    The most beautiful horse I ever saw, like something from a legend, was a pure white unusually tall cob with a flowing mane. It had escaped from its owners, travelers living down the road from us. It came thundering into our yard with 2 young men hot on its heels trying to catch it. It turned around and ran back out again and nearly hit a car. It was ok in the end but wow what an Animal 😍

    I’m only fourteen and I know this seems wierd considering most people my age would not be like this, but this is honestly how I want to live,(also I too play the pipes) also I have somewhat of a plan so far as to what I would live in. I plan to get a small job while I prepare, buy a decent sized trailer and some strong wood and create the wagon that way. Don’t yet know how I’d get a horse. I just want a more simple and peaceful life, I’d prefer it that way. I’d probably travel around Britain and do some small odd jobs to make a bit of money.

    It's nice to see he enjoys walking along with the horse - when my wife and I traveled by horse and wagon for about a year - we walked as often as we could - we enjoyed walken and didn't want to get lazy just riden all the time.
    I love it - this guy is real - not just a weekender.

    I wish that I would have had the balls to go against the warnings from the riding school's owner to beware of the Gypsy 's that camped out in a field in Bray , County Wicklow , Ireland .
    I watched them in their beautiful clothing , feeding their Cobbs ... one man waved at me everyday - I remember him still and this is now 30 years ago .
    Silly how fear can make regret .

      @@getin3949 grooming depends on the person. Some people would argue is a full body brush, oiling, hot clothing each day and or before a ride/work. While others argue it’s keeping the horse in check, the cob clearly won’t get mud past it’s feathers so mud fever isn’t going to be a problem. What’s the point in cleaning them off in these conditions if they will likely get this muddy again by the end of the day, during the night and into the next morning. It wouldn’t be worth the time for the horse or the owner until they have somewhere dry to settle for a couple nights. Then they can dish out a full groom, the horses are wet, you don’t brush wet horses that just drives water further into their coat. I’d say by assuming the man’s conditions I wouldn’t say that a clean pony would do anything but slow them down into getting somewhere comfortable.

    I love all these Traveller vids, but for one thing. I really wish just a few minutes could be spent on grooming the horses. They just look uncomfortable getting tacked up first thing. I know a full groom isn,t possible but a quick rub down, then a candy brush run over them would only take a few minutes and surely would make the horse feel better. Like us in the morning having a quick lick, spit and a Polish.🐎🐎

    Why oh Why are so many great youtube videos ruined by adding music tracks. I love to hear the natural sounds of the hooves and the creak of the saddle or in this case the harness and wagon. The occasional informative voiceover or a rider/driver who regularly talks to their horse is good but I always mute the so called music before it drives me bonkers. I seldom if ever come back to these obnoxious music videos unless the subject can stand alone as a silent movie.
