Poetry in motion … the way they floated around a bend as one… just breathtaking. Thnx for sharing this glimpse of the Almighty’s work at its very very best, and in creatin you an all Barry, of course!
I ❤the Gelderlanders, I used to live in Holland, but I'm going to say that I Adore the Cleveland Bays,I have worked with a Cleveland Bay stallion and he was a Gentleman! (He kicked a hole in the Stable walls due to the harvest mites though!!) Wonderful to see you and appreciate your kindness and understanding towards the horses!! Thank you very Much!!❤
I was with them every hoof of the way Astonishing, driving - they look as if they have been a team forever. There is a drive you did in the New Forest that has stayed with me. These precious UK summer days, lovely to experience. Thank you, Barry.
This has been a real treat watching your driving video. Just listening to your voice you have such a calm manner, and I agree with one of the other comments “ masterful”. Watching a master at work it looks so effortless
Beautiful team! I always wanted to drive four in hand, never did, these are lovely. Nice to have the long shots too, being able to see how they move and such.
Thank you Barry and Rhi for coming up with the wonderful idea of adding archive videos as this is marvelous for newbie watchers of your youtube chanel such as myself. I might not be a horse owner but I just love watching your calm and kind interactions with these beautiful creatures. As you often say you are blessed to have been working in a job that you love, and who couldn't love working with these beautiful animals? Fate sends us off in different directions and if I had my time again I would love to be on the same path, to find my niche in life sharing with equines. That said not in the future! lol. But back from the years when you also came into horse knowledge and I would hope to be given the wisdom that you have ❤🐎
I remember those youngsters!! They had great movement to them!! And to see them going in the team of 4, and seeing you driving them all, is stunning to see, Baz!! I remember the funeral you did as well!! Now that's going back a few years!! Happy New Year Baz and Rhi, I wish you more great driving adventures in 2024!! Your friend the Retired Paramedic and a very tired Horse Trainer, waiting on baby number 5 to make its appearance, then I'm done for this year. In Ontario, Canada, Jenn 💖 🇨🇦
@barryhook2 She was born at 1135 pm EST on..drum roll please..JANUARY 7TH!!! My birthday!! I told someone else that she was looking like she was going to go, and she did!! Before midnight, so, technically, still my birthday, on January the 7th. She has a Star and a tiny snip, and she's the same rich chest red of Secretariat!!
Perfection!! All the time and experience you have had Barry and Rhi, it shows in how fantastic these Gelderlanders are going!! You have light hands and a strong presence, the horses respond to that so very well ❤️ Happy New Year to Everyone Here 🎉🎈🫶
That would be a whole video, but there are four lines in Barry's hands. The top two go to the leaders, the bottom two go to the wheelers (the horses behind the leaders).
Lovely to watch . Do you drive the leaders as a tandem first to get them used to a horse behind. We did that with youngsters. Those horses look well matched
I could never understand 'headers' if those horses decide to leave there is nothing a header can do about it except maybe get run over. I was at a show once by myself with 1 horse and the show insisted that the horse had to have someone heading for the line up in the ring the fact that the horse could have been left there even without a driver and wouldn't have moved ... they insisted so they sent someone to stand there... made the show committee happy but didn't have any effect on the horse who ignored them as did I
Headers to the ring in lineup is customary in many shows/breeds/disciplines. I was always grateful for the practice, not for my horses, but the unpredictable behavior of others.
We prefer never to go to their heads either, but to encourage the horse to use their own confidence and that they have in their driver instead. As you rightly say, headers are also in the most danger of being run over!

They way you weave them through the lanes is stunning. Masterful as always.
Really enjoyed watching this lovely team! Beautiful countryside to enjoy as well.
What a wonderful sight .. Sigh I have to say, in my opinion , there is nothing more handsome or regal than a horse with a roman nose.
It's just nice to be reminded that it might stop raining one day 😅
Very true haha
You said that 3 months ago, it hasn’t stopped yet😂

Wow
You are a real master negotiating traffic !
A lot of practice!
I love the Gelderlander. I hath one for 10 years and still miss here terrible.
Lovely video, hope the team of four have a great life and their owner treats them and drives them like you do. With kindness.

Great looking 4

Thoroughly enjoyed this video. Thanks so much for taking the time to put it together with your voice over.
Lovely piece of film. I felt I was sitting next to you!
Brautiful! And the team just glides across the ground, so smooth and confident👍
Correction..beautiful

Thanks for sharing this!
Great video thank you
Just INCREDIBLE!!!
My dad would have been very impressed he had Clydesdales
Thank you.
Awesome Barry, very nostalgic thank you
Perfection!!

You have light hands and a strong presence, the horses respond to that so very well ❤️
Happy New Year to Everyone Here 🎉🎈🫶
So impressive this lot! And such beautiful green country. Reminds me of the Shire from the LOTR❤
If this is back to the future then I'm in..❤
Really enjoyed seeing this team working would be interesting to see what they are. like now
The wheelers are possibly retired by now! The owner still has the leaders and still drives them as a pair last we heard.
♥ Just lovely, so impressive.
awesome
So beautyfull
Barry,my admiration for you is boundless.p
So very nice. Why do you suppose the lead horse kept bobbing her head down?
Let us know the time on the video you're looking at and Barry will have a look and try to explain for you.
How honestly amazing 💗👏🏼🇦🇺💕💓💗
Could you sometimes explain how two lines in your hands attach to four horses? Beautiful film. Thanks.
That would be a whole video, but there are four lines in Barry's hands. The top two go to the leaders, the bottom two go to the wheelers (the horses behind the leaders).
I love Roman noses too
Lovely to watch . Do you drive the leaders as a tandem first to get them used to a horse behind. We did that with youngsters. Those horses look well matched
Not usually, no. Just as a pair first most of the time.
Beautiful team! Did you just happen by the guys that watered the horses or did you already know them? What a fun drive. Thanks for sharing!
Already knew them! They jumped down off the carriage to water the horses.
I could never understand 'headers' if those horses decide to leave there is nothing a header can do about it except maybe get run over. I was at a show once by myself with 1 horse and the show insisted that the horse had to have someone heading for the line up in the ring the fact that the horse could have been left there even without a driver and wouldn't have moved ... they insisted so they sent someone to stand there... made the show committee happy but didn't have any effect on the horse who ignored them as did I

Gelderlanders:must be Vaux
Trying to kill your horses??!
