CC, I wanted to congratulate you on the success of your channel. 112K subscribers in just over 2 years is really impressive. I've gone back and watched a couple of your videos where you talked about your TH-cam journey. You really did your research, and worked hard to make it a success. It's so nice to see good things happen for good, hard working people like you!
There are some videos where you go through your day and I feel physically tired just watching all you do with the hay, the turds, the grooming, the hoof clipping, lugging saddles around, building shelters, chasing huckleberry, tiny snuggles, running around trying to catch Nigel, making mashes, late night vet visits, not to mention training and the shear emotional labor of it all as well. I can’t imagine doing all that during the day and then going home to do editing as well. You are superwoman! 👏👏👏
I still don’t know how people have the gall to criticize you when they just see a 30 minute part of your day three or four times a week. You don’t owe them or any of us an explanation.
Because they don't see into her reasoning and are pretty much shortsighted and apparently think they posses some kind of power of being always right no matter how little information they have.
Why are there so many comments like this on every video? She's a youtuber, there's no reason anyone should assume she knows what she's doing unless she demonstrates it. While I've seen enough of her videos to trust her, I've also seen videos of other channels where people were acting like they knew what they were doing and they clearly didn't. Not to mention the many youtuber scandals where the creator was straight up lying and hiding abuse behind the scenes. NO ONE is above questioning.
@@pendlera2959 if anyone has watched her videos at all they will know her expertise. Very unlikely the random commentator knows as much or more than she does about her own horses many of them she has had for years.
Seriously. CC has extensive education on the care and management of horses and works incredibly hard all day, every day to ensure they all have everything they need to be healthy and happy.
I don't understand why some people get upset at your lack of riding them. I mean.. Horses weren't born in the wild with a human on their back. Sure, some find the exercise enjoyable but I'm betting they're happy to just be horses that aren't being abused or neglected.
After years and years of having horses, I realized I much prefer hanging out with my horses, doing non-riding things - hiking, in-hand obstacles, body work. It is ok to love connecting with horses but not enjoy riding that much ❤🎉🐴
That was such a cute comedy moment in this video. I'm sure Tiny was just silently waiting on purpose, just to see how long it will take for CC to notice her. 🤭
Love how Ziggy showed off with his little Arabian head toss at the end of the video. I think he is such a good companion (in lack of a better term) for Scarlet. He gets some zest from her, and she gets some manners from him. I hope Pearl keeps improving. She seems like a fighter and a kind horse.
@@Elizabeth-rh1hl I agree! She deserves better than she was getting and CC is the best. Pearl looks like she has been loved .. and knowa a good person when she sees her. Thanks CC for saving her 💕
My heart just hurts for her... to think she lived with hunger. I'm so grateful for people like CC who care enough to get them to a better life. It inspires me to keep helping out as much as I can do in my own walk of life.
Stewie is such a nice, easygoing boy - one of those "Yeah, whatever. It's fine." kind of guys. We loved them at our rescue because, being bombproof, they were super easy to foster and get adopted. Does Pearl's belly look a little better? So right to keep her on her own, to rest and eat stress-free and without interference. All your horses are special, of course, but the dumped, unwanted seniors seen as virtually worthless, like Ziggy and Pearl, just touch my heart.💕 Thank you for taking them in!
It bothers me a lot when you say people give you a hard time about something. You are doing a great job and your horses are all very lucky.l I enjoy your videos and your stable management is very exemplary. While I had my horses always in a barn/arena situation, I did my share of chores and stalls and appreciate the work involved. Keep up the great job.
CC, you don’t need to explain yourself to the trolls. I believe the majority of your fans and viewers know how hard you work with your babies. For gosh sake, you do this all on your own! And record it to share with us. It is much appreciated to share your horse life with us. Makes me wonder what kind of people the trolls are in real life.
Oh, I'm so sorry! I've been where you are and it's awful! I hope I'm not overstepping, but if I can offer a bit of advice? Speak to your Dr about Diclofenac (if you haven't taken it already). It's an anti-inflammatory that is one of the only things that helped me. Also, oil of winter green applied topically was also surprisingly effective. I hope you find a solution and get relief! Hugs
Thank God that you prefer to deal with horses who have issues. I don't want to think where your horses would be if you weren't there. I can see all your hard work in both the horses and the condition of their pens and stables. Thank you so much for all you do for them and for letting us come along for the journey.
For all of those that say you don't spend enough time with your horses just need to watch you more. Eventually they will see the many things you do, how time consuming all the chores are and earning a horses trust and confidence in you, takes a lot of time and patience. You take so much time to pin-point exactly what each of your horses need. No one knows your horses better than you!
The folks that don't think you put in enough time. Never owned their own farm. 90% of the work is fixing and cleaning. Then you get to handle them. Which is often vetting the scratches and cuts. Then you get to ride.
Another channel i subscribed to is Painted Desert Ranch. They also are super hard workers. Like CC, they are quite handy with tools and it seems like there are lots of opportunities to put them to use. My favorite channels, The Clever Cowgirl and Painted Desert Ranch. All about horses and hard work and not trying to sell us lipstick and lotion (not really knocking them, just not my thing).
I absolutely love Tiny looking bewildered as you call for her to make sure she isn't in the trailer's tack room. She had the expression of "Hey! I'm right here, why are you calling for me???"
Yeah that was so sweet to her Tiny's meow "I'm here". And then, sure enough, later in the video Tiny did indeed jump in the trailer's tack room when CC wasn't looking...
Not sure why anyone who actually watches the channel would get on your case about how you spend your time. It’s obvious that you are constantly on the go with the care and maintenance of both the property and the animals. Not to mention the dramatic weather Montana gets to add to the challenge. Plus, you do need to eat and sleep occasionally as well! 😊
If I searched the whole world over I don't think I could find anyone more perfect than you to care for horses. You are amazing, kind and know exactly what you are doing. Thank you, you have created a must watch channel and deserve every success with it. 🙏🏼✨
Yeah, I love seeing those mountain and yes, it is therapy for me too. When I see the love and care and intelligence you bring to your work, it's a wonderful teacher and healer for me.
@@nezlquasie I check frequently for new videos even though I have notifications on. On one of CCs videos she said that she had a goal of posting 3 videos a week. I was like, “what. Only 3? I need more!” 🤣 I do watch the older ones to get me through and I am getting somewhat better at telling the brown boys apart.
I shouted your channel out on another channel that adopted a 19 year old pony. The viewers thought that was "old" and I wanted people to see your "old" boys so they could appreciate the value of the elders. LOL I wish I could have seen their reaction especially to seeing Nigel in all his spunky glory! LOL I hope the Cog Hill Farm viewers are some of your new subscribers! Hugs
Handsome Pete with his mix of dark brown colours. Even a small black binliner can spook a horse when it moves unexpectedly. You are amazing to accustom your horses to such a big piece of tarp. You have so much patience and tolerance.
Pete is absolutely gorgeous. They are all beautiful of course but he’s special. Mare- Pearl is looking better but so glad she has you to not give up on her and get her back to her best self. Thank you CC for what you do and for sharing with us.
Maybe I'm just coming at this more from the pet owning side of things than the equestrian side, but I don't quite understand this idea that if your horses aren't being productive then you're doing something wrong 😅 They seem to have great lives! And watching them all grow in their own ways is lovely!
They(the horses) are helping to educate those of us who may love horses, but don't really know much about them. And CC can continue and expand her own education with each new horse she brings home.
@@LoveThoseTunes11 That's true! These horses are being productive in that way and it's really great. But I also think that if it were nearly any other animal, nobody would think it was weird if you wanted to use your money and resources and knowledge to just let that animal have a happy life without that animal having a job. Obviously lots of people don't have the resources to keep a horse that's not in work, but if you do and that's what you want to do, why not?
@turtledov_ Exactly. People don't expect a rescued cat or other pet to have a job. Why are they so fixated on demanding that CC ride the horses she owns, eventhough she obviously knows what she's doing and how to do it.
I think just getting her to move will help pearly poo. Curious to see what the vet comes up with also. And those stones are so crazy to see I hope the rest come out easy .
I'm so glad you are giving a realistic picture of the work and cost of horse ownership. And of the things that can and do go wrong sometimes and what it takes to fix them. You are right that there is so much that isn't glamorous in having a horse. Also, sometimes the people you learn the most from are not wearing the trendiest clothes, or using the newest gear, sometimes they're old cowboys who been around horses all their lives and learned from hard knocks, some of the people I learned most from were the older, mostly brown guys who cleaned the stalls at the houty touty stables, because when the stable owner and the horse owners weren't there, these guys were. They didn't know the educated terminology, but they knew horses, and often they knew people ,too. There's alot to be said for life experience. And I am not by any means knocking book learning or paid-for lessons, I learned from those as well, I'm saying don't discount the stuff that's not. If you're open to it, there are gems out there, they just might not look or sound like it. CC is definitely a real life experience and book learned gem!!!!
What a great comment thats how i learnt. Most people know how to ride but not many truly understand them and their needs. C.C puts the horse first and studies their individual needs. I respect all the great people i met who knew things that stayed with me and as nearly all said u never know it all u r always learning. Your comment struck a chord with me Nancy. Hug from london
@@suemaher5282 Thank you so much. I was afraid I didn't say it well, and that I'd anger people. So glad to know my experience was not unique. Hug right back at you, Sue!
@@Nancy-mi3xe U put it perfectly and honestly and I wish u and your family seasons greetings and a great New Year. There are plenty with our experiences I find them the ones to listen to. U have a talent with writing Nancy
I love these training sessions, the way you understand the differences in your horses and then address their needs is really amazing. I have to admit my favorite part of the video was you standing in the door of your trailer calling for Tiny, and she's standing right below you, like Here I am for goodness sake!! Love all your animals on your Happy Acres Farm (that's my nickname for your place).
As always, so impressed with the patience you show with these horses. Also, glad to see the supervisor stopped by so many times today. It is always good for them to see you when are working hard. 😊
I love Stewie. Being 5' tqll, 14H is perfect. I do think that Pete is one of your most beautiful horses. I loved using the indoor in the winter for teaching my mare new skills and improving the old ones. Thanks for the video.
I'm a petite shorty too (5'1) so I love shorter horses. When I trained, all of them were 16hh plus (hunter/jumper). Now that I'm older, I just want good trail horses that are safe for my kiddos and don't need a mounting block to get on 😂
Going to be a strange couple of weeks, weather wise. Pearl is a bit worrying, but, she has you, so whatever is best for her will be done. You are feeding, watering 14(?) horses, plus cleaning their living quarters, and keeping eyes and hands on all of them to make sure they are healthy, all on a daily basis. The fact that you have the time/energy to do much of anything beyond that is amazing. I would say caring for horses is rewarding; romantic, not so much, lol, but yeah, youtube.
OMG! Stewie is so cute! I absolutely love his progress and gentle personality. It is so interesting to know about each horse and their history and progress. Thank you for sharing your herd with us all!
Good for Stewie, overcoming his worries about that tarp! I love the care and patience you offer every one of your horses. I hope Pearl's wobblies are just because she's still recovering. Thanks for sharing your day with us.
Tiny is getting a workout with you hand walking Pearl! Loved her sprint, no mouse outruns that! The horses are all looking good. I wonder if all the foals Pearl has produced has done something with the ligaments in her back end? She does look a tad wobbly/weak, especially on the Rt. Hopefully the long term starvation won't leave any permanent damage to her. It still infuriates me how many horses are so poorly cared for in the world. Montana's uncared for horses are so very lucky when they find you! ❤
I live in an area where many neighbors have horses. When we drive around town, I now pay closer attention and think to myself: that horse needs work on his top line, and that one is looking a bit chunky, and for goodness sake it's 40° outside, take that blanket off before he grows fungus! Thanks CC.
The relationship and friendship is more important than just using a horse for pleasure. That's what's so nice about your videos, CC...we're all growing with your beauties. Stewie is a doll. Nice spending time with them today and letting us get to know them better....thanks. Was wondering, would Pearl benefit from some chiropractic or acupuncture treatments?
Had a laugh when you were looking for Tiny at the horsefloat. I had a kitten called feral Errol and I accidentally locked him in the tack room. He was very very happy to see me.
Pete has a secret - he has a little star hiding under his forelock. I noticed it on his previous video and again today; I've been with the channel for a year and only just spotted it. Stewie is such a pleasure to be around, lovey, curious and brave. Grow, Stewie! Grow! so you can be CC's next Frisco. We are learning so much about Pearl with each video and the upcoming vet visit promises more. What a gift that CC rescued Pearly Girl to provide ease and comfort in her old age.
I have never owned a horse and have only ridden one 10 to 15 times in my life. I never realized how much work went in to caring for a horse. And then spending time exercising and training, not just riding. It seems like riding your horse is the reward you get for all of that work
I just absolutely love Stewy's build..he is perfectly compact! Yes I am one who has kept my horses home or rented a barn with acreage..my rides were shorter than my grooms most times and that was fine by me and my horse. They just liked me being around doing horse chores..they always had their eye on me just like your herd does with you...riding or no riding, your company most days is what they love❤
I'm with you! I'd much rather be hanging out/training my horse's than riding. I enjoy their company so much more as I develop a deeper relationship with them. It's magical! I love how you are with them.
Yes, my love, I can see that she is very stiff in the back. I, personnaly, am sad that she was used as a brood mare....that is very taxing on a body. I am also excited about your channel. I love your videos.....I love listening to you discuss the horses and what is going on....Thanks for sharing your life with us. Namaste'
Stewie was a good boy today…I hope you’re able to find an indoor arena…Sweet Pearl has found a wonderful new owner…Thank you for sharing your horses with us! They’re all beautiful and know they are well cared for!
You've won me over to the utter charm of the little brown horse, even though I still adore a palomino, since that was my first love :) I admire your patience and dedication to horses that need time to heal, it's the main reason I enjoy your videos!
C.C., I love watching you school your horses. Stewie and Pete behaved well. It was good to Pearl walking about. I’m sure that she’ll be fine with a number of walks. See you soon😊
I'll take 'down home and hard working" any day!!! Much more realistic, and satisfying, to me. To each his own, I take in a few different channels , depending on what I feel like watching. But only a few that I watch everything! ❤
I always admire that you own horses as much for them as you, too many people want them as a toy to play with. I had a cousin who answered his girl's pleadings for horses with a yes, BUT... The but was that they learn about them from the hooves to the nose and about proper care from growing good fields to keeping up foot health and of course clean stalls, one of them is still a fine horse owner in her 70's and has the generational offspring of the first mare they got 60 years ago.
CC … May I suggest you install cameras around the property! You can always move them with you when you get a new property. Easy to check remotely. Would capture anything you need to know.
I cannot imagine anyone criticizing you. I have a number of cats and I know how much work that entails - just the basic care...feeding, cleaning litter boxes, giving them affections and loving time. Having any sort of animal involves work.
Stewy is so cute and curious. Love him! ❤ And I am happy to see Ziggy much happier already ❤ Tiny was sure you and Pearl might get lost if she did not come after you. It is hard work to be a manager of all things. ❤
I'm so excited everytime a new video pops up and I'm not even a horse person. I do love them though and appreciate the thoughtful and patient way you with with each horse individually. ❤
I had horse as a kid. I was planning on getting a couple when my husband and I retired. But watching your videos has reminded me how much work, care, and $ they require. Which I am not able to do.
😂 Tiny looking up at you like "I'M RIGHT HERE!" was cracking me up. At least she comes when called. Poor Pearl. I hope she gets more stable as she recovers fully from malnutrition.
Tiny adds so much entertainment to your day! I cracked up when you were looking for her in the trailer and she right there 😂 Looks like you are great entertainment for the other boys as well… as they observe you from over the fence!
I wish people would not give you a hard time. Maybe I would if I was a horse person, but I’ve only ridden a horse, probably five times in my life so it tells you what I know. I just enjoy watching you do what you do and I like your babies. Favorite? I might be falling in love with Pearl. I’m quite fond of Scarlet. And that real dark horse that is a little bit withdrawn who shares his space with three other boys as you call them. I am in the mental health field, so I also watch how you are with them and how they are with each other. This is not very polite, but I didn’t realize that they had such small brains because they have such big bodies. Keep up the great work and I’m so glad that you’re getting to be able to do this as much as you want because you have produced such good programs for us to watch. Have a good holiday and I look forward to seeing you in the new year.
For a short time when I was a kid we had 3 horses. They were healthy and taken care of. Being a kid, I didn't know much about how to take care of them, but it sure seems like it is more work to take care of horses in your climate than it was in a year around warmer climate. It is interesting to learn from you, even though I don't have a horse now and won't at my age. I also love to see the horses with the scenery in the background. And, of course, Tiny and Huckleberry.
Seeing Tiny outside below the door of the trailer, and you looking and calling on her inside the trailer was pretty funny and made me chuckle. I appreciate that as I don’t chuckle too much anymore. Did you notice though, that when you called her, both she and Stewie started moving toward you. It’s like they both understood you were looking for Tiny.
You are so thoughtful and patient. I greatly admire your approach to rehabilitating horses who others may see as misfits or worthless. And Tiny kitty likes to play along. So funny as she was romping around under the trailer while you were peeking inside calling her!
Thank you for your gentle, firm, encouraging patience with your horses and.....with folks who tend to critique a bit much. Having had one to 6 horses at my house for 20 years, I do understand the volume of behind-the -scenes work involved. And, I've worked full-time with horses prior to those 20 years, and have ridden hunt seat equitation, did some dressage, some eventing, and, over time, extensive camping/trail riding with a magical little Arabian who was much like Ziggy, albeit not such a people horse. As noted in a previous comment, he and I were an item for a number of years. Enough about me. Thank you for your love of and commitment to horses (and cat and dog), and for maintaining such a TH-cam presence.
I enjoyed seeing each horse spending time with you - getting groomed and going through what moves and light challenges they can tolerate. They all have such beautiful faces - their trust in you is obvious and you have EARNED IT. Best Regards and Hope It Gets to Sticking To a Steady Lower Temp Soon - - I appreciate your concern about heating up and fungal growth in your herd - - challenging to manage through thaw spells. Best Regards and Stay Well.

I don't get it either. It's probably an unconscious form of envy. "If I had horses! I'd be riding them!!" kind of thing.

Oh, I'm so sorry! I've been where you are and it's awful! I hope I'm not overstepping, but if I can offer a bit of advice? Speak to your Dr about Diclofenac (if you haven't taken it already). It's an anti-inflammatory that is one of the only things that helped me. Also, oil of winter green applied topically was also surprisingly effective. I hope you find a solution and get relief! Hugs

The folks that don't think you put in enough time. Never owned their own farm. 90% of the work is fixing and cleaning. Then you get to handle them. Which is often vetting the scratches and cuts. Then you get to ride.

I absolutely love Tiny looking bewildered as you call for her to make sure she isn't in the trailer's tack room. She had the expression of "Hey! I'm right here, why are you calling for me???"
Yeah that was so sweet to her Tiny's meow "I'm here". And then, sure enough, later in the video Tiny did indeed jump in the trailer's tack room when CC wasn't looking...
Stewie is such a sweet natured gentle kind little soul, likes scratches and attention, curious about stuff, wants to learn, he's so lovely.
Not sure why anyone who actually watches the channel would get on your case about how you spend your time. It’s obvious that you are constantly on the go with the care and maintenance of both the property and the animals. Not to mention the dramatic weather Montana gets to add to the challenge. Plus, you do need to eat and sleep occasionally as well! 😊
Really, eating?!! And there I was sure CC was surviving on fresh Montana air 😂😂
Yeah. I’ve often wondered how you managed to fit the rest of your life in, given how much time and mental/emotional energy you give to your horses.
If I searched the whole world over I don't think I could find anyone more perfect than you to care for horses. You are amazing, kind and know exactly what you are doing. Thank you, you have created a must watch channel and deserve every success with it. 🙏🏼✨
Stewie is such a nice little horse! Can't wait to see him in the future on the trails and having a blast. He'll make a great partner on the trails.😊
Almost 9000 views in 3hrs of posting!!! Therapy for humans too !!!!!!!❤❤❤❤ Thank U for the beauty!😊
Yeah, I love seeing those mountain and yes, it is therapy for me too. When I see the love and care and intelligence you bring to your work, it's a wonderful teacher and healer for me.
@@nezlquasie I check frequently for new videos even though I have notifications on. On one of CCs videos she said that she had a goal of posting 3 videos a week. I was like, “what. Only 3? I need more!” 🤣 I do watch the older ones to get me through and I am getting somewhat better at telling the brown boys apart.
Almost 19,500 views at 7 hours old.😊
I shouted your channel out on another channel that adopted a 19 year old pony. The viewers thought that was "old" and I wanted people to see your "old" boys so they could appreciate the value of the elders. LOL I wish I could have seen their reaction especially to seeing Nigel in all his spunky glory! LOL I hope the Cog Hill Farm viewers are some of your new subscribers! Hugs
Ziggy at the end with his Arabian head shakes 😊
Looks like Ziggy has forgiven you for his two vet trips ❤
He has alot more sass lately. I think he is ready to get back to work!
Ziggy looks happy again ❤❤❤
Queen Tiny must supervise everything 😂❤
🥰🥰 she is quite a fastidious boss
Handsome Pete with his mix of dark brown colours.
Even a small black binliner can spook a horse when it moves unexpectedly. You are amazing to accustom your horses to such a big piece of tarp. You have so much patience and tolerance.
Your horses are so fortunate to have you take care of them. You are the horse angel.
Real living beings, no exploitation, my heart is happy
Pete is absolutely gorgeous. They are all beautiful of course but he’s special. Mare- Pearl is looking better but so glad she has you to not give up on her and get her back to her best self. Thank you CC for what you do and for sharing with us.
Pete is adorable
Pete❤❤❤
Maybe I'm just coming at this more from the pet owning side of things than the equestrian side, but I don't quite understand this idea that if your horses aren't being productive then you're doing something wrong 😅 They seem to have great lives! And watching them all grow in their own ways is lovely!
They(the horses) are helping to educate those of us who may love horses, but don't really know much about them. And CC can continue and expand her own education with each new horse she brings home.
@@LoveThoseTunes11 That's true! These horses are being productive in that way and it's really great. But I also think that if it were nearly any other animal, nobody would think it was weird if you wanted to use your money and resources and knowledge to just let that animal have a happy life without that animal having a job. Obviously lots of people don't have the resources to keep a horse that's not in work, but if you do and that's what you want to do, why not?
@turtledov_ Exactly. People don't expect a rescued cat or other pet to have a job. Why are they so fixated on demanding that CC ride the horses she owns, eventhough she obviously knows what she's doing and how to do it.
Sometimes being ' not scared' is very productive. Thank you for your care of these very special horses.
I think just getting her to move will help pearly poo. Curious to see what the vet comes up with also. And those stones are so crazy to see I hope the rest come out easy .
I'm so glad you are giving a realistic picture of the work and cost of horse ownership. And of the things that can and do go wrong sometimes and what it takes to fix them. You are right that there is so much that isn't glamorous in having a horse. Also, sometimes the people you learn the most from are not wearing the trendiest clothes, or using the newest gear, sometimes they're old cowboys who been around horses all their lives and learned from hard knocks, some of the people I learned most from were the older, mostly brown guys who cleaned the stalls at the houty touty stables, because when the stable owner and the horse owners weren't there, these guys were. They didn't know the educated terminology, but they knew horses, and often they knew people ,too. There's alot to be said for life experience. And I am not by any means knocking book learning or paid-for lessons, I learned from those as well, I'm saying don't discount the stuff that's not. If you're open to it, there are gems out there, they just might not look or sound like it. CC is definitely a real life experience and book learned gem!!!!
What a great comment thats how i learnt. Most people know how to ride but not many truly understand them and their needs. C.C puts the horse first and studies their individual needs. I respect all the great people i met who knew things that stayed with me and as nearly all said u never know it all u r always learning. Your comment struck a chord with me Nancy. Hug from london
@@suemaher5282 Thank you so much. I was afraid I didn't say it well, and that I'd anger people. So glad to know my experience was not unique. Hug right back at you, Sue!
@@Nancy-mi3xe U put it perfectly and honestly and I wish u and your family seasons greetings and a great New Year. There are plenty with our experiences I find them the ones to listen to. U have a talent with writing Nancy
A video on how you fit tack to horses would be very interesting
Tiny meandering about in the shots is just the cutest!!!
I love these training sessions, the way you understand the differences in your horses and then address their needs is really amazing. I have to admit my favorite part of the video was you standing in the door of your trailer calling for Tiny, and she's standing right below you, like Here I am for goodness sake!! Love all your animals on your Happy Acres Farm (that's my nickname for your place).
As always, so impressed with the patience you show with these horses. Also, glad to see the supervisor stopped by so many times today. It is always good for them to see you when are working hard. 😊
It might be time to ask Tiny for a raise…
Tiny is such a happy little kitty! She has the perfect life - a country cat with work to do, but also affectionate with her human.
I love Stewie. Being 5' tqll, 14H is perfect. I do think that Pete is one of your most beautiful horses. I loved using the indoor in the winter for teaching my mare new skills and improving the old ones. Thanks for the video.
I'm a petite shorty too (5'1) so I love shorter horses. When I trained, all of them were 16hh plus (hunter/jumper). Now that I'm older, I just want good trail horses that are safe for my kiddos and don't need a mounting block to get on 😂
Going to be a strange couple of weeks, weather wise. Pearl is a bit worrying, but, she has you, so whatever is best for her will be done. You are feeding, watering 14(?) horses, plus cleaning their living quarters, and keeping eyes and hands on all of them to make sure they are healthy, all on a daily basis. The fact that you have the time/energy to do much of anything beyond that is amazing. I would say caring for horses is rewarding; romantic, not so much, lol, but yeah, youtube.
13 horses.
OMG! Stewie is so cute! I absolutely love his progress and gentle personality. It is so interesting to know about each horse and their history and progress. Thank you for sharing your herd with us all!
Good for Stewie, overcoming his worries about that tarp! I love the care and patience you offer every one of your horses. I hope Pearl's wobblies are just because she's still recovering. Thanks for sharing your day with us.
Tiny is getting a workout with you hand walking Pearl! Loved her sprint, no mouse outruns that! The horses are all looking good. I wonder if all the foals Pearl has produced has done something with the ligaments in her back end? She does look a tad wobbly/weak, especially on the Rt. Hopefully the long term starvation won't leave any permanent damage to her. It still infuriates me how many horses are so poorly cared for in the world. Montana's uncared for horses are so very lucky when they find you! ❤
I live in an area where many neighbors have horses. When we drive around town, I now pay closer attention and think to myself: that horse needs work on his top line, and that one is looking a bit chunky, and for goodness sake it's 40° outside, take that blanket off before he grows fungus! Thanks CC.
The relationship and friendship is more important than just using a horse for pleasure. That's what's so nice about your videos, CC...we're all growing with your beauties.
Stewie is a doll. Nice spending time with them today and letting us get to know them better....thanks.
Was wondering, would Pearl benefit from some chiropractic or acupuncture treatments?
I see Management was keeping a very close on you. I Hope Tiny wrote you a good evaluation. Thanks for the video CC 😊
Had a laugh when you were looking for Tiny at the horsefloat. I had a kitten called feral Errol and I accidentally locked him in the tack room. He was very very happy to see me.
Pete has a secret - he has a little star hiding under his forelock. I noticed it on his previous video and again today; I've been with the channel for a year and only just spotted it. Stewie is such a pleasure to be around, lovey, curious and brave. Grow, Stewie! Grow! so you can be CC's next Frisco. We are learning so much about Pearl with each video and the upcoming vet visit promises more. What a gift that CC rescued Pearly Girl to provide ease and comfort in her old age.
I have never owned a horse and have only ridden one 10 to 15 times in my life. I never realized how much work went in to caring for a horse. And then spending time exercising and training, not just riding. It seems like riding your horse is the reward you get for all of that work
I just absolutely love Stewy's build..he is perfectly compact!
Yes I am one who has kept my horses home or rented a barn with acreage..my rides were shorter than my grooms most times and that was fine by me and my horse. They just liked me being around doing horse chores..they always had their eye on me just like your herd does with you...riding or no riding, your company most days is what they love❤
Yes, I like Stewie I've hardly every ridden a horse in my life, learned so much from CC. If I did want to learn to ride, I would pick Stewie.
Gosh, Pete is acting coy again. For awhile he was really warming up to you. I think he is a beautiful boy. Namaste'
I'm with you! I'd much rather be hanging out/training my horse's than riding. I enjoy their company so much more as I develop a deeper relationship with them. It's magical! I love how you are with them.
Tiny was so cute running to keep up with you and Pearl when you were walking her up the drive.
“Stewie” 🎶🎵🎶 It’s sweet how you sing their names when you call to them❤
Stewie is so brave and chill. A mighty steed🌟
I love how the other horses line up along the fence like a bunch of gossiping old men to watch what you're doing in the big arena 😅
Pete has my 💗
Yes, my love, I can see that she is very stiff in the back. I, personnaly, am sad that she was used as a brood mare....that is very taxing on a body. I am also excited about your channel. I love your videos.....I love listening to you discuss the horses and what is going on....Thanks for sharing your life with us. Namaste'
Stewie was a good boy today…I hope you’re able to find an indoor arena…Sweet Pearl has found a wonderful new owner…Thank you for sharing your horses with us! They’re all beautiful and know they are well cared for!
You've won me over to the utter charm of the little brown horse, even though I still adore a palomino, since that was my first love :) I admire your patience and dedication to horses that need time to heal, it's the main reason I enjoy your videos!
Stewy-he’s a real character
C.C., I love watching you school your horses. Stewie and Pete behaved well. It was good to Pearl walking about. I’m sure that she’ll be fine with a number of walks. See you soon😊
I really enjoyed seeing Gus work and thanks for letting us know about his head-shaking stress release response. 👍
I just love that a channel about horses has a cat as the self-appointed star ❤😂 She makes me howl ❤❤❤
You are an expert and excellent caregiver for these horses. Ignore the critics. I hope you keep all of them!
I'll take 'down home and hard working" any day!!! Much more realistic, and satisfying, to me. To each his own, I take in a few different channels , depending on what I feel like watching. But only a few that I watch everything! ❤
They’re all like “Uh-oh, you’re in trouble now Stewie! What’d you do?”😂🥰😂🥰😂
I always admire that you own horses as much for them as you, too many people want them as a toy to play with. I had a cousin who answered his girl's pleadings for horses with a yes, BUT... The but was that they learn about them from the hooves to the nose and about proper care from growing good fields to keeping up foot health and of course clean stalls, one of them is still a fine horse owner in her 70's and has the generational offspring of the first mare they got 60 years ago.
Pearls top line is looking so much better ❤ credit to all of a CC love, dedication and hard work ❤❤
CC … May I suggest you install cameras around the property! You can always move them with you when you get a new property. Easy to check remotely. Would capture anything you need to know.
LOVE the little Ziggy clip at the end! Such a beautiful, majestic horse. ❤❤❤
I always like Stewey, he is such an outgoing little guy .
Love that Arabian Ziggy. I would like to see you groom and train Primrose. We never see her for a whole channel time.
Stewie is one of my favourite horses for his bravery and kind heartedness. Also very nice to see Ziggy trotting around and Pete.
Bless you sweet Cowgirl! You are absolutely on your A game with everyone of your horseys and that are blessed because of you ❤🎉
Stewie! Always happy to respond to humans. What are his plans? I can't wait to find out.
I cannot imagine anyone criticizing you. I have a number of cats and I know how much work that entails - just the basic care...feeding, cleaning litter boxes, giving them affections and loving time. Having any sort of animal involves work.
Stewy is so cute and curious. Love him! ❤ And I am happy to see Ziggy much happier already ❤ Tiny was sure you and Pearl might get lost if she did not come after you. It is hard work to be a manager of all things. ❤
You obviously know what youre doing or your babies wouldn’t look so great!! ❤
I'm so excited everytime a new video pops up and I'm not even a horse person. I do love them though and appreciate the thoughtful and patient way you with with each horse individually. ❤
I had horse as a kid. I was planning on getting a couple when my husband and I retired. But watching your videos has reminded me how much work, care, and $ they require. Which I am not able to do.
you’re a beautiful ray of sunlight, and your horses are all the stars in the sky you belong together and we’re so meant to be 🐴💕
CC, I love the edits of Tiny walking down the driveway. Very artistic! Thank you for today’s video. Always a pleasure!
😂 Tiny looking up at you like "I'M RIGHT HERE!" was cracking me up. At least she comes when called. Poor Pearl. I hope she gets more stable as she recovers fully from malnutrition.
Every time I watch your videos I am so grateful that there are people like you. Your patience and understanding warms my heart.
Tiny adds so much entertainment to your day! I cracked up when you were looking for her in the trailer and she right there 😂 Looks like you are great entertainment for the other boys as well… as they observe you from over the fence!
Your Project Manager Tiny says, “well done.” Does Pearl have chronic arthritis?
I wish people would not give you a hard time. Maybe I would if I was a horse person, but I’ve only ridden a horse, probably five times in my life so it tells you what I know. I just enjoy watching you do what you do and I like your babies. Favorite? I might be falling in love with Pearl. I’m quite fond of Scarlet. And that real dark horse that is a little bit withdrawn who shares his space with three other boys as you call them. I am in the mental health field, so I also watch how you are with them and how they are with each other. This is not very polite, but I didn’t realize that they had such small brains because they have such big bodies. Keep up the great work and I’m so glad that you’re getting to be able to do this as much as you want because you have produced such good programs for us to watch. Have a good holiday and I look forward to seeing you in the new year.
What a great comment. The dark horse who is a little withdrawn is named Pete.

Look at Scarlet hopping in and out of a stall! Fantastic.
For a short time when I was a kid we had 3 horses. They were healthy and taken care of. Being a kid, I didn't know much about how to take care of them, but it sure seems like it is more work to take care of horses in your climate than it was in a year around warmer climate. It is interesting to learn from you, even though I don't have a horse now and won't at my age. I also love to see the horses with the scenery in the background. And, of course, Tiny and Huckleberry.
Seeing Tiny outside below the door of the trailer, and you looking and calling on her inside the trailer was pretty funny and made me chuckle. I appreciate that as I don’t chuckle too much anymore. Did you notice though, that when you called her, both she and Stewie started moving toward you. It’s like they both understood you were looking for Tiny.
You are so thoughtful and patient. I greatly admire your approach to rehabilitating horses who others may see as misfits or worthless. And Tiny kitty likes to play along. So funny as she was romping around under the trailer while you were peeking inside calling her!
Love seeing Ziggy toss his head. He is so much happier than when he first arrived ❤
Thank you for your gentle, firm, encouraging patience with your horses and.....with folks who tend to critique a bit much.
Having had one to 6 horses at my house for 20 years, I do understand the volume of behind-the -scenes work involved.
And, I've worked full-time with horses prior to those 20 years, and have ridden hunt seat equitation, did some dressage, some eventing, and, over time, extensive camping/trail riding with a magical little Arabian who was much like Ziggy, albeit not such a people horse. As noted in a previous comment, he and I were an item for a number of years.
Enough about me.
Thank you for your love of and commitment to horses (and cat and dog), and for maintaining such a TH-cam presence.
I enjoyed seeing each horse spending time with you - getting groomed and going through what moves and light challenges they can tolerate. They all have such beautiful faces - their trust in you is obvious and you have EARNED IT. Best Regards and Hope It Gets to Sticking To a Steady Lower Temp Soon - - I appreciate your concern about heating up and fungal growth in your herd - - challenging to manage through thaw spells. Best Regards and Stay Well.
Gus did so good!!! He really pushed his brain.
Ziggy and Scarlett, they are so good together, working it all out 😂💖💖
