PS my daughter had her baby girl and is really enjoying being a mom

We are all awaiting the announcement. Handfeeding horses may not be common in Canada, but in the States, it is not uncommon. I'm subscribed to a site where they have a horse farm in Missouri and even have some Clydesdales they have rescued. One who is an intact stallion was a yearling when they got him and was in bad shape. But with care and nutrition he has recovered and now almost 4 and close to 2000 pounds, they hand fed him some treats very early on. I also watch the Helping Albertas Wildies Society site. A stallion will smell the poop of a mare, then pee on it then step forward and raise his head to let every one know she belongs to him. So, smelling the poop may be second nature to geldings, but not the last two steps.

We call them "pocket ponies".😊

Dec 22 is a great birth day! ❤ I was taught as a child to keep the palm open and flat to feed by hand.

Yayyyyy my Rudnik fix ❤

I saw your story on the dodo as well. I love this story. And I'm so glad that you found somebody willing to share one of your passions. I think it's important that we open up our hearts and minds to things that our partners love, that we may not understand or love. It's part of what makes us better people, and better partners! And I hope there are many, many years with rudnick and B and of course you! 😊

I love the parts about hand feeding and personal space. My horse is conscious of where he places his feet, especially when I'm wearing sandals but yet a lot people would say the same thing... personal space or don't hand feed. i"ve had my horse 29 years, 30 really because I had his mum. After this long... NONE of the rules matter kinda, he just knows how to care now and very respectful. COMPLETELY different story for other people with him though, he will test them on their confidence and won't even let other people catch him.

Oh my! I haven't been able to watch in awhile. The baby is really growing!! Hes going to be sturdy, I think. You can tell you're getting close to due date. What a wonderful Christmas or New year gift he will be. Iam so happy for you. May you have a wonderful Thanksgiving, and don't forget, eat some pumpkin pie for the baby!!

Happy Thanksgiving.

Yeah, those last several weeks are for fine tuning the baby’s remaining systems, and packing on the final pounds. My 2 babies were born 6.5 and 7 weeks early, respectively (preeclampsia both times 😳😬), and were both about 4.5 lbs at birth. (In lbs, normal weight is 6-8? lbs.). So they missed out on that final weight gain. Giving birth was easier I imagine (nothing to compare it to) but 3 weeks in the NICU was not a good trade off. Hang in there, you’re almost at this finish line! And for the record, I didn’t particularly enjoy being pregnant either. Wonderful to see you again! Gave me a nice little break during preparations for tomorrow.

The only time I've ever seen a problem with hand feeding is a horse that is always into your personal space. I know there are trainers who say NEVER!!! Every horse is different and unique. And the same horse that maybe doesn't respect person A will totally respect person B. Blanket statements: Always, every time, etc., aren't.

You guys must be so excited for the baby! It’s almost time!

Things happen for a reason we don’t always understand, but Rudnik having to leave his old boarding site was definitely a good reason. You can’t see him as often but he’s got lots of friends and someone who keeps you updated on how he’s doing. I think all that’s the reason it happened like it did. Good luck in the coming weeks. Hope your birthing is a smooth one and that your little cowboy is perfect.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING DAY to all of you and give Rudnik some extra carrots to celebrate 🥰 Btw, he looks magnificent ❤

OK! Right off the bat, I'm going to admit that my knowledge of horses is limited and what knowledge I have gained has been through your videos. Frankly, over the course of my viewing your posts, I have been amazed at the intelligence and affection that Rudnik has displayed. Now, as I said, I am not familiar (my loss) with horses and do not know what to expect from them. So let me ask you, is Rudnik an equine Einstein or would you expect the same level of communication and bonding with any horse that was treated with the same loving care as you have treated Rudnik?

Absolute majestic creatures you do know that the horse is God's chosen animal unfortunately I do not have horses but I'm surrounded by people who do have been all my life it's funny how all of them feed their horses apples or carrots

Heh, Rudnik is a Lover, he's not aware that he's a Gelding, not a Stallion! Still, he missed you both, and was annoyed at the long absence too I'd wager. And since no one rode him, he got impatient with being away from "his" herd of buddies, lol. Hope all is well for all of you, Rudnik, B, Mom and Little Man! I am really happy knowing the people boarding Rudnik seems to adore him, since it's hard not to adore him!

Wow! The bloom on Rudnik is astonishing….i can’t even see his former “rescue” self even when I squint real hard. He’s so handsome 🤩 His tail up trot/prance gets me every time! What a blessing to have him boarded where the owner(s) keep you posted on his well being.

It's very sad that you just can't be with him so much right now but he's clearly living his best life in a healthy herd of feisty females and friends. He's not pining for company. My female cats also slapped the boys most but it's all fine. In the catworld the meanest girls seem to be the most attractive to the silly boycats.

I had to come out of “lurky turkey” mode to share the guffaw I had at around 5:05 concerning treats. lol. I felt that “pregnant pause” & you keep doing what’s right between you & Rudnik. You know your horse, he knows not to chomp on ya thumb & both of you have come so far because you trust one another. ❤ You keep doing what you can, when you can & Rudnik will be ready to amaze us all some more. Rest as much as you can now that you’re in the home stretch & be patient w/ yourself. Hey, has Rudnik tried parsnips? My buddy’s horse is on a diet & as I’m that kinda dork that likes to give the horses treats, they asked me to only give him parsnip pieces as they’re lower in “sugar” & calories but has that carroty flavor horses love. ✌️

Rudnik has the fanciest of fancy tails.😅

Texas USA 🇺🇸 Greetings. It is wonderful to see you & B & of course our handsome fellow Rudnik. He’s the talk in my neighborhood. I have friends here that I introduced them to Rudnik. They love him too. Our Thanksgiving is tomorrow so we include you & B & Rudnik & baby as we are thankful for all of you. I can have a bad day & all I have to do is turn on Rudnik’s video & everything is alright in the world again. I just found out Canada 🍁 🇨🇦 celebrates Thanksgiving the second Monday in October. So belated Happy Thanksgiving. I’m so thankful Rudnik has you & B & b (little b😊). Take care. Always LOVE BLESSINGS & always PRAYERS. 😊❤️🙏🍁🇨🇦✝️

What a lovely looking herd in beautiful surrondings, it is so nice to see them like that, but its hard on you but you can tell he loves you both but the herd is calling for him, he is a lovely boy. 🥰

That is some seriously crunchy snow! It must be really cold there. Have a great Thanksgiving!

Rudnik returning to the herd - it’s all good until someone call's him a mumma's boy. Hehe

How exciting for Dec delivery. Glad you were able to see him and care about him..

I laughed till the tears flowed with the "fake belly full of carrots" comment. Thanks, I needed that.🤣We've had only abour one hour of sunshine in the last 7 days here in Michigan and it's beginning to get me down. Winter is due to hit here starting tomorrow with lots of 'Lake effect' snow off Lake Michigan. Used to be a winter lover, but I'm old and gray now and it's no fun anymore.😒

Is it possible! Rudnik looks even more gorgeous than the last video. What a beautiful masculine horse. Can't wait to put my 2025 Rudnik calendar up😊 Happy Thanksgiving, everyone 😊

Happy Thanksgiving! May the 4 of you have a beautiful holiday.

💥 This is what I'm saying...why are YOU cleaning the hooves? I've seen B do it in previous vids...Step up B! Take charge, keep in mind, this is also what makes a Man a great Father too. Rudnik looking at the girls...tail up in the air, but then comes running for a carrot! LMAO! Such a boy! 💥

Oh man, he's sweet and handsome, killer combo! The pretty snowy landscape and raven sounds really take me back! When the boys in black were just standing together in solidarity of their love for you🥲! I'm sad that you get these criticisms, (I would feel hurt and annoyed both that people thought I would film being unsafe), but they are helpful in that you give an explanation to people who might not know, which is important. Best wishes to all of you!

💥 You may not feel it but you look great. These last weeks are the toughest. Make time to get off your feet each day. Time to put your hospital bag together and have it ready to go. Hopefully you have completed Lamaze classes and you and B are feeling more confident about the babies arrival. B can spend some time with Rudnik now, this is the time he needs to get into the habit of helping with him. Once the baby comes you will be too busy and tired to get out there even every two weeks. His schedule will be a little freer. Have him start now while you still feel like going - he needs to be 100% hands on at this juncture so YOU are comfortable when he is taking care of Rudnik on his own...time is short now. But you all look great! Cheers! And since I know you are in Canada, I wont bother with Thanksgiving greetings! How about God save us from Donald J Trump and his Tariffs instead? 💥

The never ha d feed your horse comment really gets me. Who comes up with all of these rules? I got my first horse when I was 10 and probably broke every rule in the book, yet we both survived. That also reminds me of all of the unsolicited advice that I received when I had my children such as don't hold your baby because you'll spoil them. In one ear and out the other. You can't spoil a newborn! 😅😮

CONGRATULATIONS to you both! You have truly found your soul mate…….you have found someone who shares your love of Rudnik and your dogs AND your way of life! HE has found a whole new way of living that he probably never knew existed! His love of Rudnik (and vice versa) and being in the great outdoors with the woman of his dreams proves that when you least expect it everything just comes together in the most perfect way! May you both, and your family,have the very best life and I pray that someday you WILL get that home with all the land you want and everyone and everything will finally all be together in one place! Wishing you all only the very best that life has to offer……looking forward to your videos! 🎉😂❤😂

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your blooming family. Rudnik is a stud. I can't imagine what he would be like if he wasn't gelded.

I lovelovelove the fancy dancy tail when he's getting all hoity toity. It's hilarious and adorable.

He's gorgeous. I hope everything goes well when you have your baby. ❤

Ohh ho I LOVE me some crunchy snow footsteps/hoofbeats & a beefy almost jet black Roany pony,the perfect combination!! His reaction when you called him over 🤪😂 “oh hi it’s you mom,listen I love y’all but I’ve been really enjoying this new “dating” lifestyle where I get to hang out with so many girls” SUCH a teen boy 😉😁🥲can I get back to them now?? He really did pick up your ADHD but oof he looks so GOOD in the snow,❄️ I do think he can sense that his little brother is getting ever closer to meeting him.🥹💙🖤🐎☃️Thank you for lifting my spirits with this video Rudnik I had quite the adrenaline filled 6 am wake up call (everything is fine my 14 year old pup decided to go for a little winter pool dip🙈)he makes me feel better!!

Wow ,shadows play the mystery.😊

I’m new to this channel and I wanted to know what is that that you were doing with his hooves? I used to take care of horses but never got that far into caring for them.

We'd be a lot better off if we could smell these things.

I am not discounting what you are saying, but I'm offering you hope. I've known several women who said they absolutely hated being pregnant and then had a second, third, fourth or fifth child. When they actually have their first child, they often decide they want to have more children.

All it takes is one mistake of getting behind the horses legs like that. Fiance needs to take gentle instructions, like a horse, for his own safety. The ER nurse I babysat for on a horse farm got kicked and trampled, ending both her careers, dont be sensitive to criticism or gentle corrections. Funny, you expect animals to obey them, but not humans

You might want to stop hand feeding your horses. It's the reason why your roan is so nippy. Horses that are hand fed learn to view you and your hands as treats dispensers and will be constantly chasing you down and trying to bite at your hands, pockets, etc.. You also need to teach them to respect and stay out of your personal space. They are big animals and can really hurt you if they bite or run into you. I have been bitten and kicked by my little mini horse because I was hand feeding him and he is very food aggressive. I have learned to have him back off, put the treats on the ground or in a shallow bucket, and keep myself an arm's length away. Watch Steve Young's training videos. He has a lot to say about this matter.

Nick: hello, excuse me--- what was your name again?

💦🌹💦 Nice, smooth camera work. Very enjoyable, thanks!!!

Thks explaining what was going on! 🙂🙋‍♀️🇦🇺.

Wow guys! there's a broken human there let's go che it out! 🤣

He is a lovely horse!!Congratulations on the baby!!

Now that was some serious snorting! 😤 (Yours was pretty impressive too! hehe 😜)
