of the family just sat confused. Hahaha.
Yvonne. Your videos have brought so much joy to me and clearly to thousands of people around the world. Thank you so much for your dedication. I hope you are financially rewarded for your dedication even though I know this is not why you do this.

I am just glad you bought rising star so you and uniek and rising star can be together no matter how you spell his name.....I just hope the herd continues to help you on your journey to fulfill your plans and dreams for the future
Very nicely stated straight from your heart , how wonderful
Dear Yvonne, what a lovely letter from Renata in Germany. I am so surprised that you are not an employee at Stal G. Rein is incredibly blessed to have you come in every day to take care of his horses and work in his stable. It is lovely that Uniek and Risey can still live there too with all their friends. You have a wonderful life with this hobby, plus your gorgeous wee boys, hubby and your own farm...wow. Then on top of that you make all these amazing videos that thousands of us enjoy every day...I take my hat off to you. Blessings to you... Smiles Bronwyn New Zealand 🤠🐎🇳🇿🤠🐎🇳🇿
Ahahaha Uneik and Risy using their stalls as scratching posts are too funny. When ya got an itch to scratch though, any tool will do!!❤🐎❤🐴❤ Go get some food Yvonne! Gotta keep up your energy! You and Gertje take such great care of the horses. No wonder they love you like they do!!❤
Watching Uniek and Rising Star and thinking of Yvonne 🙏💞🙏
I absolutely love the "clip-clop" sound of the horses walking. Reminds me of Mackinac Island MI in the summer time.
Risy....how CUTE! So adorable! U are so blessed to be surrounded by all those beautiful horses!
From MI. Me too! I love Mackinac Island.
@@sharonmullins1957 Mackinac Island…..what a gorgeous place!
Those are hard working horses on the island. Great place. I'm from Michigan.

Yes! I am originally from Michigan and loved visiting Mackinaw Island…many times! Thank you for stirring up that old memory!
Such a wonderful letter, Renata! Uniek and Rising Star were so cute, itching together. Reina and Reintje look so much alike! Geertje, you made a beautiful braid. Interesting that now Yvonne considers RUclips her job and Stal G her hobby. Life is ever-changing!
I totally agree with you,Linda!!!

Do you think you and Geertige will be able to do another Christmas Stable party 🎉 that was very good sweet seeing all the horses eating special food , thank you Yvonne for ALL you do 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Enjoy Gertja and iFauna together so much. They are adorable together, just their Durch sounds and intonations make me chuckle! Oh baby Risey! likes being read too ! Mem is alert too. See their ears!!! Uniel kcomes over and snorts and listens more. she knows how important she is! Loved by Ifauna !!!! (Yvonne Yvonne!! ). Uneik is more relaxed and happy with a baby I see here then now when Uniek is.. not as relaxed. Uniek
Like something to do? Dance carriage pulling.. so beautiful she is and such a mem and dancer that extra flourish in her dressage work. Want to keep watching. (Great training yvonne too).
Watched the dressage olympics because of Uniek. Unique seemed just relaxed dancing vs doing this routine kind of thing- more nervous less enjoyed?
She’d be super to watch as she danced at 13 - (that video) but at the Olympics.
We love you and the others and all the horses, but especially Uniek and Rising Star.

I thought you (Yvonne) were an employee of Rein, it just shows your love of horses is that HUGE! I think a secret of life is do what you love.💖💖
So did I. Yes , you are so right!
@@maggiemay1434 No Rein & Yvonne aren’t related but they’ve known each other for years and are good friends as well as boss/employee because she works for him. The videos themselves were all started by Yvonne as her hobby to share knowledge and what amazing gentle horses Friesian’s are.
Lol I thought Yvonne and Rein are a married couple that own all the horses as a business 😂😂😂 how did I get it so wrong?
@@Sani-hq5plI think Rein's wife was in a previous video and Yvonne just recently featured her husband.
@@maggiemay1434 I've wondered before what he thought about her filming all the time and if he would be expecting her to be doing something else.
I LOVE the Friesian horses and your videos. My parents were from Friesland (left in 1946 ) so it is a happy reminder for me.
The videos are so caring and special.
The comments are very interesting.
The first video I saw was when Rising Star was united with Uniek for the first time and since then I am hooked!
This comes all the way from Fisherhaven, Western Cape, South Africa.
We have wild horses in our village and across the lagoon next door!
This comes with best wishes for you Yvonne and all the persons associated with the stable.
Risie, or Risey, is so cute!
I ❤️ you sweet Risy. The queen has the itchies. Wish I could have some of Reinje’s hair, she sure enjoys her salon day. My gosh what a beauty with her new hair do.All the horses are so well behaved because they know they are so loved. Yvonne, I thought for sure you were Reins stable manager, as you work so hard and do so many things there, I am so surprised to hear you volunteer, but what a beautiful passion to have.👏👏👏👏🌼🌼🌼
Why so shy ? Yes you make the BEST Horse vids ever , "just Hobby" 😂😂you love what you do and the horses trust you Like no other. The horses dont lie - you are on the right place at the right time. Of corse Come with the content you create with help one of the Most black beautyfull Friesian prinzess and the Most famous foal on you tube Rising star some money - and every Cent YOU DESERVE because you make so many peoples in the World Happy, bring some good and peacefull feeling in the dark days we have. Ty and be the proudest Horse Lady you can. It is a Hobby 😂😂😂😂nope - it is what you love!
Everyone at Stal G seems so friendly toward each other, it is easy to believe that you are all just one big happy family; especially when the children and neighbor boy Rein pitch in to help or to play with the horses.
It's also easy to forget that Stal G is a business. Owner Rein is very kind to open up his breeding stable so we can peak inside and learn a little bit about the way he runs his business. This opportunity to see everything at Stal G, from insemination to the birth of a foal, to the three years of growing up and training for Inspection, to the horses becoming mothers or fathers themselves, is just fabulous!
Thanks to Owner Rein and Yvonne for making these videos possible, and to all of those who work at Stal G, for allowing themselves to be filmed as they work. You are all great people. Thank you. Thank you. THANK YOU!
Gale....adding my thank yous to yours...
I, TOO, WANT TO ADD MY THANKS!! I'VE FALLEN IN LOVE WITH YOUR MAGNIFICENT FRIESIAN HORSES 🐎, THEY ARE SO BEAUTIFUL, FUNNY, SASSY, A LITTLE BIT HARD HEADED - AREN'T WE ALL - BUT SWEET, CUDDLY AND KICKING UP THEIR HEELS - THEY SEEM TO HAVE AND SHOW THE SAME EMOTIONS WE DO - BUT I DON'T THINK I'VE SEEN THEM TURN ON EACH OTHER - SOME PEOPLE COULD LEARN A LOT FROM ANIMALS!! ❤ THESE HORSE'S SEEM TO BOND WITH AND TRUST YOU - THAT'S A TRUE GIFT!! THANK YOU FOR CONTINUING TO SHARE YOUR BEAUTIFUL HORSES AND FRIENDSHIPS WITH US!!
That was hilarious seeing mom and son scratching at the same time. 😂🤣❤Well done Uniek, teaching your baby Rising Star well.🤗😍❤🙏🏽
Well that is a great hobby. Keep making the vlogs. It is helping people feel better, with letters like that you know it is worth it.
I love watching them go stall shopping.
Thank you for sharing Renate's letter with us. Great to hear shared perspectives from around the world. You and Uniek and Rising Star are amazing!
Thanks for sharing the letter with us, I really like learning about other cultures I think it makes one a better person, glad to see Geertje hope everyone is doing well. When it comes to names you can spell them any way you want too he’s your horse if you want to give him a nickname you can spell it any way you want. I am still amazed by Uniek she’s an incredible horse and mother a once in a lifetime animal friend, mine was a feral cat when I was little she was my best friend and after many years I still miss her, how fortunate we have been to have that special friendship. Thanks for sharing with us.
J'adore les chevaux.
In the beginning, I went from thinking you were the owner of the stable to a paid employee & now knowing it is a hobby. You are a very dedicated volunteer, Rein is blessed to have you. The only thing that matters is that you are happy doing what you do, if you weren't, you wouldn't be there.
@@shannondominguez9725 I'm confused because she said at the end that the horses are just a hobby and she just makes a bit from RUclips.
@@shannondominguez9725 Hi!! Ms Shannon, my dear...how has the truth of whether or not Yvonne e works-- or volunteers at Stal G, become so crazy confusing??? Please help us straighten it out, once and for all, as personally, I am completely at a loss...Thank you Honey... Lisa in Los Angeles 🌏🇦🇺🐨. ☮️❤️🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎. 😷. 🌷
@@lisajoyaslanis Hi Lisa believe me when this video came out with Yvonne saying her position at Stal G was simply one of being a volunteer I was surprised and kind of thrown for a loop(in a good way of course)because I like the majority of the family wasn’t expecting it. Yvonne does indeed spend her time at the stable strictly as a volunteer helping Rein Sr care for the horses so she does not get paid. She also said her videos are her main hobby and she does earn some money both from her RUclips account as well as from any purchases followers make buying her merch off the Spring website. Now I don’t know the full background as to why this is or what reasons Yvonne has for sharing this announcement now as some could be private however what I do know is that her arthritis has been giving her a tough time making little movements or walking a few steps incredibly difficult she did share that she is taking medication for it again and that she’s managing it,this I believe was a big part of why she’s easing her workload. As one who deals with chronic pain/early on set arthritis starting in my teens it can be very painful. Yvonne does really seem to enjoy things right now and to me I’m just glad she’s found a way to handle everything where it’s not taking too much of a toll on her body and she’s happy. If Yvonne and her dear horses are content with things then I’m absolutely pleased for them all.💕💕⭐️⭐️🐎🐎
@@kimberlyearly8918 Yes I’ve now clarified that I was in the wrong on this(fully my mistake and I removed my comments about it so I apologize🙈)and Yvonne is NOT getting paid by Rein Sr,her position IS indeed that of a volunteer helping with tend to the daily needs of the herd and chores around the barn including of course her own kids Uniek and Risy. I understand because I too was both surprised and confused by this announcement however I’m simply happy that Yvonne has found a way of managing everything around her that is a lot less stress on her body particularly as her arthritis has been flaring up and that she is happy making videos while earn her money from both them and the sales of her merchandise.(as someone who’s dealt with chronic pain and early onset arthritis from a young teenager it can be quite painful as well as making simple tasks more intimidating and challenging.)I don’t know everything though as there may be things she hasn’t shared to have her privacy I’m glad she’s eased up on her workload and doing something that is easier for her.⭐️🐎😊
@@shannondominguez9725 Now the problem is that I think you commented that to several people and it made it seem like Yvonne was being dishonest. You also put on one of those comments that you were a comment moderator. If that's really the case you should be sure of what you're saying because that made it seem even more like she was being dishonest. Please correct that for her sake and for others that trust and feel like they know her. I see now I missed where you said you removed the comments. I also know all about chronic pain and it's really difficult to navigate life with it. I feel so bad for her!
I appreciate Rein. He's doing his best for this breed. He may make money and that's his due. Wish there were more like all these people at the stables
You have a great hobby and take good care of horses
Reintje is such a beautiful mare.
Lovely letter! I hope Uniek and friends liked the carrots!🐴🥕
Don't get stressed about Risy or Risey. You are the first person to change "rising" into a diminutive. I vote for RISY!❤
Queen Uniek just is so Amazing love how she scratches her leg an cutest was she look over at RS too see if he was doing it correctly so ADORABLE ❤ she taught him well. Them Beautiful horses are just Breath taken but Queen Uniek an RS has my heart💞💞💞💞💞💞💞🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎SUPER GREAT VIDEO 💞
Cally him starry. The vlog that brings tears to my eyes is when riding star first met uniek.
Good Morning Yvonne and too the horses. Love love the Queen and her little red Prince😘😘😍😍
Oh wow, I had wondered also about your job..I hope you make mega bucks with your youtube videos!!!! Love Risey and Uniek!!!
Well, Rising Star 🌟has learned from Uniek. To find an easy way to scratch, when you have an itch. I'm sure it is not the only thing he has learned from her.
Geertje, the braids look really nice for being one of your first attemps.
Renate, das war ein sehr schöner Brief. Ich denke, Du hast damit ausgedrückt, was sehr viele hier denken. Schön war auch, dass Du dich getraut hast auf Englisch zu schreiben. Schöne Grüsse aus Bayern nach Hessen.
I enjoy your hobby everyday! Would consider offering another water bottle with the picture of Uniek and Rising Star? I love the one with the young mares and I would like another for work. It was an amazing purchase because it keeps water cold all day. And it goes well with my Uniek bag and pillow
Wonderful 🥰❤️🐴💖🐴🐴🐴
Thank you for that information about your position at Stal G. I think Rein is the most fortunate of people to have an amazing woman like you to volunteer their time and efforts for the horses. I realize the profit margin is probably very small in running Stal G---undoibtedly when the place was a dairy it wasn't financially making huge profits. Yvonne you are such an amazing person to pour so much love into Stal G. I see that love in the eyes of everyone you've shown us in videos.

Now knowing that your work in the stable is a hobby, I'm so glad that you are able to make some money from these videos. I know the videos are alot of work. Also, through these videos you are bringing more awareness to the Friesian horse breed and how special they are, which hopefully help's Rein's work in their preservation, too.
It was nice to get to see your hubby he is a handsome man and fortunate to have you because I believe women who love animals have bigger hearts and make better wives and mothers. I pray Gods blessings on you and your family and I pray the same for Geertje Janet and their families. You and Geertje are perfect for these videos. Another thing I like is both of you aren’t fake you are being yourselves and you don’t act like you are better than anyone else and that makes your videos even better. You’re doing great just keep doing what you’re doing. Are all the people in your country as nice as you Ceertje and Janet?
Still the old lady from Texas U.S.A.
That’s an awesome Hobby, Yvonne! It’s perfect too because you can house Uniek and Risy for now there and see all the other beautiful Friesians, Sjors, Johnny and Waulobet! I’m happy to hear your channel is doing well and hopefully you will get a million subscribers one day. Thanks for the great videos.😀😀😀😀

Yvonne, your beautiful videos are just wonderful. Before seeing them, I had only seen the Friesian horse in videos. Thank you to you & Rein for sharing both your & the horses lives with us. I don’t know if I’ll ever have the opportunity to visit the Netherlands, so thank you again for showing the beautiful towns, countryside & other stables. I also appreciate your sharing the keurings & history of the Friesian horses. I’ve even gone online to the KFPS & FHANA websites. It’s just amazing what those organizations & responsible breeders have done to develop this beautiful breed when they only had 1 stallion about 100 years ago! I hope that I will one day have the chance to see a Friesian horse in person one day! Keep doing what you do. You have brought much happiness to many people around the world! 💕

I thought it was your job! You love your work with the horses so much, this is why it shows the love you have for them, shines thru in your videos! I love seeing Geertje, too! Knowing how special Geertje and your friendship is, makes it extra special watching the two of you! I am in USA, Southern California. Thank you so much Yvonne, for your lovely videos of the horses, your family, and everyone who works at the stables! I love seeing the countryside there! It is so different from where I live! It looks so beautiful where you live! It looks like you have small villages there, not near big cities. So beautiful! Thank you again, for brightening my days!🌞🐎💖🌞🐎💖🌞🐎💖🌞🐎💖🌞🐎💖
❤❤❤❤😘💪
That was a fantastic letter from Renata in Germany, it made me tear up actually to hear the joy that I get watching these videos are shared around the world. I am in Canada. All the horses are amazing...I am partial to Rising Star, to me is not an orphan he is a little fighter...and Johnny 'cause he is my kind of crazy! Stay safe everyone. God Bless.
First for Renate. I use translator, so maybe not best German. Sehr schöner Brief Renate. Sie sagen, was viele von uns auch fühlen. Vielen Dank für freundliche Worte und Geschenk. Sei gesund. Second, Geertje always makes me smile with her fun personality. Third, Yvonne is not employee of Rein Stal Goëngamieden anymore (hobby now) but we can know they help each other out in many ways. 👍
Pake Jeffje ..Thank you so much...was totally confused...some one forgot to bring Shannon up to speed??? Man!!!
( hate to be her this moment...but stuff happens, then is past..) How are you doing, Jeffje??? Lisa 🌏🇦🇺🐨🤔
Yvonne I love all your video’s they bring much joy in watching and I love Geertje’s smile and how you too connect with the horses!! I can really feel like I’m on the farm there with your videos , the way you include everything from the beautiful fields, weather, clean barns, grooming, vet visits, dogs, cats, Geertjie’s and your children. I especially find your very soft spoken way to be very soothing not only for the horses but for all of us as well, so thank you for all the enjoyable video’s!!!
I love uniek and baby
I love it when Geertje is in the videos! She's such a wonderful person and you always have such fun together. Her daughter Faya has a wonderful heart too 💜
You should spell his name like this: Risie. I never knew much about horses, but I’ve learned so much about them. They’re so sweet and beautiful. I watch all your videos to relax and learn. I didn’t know about her behavior or that horses were easily frightened of new things. Thank you so much. By the way, I teach English as a second language. Your English is quite good. Your accent is impressive. It sounds American.
Lol Uniek and Risy😂 Today at my barn, I was taking the school horses back out to their pasture but someone had left the gate open to a paddock that a couple of pony mares go into. So the school horses decided they liked that paddock and went in there. I tried herding them out, but it didn’t work. Tried with a bucket of pellets, almost worked. One of the other barn hands came out and helped and we got them back in their pasture. So I had an interesting day😂😂
On the plus side, I got to cuddle some with the Friesian mare Naomi. Now that winter’s coming, she’s turning jet black again.
I almost cried, what a letter. You do have a lot of people around the world who love you, even tho we watch to see those beautiful happy horses. I like the green meadows and blue sky with big puffy clouds
Great hobby! The baby rising star is my fav...
A hobby…hm? You must have done a difficult study to doe this ‘hobby’!
You know so much about horses and the different behaviour from horses and the herd …. all the care you give to them and last but not least, your medical knowlege about horses health, insamination (you did this voor Uniek yourself!!) and what to do if one of them is not well .….is very impressive!! 👍👍👍
Thank you Yvonne for scharing this with us!❤️
I had assumed you were a paid employee, but you do all the work out of pure love! Goed zo!!❤
Good morning! 😀 Were your ears burning? I talked about you to my niece and nephew on Thanksgiving!! The fabulous Friesians, Uniek, the miracle of Rising Star, Yvonne and all the stable, mares and foals, and Johnny! My niece has her own horse, something of a quarter horse blend (I think). I think I take my cue from you about Risy? Or Risey? First time I saw a shortened name I believe it was Risy. That baby is a very blessed colt! Trying to learn horse etiquette! (What is my behavior toward a strange horse). I would never without the owner being there!! Geertje you braid very well, thanks to Faya I’m sure!! I see you have had wet weather. Stay dry! Stay safe.❤️
❤❤❤
Yvonne, I’m so happy that taking care of the Friesian horses is your hobby and not something like collecting beer caps🙃 You really are the perfect ambassador for this beautiful breed and I’ve learned so much about them because of you🙏
Renate wrote you a very sweet letter and 👑Uniek and her friends were lucky with the treat🥕🥕🥕🥕🥕
Hi Geertje, it’s always a pleasure to see your beautiful smile🧡 The braids were beautiful. I practiced a lot with my daughter’s hair, but it was never very successful😮💨
Wishing Yvonne a complete and speedy recovery. 🙏
I love Unieks fun way of scratching her itchy leg, it always looks funny when she's rubbing it against the lip of the door
It's funny that the 1st time I saw her do that I thought she was trying to copy Yvonne and step out of her stall. 😂
The itch is mud fever and is highly irritating to her.
@@marthakratz7877 Oh, Nooo! Luckily, she simply had the itchies.....😜🌷
Would oatmeal powder work? And mint
Are the manes naturally curly wavy. What letter has been written I haven't seen a letter yet which country are your stable in
Well, that makes so much sense that this is a beloved hobby for Yvonne. It's why she can take care of the horses with the love that she has for them without feeling the pressure of just "doing her job." It's not simply a job...but her passion...and the horses can probably sense that too. And, her videos are such a gift for all of us who have...fortunately...found this channel...😊
The Queen looking beautiful as always 😁
It's awesome the way you care for those horses. The rewards must be so good for you and the stable. The RUclips channel is wonderful. God bless you. 🐎🙋🏼♀️
I rode almost my whole life and unfortunately from health problems I couldn’t be around them for a while - but i was just hired as a riding instructor and it’s fantastic, wish some of the horses I work with could be as well behaved as yours! Lol But horse love is for life 💜 Rising Stars journey especially is so incredible and thank you for letting all of us be a part of it!
Lol. Unik done taught her boy a habit except he scratches behind his ear or neck? That was so funny!
I have to wonder if "Hobby" means something different to Yvonne than it does to those of us in the states. Maybe she means she works there sort of as a volunteer and Rein pays her in trade (riding Reintje in competitions). Regardless, I have to believe to Rein, Yvonne and the other human herd members are vital in the stable. Love the channel. Keep up the wonderful work!
I look forward every morning to see these beautiful horses. You all are so kind to them and it shows. Thank you for all you do and share.
Well, that was a surprise! I thought Yvonne worked at the stables...you r the herd leader! Thank goodness your photography and editing skills w/ RUclips gives u some funds!
I love your hobby 😊 I love love horses. Always have. You are very blessed to be there with them. You are right also about the stables being so peaceful. I am very thankful that you do make these videos.
This is a great channel with so much to learn,enjoy, and think about.Thank you! I've never had a horse decide to be friends with me but this makes me want that someday.
..letter from Reinham.....that name " Rein" is Sooo popular ! 👍😁. Hi, Rein, Young Rein, Little Rein, and Yvonne's Papa Rein!! ( Have I missed any Reins??) Not forgetting Reintje and Reina, of course..
I had a quarterhorse palomino in junior high school and she was lovely - such a wonderful love between us. She would put her neck over my shoulder and just stand with her head resting on my shoulder. I loved her so much! Later in life I had another palomino - 16 hands. He was beautiful - a big boy! I got him as a yearling and then at around 9 yr old had to sell him due to life circumstances. He went to a woman that loved him and had a wonderful home and company at their stable. Someday I would love to have another horse. I hope I get that opportunity again.
I love watching this because Yvonne has so much knowledge about these lovely horses and it never gets old watching them. Thank you for promoting this breed and sharing them with us. Yvonne is as precious as her horses! You are a wonderful role model as far as pushing yourself to do all you can with your hobby and taking care of yourself and a family. ❤️🙏🐎
@@cheriedewald5282 I hope so too, Cherie..remember Yvonne.."Work hard . Dream big"... Good luck... Lisa 🌏🇦🇺🐨
Relaxing video,
Thank you Yvonne for what you do. We all love you and and all the horses.
So glad you and Rein are such good friends to have this arrangement. It works well for everyone.
This is definitely one of the best channels on RUclips and it is my personal favorite.
I have no doubt it will continue to grow and prosper.
When I watch it I feel like we are all personal friends of everyone at Stal G.
I even see people on other channels mentioning they watch this channel in comments.
Yvonne, you are amazing💕
Yvonne, what a privilege to have such a great hobby! I thank you for making the videos often!
Can you explain what is a beautiful or luxurious head for a Friesian horse, please?
...just look at GEA...she is a good example!
Whatever your position is you and your friends have brought so much joy TY o the world with all the beautiful horses. So many of us look forward everyday to another video.I have told a friend about the horses and was so excited he said maybe we could go for a drive to see them.I had to break the news to him you can't drive from Cleveland.Ohio to the Netherlandd. He was so disapointed.
🚙⛽️⛽️⛽️⛽️⛽️😂😂😂
Uniek with her trusty itchy leg I sometimes find myself looking to see if she does it whenever she’s inside it makes me smile and it’s her own special little quirk she’s the best. Both she and Reintje looked so glamorous and content standing quietly for their appointment at the Stal G grooming station they really seem to enjoy the one on one pampering it makes them feel good and I’m happy whenever the herd is happy. Yvonne you & Geertje are hilarious together I know my morning will be that much better after watching the Yvonne & Geertje comedy routine awesome job on the braids by the way they looked beautiful.💖💖🐎🐎
A hobby? Wow.. living your dream. 🐎 ❤
I did get a chuckle out of 25 degrees celsius being "too hot". Having been to the Netherlands I do understand how different your weather is to my state of Texas but it still brings a smile. I really laughed when my Dutch friends came here to stay with me. We would go out in my yard to sit and drink iced tea and I would always position my chair in the shade and they would choose the sunny spot. When I told them I thought that was actually a bad idea as they would get overheated and sunburned they told me they were soaking up the sunshine they rarely got at home! But I'm sure the horses appreciated getting out of the heat. Yvonne, your hobby is a job as we see through your videos the time and effort it takes to do all the things you and everyone at the stable does to keep these horses healthy and happy. Thanks for taking the time to post all of it for us to share in your hobby!
When I finally went home..after 20 plus years absence, the weather in my home State( South Australia) was Sooo chilly, at 29degrees! On returning to Los Angeles, stepped off the plane, into a warm 70f. Evening...first time felt warm in a month! Climatic differences are amazing...in that case, chilly!!
I was laughing too. It's never 25 degrees in the day here, unless we get several days of rain storms. Usually 30 - 35 degrees. From 10 am to 4 pm, nobody goes outdoors if they can help it. Mention sunbathing, and everyone looks at you weirdly. The horses we have here are also short-haired breeds, even so I feel sorry for them because of how hot it is.
@@Min-tr1ml We are now, in our approach to winter, starting to get temps at 25c and even lower. But in the summer of course gets to above 35c. And like you said, we all avoid going out or doing outside work if we can during the hottest part of the day. Though you do get used to it; the children at school go outside for recess when it is 37c and above. No one thinks anything of it. I'm having fun using these celsius temperatures; I usually think in fahrenheit. I keep asking myself "is this right?" and having to google the answer!
I would write "Risey"
Rein is lovely. This is a tight knit family. Please take your negativity elsewhere. They have a team and it works beautifully! The proof is in the pudding! 💕🥰👍🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻Goed zo!
Must be nice to just relax and calmly braid all that hair, a pretty summer day. The smell of warm hay and horses in the summer is something special. I have braided a Spanish stallion's mane that way once, it was satisfying to see the way it turned out. No more tangles left!
