I'm totally astonished at how good April was in traffic, and surprised the traffic doesn't slow for her. In England we expect traffic to slow to less than 20mph and give 6' clearance when they pass horses and cyclists.

I never would have thought to ride my horse to McDonald's what a great idea 🥰🤗🙏

You did not tell us a Dad joke ! Well done negotiating traffic with April

What a wonderful calm horse. Is she deaf? Man I'd be jumping as the cars go by. I'm guessing you were calm and sure so she was ok. You need a cup holder on your sadle. What a balanced walking horse and her canter is so smooth

April is a beautiful, well-mannered horse. I absolutely love animals and enjoy watching your videos.

April is an AMAZING horse, I think you or one of your daughters should show her! If she can handle drive thru McD's....she can handle ANYTHING!!

JR..You are so AMAZNG!!!. The knowledge and love you all have for your horses is inspiring!!!! God Bless you all!

It's nice to see that you can have some fun, even with all the work going on for the show. Thanks for posting.

What a beautiful, intelligent girl, and so amazingly calm and trusting. This made me smile so much. Super fun way to show off a lot of special things about the both of you all at once.

What a lovely horse. Watch Anna Breytenbach, an animal communicator from South Africa. Animals are telepathic, and we as humans have to once again teach ourselves to be telepathic because we have lost touch with that innate gift.

April is very beautiful and confident....She respects you and she respects herself......

I live about 50 miles from Norco, CA, which calls itself the "Horse Capital of the World." They have bridle trails throughout the town, buttons for the crosswalks set at rider height, and going through McDonald's on horseback is very common. Basically, the town is set up for horses and riders.

Her talking to them is too much, love it

I didn't know horses stretch too 😂😂😂😂lovely

Hey, thanks for checking our channel out.

Best horse I ever had was a mare. Craziest most insane horse I ever had was a gelding.

April is beautiful. I would be terrified to ride in basically city-type traffic, but she was so good and responsive to you, and you are a really good rider. By the way, that puppy is adorable.

I love this horse. When I was a kid, all I ever wanted was to ride a palamino :) what a sweetie.

Beautiful polo love love this breed bless you.

Wow, really impressive with that kind of fast traffic. Beautiful April.

Man those cars ! They couldn’t even slow down ! I’d be flipping them the bird !! Anyways, what a great and beautiful horse ! And great idea to have alittle ride and time to yourself in the morning!

When I was about 20 we took our horses thru the drive thru at mc donalds. They were very surprised and laughed. That was back when my town was more rural and people didnt get pissed about horses on the street. We rode everywhere in town. Your horse is so great! A really good mind.

Love to watch this first thing in the morning. A happy start to the day!❤

Be careful JR -the cars sort of scared me. Wow your as cool as a cucumber

The asphalt looks like it was fairly recently seal coated. That will make it slicker for a bit. Wherever part of an older parking lot looks like new, it has probably been recently seal coated.

April is a very pretty horse....

❤ April is a sweetheart. She's so smart and just lovely. Best of wishes for her and all of you.

Too bad you eventually sold her to a good family! I am sure she is missed. Thanks for the video of this Lovely Lady, April! 😊

I have always loved my mares, only ever came across one marish mare. She was plumb ornery don't think being a mare was the problem. I had this one mare who was a hot mare but sane, but put a 6 year old child in a lead line class in the ring and she would set her self up real pretty and tip toe around the ring and you would never have to worry. Latter sher was a great mama.

She said I cant breath when my head is low, lol

I did know bein in south Florida that asphalt can make horse shoes slip go slow be careful - but I'm extra glad you made sure to say about that - it could hurt the horse & the person if they didn't know - & even if they did I've felt a step or 2 slide a little & it was scary!! I wanted off that asphalt soon as possible - but I did NOT know or think to move feet back in stirrups so it's just your toes in there so you don't get hung up - my family all grew up on a farm grandmother sold it when I was a young girl - mom & aunt Betty both huge on riding I heard my moms foot got stuck & she got dragged a,bit that can be deadly luckily aunt Betty was also riding & got control of the 1 my mom was riding 🙏❤️= April is intuitive! I see what you mean she's a,smart girl ! I never seen anybody go threw a drive threw on a horse before & u couldn't even picked a finer horse to do it on April's a special girl ❤️🐴 = interesting little fact here and Davie Florida there's a McDonald's just blocks from my house it is the only one I've ever known of that had a Corral behind it this used to be a little Western Horse Town it was even in the magazine my Aunt Betty seen it and showed it to me that McDonald's has been closed down what a shame was my favorite McDonald's close by

Back in March 1988 I was privileged to be able to buy a beautiful Norwegian Fjord pony mare & have her bred before bringing here home. She came home in October 1988, well settled in her pregnancy. (It’s a 12 hour trip & I wanted her well settled in her pregnancy before that trip.) I got her for pleasure carriage driving and spent the winter of’88-89 getting miles on her & me. She turned 4 in May ‘89 & delivered a beautiful filly. Like your mare, she had lot of common sense, I would drive her along the road for miles & she was amazing. One drive included going through McDonald’s & when no asked for my order I drove up to the window & the response was rather funny! I’ve got so many happy memories with Brith & was blessed to have her for 25 years before she passed. Her 2nd & last foal is now 23 and just as sweet as her mom. The stories I could tell of the adventures I had with Brith could go on for a long time. Thank you for bringing back some happy memories!

@@fleetskipper1810 Thanks, but no one to share them with, my husband & I didn’t have kids & there’s no family interested. We enjoy the memories that Brith, her off spring (we have her last one, now 22) & a gelding. The first one passed at age 10 from an allergic reaction to her annual inoculations & the gelding had an injury in the pasture & after 3 yrs of trying to save him we had to let him rest in peace. He was 28 when he passed, we had him for 21 yrs. We will keep her last one as a pasture pet, I’m restricted medically on what I can do, so although I would love to harness her up & put some miles on her like I did her mom, it’s not happening. Thank you again for the response. Fleet Skipper are you Navy? My oldest brother is Navy(ret). If so, thank you for your service, very much appreciated.

Its probably an induction loop sensor under the pavement. I *constantly* get stuck at red lights on my bike because I'm too small/not enough metal to trip the sensor.

I used to apologize to Blaze when I startled at cars. He didn't shy. I flinched, and Blaze lunged because I told him to do it.

Delightful!! Very good horse!

Does walking on asphalt for long periods cause any discomfort to the hooves over time, I wonder. Remarkable syncronicity between man and beast, it seems. Love these videos.

Yes I believe it would. A lifetime of it would definitely be bad for them. I don’t know if you could tell but it was a slick surface for April to walk on! She was almost sliding on certain areas. Not all asphalt is that slick though and short periods are fine for a horse.
