I didn't know that Elsja was the mother of Jacobien. mother and daughter are beautiful and I have a special place in my heart for Jacobien! I am glad you weren't hurt that time Elsje threw you and I pray you are healing more and more now every day! Prayers for continued healing!
It's always so sad to see the horses sold after they've been there for a number of years. If you ever have the time, would love to see a photo compilation of those horses in their new homes...kind of a video photo Collage. We miss them!! 🥰
I am a fairly new subscriber. I have been trying to watch as many videos as possible in order to "catch up" with everything as well as to support Yvonne as she recovers. It is very helpful to learn about the various horses that have come & gone, and those who remain, and i like hearing the stories about their antics. I enjoyed this video because it was all horse - very peaceful and relaxing.
Thank you Yvonne for all the information that you share with us. I live in the USA but, I feel like I am in the arena with you as you explain about precious Elsja and her foals. You are an excellent teacher!!!
Being able to see videos of dear horses who have moved on helps to keep us connected to the ongoing life and history of Stal G, oce just a gleam in Rein’s eye!
After all this time I’ve just now brought myself to watch this video. I read some of the comments and found that our amazing Eljse is still with us. I was absolutely terrified something bad was happening. We will miss her so much but I’m grateful that she’s not ill. I pray that she has a happy long life with her new forever family. ♥️♥️♥️ thank you so much for keeping us posted with all the “goings on” with our beautiful Friesian Angels. It would be terrible to just have one of them come up missing and not know the reason. 🌹
Elsje is such a beautiful mover. Watching you both together is a joy. You are right about Friesians though. They are such wonderful learners. My barn owner (who was also my riding instructor) rides Shade because I can’t right now. She always marvels and brags on how smart he is and how he remembers so well. Though he is half Percheron, his mind is Friesian. Elsje’s new family is lucky to have such a lovely girl. I’m sure they will treasure her as much as you do. ❤️
What a relief. I was so worried that something terrible had happened I almost didn’t watch the video. Canada’s a lovely country. Best of luck to Elsje at her new home.
Thank you, Yvonne...I knew nothing of Elsje, other than she was Freida' s Mem.....and liked to be in charge of the Mares.... She was beautiful.... Am sure they appreciated her in Canada! Daan and Hendrik were beautiful colts....
Humm, from the title, i was expecting something horrible happen to her...phew!! Besides we wont see her again, glad she is fine and hopefully live out the same happy life in the wonderful land of Canada..best wishes ❤❤Elsje❤❤!
Free Speech why is it tragic? I lived in Canada all my life and it’s pretty ok. The only downside is the certain issue going on with the rest of the world and the occasional rude person.
Elsje looks so relaxed there. I am sure she will have a great life in Ontario. It must take some planning to get her there. Yes, they have great character. I think they like people.
I've seen some of your other videos with Elsje in them and she is beautiful! Her foals are gorgeous as well. Thanks for sharing! She will be missed I'm sure but, you really made someone in Canada happy!
I kind of see it as retirement. She did her job and was well compensated! As much as I love the foals, I hope Elsja's foal days are over. I hope now she can take it easy and relax at a new home with a family who will pleasure-ride and give her a nice pasture to graze!
What a beautiful tribute to a beautiful mare. I loved watching her & Jacobein in the fields as her filly grew up. I know she misses her old home & friends (human & Equine) but she's so sweet she's made new ones. Thank you for her story. 💓💗💕💕🥰😘👍😘
The decisions stud farms need to make must be hard and sad but sensible. We will miss her too. Has Uniek taken Elsje's place as herd leader? Bucking you off is a memory of her you will never forget lol Good luck Elsje in your new and loving home. Thank you ❣️
Lovely story! I was on a trail ride with my new horse of a few weeks. In the middle of the woods a little girl jumped in front of us from out of nowhere. Alya stopped suddenly and I went flying over her head landing hard in front of her feet. She stood there and leaned down to sniff me "what are you doing?" Lucky me! She didn't run back to the stable. My ankle was twisted. Ayla walked back with me on her back. 🙃
I’m gonna miss her🙁she’s such a beautiful horse!! I am so attached to the horses in your stable!! I’m a little sad! But I wish her the very best in her new home! xoxoxo💜
So now one of your beautiful horses, Elsje, is living in the same place as me!! That is so exciting!! To have such a quality horse here, to bring in new blood lines to some of the Friesian Horses we have in Canada, makes me feel proud. After this virus is contained, maybe I will see her, and if I do, I will say hello and give her a scratch or two for you. Many blessings to you, your family, the barn owner and his family for continued good health. From Ontario, Canada, Jenn.
Jesus..so many dumb comments ! Else's life ...her sole purpose is to be bred over and over and over again . Period ! Six foals and counting . She didn't go to a retirement home . She's being bred again..and again .For an 11 year old mare trotting around the arena...she looked 20 years old. Beautiful horse but how many times do you breed a mare before it takes a toll physically on her. It's all about money . Stop talking like she's your best friend . You pop out 6 kids...then go to Canada and do it again . Wonderful life .
@@jackiefitzpatrick2906 frankly my dear i quiet agree with you, i rescued a stallion this morning and he's at my ranch with me. i have been told owner don't want him any more because hes to old to breed now. he's only 5 year's old. i will be taking her to court for cruelty to this stallion and having all horse's toke away from her. most are in foal too.
It is indeed sad to have to miss an animal, but inevitable if you have to make a living this way and you should be proud of your efforts to produce these beautiful animals for posterity, and with such care, dedication and responsibility. Sad, yes, for those who have looked after her, bonded with her, but not really, she is fine, she is gorgeous, and she will make her next owners extremely happy. Wish I could afford to buy one of your gorgeous charges. And wishing Elsje the best of life
It must be hard to be a breeder, because you can’t keep all the horses😢 I am a big fan of Elsje and I think her new owners are very lucky to have her👍🏻 But I understand, that you have to change the horses, when you breed - and maybe now you can keep Elsje’s daughter - and my no 1 horse - Jacobien 💜❤️💙😂
I'm at least glad Elsje is okay! I thought she had been ill. How sad, she had a strong personality and was always easy to find in the herd! I'll miss ya, leadmare Elsje o7 I hope you keep Jacobien for a while! She's one of my favorites alongside Lianne!
I will miss her 🥺😩😫😥I hope her baby comes out beautiful please keep us posted hugs to all the horses I know they will miss her also 🥺🤔🤗 happiness to all 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I will miss seeing beautiful Elsje, and wish her good health and a long, happy life in Canada. (I bet Reintje won't miss her so much!😉) If you receive videos of her from her new home, will you please post them? All of the horses are so special to us. Thanks, Yvonne.
I’m finally early!!!😁😁 love you guys! {edit} I have enjoyed seeing her so much! I’m glad that we’re you sold her she’ll still get loved and taken care of. (Not saying you guys didn’t you did all of it❤️)
Ontario nice. It’s green and humid. She be use to that. Breaks my heart every time yous sell a horse yous have had for awhile. But that’s what yous do for a living.. Ontario and Alberta are the two rich provinces in Canada. Your horses will do well when sold to Canada ........
Greetings from Ontario, Canada - that's very interesting to know that Elsja is here somewhere ! Did she go to farm west of Toronto again ? My mare threw me off once years ago also and ran like the wind back to the barn . A friend told me that he had had a horse hitched to cart that ran back to the barn and broke the door down to get in .
Like everyone else , almost didn't want to watch in case there was a sad ending. I had holsteiners my whole life, my last one, a mare, Eleanora, is now 23 and as old as I am. While I'll never think there is a better horse than the holsteiner, the friesian is a close second. Always admired their calm nature and somewhat " warmblood" characteristics and of course their stunning natural impulsion. Too old to take any chances on this old body, so I enjoy so much watching your videos and your personal interaction. Must say , however, Uniek is the most gorgeous beautiful friesen I've ever seen. Wow, what a stunner. Best wishes for elsje , I'm sure she will be well looked after.
Canada then became The Lucky Country .... She's Hendrick's mama?? So like Hendrik! She is a smooth gaited mare, must be great to ride her... Thanks for showing her to the world to admire....
I’ll miss Elsje and her antics! Particularly her love of food! If I recall correctly she’s the ranking mare who’s in charge. Who will step up and take her place?
@@LindaEll89 Wasn't it Elsje who wouldn't eat the bananas in the 'Do Friesian horses like bananas' video? This seemed to be of particular surprise because she likes her grub.
That was a nice ride -- beautiful horse and very good rider -- well matched in the ring but not so good out on the trail, huh!!?? Haha! She's wonderful.
Elsja is beautiful and she has certainly had some beautiful foals....including my favourite, Jacobien!!
I too have a huge liking for Jacobien!
Lisa 🇦🇺🐨👍🐎🌷
Jacobien is my favorite too 💞
Hopefully Elsje is still doing fine today in Canada. Good girl❣
I didn't know that Elsja was the mother of Jacobien. mother and daughter are beautiful and I have a special place in my heart for Jacobien! I am glad you weren't hurt that time Elsje threw you and I pray you are healing more and more now every day! Prayers for continued healing!
Rewatching for Yvonne

Same here!
Wishing Yvonne a complete and speedy recovery. 🙏

Beautiful horse. I'm sure she's bringing happiness to her new owners. 🙏🐎🐎🐎🐎🥕🥕🥕🥰

I was very hesitant to watch this,worried she passed. I'm very happy she is happy in her new home
She will be missed. Beautiful!😘💜💜
Thank you, Yvonne...I knew nothing of Elsje, other than she was Freida' s Mem.....and liked to be in charge of the Mares....

Glad she is fine. Oh, and by the way the province comes first then the country. So the way to say it is she's living in Ontario Canada. Lol
I was waiting for that other shoe to drop, too ~ phew! Question for Yvonne: how many foals can a mare have safely? ♥
I agree almost was afraid to watch, to me a fairly happy ending
Free Speech why is it tragic? I lived in Canada all my life and it’s pretty ok. The only downside is the certain issue going on with the rest of the world and the occasional rude person.
Clickbait
Elsje looks so relaxed there. I am sure she will have a great life in Ontario. It must take some planning to get her there. Yes, they have great character. I think they like people.
You are such a nice quiet rider and soft hands, lovely to watch.
Wonderful story. what is sad is no matter how much you, and us, care for and love these horses it is still a business.
Aww i miss her and her healthy appetite!
Thanks. A delightful horse.
I've seen some of your other videos with Elsje in them and she is beautiful! Her foals are gorgeous as well. Thanks for sharing! She will be missed I'm sure but, you really made someone in Canada happy!
I kind of see it as retirement. She did her job and was well compensated! As much as I love the foals, I hope Elsja's foal days are over. I hope now she can take it easy and relax at a new home with a family who will pleasure-ride and give her a nice pasture to graze!
Elsje looks beautiful, she's on the bit and going forward gracefully. I'd be heartbroken to lose a horse like her
I was glad to learn so much about Elsje.
I'm addicted to this channel.
I love horses...and donkeys.
Ya'll need a couple donkeys.
They are the BOMB.
I will miss her as I'm sure everyone will, but I'm glad that nothing happened to her and that she'll be living happily in Canada.
I’m so sorry she is no longer with you. May she find happiness in her Canadian home.
What a beautiful tribute to a beautiful mare. I loved watching her & Jacobein in the fields as her filly grew up. I know she misses her old home & friends (human & Equine) but she's so sweet she's made new ones. Thank you for her story. 💓💗💕💕🥰😘👍😘
She loved food and was the boss on the green 👍
Another one coming to Canada! Wow! I’m going to miss seeing Elsje. I wish her a good life here in Canada! ❤️🇨🇦
The decisions stud farms need to make must be hard and sad but sensible. We will miss her too. Has Uniek taken Elsje's place as herd leader? Bucking you off is a memory of her you will never forget lol Good luck Elsje in your new and loving home. Thank you ❣️

You have a great horse, happy she waited for you!
Beautiful thumbprint photo! I enjoyed getting to know Elsje, and I will miss seeing her. It must have been so hard for you to say goodbye!
Shevis a beautiful girl. Glad she had so many offspring to pass on her good genes. Will miss seeing her.
Elsje is such a beautiful horse! Deserves all the love and support for her and her new owner!!
Fresians have such ground-covering, yet relaxed-looking gaits! And are so beautiful to watch =)
Beautiful, regal inhabitants of our world. I wish that the bridle were not so restrictive- let them be free, high and proud.
The bridle is not tight.... But the head position is teaching them better balance... Yvonne has explained this in her videos .
Lisa 🇦🇺🐨👍
Dear Yvonne, I really love these commentaries you post about the history of the horses. Thank you so much.
It was a treat to watch her. Nice to hear that she is in CANADA Ontario.
You two look fantastic together! What a beautiful team you make. Thanks for sharing. I will miss her too. God bless.
Beautiful Elsje, so kind of you to allow her beauty to be shared.. 😉😊
Supporting Yvonne🌹
💞🍀💖
Rewatching for Yvonne. 😎
,💖🍀💞
She is such a beautiful
Horse, thank you for sharing her video
Thank you for talking about this lovely, versatile mare. It must have been a long walk back from the woods with a bruised bottom! 🙃 💜
I’m gonna miss her🙁she’s such a beautiful horse!! I am so attached to the horses in your stable!! I’m a little sad! But I wish her the very best in her new home! xoxoxo💜
Good by and good luck, boss lady! May you be lead mare in your next herd, as well 😉🥕🥕🥕
So Beautiful to watch you ride ♥️ I am in Ontario 🇨🇦 and I have a very good friend who is a Friesian fancier 😁 perhaps I will see her
So now one of your beautiful horses, Elsje, is living in the same place as me!! That is so exciting!!

Great story, and oh ran back home without you😂

I will miss her so much. Does she speak Canadian? She has given me many happy moments watching her and her sweet nature.
In Canada, English and French are spoken... So I guess not!
😁🐎🌷🇳🇱
She was a beautiful horse
I live in Ontario Canada and it is a good place for horses. Thank you for the beautiful video
I'm glad to hear that I have a new Friesian neighbor here in Ontario. Thank you for the video......p.s. how is Klaske?
I'm glad it wasn't tragic news also, but you will miss her
Beautiful ❤
She is gorgeous...
Elsje is such a beauty! 🖤. Oh! And nice hat😊.
She is dam to my favorite foal, Jacobien!
Ohhhh it must be so hard to pass your Beautiful horses on, to sell. Thank you for sharing your horses.
That was a nice ride -- beautiful horse and very good rider -- well matched in the ring but not so good out on the trail, huh!!?? Haha! She's wonderful.
Lieve mooie Elsje, wat zal ik haar missen, ik heb zo van haar genoten😍maar als zij gelukkig is in Ontario, dan is het goed! Dag lieve Elsje 🥕😘
