Beautiful horse! I can say some people don't understand horses and there trainers and everyone has there own opinion but the owners are not trying to scare the horse but simply trying to let him figure out the course of jumping on his own. Training a horse does take time. You can see he is starting to understand things with a little encouragement! Great job!

Tara, I just want to give you some serious praise for making sure your boys have lots of active mental stimulation. Under saddle, for sure, but especially when they're free from any tack restraints and choose to interact with you. So often we see the heartbreak of horses living a tied down and repetitive existence. With Apollo and Farouk , over the time of your videos , we can see their characters , intelligence and personalities emerging and blooming . And their love and trust in you. It's as it should be.

I love the fact he is loose jumping! And when he stopped in front of his dad 🥰

How old was Apollo ? Look at him, he is so gentle and mature. Definitely a good looking boy.

Wow he’s stunning and was loving having a pop and for a fresian he was more than capable and was even over jumping, but then he was the perfect weight, muscular and was a great fitness level. It was so obvious that he was loving his job cos his ears were forward the whole time except when he was listening to you. He seems a very playful pony and it’s so good for them to play games in-between schooling, I think that must be why you have such a good bond xxx

The thing that people don’t understand is he’s this horse looked slightly confused at the start but the horse obviously has a special bond with everyone in the ring and knows it will be safe as she said in the description he hasn’t free jumped in around 2 years therefore will be a bit sticky but this horse is a very intelligent stallion and soon found his feet!

Apollo is such a good, clever boy. :D

When your last video said you were doing a "hunt" event on Apollo, it was obvious the term means something different now than it did in my day. Have you done any mounted jumping on Apollo? From what I could see in the video, he definitely has the strength in his hindquarters and the coordination to support a moderate bar height with a rider [he did not appear to be having any difficulty or experiencing strain at 1.05, and looked as if he could do the same with a rider's weight]. I admit that I used to love flying, and still always look at a horse Apollo's size and conformation with that in the back of my mind - not for a competition [competition jumpers are definitely a mental type apart from a pleasure riding mount, and mine literally did not enjoy just a regular ride], but the ability to clear a downed tree or low barricade, even just cavaletti, was just such a sense of freedom. P.S.: Did I hear the background noise right? You've been getting the same downpours we've been experiencing this spring?

@Tara101

5 жыл бұрын

yes you heard a downpour it was so heavy we had to wait in the indoor school till it abated. The hunt fun ride, is organised by a hunt for anyone to go on. Apollo has well developed hind quarters so taking the weight off his front legs to jump a metre is no problem to him, he of course is not bred for show jumping the tight turns into jumps would not be possible for him. 😊

@@Tara101 I can't remember ever seeing a Friesian in an arena event for that reason; but the strength that was bred into them to carry a human tank/knight in armor must give them some explosive power [that, along with what appears to be a very stable disposition, makes me really disappointed that they simply weren't an evident breed in the States 50 years ago, and I therefore never had the privilege of experiencing the breed's companionship and performance].
