I stumbled across your channel a couple of years ago, I watch religiously but don’t usually comment. I just wanted to say that I really appreciate your work, the way you portray Blackpool in a positive light is fantastic. It’s a gem of a channel. Thank you ❤️❤️
Blackpool council take note - to have those horses working in those conditions is abuse and cruel. If this is acceptable in your town then you need to sort yourselves out.
@@nigeljohnston1148 they are cart horses not show ponies! How do you think horses lived before they were "domesticated" by humans? They would have been out in the wild exposed to the elements, not kept in comfort in a stable being groomed!
@@______1799 what a load of nonsense. In the wild they take shelter - turn their backs into the wind. In this instance you think it’s acceptable that their eyes get filled with sand - really?
@@______1799they do get very very overworked from morning to midnight maybe which is disgusting.poor horses need a break and a drink of water now and then,let's face it here would you like to be treated like that?? Overworked I understand that is what the horses do again they should NOT be ill treated no break,no food or water.Disgusting
@@stephanieboond1564 if the horses weren't happy they wouldn't be pulling the cart. Have you ever tried to control a stubborn/knackered horse? How do you know they aren't being fed and watered? They aren't skin and bone so obviously are well fed. They are horses specifically reared to work hard like certain breeds of dog are bred for specific tasks. They are tougher than you think.
Thanks for braving the elements, be safe. Have a look tomorrow morning and see how much damage there's been, hopefully everyone got home safely. And hopefully they take the horses home now.
Agreed, but unfortunately the people who own them, don't give a s**t about them, as long as they are making money! that's why I would never ride them when in Blackpool no matter what! If they aren't getting rides, they won't put the horses (and donkey's on the beach) through what they do!! AVOID if you love animals!!!
I applaud you Stephen for making such a tremendous effort and shooting a video in such adverse weather conditions..the sandstorm was unbelievable too..I hope all the lighting displays and the marquee survived storm Ashley. 👏😳
Thanks for venturing out in that weather for us Stephen i can't believe that in that weather the horse and carts are still on the promenade take care and STAY SAFE
Imagine fighting the First World War with you types around! You would be speaking German now. Millions of horses were used in WW1 and helped to beat the enemy. Horses are tough.
@@Fingleshamyes they might be tough as you call it but that doesn't mean they should be overworked without a break food or water the owners need reporting
Go tell the people who are working the horses, oh no, you won't will you because they would drop you where you stand lol instead you moan about it on here
Thanks for braving the weather Stephen, another great video. Will never understand why they would put up a marquee with a big light display on the prom, they should have put it further back. Felt for the poor horses, they should have stopped when the weather deteriorated further. Xx
That was a great video Stephen the blowing sand was incredible, and the lights tonight just seemed brighter than ever just fab. Hope Storm Ashley doesn’t cause, any more damage in Blackpool.
I remember this sort of sandstorm in the 1960s. Dad would get us up at about 5.00 a.m. to walk on the beach, obviously depending on the tide. How it hurt my legs as we wore skirts and socks then. Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Thanks for going out in that sandblasting event and sharing the video. 👍
Hi new subscriber here to your channel, I feel so sorry for the horses as there made to work without a break.i once asked one of the horses owners to give the horse a drink of water, the man was quite rude and said I need to mind my own business, there was steam coming off the horse, and the poor thing had all white froth around and inside it's mouth. They do get overworked.
Stephen..Thank you very much indeed for all the work that goes into the makings of each and every video.myself and husband went to Blackpool walking along the sea front my right trainer stuck to the floor hubby askede why i couldn't move, because my trainer was stuck to the ground,i was a mixture of chewing gum,candy floss and orange drink that i had trodden in.weve got a new car and no way could i of got back in the car with all that nonsense all on my trainers so had to buy a pair of flipflops 😅 love 💖 Blackpool.been going there since the 1960's Thanks again for the video 😊
You was brave tonight with all that stormy weather, great vid, and yes the council definitely had a job on tonight securing the stuff on the promenade.
Great walk around and very interesting and nice houses so close to the prom hope you got home ok and safe Stephen but would like to say thanks for the stuff you do for us even in major storms but have to say when you were on the beach and showed the illuminations from there they looked absolutely amazing and just fabulous even walking along the prom really enjoyed so colourful and great shot of the ABC train👍Thanks again and take care until next time 😁Pauline from Blackpool living in Canada 🍁
Hi, another great video, it started off nice and calm but the winds sure got up! Great shots of the sand whirling on the beach! Mother Nature is amazing sometimes.ill leave the ride in the big one lol!
Best video of Windy Blackpool, and yeah, comments are amazing, too. Thanks, stevie, going outside with yah camera. Proper brilliant, and I hope you were ok 👍 you do anything for yah fans 😅❤
I lived in Scarborough for 10 years>> lovely different but what Blackpool gets in terms of weather extremes is more.. great documentation.. keep it up pal.
@@Demag.FrederickGeorgeES I'd take snow over the wet and wind here, it's a nightmare in winter. Cold, wet, salty, windy and humid is a deadly combo if you're out in it for long. Down jackets don't last 5 minutes, they should stress-test gorete here 😂
Hi there Steve me and my dad are huge fans of you channel and we were talking before about the storm and the video you posted and we would like to know if you were able to do a video of the journey between Star gate and Fleetwood Ferry many thanks
wow stephen you were so brave being out in that , the wind so strong, looked scary. I must admit on the beach the sandstorm looked epic. felt sorry for the horses though
Stephen. What an incredible video ! Such exciting scenes. I was having tea snugly in Fleetwood. But heard the roars of the storm and everything was rattling! Thank you for the video. X
Gosh Stephen looking bad there in blackpool hope you kept safe, such a shame,all the hard work for the light pool and the marquee, hope everyone was safe there taking it down, stay safe Stephen thanks again for your continued hard work for your channel fans, bye 😊xx

Stephen, a little bit of statistical trivia... you've said " oh my goodness" over 175,169 times in total on all your productions...Now that's going some.
What's gets me Stephen is how selective this storm was, you have bravely shown us what it was like in Blackpool yet here in West Yorks we got hardly nothing yet going into North Yorks they got it quite bad. Weird 🤔 Thanks again Stephen.
I used to own a house in the posh area (as you call it Stephen) on North Prom in St.Annes this is the weather I remember most, I always lost roof tiles and spent half of the next day clearing sand from the front yard.
Yes Stephen the Gales have been bad here 😅 I've been out picking neighbours dustbins up that been blown over. I was surprised at the people out and about. Another great video Stephen thank you 😊

thank you for going out in it so we can share the drama from the comfort of our homes
Those poor horses being made to work in that. Shame!
You know in the days before cars? Horses were used.
Yes but do you know it's 2024 and them days are long gone @@danielledewitt1

Stop being so fragile, those horses are tougher than you think and probably aren't too bothered at all. Get a grip.

I feel for the horses. We get sand blasts more often in Lincolnshire aspecially near the coast. The wind is 40mph where I live

I've been in one of those Blackpool sandstorms. Painful. You braved through it well, Stephen👍
In the old days before the promenade was extended,the sand blasting was far worse!

Thanks Diane. I will.
Those poor horses that is really cruel

Good evening Stephen. thank you for going out filming in this stormy weather . hope you stay safe. see you in the next one. xxx

Brilliant footage. Hope those horses are ok
Thanks Stephen. I feel sorry for anyone that's homeless and has to spend nights like this on the streets.
Well said Martin. X
Youve captured the lighting ,its really atmospheric. I could have been back in Blackpool .
