Classy had a day full of adventures!! Chasing ducks 🦆, sniffing chicken houses , trotting in the field and rock climbing 😳 !!!! What a good girl ❤❤❤ !!!!
Classy has it all! Her beauty is such you can't take your eyes off her; desire to learn- quick and smart: great personality. Can't wait to see how she does at the river 2nd time around! Still wish you'd keep her and breed her to Oliver. ❤❤
Classy has got it all. She's absolutely gorgeous, smart, wants to please you and is a pleasure to ride. She's really quite a horse. I'm so impressed with her. Not patting a horse - that's one of the silliest things I've heard. It gives both horse and rider pleasure and comforts & encourages the horse. I can't understand why anyone would think that was a negative thing to do.
gingerk Thats an old cowboy myth where they "Broke" horses to ride rather that trained them, basically forced them to do things rather than taught them.
Wonderful,JR. You are so patient and Classy obviously is a willing learner. Even when you were"fighting" she listened and finally got what you were asking. She is one beautiful horse. Love to watch you together.
JR- I think it’s fair to say that most of your followers adore classy (I know I do) and are Champing at the bit to see Natty go from strength to strength and enjoy herself. There is so much your channel is still able to put out there - I even just watch it sometimes because the natural landscape around your farm is just so beautiful. Another thing - I am a city woman but it doesn’t take a genius to know that farm life will be farm life. Large land and a large Heard will equal accidents and heartbreak. Said a prayer for you. ❤
By the way - I too, know what it is to be caught up in the Maelstrom of spiritual warfare. I believe so anyway. I have no empirical evidence and I am not omniscient. But any rate, I know that feeling of consternation.
We would be thrilled if Classy was chosen to be the mother of an Oliver baby. We love Classy. She is so special. She is now our favorite of all the homestead mares.💗
The grounds are so beautiful and peaceful! Oh how I miss living out in the country. Couldn't help but notice how clear the air was in this recording. The last few weeks in KC the air hasn't been clear at all because of the smoke from the Canadian wildfires. Agree wholeheartedly with your approach in training. Progress isn't made by giving up or quitting. Working through hesitance together builds trust and self confidence.
She's a wonderful horse---and I think of a pat on a horse when they are nervous is also just a reassurance. You're letting her know she's doing well, and not going to die. The Rock Challenge was awesome! And, your Dad's Watermill is absolutely beautiful!
You named her well JR. She is most definitely a very Classy horse 🐎..she did well with all you wanted her to do. I think once she realised what you wanted from the step up she was just fine with it. It's all part of learning, and I love watching you train her and watching her develop into a great trail horse.. I hope you are all well and are coming to terms with the sad loss of Sioux and the foal. I hope and pray 🙏 that your extended family is well and are getting better.. God bless you all..🇬🇧💕🙏✝️🐎👍👏🇺🇸
She is absolutely beautiful ! And I always say this about your videos is your horses trust you which says a lot about your family thank you for your Contant. I really enjoy it. I agree they are the best trail horse. I had a thoroughbred, which was a very nice horse. My friend had a Foxtrotter I’ve never had seen one maybe because there’s not many in New York I don’t know, but I was so impressed with her horse her horse was so sure footed and the gate was amazing. She had back problems and she said she would never own any other horse, except for Foxtrotter.
Classy is a very good name for her. She’s classy in looks and in mind. I’ve never owned a MFT, but I’ve always been curious about them. She did so well on her outing. She obviously trusts you, or she wouldn’t have gone in that boggy area or figured out the rock pedestal so fast.
Beautiful post. So much love goes into teaching and the pride of accomplishment for both horse and trainer. Such beautifully kept grounds at your mother s house, she must have many helping hands. 😊What a show place!
Classy is an appropriate name, she is really a stunning horse. She looks so different under saddle. I love your parents place, so serene and hidden away. I would love to live in a place like you folks, minus the horse flies that is. I still think about the sad video about losing Soiux and her foal. I hope you will tell us if you have definitely found out what happened and whether or not you might have let the local radio and or TV know the story and perhaps even had a clip and a reporter come out there. Who knows perhaps someone locally will know who or what. I was a bit started to hear you say that you and someone else were looking for potentially poisonous plant life where she was grazing. Geez, that is a lot of land to be looking for such a thing! I am sure all the fans were heartbroken as I was for you all. The worst is not knowing if disrespectful people shooting guns off so close to pasture and YOUR HOUSE! was the cause and it is too bad you did not find her while the cause might have been obvious. Double the heartbreak because she was pregnant with Oliver's baby so it is a terrible double loss. Farm life often is full of harsh realities and I think you have handled the losses that have happened of late pretty well. Still my condolences go out to you all for Roo, Sioux and foal. Praying that the Lord watches over the rest of your well loved animals.
Classy is an amazing horse. Beautiful, smart and calm. Looks like a super smooth ride. Shes so alert and seems b to enjoy being ridden. Your decision, but she would to me be a keeper.
Horses that are imprinted from birth, worked with, get use to being kindly treated and you are looked on as a friend, all mine I could go to the pasture and whistle and they came running and followed to the barn, never had a problem catching them, even the Arab lesson horses we had
I taught my AHPA filly the word 'touch'. I use it when we see a bag or paper on the road and she will touch it and I give her a simple hay pellet. When I touch her with something new like draping a tarp over her or gently throwing a beach ball at her, or even taking her fly mask off, I say 'touch' and give her a pellet. She welcomes seeing new things, like garbage cans, hearing noisy clanking trucks, or fast quiet e-bikes because she knows she will get a pellet for being calm. When we ride in a suburban neighborhood, she loves seeing numerous people at work, squealing children at play, or a huge garage truck because a hay pellet is always just a calm reaction away. I call it the 'stuff of life', and she welcomes it!
I think the reason they do unusual things that J. R. asks them to do, is simply because they feel the love. They know you love them and they're safe even if it is something new in the range of obstacles. I love to watch you all for the love❤❤❤ that exudes all over your videos. Thank you for sharing that love with me thru these vids.
I too am worried about the family's safety Ticking time bomb if you ask me Game Warden might give you help. Not leaving this site. It seems to me all the horses love JR. ❤
I have to concede that I am absolutely Green with envy! When I was 13 my dad bought me a gaited horse and he was amazing! I have quite a weakness for spotted horses as well, so Classy is easily my favorite out of all your herd. I was so glad when you chose that for her name. The day you bought her I was so hoping you would not come home without her! She is an amazing, good minded little mare. You're doing a fabulous job with her and it is a joy to watch you working with your horses and know that you love them as much as you love what you are doing and you are looking out for wonderful homes for them.
Sorry I’m late, I’ve been on holiday.classy is such a beautiful looking horse. She seemed to like the water. Jr is very patient with the horses and trains them well. Well done Classy, you did good 👍👍👍💐💐
nice segment. beautiful horse. i had never heard of a Fox Trotter. I've heard of the Walkers before. She is a really nice young lady. Good to see you persisted to get her up on the rock.
I thank classys an amazing horse 🐎 she is going to be someones heart horse there forever horse 🐴 keep up the videos coming can't wait for the next one keep training these beautiful and stunning soul's ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Classy really is classy, isnt she? What a fitting name for a classy lady like herself. She very pretty.
Classy's name fits her color and her personality. Her trust, after a bit of confusion is wonderful to observe.
Her coloring is one of the prettiest on you tube. Outstanding😊😊
P.S. I sure hope you show her a bit before you sell her....I just know she's gonna "knock everybody's socks off"! God bless .....😊❤
Classy had a day full of adventures!! Chasing ducks 🦆, sniffing chicken houses , trotting in the field and rock climbing 😳 !!!! What a good girl ❤❤❤ !!!!
Classy is so beautiful. I hope she either wins lots of trophies or has many beautiful babies or both!
Classy is a great horse. Praying for a hedge of protect around your farm, your animals, and your family.
Classy has it all! Her beauty is such you can't take your eyes off her; desire to learn- quick and smart: great personality. Can't wait to see how she does at the river 2nd time around! Still wish you'd keep her and breed her to Oliver. ❤❤
Classy is just one in a million
What a beautiful girl! Did a great job JR & Em.
When Classy stood upright on that boulder, that was probably one of the most beautiful pictures of a horse I’ve ever seen. She is just gorgeous. ❤
She is absolutely breathtaking!!! What a beauty!!!
Classy has got it all. She's absolutely gorgeous, smart, wants to please you and is a pleasure to ride. She's really quite a horse. I'm so impressed with her.

gingerk Thats an old cowboy myth where they "Broke" horses to ride rather that trained them, basically forced them to do things rather than taught them.
To me, that would be like not patting a dog who’s done a good job or could use encouragement.
Classy is so beautiful! Prayers ✝️ 🙏 💖 for protection for your animals. ❤
She has brains and beauty!
Just saw a video where these people were having trouble with trespassing,They got most help from reporting to the Game Warden 🙏🙏🙏🙏😇❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I,ve got to say it again, Classy is gorgeous!
Never realized how one must train a horse! She is beautiful, just beautiful.
Beautiful horse. Jr knows how to get what he wants from a horse.. Nice job Jr.. I so still miss Sioux. . God bless..Praying for M's daddy..PRAY ON!!
Wonderful,JR. You are so patient and Classy obviously is a willing learner. Even when you were"fighting" she listened and finally got what you were asking. She is one beautiful horse. Love to watch you together.
What a beautiful, elegant horse is Classy. Her gait is so graceful.
In a radius of 100km only two people have such quality horses in my home town in Africa.

We would be thrilled if Classy was chosen to be the mother of an Oliver baby. We love Classy. She is so special. She is now our favorite of all the homestead mares.💗
That’s one beautiful horse.
I have never risen a gaited horse. It does look smooth. I'm a rider but never had the opportunity. 😊 Just may have to put that on the bucket list!!!
Classy Isabella beautiful horse, love her coloring.
Classy really is my dream horse. I used to ride Icelandic horses and their gates are also very pleasant to ride.
She is a beautiful horse
Classy just seems so easy going..
The grounds are so beautiful and peaceful! Oh how I miss living out in the country.

AGREED ❤
Your parents farm is so beautiful. It's like the American dream.
Classy seems to be a sweet mare.

Way to go, Classy 🎉
She’s really coming along. The flapping duck wings would have sent my horse into FLIGHT 😂😂. Good job classy😊
She did really great . I envy her new owner and hope he gives her the life she deserves .🤠
Classy is magnificent! Great video!
Classy is doing SO well!
Classy is an amazing horse. Beautiful, smart and calm. Looks like a super smooth ride. Shes so alert and seems b to enjoy being ridden. Your decision, but she would to me be a keeper.

Would Classy&Oliver cross?? SO BLESSED to Uall for having her!!❤😊
I was thinking the same thing. Classy and Oliver? ❤
@joannahatton99 right now I am still in grief mode.😢
I too am worried about the family's safety
Ticking time bomb if you ask me
Game Warden might give you help.
Not leaving this site. It seems to me all the horses love JR. ❤
This was great for me I'm aversion who grew up with horses but now I can afford one your parents place looks like heaven on earth beautiful
Your parents have an awesome looking piece of property! Very beautiful!
What a doll! Good job JR.
What a lovely mare! Also, I think she gives us a little preview of Poncho's potential. Looking forward to seeing all the youngsters' progress!
She turned out to really look "classy" despite her rough arrival
That horse is such a beauty.
I have to concede that I am absolutely Green with envy! When I was 13 my dad bought me a gaited horse and he was amazing!

God Bless
Sorry I’m late, I’ve been on holiday.classy is such a beautiful looking horse. She seemed to like the water. Jr is very patient with the horses and trains them well. Well done Classy, you did good 👍👍👍💐💐
Beautiful markings on horse.
Love this horse. Gorgeous intelligent willing to please
She is so pretty.
She looks 1000% better than when you got her...!
Classy looks really good. I see the water wheel is working. I would love a video of that.
I almost added that in and then second guessed myself! Shoulda done it!
She truly is classy!!! At the last the actually put all four feet on that rock! Looks amazingly smooth to ride!
Guy's Classy is a great Horse. Love the way she moves and how She is willing to give New things ago pluse of course her training 😃
nice segment. beautiful horse. i had never heard of a Fox Trotter. I've heard of the Walkers before. She is a really nice young lady. Good to see you persisted to get her up on the rock.
Still so upset about Sioux! Praying for the Lord to defeat Satan's attacks on your family and your farm.
I am doing the same.
Got to admit I sure didn't see that coming and the assumption on how she died was real hard to accept.
Yes it is very upsetting for sure. I wish we had a for sure cause.
Agreed with the prayer
I’m feeling the same way,I can’t stop thinking about her and how they feel she passed! So upsetting!
She is a very calm and pretty horse. She is definitely a keeper, and hopefully she will show well if you enter her into any shows!
Classy is a stunning horse. 🐴
Nice to see her working. She’s doing great.
She sure loves water !
What a grand landscape for trotting 🏇
I have a rocky mt I love it. True once I got on one had to have one. So I have had 3. I may try a fix trotter one day.
Great video. Classy went up on all fours, even though you didn't ask her for hind feet up! And a beautiful gait.
Do you still pray with your horse before training? When I have seen you do that, it seems to have a calming effect.
I thank classys an amazing horse 🐎 she is going to be someones heart horse there forever horse 🐴 keep up the videos coming can't wait for the next one keep training these beautiful and stunning soul's ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wow you look so good on your beautiful horse. These are my favorite videos. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Your horses have beautiful movement.
I am so jealous of the person who you are handing Classy over to.
She is such a good horse.
Love her. ❤️
Classy is just that Classy! ❤❤
What a beautiful place! Classy is gorgeous, too. I hope your run of bad turns is over. Sending love....
That is a pretty horse!
Just love the way she looks and moves, a 10 in every way.
