@@SherpasDay We had a very scary moment a few years back while Dog sledding with our dogs. A big GSD came running at us out of a yard, and was off leash. We were on the multi use trail with 3 of our dogs attached to a sled, and this massive dog came at us. This was when Shelby was still around, and I just started yelling to her to Hike and Trail to try to get her moving. I had nothing. . . no mace . . nothing to stop this dog from coming at us. Thankfully, Shelby must have known what I was saying, because she listened so well. After what felt like forever, the dog finally turned around . We have never returned to that trail.
I can just imagine it, with Jamie doing his version of Steed, from, the Avengers. He just needs to add a bowler hat and he is there 😊. Glad they got away safely. 👍🐶💜
Nope The island of Madeira (off the coast of north west Africa)beats us by a mile ,they have huge percentage of rainfall per month, everybody has an umbrella and or rain clothes .
Anyone see the van with no front in the thumbnail and the title “we had a very lucky escape” and assume they’d been in a car accident? Nope? Just me then. 🙄🤣😂🤣
Awww, when Sherpa closed his eyes his eyelids were tightly closed. That must have been very traumatic for Sherpa cause he is so lovable. Take care big boy, I love you very much.
I'm 53. I've owned horses and been around them in one way or another all my life. Jamie don't go back. Horses do remember. They are protective and territorial. That one horse could have been the Alpha seeing you all as a threat to territory, mares. These horses could have had bad experiences with humans. Jamie you and Sherpa need to find a safer place.
@@SherpasDay you have to remember Jamie...it only takes 1time. You can't take that kind of chance with no real protection. I know these animals very well.
@@SherpasDay this time of year the stallions are starting to fight for supremacy as the mares are getting ready to breed so the old testosterone can have them a bit wound up, head somewhere else for a few weeks till they settle their positions with the herd before going back and it might be back to normal
I was thinking more less in the same vane as you. Who knows perhaps the stallion associated Jamie & Sherpa with those individuals who set up the fire and if that were the case, the stallion will protect the herd if it felt threatened. Since you've owned horses and the likelihood is that Jamie and Sherpa may encounter horses in other moors or fields, do you have any suggestions for Jamie in the future?
It’s possible that he was an alpha stallion and you were unfortunate enough to be there during breeding time, that can make normally calm stallions very aggressive. But I’m glad you’re both ok and relatively unharmed
You walked out of their territory. My horse has disliked 2 people. She would not let me anywhere near either one of them. She blocks me in the corral. My dog and horse never got along. Both overly protective of me. I had to put my dog down on Thursday. She was 18. Still have my horse. But my heart and house are empty. With Melody, I tell people to get off her paths if she runs and get out of her "house" territory. She was abused before I took her. When she used to come at me In the beginning I had to stand my ground and prove trust. Scared the crap out of me, but with her respect we couldn't be closer. Same with my puppy. Will miss her forever, a house without a dog is not a home. Friday was the first day since I built the house, I've been without a dog. I had all my blankets in the morning, it was strange. Sorry for rambling. Thank you for protecting Sherpa. Looking bigger works with bears,I guess it works with horses too. Always push a horse with your shoulder and be very careful of the hooves they are very sharp.
I'm glad you are both safe. Sherpa did the right thing in staying by you and not charging. And I don't think it was a "Daddy! Protect me!!!" kind of thing. Regarding Sarah... haven't you told her yet that the First National Bank of Dad has gone bust and is now in receivership? As for the picky birds, charge them room and board. But seriously, you might try filling the feeder with black sunflower seeds since they are on strike about the little seeds (millet perhaps?). I like your new curtains. Looks like they will keep out a lot of light when you and your four footed child need a nap during the day...like today after the horse debacle. My best to all of you. Steve
They not pregnant but females come into season march and the males will guard all territory even if no females there. Probably thought Sherpa was a Shetland pony haha but yeh Feb to April can be a bit hairy around intact horses. Many owners will geld horses many dont though specifically if a breeding stud farm
Was thinking the same, also, there might be some new foals in the herd, so the horses might be posturing to chase away the threat... crazed brit with a flappy pointy thing 😉 just teasing. But seriously, they can be quite protective, even willing to take on a "wolf" who was just saying "I luv woooooo" Airhorn is great advice, and just avoid the area for a couple of weeks, and you should be fine.
From one Jamie to another please give are poor lad a big hug from me I think I know its breeding season you desterbed a stallion you poor things thay can be very protective please give sherps the biggest hug from me Jamie
@@jamiedixon1314 Sherpa reminds me of a malamute-arctic wolf mix dog we had when I was a kid... sweet as pie, and just as talkative. Bit bigger though. I love wolves, and horses too, but they don't much like each other. Hope Sherpa didn't get to scared, and I'm really glad he didn't try to attack the horse. He was smart to stay away.
Horses are never nasty. Sherpa just had the misfortune of running into a horse away from its heard who's reaction makes me think that it may have had a bad experience with dogs at some point. Dogs and horses are quite similar in the fact that they don't tend to be aggressive but they can get quite defensive when they feel threatened. I know poor Sherpa but was scared to death, but that horse was scared to death of Sherpa too. I'm just grateful that nothing bad happened to any of them. I can't believe he shoulder check the horse! I am so impressed with that!
@@streghewitch77 I agree that the horse wasn't nasty but I don't think they meant it in that way. Remember we don't hear tone and inflection in typing but I think they were doing the baby talk thing like "don't be scared of that nasty wasty horsey" kind of thing. At least I hope so!
As several people stated, its getting closer to breeding season for the horses, dont go back there for awhile Jamie, if the stallions are establishing supremacy they are in fight mode 24/7, and a danger to anyone human or animal.
Try getting an air horn in a can. Those are definite deterrents towards horses. Unusual for them to do that to anyone. Something has scared them badly and think everyone is out to get them. Maybe a predator like a coyote, wild dog or something? Stay safe!!!
The main thing is you’re both fine. Feeling shaken is a horrible feeling but it goes away in time. I’ve never heard about horses attacking other than when they kick from behind. Maybe they’re being territorial because there’s foals on the way or something spooked them earlier on? Poor Sherpa, I think you should forget his diet today and spoil him!
Jamie, I’m REALLY proud of you for protecting Sherpa! Here in America, a lot of people expect their dogs to protect them, and I’m sure Sherpa would if a PERSON tried to hurt you, but Sherpa was smart to know he needed you to handle this one. Also, I’m getting teary-eyed thinking about what you did to protect Sherpa - out of pure love (and SERIOUS bravery!). I did a quick search on how to stop a horse attack, and the “answers” were unhelpful. I was thinking you could ask a vet, the RSPCA and the police. You are the man!
Hi from Germany. The birds you filmed indeed love sunflower seeds and peanuts. They throw out every seed that is to small. But at my feedingplace many birds will also pick the smaller seeds from the earth. Just give them time to find out. The curtains and pillows are looking good. I hope the van will be fixed in a short time. I'm glad you both could escape these horses. Stay well. Xoxoxo
Horses can be pretty scary. They're big and very muscular and if you're on the wrong side of them, it can be lethal. Good job on you both, I'm so glad you're safe. I'm so sorry you had to go through that. Good job, Dad, protecting your furson!
I didn't think it was possible for Sherps and Jamie to be even more bonded than they already were, but glad they are both safe from marauding ponies! 🐎
Air horn and a walking stick. Here in Canada we can use things called "Bear Bangers" to scare off animals. Makes a big bang and it generally works to scare off animals like bears, coyotes, wolves, etc.
But all the animals you ame are predators. A horse is a prey animal. I don't know if a horse in attac mode fearing for it's life will take of only by noise.
@@williamlanark3038 perhaps you know nothing about me. Perhaps you don't know all dogs. Jamie knows Sherpa and will do the right thing thing for him; I really didn't need to mention anything. My goal was simply to toss it out there because even the best of us don't always think of everything.
@@teddycuda Lol. This thread is about how to deal with an aggressive animal that's intent on doing you and yours harm. I offered Jamie very sound advice on how to deal with this type of situation. I don't think Jamie has ever encountered a situation like this before. The use of "Bear Bangers", Bear spray, and/or "cherry bombs" is a highly recommended bit of kit when you wander amongst the wilds. It can save your "life" should the need arise and it's wise to be aware and prepared. Take care of yourself!
I had a similar experience with cows we were walking in a field and a bunch of cows start galloping towards us. It was scary! We found out later that carrying a big stick is advised. You never really realise how big they are until you are being chased by them! Glad you’re ok 👍
The room looks bigger with the new curtains. A suggestion for the wall: leave it as is, just in case you get a beautiful piece of art with Sherpa on it.
I’ve just watched this video and know what also happened to Sherpa at a later date too. Holy cow. I’ve been chased by wild horses before and it was one of the scariest moments of my life. It sounds like you handled that situation really well. You sounded very brave and wonderfully protective in a crazy scary situation. Well done Jamie.
That's the tiredest, flattest, little puppydog in the world right now! Sooooooo tired. You did the right thing, and used the tools available to defend Sherpa, and you did it very well. Way to think on your feet.
I'm glad you're both ok! Horses are naturally afraid of wolves so perhaps it had a bad encounter with another dog or a wolf & decided to go on the offensive rather than the defensive. Being prepared is a good idea!
What about investing in a tiny air horn? The kind people like to prank others with. Carry with you and won’t hurt anyone but hopefully the noise will scare anything away. Poor Sherpa must have been so scared, couldn’t even defend himself or you Jamie. Thank goodness you had the umbrella and enough sense to use it.
Ohh no 😔 poor baby...I can’t imagine Sherpa being scared and it’s a sight I don’t wanna see! Glad you two are safe and your dad instinct took over...good job not recording it, your safety is more important 😌 please continue to be careful and follow your instincts.
Re- watching on October 29, 2024 6:59 pm, remembering Sherpa, and supporting Jamie. My goodness Jamie, you're like Steed with _his_ umbrella! The emblematic, heroic Englishman! It is wise to be wary of horses, they can badly injure or kill you! Rest In Peace sweet Sherpa- watch over Jamie until you two are reunited at the Rainbow Bridge. 🌈🌈🌈
Couple that with a whistle around his neck. It can also be used to let others human or animal know that someone is there even with a bit of wind it gets loud enough.
There was probably a mare in heat so he was rutting he saw Sherpa and you as an opponent, bulls do the same thing. Be careful mate have a good day cheers 🐶❤️🐶🐾
On that empty wall space - a big blown up photograph of Sherpa, Sarah, you, with the red van, choose a location that's green. Print the photo on canvas, it'll look great!
Jamie, you have done a beautiful job of giving your home a make over. That empty space would be a great spot for a family picture of you sherp and Sarah.
I started watching like 3 years ago..guess I missed this one💫thank God you both werent hurt🥹counting our blessings on that one✨the curtains look nice and that panoramic view was lovely✌️❤️🐺
Sherpa's day definitely makes my Weekend. Now all I can think about is you rugby tackling a horse. Guessing your calling batdog later Jamie? Glad your both ok 💙
I would ask the mechanic to put a tarp or something over the motor . When you first showed the motor I saw watter dripping into far right manifold hole where the stud broke off. If water keeps dripping into the hole it will rust the cylinder walls if it hasn't started already. It could cause your motor major problems like motor replacement. Just looking out for you and sherpa
Very good point you also would need to vacuum the water out. Outside chance but hopefully none of the rings were worn to allow water to get into the oil. The only time I've ever seen vehicles like that is in areas that get almost no rain or perfectly sunny calm days.
Poor sherpa... WOW!! I'm glad you and sherpa are ok. I'd carry a loud air horn. They're small but they'll scare the horses and any other animals. Good for you for being brave to charge the horse. Your nice and strong like bull. ❤🥰
I just watched this video and I was tearing up thinking of Sherpa sticking by your side. I'm glad, and he was too, that you did all you could to protect both of you. 💙 What a difference the curtains and cushions made for your living room. You have good taste. 💙 I love the scenery that you capture on your wanders. And, I thought you had an accident in the van. 😵💫 Glad it was only at the garage. Miss you, Sherpa. Take care, Jamie.🐕🐾🐾💙💙
A quick lesson in horse language: Ears pinned flat against the head means get out of the way ( left or right of the horse’s path) and call Batdog. Ears perked ears means something got their attention. One ear perked and the other to the side means they’re relaxed. So pay attention to the horse’s ears next time. You don’t have to carry anything special.
Do you feel this way? For me, the best smell in the world -- next to when my son was still a baby fresh out of a bath and in jammies clean out of the dryer -- is the smell of a horse. There is nothing else like it in the world. I love to stand in front of a horse and press my forehead against theirs -- it's like some kind of ancient communication.
If you can get it in England there's a spray repellant that uses a strong citronella scent to distract and deter animals. Not pepper spray. It's called PetSafe Spray Shield Animal Deterrent spray. I use it when dealing with aggressive animals on the job. Also stops other dogs from attacking. And always be talking loud to them and facing the horses when walking away. Slowly.
Oh my, the candle looks so dangerously close to the curtains! Please be careful, Jamie! So sorry about the horse attack, thank God the both of you are safe! Also, its nice seeing you taking your daughter out shopping. Something fresh on your channel, I love it!
Justin we've got a resurgence of coyotes in rural North Carolina. When I'm the last dump truck driver back to the shop some nights the coyotes start howling closeby, about 15 minutes after the hear engine off. I'm slow to do post trip inspection compared to other drivers. The sound is chilling !I hustle to my car .Eventually they do stalk people if pack populations get too large.
@@luashelton9320 I drove local for a major trucking company in Indianapolis years ago and I was the last truck in so the shop was closed, no one around and I had to pee! So I parked my tractor in front of two trailers that were parked to block the view from the street and I went and peed. Headed back to the truck, climbed up and right in front of my truck was a lone coyote looking up at me!!! Needless to say, I never did that again!! Lol! Ahhhh, the stories us drivers could tell!! Stay safe out there! 🚚
It's hard seeing Sherpa not howling back at you in his normal sassy way. Hopefully you both gets your spirits back to normal in the next few days. Glad everybody is physically safe.
Jamie~I'm so glad to hear that you & Sherpa are safe. I checked out horses attacking dogs online and discovered that a horse will see a dog as a wolf and will either go into flight or fight mode if it feels threatened or annoyed in any way. Thankfully you were able to protect Sherpa and yourself. So brave of you Jamie to put Sherpa's safety over your own. It sounds like you did the best you possibly could under those frightening circumstances. Stay safe boys. 🐾💕
Yes I thought the same as Sherpa does look wolfish. Jamie I'm just thinking the fire on the moors spooked them. Also can be breeding time which will make the stallions very amped up. Just take care on yours and Lord Sherpa's walks. House looks fantastic very cozy looking! Take care, Sherpa, Jamie, and of course sister Sarah!
While I agree this was my first impulse as well...on further thought, I doubt that GB horses are accustomed to seeing wolves (not sure when the last official sighting was either) any time recently. More likely something set off the horses territorial instinct. Perhaps a pregnant mare or perhaps he was newly come into the alpha role. Either way...glad You and Sherpa are well. Cheers.
@@lovindablues Note to self~do not assume that wolves inhabit every country. I appreciate the reality check. Apparently the last wolf sighting in GB was 1680.
OMG! Scary encounter! Sherpa knew you would never let anything happen to him. He knows your love for him as you know his for you. Thank God you're both safe. Love 💖 you Sherpa!
Oh my God! I can hear the fear in your voice! So sorry for your scare! Poor Sherpa! He looks so tired. When he looked at you I could see the worry in his eyes! You are a pair made in Heaven! So proud of him. I hope it doesn’t stop you from your walkies in the Moors again. Poor babies! Take care of yourselves and get some rest! Oh dear what happened to your beautiful van???!!! You’ve had a rough go of it you have! Sending you both lots of love and hugs!
Jamie thank goodnesss ur both ok. I can only imagine sherpa looking at u w fear. Poor boy. It’s amazing how our instincts kick in to protect our loved ones. He’s prob so exhausted from the adrenaline rush.
Man Sherpa got to watch out for them horses. Might of recognized Sherpa from the TH-cam and wanted a pawtograph. Got over excited. Then other horses around became a whole paparazzi crowd. Might need to start wearing shades. Glad you guys are okay and none was hurt.
So happy you have these video's as your memories. To hear your story, of you both protecting one another is so sweet. So proud of both yourself and Sherpa. You were very brave. Well done ❤❤❤❤

Horses can be pretty scary. They're big and very muscular and if you're on the wrong side of them, it can be lethal. Good job on you both, I'm so glad you're safe. I'm so sorry you had to go through that. Good job, Dad, protecting your furson!
I didn't think it was possible for Sherps and Jamie to be even more bonded than they already were, but glad they are both safe from marauding ponies! 🐎
Air horn and a walking stick. Here in Canada we can use things called "Bear Bangers" to scare off animals. Makes a big bang and it generally works to scare off animals like bears, coyotes, wolves, etc.
But all the animals you ame are predators. A horse is a prey animal. I don't know if a horse in attac mode fearing for it's life will take of only by noise.
Sherpa is also an animal.
@@teddycuda
It's a trust thing. Perhaps you've never owned a dog and been in a wilderness environment. I have!
@@williamlanark3038 perhaps you know nothing about me. Perhaps you don't know all dogs. Jamie knows Sherpa and will do the right thing thing for him; I really didn't need to mention anything. My goal was simply to toss it out there because even the best of us don't always think of everything.
@@teddycuda Lol. This thread is about how to deal with an aggressive animal that's intent on doing you and yours harm. I offered Jamie very sound advice on how to deal with this type of situation. I don't think Jamie has ever encountered a situation like this before. The use of "Bear Bangers", Bear spray, and/or "cherry bombs" is a highly recommended bit of kit when you wander amongst the wilds. It can save your "life" should the need arise and it's wise to be aware and prepared. Take care of yourself!
I'm glad you guys are alright! Give Sherpa a big hug from all of us for being brave and protecting his dad !
Sorry about scare. Comfort poor Sherpa.
I had a similar experience with cows we were walking in a field and a bunch of cows start galloping towards us. It was scary! We found out later that carrying a big stick is advised. You never really realise how big they are until you are being chased by them! Glad you’re ok 👍
He scared Sherpa?!!!!!
What a horse's ass!!
Glad you two are ok.
🇬🇧❤🇺🇸
The room looks bigger with the new curtains. A suggestion for the wall: leave it as is, just in case you get a beautiful piece of art with Sherpa on it.
Would be nice wouldn't it
@@SherpasDay Or a lovely bit of art with Sherpa and Key / Nook? Maybe they have a lovely picture?
@@SherpasDay I thought that is where you were going to put that metal picture of Sherpa that you got recently.
One Jodies creative projects
Don't forget a picture of HRH Queen Mouse!! I believe that should go up top, then all the doggos pics! 😹😹🐈
What a striking shade of indigo blue in the water!
I’ve just watched this video and know what also happened to Sherpa at a later date too. Holy cow. I’ve been chased by wild horses before and it was one of the scariest moments of my life. It sounds like you handled that situation really well. You sounded very brave and wonderfully protective in a crazy scary situation. Well done Jamie.
That's the tiredest, flattest, little puppydog in the world right now! Sooooooo tired. You did the right thing, and used the tools available to defend Sherpa, and you did it very well. Way to think on your feet.
Glad you're ok, most horses are so kind and care less. That horse was grumpy and had a bad day. Sherpa don't let the horse ruin your love of friends 🥰
We'll definitely be on edge for a while around them again
@@SherpasDay they will be able to sense you on edge so try and relax. They kind of act like big dogs, a loud telling off can work well
@@SherpasDay and rightly so ...
I'm glad you're both ok! Horses are naturally afraid of wolves so perhaps it had a bad encounter with another dog or a wolf & decided to go on the offensive rather than the defensive. Being prepared is a good idea!
Good to hear both of you are ok. Truly a special relationship between the two of you.
Held my breath as the curtain skimmed the candle. Don’t do that again!
Oh my, yes!!
I was about to write a similar comment
Jamie, candles and curtains are a bad combo.😕🔥🏠
What about investing in a tiny air horn? The kind people like to prank others with. Carry with you and won’t hurt anyone but hopefully the noise will scare anything away. Poor Sherpa must have been so scared, couldn’t even defend himself or you Jamie. Thank goodness you had the umbrella and enough sense to use it.
This is what I was thinking about too. An air horn and a walking cane.
Great minds think a like...I just suggested that before reading more comments.
Ohh no 😔 poor baby...I can’t imagine Sherpa being scared and it’s a sight I don’t wanna see! Glad you two are safe and your dad instinct took over...good job not recording it, your safety is more important 😌 please continue to be careful and follow your instincts.
JAMIE YOU COULD KEEP A WHISTLE & A PERSONAL ALARM ON YOUR KEY CHAIN. GLAD YOU & SHERPA ARE SAFE....LOVE YOU BOTH ♡♡♡
That is an absolutely insane encounter. Glad you guys are okay! Sherp looks defeated and exhausted. He deserves many biscuits and belly rubs!
Re- watching on October 29, 2024 6:59 pm, remembering Sherpa, and supporting Jamie. My goodness Jamie, you're like Steed with _his_ umbrella! The emblematic, heroic Englishman! It is wise to be wary of horses, they can badly injure or kill you! Rest In Peace sweet Sherpa- watch over Jamie until you two are reunited at the Rainbow Bridge. 🌈🌈🌈
Mini air horn. The viewed Sherpa as a predator and was protecting his herd. So glad you two are safe!!
yes sherpa is a predator. he stalks CHICKEN.
you are right on point with the air horn suggestion
Sherpa learnt that the world is not as friendly as he thought.
Poor serpa 😢😥
😥
Oh, no! Poor boy! Sherpa must have been confused and scared. Hope he's feeling much calmer now.
What you need is the kind of umbrella that shoots knockout gas from the tip, like James Bond or John Steed.
Poor Sherpa! He must of been really scared!😳
Get yourself a couple cans of “air horns” the sharp, screeching sound should scare them away!! Amazon has them!!
Could scare Sherpa too though, dogs hearing is much more sensitive than ours too.
Good idea.
Couple that with a whistle around his neck. It can also be used to let others human or animal know that someone is there even with a bit of wind it gets loud enough.
That is what I advised as well as some high lumens flashing devices.
No, you can traumatize animals with that. You do not need to hurt the horses.
As a side note, careful with how close that candle was to the curtain when you closed it 😅😅
I flinched when I saw that.
Yup, I thought the same thing when I saw that.
@@yatwobob Same
Exactly what I was thinking
I saw the candle just as I read the original post.
Please give Sherpa a hug for me. I’m glad you are both ok
Horses are very unpredictable, glad you both got away safely. Your new curtains look so much better.
Sherpa looks exhausted poor boy. X
I would bring that candle forward it’s a bit close to that curtain
I thought exactly the same
So glad you boys are OK!!!! I can't imagine how scary was. You're a good daddy.
There was probably a mare in heat so he was rutting he saw Sherpa and you as an opponent, bulls do the same thing. Be careful mate have a good day cheers 🐶❤️🐶🐾
AWWWW poor Sherpa. Daddy saved you.
On that empty wall space - a big blown up photograph of Sherpa, Sarah, you, with the red van, choose a location that's green. Print the photo on canvas, it'll look great!
Jamie, you have done a beautiful job of giving your home a make over. That empty space would be a great spot for a family picture of you sherp and Sarah.
Sherpa probably wants just Jamie and himself in the portrait. 😁
Poor Sherpa I’m so happy you guys are okay
😊
@@SherpasDay I’m so sorry horses can be quite mean even when they aren’t wild I’m just glad you and Sherpa are safe
I love how he opened his eyes for a moment when you said you gave him chicken
I started watching like 3 years ago..guess I missed this one💫thank God you both werent hurt🥹counting our blessings on that one✨the curtains look nice and that panoramic view was lovely✌️❤️🐺
Poor Sherpa give I’m a cuddle off everyone 👍👍👍👍
Sherpa's day definitely makes my Weekend. Now all I can think about is you rugby tackling a horse. Guessing your calling batdog later Jamie? Glad your both ok 💙
Haha it was scary but it picked on the wrong dog owner 🥷
@@SherpasDay you mentioned a fire extinguisher, something like an airhorn would be better as horses ears are very noise sensitive
Get you a riding crop
@@TerryBaker84 dogs ears are also sensitive ...
I would ask the mechanic to put a tarp or something over the motor . When you first showed the motor I saw watter dripping into far right manifold hole where the stud broke off. If water keeps dripping into the hole it will rust the cylinder walls if it hasn't started already. It could cause your motor major problems like motor replacement.
Just looking out for you and sherpa
Thanks Terry. I know they push it back in at night but I'll definitely get them to do that
Very good point you also would need to vacuum the water out. Outside chance but hopefully none of the rings were worn to allow water to get into the oil. The only time I've ever seen vehicles like that is in areas that get almost no rain or perfectly sunny calm days.
Terry, nice of you to notice that and offer your advice.
Sherpa: *sleeping.*
James: "...gave him fish..."
Sherpa: *Wakes up!*
I noticed that too 😂 Smart boy.
@@ravenlunatic1177 when
Poor sherpa... WOW!! I'm glad you and sherpa are ok. I'd carry a loud air horn. They're small but they'll scare the horses and any other animals. Good for you for being brave to charge the horse. Your nice and strong like bull. ❤🥰
I just watched this video and I was tearing up thinking of Sherpa sticking by your side. I'm glad, and he was too, that you did all you could to protect both of you. 💙 What a difference the curtains and cushions made for your living room. You have good taste. 💙 I love the scenery that you capture on your wanders. And, I thought you had an accident in the van. 😵💫 Glad it was only at the garage. Miss you, Sherpa. Take care, Jamie.🐕🐾🐾💙💙
A quick lesson in horse language:
Ears pinned flat against the head means get out of the way ( left or right of the horse’s path) and call Batdog.
Ears perked ears means something got their attention.
One ear perked and the other to the side means they’re relaxed.
So pay attention to the horse’s ears next time. You don’t have to carry anything special.
Do you feel this way? For me, the best smell in the world -- next to when my son was still a baby fresh out of a bath and in jammies clean out of the dryer -- is the smell of a horse. There is nothing else like it in the world. I love to stand in front of a horse and press my forehead against theirs -- it's like some kind of ancient communication.
If you can get it in England there's a spray repellant that uses a strong citronella scent to distract and deter animals. Not pepper spray. It's called PetSafe Spray Shield Animal Deterrent spray. I use it when dealing with aggressive animals on the job. Also stops other dogs from attacking.
And always be talking loud to them and facing the horses when walking away. Slowly.
You can’t go around spraying animals with crap
This guy loves Sherpa so much, man shoulder barged a freaking house fam. Love that
Sherpa staying by your side ............Sherpa was protecting YOU
How blooming cute and fun is Sister Sarah! “I’ll pay you back, £2 a month.”
Oh my God!!!! Thank you Jamie for protecting our Lord Sherp and staying safe yourself. God bless you. Stay safe🙏
Oh my, the candle looks so dangerously close to the curtains! Please be careful, Jamie! So sorry about the horse attack, thank God the both of you are safe! Also, its nice seeing you taking your daughter out shopping. Something fresh on your channel, I love it!
B I thought exactly the same thing!!!! About the candle!!!
It's a "coyote" thing here in the states. The horse sees Sherp as a preditor.
Justin we've got a resurgence of coyotes in rural North Carolina. When I'm the last dump truck driver back to the shop some nights the coyotes start howling closeby, about 15 minutes after the hear engine off. I'm slow to do post trip inspection compared to other drivers. The sound is chilling !I hustle to my car .Eventually they do stalk people if pack populations get too large.
@@luashelton9320 oh dude, that sounds scary! Perhaps you should get something to protect yourself with. Like an airhorn. Take care!
@@luashelton9320 I drove local for a major trucking company in Indianapolis years ago and I was the last truck in so the shop was closed, no one around and I had to pee! So I parked my tractor in front of two trailers that were parked to block the view from the street and I went and peed. Headed back to the truck, climbed up and right in front of my truck was a lone coyote looking up at me!!! Needless to say, I never did that again!! Lol! Ahhhh, the stories us drivers could tell!! Stay safe out there! 🚚
@@barbkeen1221 OMG please, Everyone stay safe out there !!
Poor Sherpa. Poor Sherpa's owner. Your heart must have been racing.
That was a good thing you did protecting Sherpa and yourself flapping that umbrella was brilliant. God bless you 🙏🙏🌹🌹
It's hard seeing Sherpa not howling back at you in his normal sassy way. Hopefully you both gets your spirits back to normal in the next few days. Glad everybody is physically safe.
So sorry this happened how horrible! May Sherpa just sleep!
He deserves this!
Jamie~I'm so glad to hear that you & Sherpa are safe. I checked out horses attacking dogs online and discovered that a horse will see a dog as a wolf and will either go into flight or fight mode if it feels threatened or annoyed in any way. Thankfully you were able to protect Sherpa and yourself. So brave of you Jamie to put Sherpa's safety over your own. It sounds like you did the best you possibly could under those frightening circumstances. Stay safe boys. 🐾💕
Yes I thought the same as Sherpa does look wolfish. Jamie I'm just thinking the fire on the moors spooked them. Also can be breeding time which will make the stallions very amped up. Just take care on yours and Lord Sherpa's walks. House looks fantastic very cozy looking! Take care, Sherpa, Jamie, and of course sister Sarah!
What about a whip that you can crack at a distance from the horse?
While I agree this was my first impulse as well...on further thought, I doubt that GB horses are accustomed to seeing wolves (not sure when the last official sighting was either) any time recently. More likely something set off the horses territorial instinct. Perhaps a pregnant mare or perhaps he was newly come into the alpha role. Either way...glad You and Sherpa are well. Cheers.
@@lovindablues Note to self~do not assume that wolves inhabit every country. I appreciate the reality check. Apparently the last wolf sighting in GB was 1680.
Just watched your report of the horses chasing you and Sherpa. Wow, how very scary! So thankful you are okay.
OMG! Scary encounter! Sherpa knew you would never let anything happen to him. He knows your love for him as you know his for you. Thank God you're both safe. Love 💖 you Sherpa!
Oh Jamie, glad you and Sherpa are okay. God Bless. What a great Dad you are. 🥰🥰🐾🐾😊😊😊🙏🙏
A horse?? Poor sweet Sherp....you should have sent the Batdog signal!! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
So sorry! You did what you had to do to protect your boy. Sherpa needs a HUGE hug & so do you. Sigh of relief that you're both alright.🙄🐾💚
They both need a tall, stiff drink after that.
Oh my God! I can hear the fear in your voice! So sorry for your scare! Poor Sherpa! He looks so tired. When he looked at you I could see the worry in his eyes! You are a pair made in Heaven! So proud of him. I hope it doesn’t stop you from your walkies in the Moors again. Poor babies! Take care of yourselves and get some rest! Oh dear what happened to your beautiful van???!!! You’ve had a rough go of it you have! Sending you both lots of love and hugs!
God was definitely watching out for y'all God bless y'all and thanks for u and sherpa for bringing many smiles around the world.
Jamie thank goodnesss ur both ok. I can only imagine sherpa looking at u w fear. Poor boy. It’s amazing how our instincts kick in to protect our loved ones. He’s prob so exhausted from the adrenaline rush.
We were very proud of ourselves after it all ended.. 😊💙🥷
Then the post-adrenaline crash sets in.......
Awe poor Sherpa and you. Glad you’re ok. Horses are large. Never heard of a horse doing this. I’m sure they do. I just never heard of it.
Man Sherpa got to watch out for them horses. Might of recognized Sherpa from the TH-cam and wanted a pawtograph. Got over excited. Then other horses around became a whole paparazzi crowd. Might need to start wearing shades. Glad you guys are okay and none was hurt.
pawtograph funniest comment!!!
Lol
You sure it wasn't the pawparazzi?? 📸📸😹😹
So grateful it turned out alright, cuddles for Sherpa!
So happy you have these video's as your memories. To hear your story, of you both protecting one another is so sweet. So proud of both yourself and Sherpa. You were very brave. Well done ❤❤❤❤
