Draft horse on the beach! | GoPro horseback ride | Salinas River State Beach review

Fame and I canter on the beach for the first time - a total dream come true! This is his first "real" beach ride. For those of you in the San Francisco Bay Area, I recommend checking this beach out! Horse friendly, no dogs allowed, port-o-potties but no horse troughs. Nice big lot, easy drive, easy in and out.

Trail Riding on my Draft Horse (Compilation 1)
Hi just curious how many time does this mighty horse eat..thanks
Lots of good information!
great idea but not sure i can pack that on my horse lol
Is it ok to get a cult if you want to take your time training so your horse hasnt been trainded in an aggresive mannor..i belive in gental natural methods like steve young teaches and i plan on haveing a professinal trainer assist me regularly too.
Thank you so much for shereing ,it's a great lesson,from what I'm learning watching my favourite trainer it realy seems like you can almost get any horse and its mostly a matter of training and training methods and that most horses can be amazing once there is love respect and healthy boundaries in place for all the basics. I was looking at older horses but now considering very young ones and just training them well from the start to avoid a horse with existing habits.
I am sixteen and watching has many videos has I can, I love horses and would really like one basically as soon as possible. I think the soonest is when I have my own place. I'm the same, I would just like a horse I can trail ride, camp a little and ride on a beach. I just found your channel and I love the way you share you tips, it is so helpful!
he is absolutely gorgeous!! I am exploring buying a gypsy and just love the breed! Happy to find your channel!
I have always wanted a horse since I was a very young age I would watch shows and say "I will grow up and have a farm" I just wish that would come true and I always imagine myself in the distant riding a beautiful sweet horse enjoying our time together that’s why I have urges to just get a horse a lovely nice home with food water equipment and whatever the horse needs❤
I want to be a wildlife rehabber and I want a horse in the future but until then I think lessons would prepare me for it again I was 13 years old when I started horse riding lessons
I am a 6’4” 295 lbs bodybuilder (low fat, so its not like I can loose much weight). What breed of foal could I get to train for trail riding?
should i go to auctions? i heart they sell horses at 200-500
I have had a standardbred for 22 years. He was six when I adopted him from off the track through a rescue and he's now 28 years old. I chose him because they're so steadfast. They're steady, they're wise And so kind .He's been my best friend. I can put Small children on his back and he carries them like they're a treasured package. I used to board him and whenever they needed a horse for a kid that didn't know how to ride they would borrow him because he stuck right with everybody else. I can't say enough wonderful things about the breed. He was my first horse. Got him when I was 40 and now I'm 62
Im age 28 getting a late start on a childhood dream of being a cowboy n wanting to learn to ride a horse n work with cattle, ive only ever really been on trail rides 😅
Same here. Im 26, ive always wanted a horsey. Im starting a new job soon where it can potentially help me save $$ and buy property so i can finally have my own horsey
I just gotta say, your horse is the only reason i listened to that song after 57 years 😊
The cattle are Charolais. I'm really appreciating your videos! So honest and thoughtful, and of course Fame is gorgeous.
Thank you! So glad to have you watching 🙏🏼💗
Hobbles very canonical you can get a set of good quality hoppers for around $40-$50
I had a Standard Bred and we use to do Light Horse reenactments with him. Light Horse is WW1 Australian Army Light Infantry, my ex could fire a blank 303 riffle a foot above his head and he would just stand there. We would also do reenactments such as tent pegging, drills, and Anzac Day parades. It was fun! Unfortunately ' Jilliby ' is no longer with us! He would have been 30 this year. I found that they are very intelligent and great with kids!! Well oh boy was anyway!
hello please I've been on the lookout for the perfect pony for my granddaughter.. have gone all through a bunch of Facebook groups but I've not seen what I'm looking for.. does anyone have any trusted sellers?

It's really a struggle sigh I spent 6 months on Facebook and it was not a good experience. I finally reached out to the barn owner where I was taking lessons and asked her to find me a horse. she is hauling a horse in for me for a 2 week trial period. I will pay to board for 2 weeks but okay with that. hopefully, this horse is the one! i'll meet him on Monday
wow congrats I'm so glad you did.. please how can i get in touch with her?

Why does these huge horses have such short and puny tails!!??
What a lot I learned from you! You are a fantastic teacher! I've only just ridden on other people's horses so far in riding lessons, all different breeds, and I find I am a draft horse fanatic. Well, I love all horse breeds, but I can't get enough of the feathered feet. 😊 Thank you.
Than you again for being so helpful and encouraging with my relationship with my drum horse (Holly). I didn't seeike I may need to spoil her more. this video in the past and it looks l
Jeez… that’s a lot of stuff. Wouldn’t it be easier to sleep in the truck on cold nights!
❤❤❤
What’s actually shocking about this is that you have to buy a trailer. I live in Poland and have my horse for 18 years now - it’s not necessary really to have your own trailer here. It’s so easy to rent one, even with an experienced driver.
I had a wonderful perch/quarter mix as a kud( she lived to 32!) she was drafty but had the grace of a good quarter horse. Best baby sitter! 16 hands, naturally kind and LOVED me beyond. I never got hurt on her… Miss her ♥️‼️🙋♀️☮️🐴
Thank you so very much!!! I learned a lot♥️🙋♀️☮️‼️🐴
I'm thinking of buying a Percheron this week but I heard that their feet can be hard to do for farrier because they are so heavy. Do you have trouble getting their feet done?
Fame stands well for the farrier at this point. My farrier does charge more for drafts. I did spend the early years working on balance and teaching Fame to hold each foot independently with clicker training and that helped a lot. Good luck with your purchase!
We staked our horses out on picket lines just to clear flammable grasses in areas that weren’t fenced. They learned not to step on the rope. No one ever got tangled. We kept their water right at the edge so they could reach it but not knock it over. Car tires and truck tires are good anchors for water buckets.
I hope it’s not too forward to ask but what happened with Jake? How many horses in between Jake and Fame? Thank you for your videos. You have me thinking about so much! 🙏🏽
Jake was rehomed with a woman who wanted to walk only. Fame is my second horse. Glad the videos are helpful, appreciate you watching! 💗
Thanks for great advices
How fascinating! I really wish we had something like this in my state/country of Australia! America has amazing places to visit!
I’m from The Netherlands, and went a couple of times to the event of Ring-steken, running at the ring, with Dutch draft horses. The kids ride on the horse without saddle. It’s very impressive to see, and hear, that horses run. In Dutch they are called Zeeuwse paarden, because they come from the province of Zeeland. (Where New Zealand is named after)
Loving your channel! I just purchased my first Draft Horse. She is a Percheron/Shire mix. I already have a TWH & a Spotted Saddle. My lesson horse was a Paint/Friesian mix so I have always wanted a Gentle Giant. Preparing for her arrival I had so many questions. Thank you for sharing this information. Much appreciated!
Most of my horses are Percheron crosses. I LOVE the big horse. My first draft cross was a Percheron/Tennessee Walker cross. She took me to Intermediate Cross Country Jumping. She was a willing mare & loved to jump. We traveled across the country. I had her for 30 years, she was born on my farm. She was my best friend. Other Percheron crosses, with Quarter horses & Thoroughbreds. Love them. All versatile & very mild disposition. I also rode Shires in the mountains of Wyoming. So enjoyable! I look forward to finding a pair of Gypsy Vanners & Drummers. Like you stated, drafts can do really anything. Mine did. And they enjoyed it...English, Western, jumping, dressage & trail riding is Always a favorite. All my draft crosses were always well behaved around children. And anyone. Also owned an Irish Draft Stallion.. 17.2 hands. Big black beautiful boy. ❤ You are fortunate to have such a gorgeous horse as Fame! Great video! You are spot on with your knowledge!
❤ #justloveshires ! Never asked any of these questions, not an owner but just love to see and know Shires. Lovely vid n crazy informative 🤘🏼 Cheers Luv! Yourkshire ❤
He's gorgeous wow
We just started camping, and it is SO FUN. I am HOOKED!!!
Yayyyyy!! Welcome to the club!! 😃🙌🏼
Thanks from Chicago
Thanks from Chicago. I am a big man. You are giving good info
So beautiful
Nice video
You always have the best realistic sound advice. Thank you for being so candid! And thank you too Fame for not stepping on mommy!! 💙🐴❣️
Thanks Kathy! Glad it was helpful. And yes Fame was such a good boy. 🥰
My first ever horse was a standerbead ,second draft cross x ,3rd tennessee walker and thoroughbred. Love them all
I can't help but wonder if he sees the bike as another "horse" that he can run in the herd with.
I am a heavy person and because of my weight I would never consider torchering an animal by riding, I would rather use buckboard have 2 horses pull me. those poor animals i feel bad regardless of weight of a person .
Awwwww love this! I too homebirth, cloth diaper, and love horses. I’ve been on a horse hiatus 3 years as I’ve had 3 kids in 4 years and working on a 4th…. But I’m getting that itch to get a horse again and researching drafts and draft crosses. So glad to find you!
Go mama!!! There are some great Facebooks groups for equestrian moms that are encouraging. Excited for you to get back into horses!!!! 😃😃😃
