A small subdivision was built near me. Also near me is a hog farm. When the wind blows a certain direction we get a “nice” aroma from said farm. I never was concerned since I was raised on a farm and it’s part of farm life. However the folks in the new subdivision are furious and are trying to shut the farm down!
@@privateobvious655 Nothing like the sweet aroma of a fresh cow patty. Sheep and goats have a urine scent that takes getting used to, at least that's my experience in Az but it's, as someone mentioned, the farm life, rural, the smell of freedom unfiltered.
Same here in Gemany. Some entitled kunts moved to my village and one of their first actions was to sue the farmers because they smelled manure. What a bunch of tools.
Horses… the only animal with 2arseholes.. one under its tail… and the other riding on its saddle… riders seem to be in a world of their own where they are always right and better than anyone else…. Not all … but most!!
Horses shouldnt be on the road anyway. The concrete is bad for their legs, they dont pay road tax, they shit everywhere and the riders dont EVER pick it up, they stall traffic who HAVE paid for the road and it very often causes issues like this because horses panic and their owners are snooty and up their own arses. It should be private land only. And if you cant afford or dont have access to private land, then you cant afford a horse. I've ridden 2 stroke dirt bikes my whole life. Never crashed, never hit anyone, never damaged anyone's property, my bike has never freaked out and kicked someone for walking past etc and I've had an absolute bastard sometimes trying to find private land I can actually ride on because you're not allowed them on the road.

I grew up riding horses, and if you can't control your horse DON'T RIDE THAT HORSE ALONG A ROAD! Also, if you're new to riding, don't buy yourself a pretty horse! Instead, buy yourself a horse that has been there, done that, and is unimpressed by everything and short of an attack by wolves or a pack of dogs, won't spook for anything. Work up from there with your riding mounts as you gain confidence and ability.
I learned to ride on an old nag, chilling along the lanes, no helmet. Great! Decided riding is too much effort on the thighs and gave up. I recommend traps or buggies.
too bad modern agriculture sucks for the soil itself and the fertilizers most farmers use, only about 20% gets absorbed in the soil and the other 80% goes in the air so not good
The worst was the local hunt . When it was legal to hunt foxes on horse back , which it not any more . I worked on the railway here in Wales . When at a local signal box . A woman barged in and told the signalman. To slow the trains down the next day in case The Hunt wanted to go on the line on their horse. They were the most arrogant, unpleasant ,obnoxious people you could care to meet . I wish I had been there at the time !
That would be with a broad grin then. I have it on good authority that owls don't like cornflakes, unless they're inside a mouse. What impresses me about owls is their 360 degree range necks.

Very true. A few years ago on a Friday night I was rowing up Haylage on a Friday evening when I had a breakdown. I needed a part welded & rang my son who was working 7 miles away. As I was driving to where he was on a narrow road I came up behind 4 female cyclists riding 4 abreast & filling the road. After driving quietly behind them for about a quarter of a mile I gave the horn a quick beep. Two of them turned round & gave me dirty looks but they pulled over into single file & I ambled past. As I drew alongside one of them gave me the V sign. I drove on a bit & then stopped. When they came up I said “I appreciate you’re in leisure mode ladies but some of us out here in the countryside are working”. The one who’d given me the fingers said “What fool is working at this time on a Friday night?” I replied “Just the fools who are producing your food” She was a bit red faced & apologised. They others laughed at her. Hopefully a lesson learnt.
Unfortunatly about 40% of the population are like that. They have no respect at all and generations as we go on are just getting worse.

Agreed, but how many people do you know who wouldn’t be able to get back on again without help or a mounting block of some sort! Aside from the fact that they probably shouldn’t be up there in the first place!
@@andrewdaniel3047 That never even occurred to me. I used to help out exercising my friends horses and most of the time we didn't saddle them. I didn't even consider it an especially difficult task. Just grab a big hunk of mane right at the neck, stand by the head ,take a couple running steps ,a jump and swing on over. Stirrups are even easier.
@@StanlyTPT No, I only see a misguided misogynist. You know Gent is short for gentleman right?. You can't be misogynistic and also refer to your peers as gents lol. All your peers are scallywags.
As a horse rider who rides on the road frequently, she should of waited. Of she felt unsafe on her horse she could of dismounted and got back on up the road. It's not that hard. Love the videos.
From a farming family, so that narcissistic rider encounter made me sigh. I grew up around people who rode horses to do their work: ranch hands, back-country packers, real cowboys. While most of my encounters with recreational riders have been pleasant, there were a few who barely seemed to notice us when we met on a trail or unpaved road. Gorgeous farm and animals; thanks for sharing them with us!
Probably because if she'd waited she'd have ended up on her arse 🤦🏻♀️ sounds like she wasn't confident that her horse would have stayed sane. She could have dismounted and asked for a leg up get back on... I'm a horse rider btw. 🙃
Why do so many people ride horses they cannot remount from the ground, it's ridiculous. I used to own two horses for pleasure hacks (and driving ) but within a sensible size for myself and road safe.
This is the most wholesome video I've seen in months, and popped up randomly in my feed. Subscribed. I'd love to see more of the owls, my daughter loves them. Cheers and keep up the great work!
I'm totally with you on the owl nest! Wildlife brings a ridiculous amount of joy. Having blue tits choose our garden to nest is an honour. It's almost stag beetle season and I'm so excited for it!
They have just put the stock on the hundred foot washlands next to me in Cambridgeshire and the sounds and smells take me back to my holidays on the farm. The winter was wet and the washlands were well flooded so I had the geese and swans in the winter and now the grazing is top notch with all the fertile silt washed down. Sounds like we’re both blessed. ❤
Chris I think it alot of people who ride on the road, can't control (ride) their horses, so they panic as soon as anything out of the ordinary comes along.
I live in the Commonwealth of Virginia, USA. Fox hunting on horse back is a big thing. The hunters think nothing of trampling through private property claiming they have the right to do so because it is a tradition. That is until the courts stepped in.
Love you and your family sir! Thank you for all you hard, wonderful work! You farmers are not getting the praise you deserve or the support you need. We the people need and love youse farmers, so thank you my friend, from me and my family, thank you!
A large number of Horse riders have no 'country' background and hence their entitlement. I'm from Farming family going back to Victorian times and some off the stories of entitlement when moving Cows after milking, smell of dung complaints, Bulk Tanker attendance, you would get a great laugh! Yet they swan around the Supermarket as though the food appears by magic. Farming now is a battleground against do gooders and Woke wierdo's!
I've driven milk tankers and fuel tankers for years, every time I see someone on a horse I brace myself for an argument. I've met plenty of nice ones but equally as many who want to take umbridge with me even if I've stopped and switched my engine off😂
WTF has "Woke" (whatever that is) got to do with it? Seriously, by far the most "Woke" (ie tofu-eating, quinoa-promnoting a-holes) I've met have been preciselky the Tories who keep on referring to that as some sort of demographic. The rest of the people who you might be describing as "Woke" are just people who DON'T want to promote the unthinking hatred that those who use the term direct at the supposedly "Woke" BTW, I do come from a farming background (going back much further than the Victorians), but that doesn't mean that I find cause to detest anybody, whether woke or not. I'd also point out that by FAR the most detestable character (not really a farmer, just a landowner) was an arms dealer who would have definitely been on the side of the anti "Woke" brigade. So you can stuff that BS where the sun don't shine, matey.
@@davidcolin6519 So you don't know what woke is but rail against woke Tories. True, you don't seem to know what "woke" means, so I would avoid commenting on the subject if I were you.
@@nerdyali4154 The word woke is so overused these days it's almost lost it's true meaning. All it means is someone who is against inequality and discrimination etc. and wanting fairness. It's oft spouted by right wing illiterate Neanderthals who've bastardised the word to suit their own narrative.
One thing I love is the baa-ing of sheep! The different tones you hear really crack me up. Sorry about the rude, impatient rider. Haven't ridden for years but I was always courteous to drivers and pedestrians, it's not too much to ask courtesy in return, is it?
could always change gates so they swing both ways, that way you could use them to block the road at both points. just an idea. "road temporary closed, moving livestock" signs on both gates will cover you 🤞😁
I know next to nothing about farming but that looked great. Moving all those sheep and them not going where they wanted was impressive. Some people on horses feel very entitled in my experience and need to get of their high horse now and again and remember we are not all la di da leather and tweed. Keep doing your thing mate!
@5:52 "...3 that snuck off...classic sheep move!" ROFL 😂. Not usually interested in farming, found channel by accident, usually don't comment until end of vids but your love of your vocation and cracking sense of humour is compulsive. My bet is that you're a cracking person to knock about with. Am liking and subscribing. Thanks for posting. 👍
The interaction between you and your cows and sheep is wonderful. Love your dog sitting in your truck like your farmhand. I saw an owl in my garden for the first time sitting on the line in my garden the other night, knew it was an owl by the silhouette made me so happy that it graced me with its presence. As for the woman on the horse, having done animal rescue, their are two kinds of people. Those who love and care about all animals and those who only care about their own animals and themselves. You have a lovely smile on your face which shows how content you are in your work. God bless you your wife and family and your animals.
Love what you're doing. Important. And to the WHY. People have different levels off empat and awareness.(ego, id, superego). Not everyone have the ability to see what's happening around them. You will find them everywhere.
I grew up with Morgans. We rode and drove on roads and our horses were super chill. I’d be nervous at first, but my mom sad they were fine. If you are the nervous, then you wait for others. If you dive, be ready to swim. Unrelated, I love how the sheep jump over the little ditch
First video of yours I have watched. Instant SUB... I could watch this all day. I know there is a lot of hard work that goes on on a farm. I have an acre in France around our renovation project and whilst i'd love to have a little farmstead with sheep, goats and chickens and a couple of squealers we are not there full time so I shall ave to make do with watching your videos and Jeremey Clarksons farm because one hour of countryfile and the Archers just isn't enough LOL
I don't know anything about sheep farming, but I can imagine they must make you laugh sometimes. Their voices and antics made me smile, thanks for the video.
Can’t help but agree with you mate. I watched a local guy drive at oncoming traffic and shout abuse at them to make them stop because his missus was on a sketchy horse in front of him. No end of entitlement nowadays.
Sorry about the horse. As everyone else says, she could have been a lot more reasonable about it. Always lovely to see your sheep. Why wasn't Indy rounding them up for you? She's such a good sheep dog.
You both do so well. Don't let one snotty prat on a horse upset you. The person isn't worth your effort and emotion. There will always be one You are both so much better. Thanks for great content and being you. Oh and massive congratulations on another destroyer of things coming g to your family soon. Loving the journey and you both. Than you ❤❤❤❤
I have to say, I know just how chuffed you must be to have found your owl nest. I live in Spain, on the edge of a small village in the foothills of the Pyrenees, and we have all sorts of owls, from Little Owls all the way through tawny and barn owls up to Eagle Owls (I believe that they're the biggest owl found in Europe). Unfortunately, you rarely even see these amazing birds, but hear them regularly. I have, on a couple of occasions, been driving at night and looked across to see an owl keeping pace with the car, absolutely amazing, and I feel truly privileged to have seen these beautiful, and incredibly helpful animals.
Don't let miserable people get in your way. Love the vids keep it up I think if you keep a herd of cattle personally would keep hereford because when I was 10 I bought a hereford cross bucket calf and she was outwinted all her life and she is 3 now and has a lovely lim cross hereford calf and he is doing very very well
You seem a really decent guy who actually cares for his animals and his land, so nice to see. Keep it up! I do love cows though, such nice faces on them and very intelligent too
Hi Chris, I have horses and the horse she was riding would have probably spooked at the sheep. That being said, I try to train my horses to get used to those things. I live in the u.s. but I would think with so many sheep in the area that she would have a thought of that. We all need to share this earth of ours and be kind.
Horse riding in the UK is very different from where you live, Anna: There are nearly 70,000,000 humans on these little islands, with an area approximately the same size as Kansas. Owning a horse here is exceptionally expensive, and therefore the pool of people who do regularly ride skews towards the overprivileged with a sense of self-entitlement.
looks like great fun and a lot of hard work. I like how you got excited about the quality of the grass haha nice , 3 is also the magic number :) sheep adhere to that also it seems.
I am Australian and I must say what beautiful grass land you have. So green and lush.With some of our cattle stations in the interior I honestly don't know what the poor creatures find to eat. I am a townie and don't really know about farming at all.I used to live in Gloucester NSW and we did get good years with plenty of rain and others where the rivers and creaks would dry up.One thing that did surprise me was, one day driving along a dirt road A rather large bull started running after my van on the other side of a fence, all of a sudden he jumped over about a mtr high fence clearing it and drainage ditch completely. It was time to put pedal to metal and go.
Had a friend whose parents lived in the middle of a game reserve. There were 2 buffalo that lived in the camp the house was in and they did not like cars. Made for some interesting dashes to the gate..
Most horse riders aren’t like this, living in the countryside I appreciate the hard work farmers do and when riding try to quickly get out of the way of tractors on the road and if sheep are being moved either wait patiently or go a different way, unfortunately too many people see the countryside as their playground rather than a working environment. Sorry for your bad experience, and please continue to be careful around horses, they can’t help it if their riders are idiots 😢 xx
There are unfortunately a lot of horse riders like that who think the world revolves around them. I too am so considerate not to spook their horses but such consideration can be a one way thing. Thanks for sharing a little of your life, very enlightening. At least all this rain is giving unusually lush pasture for your flock!! Lol
TH-cam algorithm brought me here. No complaints. A good find! I've had issues with people on horses before when on the Mountain Bikes. Shouting at us. Telling us to move. That they have right of way.... On a mountain bike trail....
As a younger man, I mountain biked on single track around 100 miles a week. The only people I EVER had conflict with were horse riders! Of course when trail maintenance days rolled around, guess how many horse riders showed up. Yep, you guessed it, not one!
I don't usually watch anything like this???? I found it AMAZING TO WATCH!! Heart warming in parts. Best of luck to you! Something I feel more town/City people should see? To, actually appreciate what you farmers/Shepherds have to do to raise healthy animals.,........ KEEP UP YOUR GREAT WORK! (I AM CERTAIN !! ... If you advertised for volunteers? You'd be surprised on just how many people would love to give up a portion of there time to help you) Just a thought on help freely available on those sheep/lamb run's?
The amount of joy, the baby owls, bring you shows you have a live and active soul. Beautiful grass I’m jealous. I’m sorry to tell you, sir I think you have racist sheep I noticed the black ones were segregated in a group.
Made my day seeing your sheep skills, ps i now nothing about farm animal's despite living near the countryside Us cockneys only know an horse is used for delivering our beer
That BlackFace 2:30 / 9:18 wasn't keen on you pointing at him lol. You are a natural personality. Nice to watch -- Thank You EDIT It is called 'Pissed with ones importance' The Horse Woman. Not the sort of person you would think would be involved with Horses as patience is the key attribute. I still enjoyed watching it, I wont let people like that spoil my day but I know it's hard not to lol. Thanks again.
i'm from the u.s.... i do miss the sheep herds when i was growing up, the basque/euskalduna had huge herds where i grew up (we'd stopped city traffic to move them from field to field) ... and now there's none... i can't even find lamb chops at the market/shop now....they're great animals
That nest is awesome! (Grew up in the deep country surrounded by farmers and never met one that didn't like the animals, the outdoors and village life! - Great folks!)
Beilliant finding the owls, I raised a little owl chick. It used to go hunting in the evenings and return to its rabbit hutch during the day and at night. I'll never forget the last day he flew off, gave a little yappy bark as a thankyou, and that was it.
I love how people want to live and be in the countryside but don't want the countryside to happen anywhere near them!

Don't trick your luck, he said.
Mine said something similar but he wasn't very clear about it, I have been herding trucks and licking sheep ever since.
Big Tech can't tell me not to lick my truck.

Very similar energy to sport-cyclists. 🚴♂️

Classic! 😅😅😅😅
There's a reason we have the saying "get off your high horse".
The problem is the rider wasn’t confident in handling her horse - that’s the top and bottom of it. She’s the danger and shouldn’t be on the road.

Agreed, but how many people do you know who wouldn’t be able to get back on again without help or a mounting block of some sort! Aside from the fact that they probably shouldn’t be up there in the first place!
woman... are you seeing the problem here, gents?
@@andrewdaniel3047 That never even occurred to me. I used to help out exercising my friends horses and most of the time we didn't saddle them. I didn't even consider it an especially difficult task. Just grab a big hunk of mane right at the neck, stand by the head ,take a couple running steps ,a jump and swing on over. Stirrups are even easier.
@@StanlyTPT No, I only see a misguided misogynist. You know Gent is short for gentleman right?. You can't be misogynistic and also refer to your peers as gents lol. All your peers are scallywags.
@@StanlyTPT Good one haha! She is either selfish or can't control her horse when spooked.
As a horse rider who rides on the road frequently, she should of waited. Of she felt unsafe on her horse she could of dismounted and got back on up the road. It's not that hard.
Love the videos.
should of?
could of?
Who taught you this?
From a farming family, so that narcissistic rider encounter made me sigh. I grew up around people who rode horses to do their work: ranch hands, back-country packers, real cowboys. While most of my encounters with recreational riders have been pleasant, there were a few who barely seemed to notice us when we met on a trail or unpaved road. Gorgeous farm and animals; thanks for sharing them with us!
Probably because if she'd waited she'd have ended up on her arse 🤦🏻♀️ sounds like she wasn't confident that her horse would have stayed sane. She could have dismounted and asked for a leg up get back on... I'm a horse rider btw. 🙃
Why do so many people ride horses they cannot remount from the ground, it's ridiculous. I used to own two horses for pleasure hacks (and driving ) but within a sensible size for myself and road safe.
This is the most wholesome video I've seen in months, and popped up randomly in my feed.

I'd love to see more of the owls, my daughter loves them. Cheers and keep up the great work!
Me too
I'm totally with you on the owl nest! Wildlife brings a ridiculous amount of joy. Having blue tits choose our garden to nest is an honour. It's almost stag beetle season and I'm so excited for it!
If you've got bluetits, try wearing a thicker jumper.🙃
I live in the countryside and these are the sights and sounds every day l feel blessed life's good best wishes to you
They have just put the stock on the hundred foot washlands next to me in Cambridgeshire and the sounds and smells take me back to my holidays on the farm.
The winter was wet and the washlands were well flooded so I had the geese and swans in the winter and now the grazing is top notch with all the fertile silt washed down. Sounds like we’re both blessed. ❤
Chris I think it alot of people who ride on the road, can't control (ride) their horses, so they panic as soon as anything out of the ordinary comes along.
Totally agree. Then the horse feeds of that anxious energy. Vicious cycle.
A working farm takes precedence over horse riders.
Don't make excuses for her...
If they don't feel like they have complete control of their horse, they shouldn't be on the road...
Bloody horse riders.
The percentage of arrogant entitled types on the back of those noble animals gets my goat.
Yep, i’ve had this same thing recently. Entitled Karen’s who think their concerns trump everything and everyone else! Pathetic, immature narcissists!
I live in the Commonwealth of Virginia, USA. Fox hunting on horse back is a big thing. The hunters think nothing of trampling through private property claiming they have the right to do so because it is a tradition. That is until the courts stepped in.
Virginia is nothing more than an extension of the metropolis now.
Fox had more rights than the property owners
The fact you separated 90% of your sheep and cows with a horn is impressive hahah😂
Love you and your family sir! Thank you for all you hard, wonderful work! You farmers are not getting the praise you deserve or the support you need. We the people need and love youse farmers, so thank you my friend, from me and my family, thank you!
A large number of Horse riders have no 'country' background and hence their entitlement. I'm from Farming family going back to Victorian times and some off the stories of entitlement when moving Cows after milking, smell of dung complaints, Bulk Tanker attendance, you would get a great laugh! Yet they swan around the Supermarket as though the food appears by magic. Farming now is a battleground against do gooders and Woke wierdo's!
I've driven milk tankers and fuel tankers for years, every time I see someone on a horse I brace myself for an argument. I've met plenty of nice ones but equally as many who want to take umbridge with me even if I've stopped and switched my engine off😂
The normal, sensible people of the UK appreciate all of your hard work and professionalism, keep the good work up.
WTF has "Woke" (whatever that is) got to do with it?
Seriously, by far the most "Woke" (ie tofu-eating, quinoa-promnoting a-holes) I've met have been preciselky the Tories who keep on referring to that as some sort of demographic. The rest of the people who you might be describing as "Woke" are just people who DON'T want to promote the unthinking hatred that those who use the term direct at the supposedly "Woke"
BTW, I do come from a farming background (going back much further than the Victorians), but that doesn't mean that I find cause to detest anybody, whether woke or not.
I'd also point out that by FAR the most detestable character (not really a farmer, just a landowner) was an arms dealer who would have definitely been on the side of the anti "Woke" brigade. So you can stuff that BS where the sun don't shine, matey.
@@davidcolin6519 So you don't know what woke is but rail against woke Tories. True, you don't seem to know what "woke" means, so I would avoid commenting on the subject if I were you.
@@nerdyali4154 The word woke is so overused these days it's almost lost it's true meaning. All it means is someone who is against inequality and discrimination etc. and wanting fairness. It's oft spouted by right wing illiterate Neanderthals who've bastardised the word to suit their own narrative.
She won't wait because her name is Penelope, her daddy is VERY rich & he's NEVER said "no" to her for the whole of her life.
And she will also say, "I wanna live like common people"
Great moniker!
@@terryoneil7128 Thank you!!
I am the world that hides the universal secret of all time!!
Thats a good point .they're always waving cars to slow down.
One way merchants
Zoe looking beautiful , feel bad for horses they have to carry around some real asses,,
One thing I love is the baa-ing of sheep! The different tones you hear really crack me up. Sorry about the rude, impatient rider. Haven't ridden for years but I was always courteous to drivers and pedestrians, it's not too much to ask courtesy in return, is it?
Yes, my experience is that sheep love to run through an opening and they follow each other 😂
could always change gates so they swing both ways, that way you could use them to block the road at both points. just an idea. "road temporary closed, moving livestock" signs on both gates will cover you 🤞😁
Thanks for what you do folks. Love our farmers 👌
Arrogance. selfish, entitled. careless. Thoughts become words, words become actions, it by one's actions that one is known.
The joy you got from the owls is normal. It made me feel the same way! We had foxes in our garden and we felt so lucky!
I know next to nothing about farming but that looked great. Moving all those sheep and them not going where they wanted was impressive. Some people on horses feel very entitled in my experience and need to get of their high horse now and again and remember we are not all la di da leather and tweed. Keep doing your thing mate!
My sentiments entirely!
@5:52 "...3 that snuck off...classic sheep move!" ROFL 😂. Not usually interested in farming, found channel by accident, usually don't comment until end of vids but your love of your vocation and cracking sense of humour is compulsive. My bet is that you're a cracking person to knock about with. Am liking and subscribing. Thanks for posting. 👍
Love this video! We moved to the countryside especially for these experiences. Keep up the good work.
The interaction between you and your cows and sheep is wonderful. Love your dog sitting in your truck like your farmhand. I saw an owl in my garden for the first time sitting on the line in my garden the other night, knew it was an owl by the silhouette made me so happy that it graced me with its presence. As for the woman on the horse, having done animal rescue, their are two kinds of people. Those who love and care about all animals and those who only care about their own animals and themselves. You have a lovely smile on your face which shows how content you are in your work. God bless you your wife and family and your animals.
Your love of what you do is contageous. Thank you for sharing. ❤ from Texas.
Love what you're doing. Important. And to the WHY. People have different levels off empat and awareness.(ego, id, superego). Not everyone have the ability to see what's happening around them. You will find them everywhere.
Really admire you both for all the hard work you do. Some awkward people try to spoil your day...keep up the great vlogs !!!
What a lovely video. Having lived in the Southwest for a bit, this made me totally homesick. Great job!
lambs looking very well fed. But the sheep are looking even better fed. Love watching you Chris (and Zoe) always put a smile on my face.
The lambs would look even better next to a few roast potatoes.
I grew up with Morgans. We rode and drove on roads and our horses were super chill. I’d be nervous at first, but my mom sad they were fine. If you are the nervous, then you wait for others. If you dive, be ready to swim.
Unrelated, I love how the sheep jump over the little ditch
First video of yours I have watched. Instant SUB... I could watch this all day. I know there is a lot of hard work that goes on on a farm. I have an acre in France around our renovation project and whilst i'd love to have a little farmstead with sheep, goats and chickens and a couple of squealers we are not there full time so I shall ave to make do with watching your videos and Jeremey Clarksons farm because one hour of countryfile and the Archers just isn't enough LOL
I don't know anything about sheep farming, but I can imagine they must make you laugh sometimes. Their voices and antics made me smile, thanks for the video.
Can’t help but agree with you mate. I watched a local guy drive at oncoming traffic and shout abuse at them to make them stop because his missus was on a sketchy horse in front of him. No end of entitlement nowadays.
Stumbled across you on this. Loved the filming and delivery style. Have subscribed 🙂👍
First time watching your videos this morning. Very wholesome and entertaining, this made me so happy to see. Keep up the good work.
May have been a young horse! I would have turned round and gone back in the direction I had came until the road was clear.
Too obvious for some I'm afraid.
Excellent video again thanks for sharing some people all they about is themselves!
Couldn’t agree more Chris and Zoe. Does she realise the danger for this sheep. oh NO?
What a lovely video, seeing all those sheep running made me smile :) You have good energy dude :)
No horses around here,we do our best to keep them away.
I was wondering where this was, Until I saw the potholes in the road. It could only be England!
Great vid. Nice you found the nest.
Sadly, too many people these days think they’re so much more important than others.
Really enjoying your videos Chris👍Love your sense of humour too! Keep up the good work 😀👏🏻🐑🐑🐑
Sorry about the horse. As everyone else says, she could have been a lot more reasonable about it. Always lovely to see your sheep. Why wasn't Indy rounding them up for you? She's such a good sheep dog.
First time viewer…. Great watch, great countryside, all the very best!
You both do so well. Don't let one snotty prat on a horse upset you. The person isn't worth your effort and emotion. There will always be one You are both so much better. Thanks for great content and being you. Oh and massive congratulations on another destroyer of things coming g to your family soon. Loving the journey and you both. Than you ❤❤❤❤
I have to say, I know just how chuffed you must be to have found your owl nest.
I live in Spain, on the edge of a small village in the foothills of the Pyrenees, and we have all sorts of owls, from Little Owls all the way through tawny and barn owls up to Eagle Owls (I believe that they're the biggest owl found in Europe). Unfortunately, you rarely even see these amazing birds, but hear them regularly. I have, on a couple of occasions, been driving at night and looked across to see an owl keeping pace with the car, absolutely amazing, and I feel truly privileged to have seen these beautiful, and incredibly helpful animals.
You make me smile!!! Those lambs are looking plump!
this was very relaxing to watch, think it lowered my blood pressure, cheers
Don't let miserable people get in your way. Love the vids keep it up I think if you keep a herd of cattle personally would keep hereford because when I was 10 I bought a hereford cross bucket calf and she was outwinted all her life and she is 3 now and has a lovely lim cross hereford calf and he is doing very very well
You seem a really decent guy who actually cares for his animals and his land, so nice to see. Keep it up! I do love cows though, such nice faces on them and very intelligent too
This is the most enjoyable video I've seen on TH-cam for a long time. Thanks.
Hi Chris, I have horses and the horse she was riding would have probably spooked at the sheep. That being said, I try to train my horses to get used to those things. I live in the u.s. but I would think with so many sheep in the area that she would have a thought of that. We all need to share this earth of ours and be kind.
Horse riding in the UK is very different from where you live, Anna: There are nearly 70,000,000 humans on these little islands, with an area approximately the same size as Kansas. Owning a horse here is exceptionally expensive, and therefore the pool of people who do regularly ride skews towards the overprivileged with a sense of self-entitlement.
Kept on nodding off counting those sheep going past 😴🏴
looks like great fun and a lot of hard work. I like how you got excited about the quality of the grass haha nice , 3 is also the magic number :) sheep adhere to that also it seems.
Ok, let me break this down…Two words, “woman” and “horse”. One word, “entitlement”!
I always get the feeling there's something else going on ....
I am Australian and I must say what beautiful grass land you have. So green and lush.With some of our cattle stations in the interior I honestly don't know what the poor creatures find to eat. I am a townie and don't really know about farming at all.I used to live in Gloucester NSW and we did get good years with plenty of rain and others where the rivers and creaks would dry up.One thing that did surprise me was, one day driving along a dirt road A rather large bull started running after my van on the other side of a fence, all of a sudden he jumped over about a mtr high fence clearing it and drainage ditch completely. It was time to put pedal to metal and go.
Had a friend whose parents lived in the middle of a game reserve. There were 2 buffalo that lived in the camp the house was in and they did not like cars. Made for some interesting dashes to the gate..
Farmer with a mullet? I like your style. Kinda cool how you have a bit of everything. Animals, an orchard and some crops.
I see you utilising the universally accepted design for a gate closure device. Kudos to you for keeping up with the latest technological innovations.
Horse riders… unbelievable! Loving this channel👍
Had no idea you could get a springer to do that, thought they'd be too bonkers! Nice one.
Most horse riders aren’t like this, living in the countryside I appreciate the hard work farmers do and when riding try to quickly get out of the way of tractors on the road and if sheep are being moved either wait patiently or go a different way, unfortunately too many people see the countryside as their playground rather than a working environment. Sorry for your bad experience, and please continue to be careful around horses, they can’t help it if their riders are idiots 😢 xx
There are unfortunately a lot of horse riders like that who think the world revolves around them. I too am so considerate not to spook their horses but such consideration can be a one way thing. Thanks for sharing a little of your life, very enlightening. At least all this rain is giving unusually lush pasture for your flock!!
Lol
TH-cam algorithm brought me here. No complaints. A good find!
I've had issues with people on horses before when on the Mountain Bikes. Shouting at us. Telling us to move. That they have right of way.... On a mountain bike trail....
People have become so entitled. There's nothing in the universe more important than their deified own person.
Move to the country for the lifestyle if you can happily support the people who’s livelihood is the country... without farmers, you don’t eat!
As a younger man, I mountain biked on single track around 100 miles a week. The only people I EVER had conflict with were horse riders! Of course when trail maintenance days rolled around, guess how many horse riders showed up. Yep, you guessed it, not one!
I don't usually watch anything like this????
I found it AMAZING TO WATCH!! Heart warming in parts. Best of luck to you! Something I feel more town/City people should see? To, actually appreciate what you farmers/Shepherds have to do to raise healthy animals.,........ KEEP UP YOUR GREAT WORK!
(I AM CERTAIN !! ... If you advertised for volunteers? You'd be surprised on just how many people would love to give up a portion of there time to help you) Just a thought on help freely available on those sheep/lamb run's?
Zoey is certainly looking well and strong to be contending with another Karen on the lose.
You have some healthy looking fields, good job with the rotations.
That's a nice small flock of sheep you have, subbed.
I've often come across people like that unfortunately they are there
The amount of joy, the baby owls, bring you shows you have a live and active soul. Beautiful grass I’m jealous. I’m sorry to tell you, sir I think you have racist sheep I noticed the black ones were segregated in a group.
Made my day seeing your sheep skills, ps i now nothing about farm animal's despite living near the countryside
Us cockneys only know an horse is used for delivering our beer
That BlackFace 2:30 / 9:18 wasn't keen on you pointing at him lol. You are a natural personality. Nice to watch -- Thank You EDIT It is called 'Pissed with ones importance' The Horse Woman. Not the sort of person you would think would be involved with Horses as patience is the key attribute. I still enjoyed watching it, I wont let people like that spoil my day but I know it's hard not to lol. Thanks again.
i'm from the u.s.... i do miss the sheep herds when i was growing up, the basque/euskalduna had huge herds where i grew up (we'd stopped city traffic to move them from field to field) ... and now there's none... i can't even find lamb chops at the market/shop now....they're great animals
Chris when I watch your videos I never leave till the very end like watching Tom Pemberton to you both make extremely good content
That nest is awesome!
(Grew up in the deep country surrounded by farmers and never met one that didn't like the animals, the outdoors and village life! - Great folks!)
Beilliant finding the owls, I raised a little owl chick. It used to go hunting in the evenings and return to its rabbit hutch during the day and at night. I'll never forget the last day he flew off, gave a little yappy bark as a thankyou, and that was it.
You just appeared out of nowhere, Chris. I’ve subscribed and have some catching up to do.
