What a lovely sight noble handsome animals in the midst of all that traffic ,noise and toxic fumes and they are happily responding to your voice no need for raised voices whatsoever i always knew horses like quiet and gentle people around them
Love the ears on these two. I have to say that you have some lovely scenery to drive through. I love how you are getting the horses used to so much stuff. They'll be so great to drive when you are done.
Thanks for your question - they are called "cow collars" and we use them for horses that slip their headcollars. Sometimes underhalters aren't strong enough to tie a horse up in, and normal headcollars with metal fittings can rub the horse's face if worn underneath the bridle. To ensure we can tie the horses up in an emergency if needed and to act as a back-up to the headcollar if the horse knows how to slip it off, we use one of these.
Thank you for answering! Silly horses slipping off their tack...at least it shows they are smart! I love watching your videos, love your accent...thanks for sharing your life and work with us.
Interesting to watch progression, like them being able to cock their leg and rest while waiting in town. It looks like when you have a second person they do a job of directing traffic and lane change signalling.
@IL4aerc Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too! Firstly, I'm unsure exactly what you mean by a "neck yoke" - we are using English breast collar harness and in this film we are using pole chains to attach them to the pole instead of straps. With regards to your pair, obviously without seeing them it is difficult to tell the exact cause of the problem - can you post a video up of your pair when they do this i.e. their normal routine, where they get ready etc, so we can see in more detail?
nicely done... that traffic, those horses are braver than i am !

I've watched near enough all your videos, and I enjoy them, but it's the Friesian ones I get the most pleasure from, thank you

this is beautiful. Just amazing to see the connection between the horse and driver. :]

Brilliant, lovely to see people understanding their horses! Keep it up
Nice pair.
Very important to learn them to stand.

@operaluvr Happy New Year to you and Gunnar too!
beautiful
They're perfect to me
A wonderful video taking those Friesian stallions from less demanding exercises to some tough ones.
Richard Swan beautiful horses
