@FriesianHorses
Dear All, (I posted this on Friday, April 5, 2024)
I (Yvonne) have bad news.
On Thursday, April 4, 2024, at 2:00 PM, Queen👑Uniek became ill, she was visibly in pain. The vet came urgently and gave her painkillers. Unfortunately, this did not get better after an hour. Mathilde and I took Queen Uniek to the horse clinic in Wolvega where she was examined further.
It didn't seem like she had much trouble there. She pretended nothing was wrong. That is typical for a Friesian horse. But an ultrasound was made of her belly. It showed that her stomach was much too big.
She was admitted and would have to stay there at least one night.
But in the evening her condition became worse and worse. The vet called me and indicated that she was really in a lot of pain. The stomach wall was probably torn. A stomach rupture / Gastric rupture. Something that unfortunately occurs more often in Friesian Horses and that is because there is higher inbreeding.
I was advised to put her to sleep to prevent her from suffering further. I couldn't agree more. I don't want a horse to be in so much pain. So they put her to sleep around 10 p.m.
This morning I went to Queen Uniek together with Gea and Rinske to say goodbye to her. I had her picked up by a company that cremates horses. In the Netherlands it is forbidden to bury a horse.
Queen Uniek will be cremated tomorrow. I can pick up her ashes later.
As I type this, we are less than 24 hours later, but I would like to share it with you first.
I will make a video later. I still need some time for this.
Furthermore, other videos are still planned. And I also want to show the Queen as much as possible. Like I always do...
But I, Bauke, Rein & Teije will miss her so much!!! And certainly also Boss Rein, the Stal H and Stal G people and the KZread herd!!
Because Queen Uniek meant a lot to everyone!! She was special and she still is!
Thank you for everything Queen Uniek! I'm so happy that Belle is here... And I'm glad Queen Uniek was able to see her own foal with Coralle!
We will never forget you Queen👑Uniek!!!
Love Yvonne❤️
Welcome to my Friesian Horses channel.
My name is Yvonne. I create and post videos about my daily life with Friesian Horses. I will show you the true Friesian Horse and what they are like: day to day care, training, riding dressage and the very special birthing of foals. I explain the facts about breeding Friesian Horses and the steps I take to help better the breed.
You will learn that Friesian Horses have a naturally high gait, whether or not they can jump, if they are good for beginners and what they eat.
You will see them running, trotting, playing and even fighting.
I show you every aspect of my life with horses; the beautiful and the not so pretty. What you see in my videos is real!
Did you know that the Friesian Horse originates from Holland, specifically Friesland? That is where I live! I hope Friesian Horses will be love at first sight for you.

It pained me to see Risey nickering/soft whinny to Uniek at the beginning and furthermore, she was looking intently at him. These two brought me to this channel, I stayed because of how well the horses were treated by Yvonne, Rein and Crew. Uniek was such a good mother, good leader, good friend, good sister and good horse in general. Her stoicism mirrors Yvonne, they are without a doubt soulmates to me. R.I.P Queen.

Yvonne, I’m a former USAF officer. I don’t cry easily. But, I cannot stop crying seeing this video. I fell in love with horses by watching Queen Uniek accept Risey as her baby. She was a special horse, and not only your friend, but family. I will continue to pray for you until the pain eases up. I believe she is watching over you, and will greet you when you go to Heaven ❤❤❤

I started watching when Risey was adopted by Queen 👑Uniek. I fell in love with her because of her willingness to take a baby to her udder and her heart as if it were her own. I am in tears now because she is gone. But never forgotten. She is in heaven. Corralle is Belle's surrogate mother, in my heart never the true mother. But I thank her for having Uniek's baby. I want to hug you, Yvonne. I want to cry with you. I wish I could send money, but, I am an old woman, alone. I send you love and prayers that things will turn around and be good in the future.

Uniek was a wonderful horse. Don’t look on it as bad luck , think about how lucky you were to have her in your life, how lucky she played a part in fur filling your dreams of a horse stable. Lucky that she played a part in helping you recover from your accident. Lucky that she brought Risey into your life. Lucky that she found you and you gave her a wonderful life and made friends all over the world. RIP Uniek we all loved you. Gone too soon but never forgotten 😢

I think what you are saying is true. But it is hard to look at it that way when you are still grieving another loss. But Yvonne is strong and one day she will be able to smile when she thinks of Uniek instead of tearing up. Those are the stages we go through when we lose someone dear to us. I smile more now when I think of my parents, for instance, but sometimes I still cry. That is the way it is. Belle is such a blessing, as is Risey even with his issues. Circle of life.

It’s important that Yvonne expresses her true thoughts and feelings in response to her grief. And it’s important for us to listen to her as she moves from grief to remembrance and healing. No one should tell her how to feel, or how to look at things in the direct aftermath. She needed to speak her truth. Yvonne is such a resilient person. She’s shown that for years, especially after her accident.

Oh, Yvonne, imagine how horrible it would have been if Uniek had given birth to Belle and then this happened!!!

Belle came just in time. The spirit of Uniek is running through her. God bless you Yvonne, sorrow is but a season. Uniek was there when Risey lost his birth mom, now Belle will be there to bring you joy after a loss too.❤
I came to this site when she was a surrogate to risey. Are hearts are broken. What a special animal.
I'm sorry for your loss. I too joined your channel because of Queen Uniek's kindness towards Rising Star. It's sad she passed and her daughter is an orphan now. I'm glad Corralle has taken her under her care like Queen Uniek did for Rising Star. R.I.P. Queen Uniek.
The image of Uniek's empty stall was haunting. Risey stood turned looking away, Coralle never left Belle's side and Reintje and Saly appeared so subdued. In their own way they know it is different now. Even when in pain, Uniek was such a majestic beauty! She made an impact on so many of us around the world. She will not be forgotten by this virtual herd, or by those who saw her accept Risey as her own. Yvonne, yes please post all of the videos you have. We will continue to watch - enjoying the antics at the Stals, to cheer for Risey and to watch Belle grow. Uniek brought us here, after all. Rest easy now, Queen Uniek. Rest easy.

You don’t have bad luck, you are blessed. You have a loyal husband & healthy children. You have viewers who helped you buy Uniek for yourself & cover all her needs. When Uniek lost her foal, there was a miracle foal that she loved as her own. You had an accident & fell into a coma but you woke up! You recovered more than anyone expected. You run your own stables & people care deeply about your life. Though Rising Star has a concerning diagnosis, he is beautiful & strong now. Uniek’s foal transfer worked perfectly & you received a beautiful princess before the Queen left. There are so many blessings for you! I am so sorry for your loss. 💔 I hope you can take some comfort from the 2 beautiful babies she left in your care. One boy, the child of her heart & one girl, the child of her blood. I know Uniek was loved & cared for from the day you met to the day she left. I hope this is the last heartbreak for you for years to come 🫂

Uniek fan Goengamieden, 2006-2024 Darling Uniek, I live on another continent and don’t understand how I have so much love for a horse I have never met and, sadly, will never meet. I first saw you when you were struggling to give birth to Star. You were desperately trying to lick life into him, but it was not to be. It was a dark time, but in the morning the sun came out with the arrival of a skinny little foal whose mother had died. I’ll never forget your joyous whinny and the happy dance you did when you first saw Rising Star. It was truly love at first sight for you and for me, too. That was the day I fell in love with you and Friesian horses. I watched as you tenderly raised Rising Star and saw him grow up to be the magnificent horse he is today. Over the years you charmed me with your sassiness, your imperiousness, your love of food (especially pellets, apples and carrots), and your stunning beauty. The tender greeting you gave Greg Hammer when he visited, and your enduring love for Yvonne were impressive. You took me riding through the woods and along the beach. We splashed in pools, trotted alongside canals, and relaxed in the meadow. It was a magnificent reign which came to an unexpected and tragic end. Tears are still flowing, but time and Belle will ease the loss we all feel. Rest in peace beloved Queen. You have gone, but your memory will live in our hearts forever.👑❤️🇨🇦❤️

As another person wrote, it was Queen and Rising Star who caught my heart and interest on your so beautiful Videos. Now I share your sadness at the loss on your treasured Queen . Don’t think of it as bad luck ! You have been so blessed in all you do! We all have those ups and downs. Birth and death is all part of the picture of life.
I just learned of your beautiful Uniek - I was awestruck by her spirit and beauty when she adopted Rising Star.
Uniek had the best life a horse could ask for. She had the best herd and human family. She finally got to be a mother to Risey and she got to see her lovely daughter Belle before passing. She will be there to guide you, Yvonne and Risey in spirit.
I’m so glad you took the time to do so much with Uniek: dressage with her, buying her with the help of your online herd, her adoption of Risey, the surrogacy with Coralle, the beautiful photoshoots with her - she was so special.

Rest in Peace Queen Uniek xx so grateful to have known you thanks to Yvonne, I believe you bring us all together as a family to be here to pray together for Yvonne after her fall and for Risey, to show us miracles do happen when we are united in love xx love and light to all xx
I am so very sorry for your loss! I've been watching your channel since 2019. I love your horses and you and your family. I cannot tell you how sad I am to hear of Uniek. She is now free to run and roam for all eternity. Love and prayers to you!!
I stared watching when she lost her baby and excepted Risey. I have watched since. It is a sad day but know she was loved by many and will be remembered. She is out of pain now. RIP Queen Uniek run free.

That's beautiful, I recall of an episode I watched, and recently rewatched, where it was an urgent case, the pregnancy went fine, the placenta looked fine. But the next morning they found she had passed. And her foal needed a foster momma for feeding. They had found a horse who had just lost her foal. They put the mare's urine and fecies on the foal to make her smell familiar. To have less of a chance to reject the foal. And thankfully she accepted it eating off her. And a few weeks later they were inseparable. It's like fate for sure. Like Queen would have been for that foal. So beautiful. I'm sure she was an incredible horse ❣️

That video was AWESOME, wasn't it? Its a rare gem! 💎 I have NEVER seen a foster mare SO excited to see a foal! I worked with Miniature horses, Egyptian Arabians, and Thoroughbreds. I was asked to look for any visible illness or injuries, any odd behavior, or illness, and document the breeding cycles of the mares, among other things. I went to college for veterinarian technology (vet tech,) NOT a vet. I've always loved horses, and I have a lot of equine knowledge. I've been at quite a few foalings. I've watched a lot of YT videos too! 😂 You might want to change the spelling to "accepted" instead of "excepted." The voice to text does that to me a lot. I have to remember to Uber enunciate. You see what I mean? Over turned into Uber! LOL! 😂 You might get many more likes; as you should for that lovely comment! I feel the same way. 😭
My heart is broken too. Be strong Yvonne and try to bring all your love for Uniek and pour it into Belle. It is such a blessing you have her and Risey. I pray for protection for them and you and your family. Much love to all of you. ❤

Thank you for those words.
My most heartfelt condolences on the loss of your Queen Uniek. I know the pain and loss of one who has meant so much to you in your life.
Belle looks like her mama, Queen Uniek. I know she will be looking down from heaven and watch Belle and Risey, they will make her proud❤
Sending love to you Queen Uniek over the 🌈 bridge and especially to you Yvonne. Thank you for being God's choice for Uniek's human mother. You filled Uniek's days with ultimate love. You know what? I see Uniek in Belle. Belle has Uniek's big beautiful eyes. I always could identify Uniek by her beautiful eyes! I think Belle is our next Queen when she becomes an adult. Risey will also always be Uniek's little Prince for however long he lives on earth. He really has a great determination, which he must have learned from Uniek. He really was her little boy even if not biological and after he was weaned, he seems to continue that Uniek royal essence. I will enjoy seeing Risey and Belle continue their beautiful lives! ❤❤❤

I'm still so saddened and it's difficult to believe Queen 👑 Uniek is gone. I'm so sorry for Yvonne, family, and everyone at the stables. I think about how her life happened...she supported Yvonne while she recovered, she came to live with Yvonne, she allowed Coralle to be the boss and eventually became her friend, and Uniek lived long enough to meet Her Little Queen Belle. What a beautiful life. I too started watching when the Queen did a happy dance when she adopted Risey. There will not be another like her. She really loved Yvonne - such a wonderful bond. She is greatly missed. 😢❤🌹
Its so sad to hear about Queen Unieks passing. It was the last act of kindness to a wonderful and very special horse. Unike lives on in Belle. So her legasy will always be there.
When our dogs reach the end of their lives we say they have gone over the rainbow bridge. Gone but never forgotten. There are thousands of people like me who will never forget Uniek. I joined your site when Uniek became Risey’s mother. You don’t have bad luck because you have been given the care of two glorious horses and we have known them because of you. And now you have her foal and we will watch her grow and share your joy in her.
👑Treasure your good fortune in so much time with her, though it's never enough... This is with deep thanks for the love & joy you and Queen Uniek have brought, to so many in the Herd, and beyond into the future! Coralle and Belle will carry on her legacy, with Risey watching all at Stal H. Special condolences to your family and dear friends, including Rein and Stal H. Her watch here is over, but the sky opening tells you she is still top mare overseeing all! 💞 We love you dearest Uniek, always! ❤️🐴🙏🐎🕊️🌈 And very grateful for your candor here, it helps with our collective grief, and celebration of her beautiful life.🌹

So sorry for your deep loss 💔. I'm glad you had that special moment with her as the sun burst through.
I was introduced to this channel with the video when Uniek adopted Rising Star as her own. It's really sad to see her go. I'm genuinely getting teary eyed.. I'm sorry for your loss... 💔
Losing Uniek - 😢. But, Yvonne, your “bad luck” has also resulted in good things. You lost Star, but gained Risey. You fell and yet you survived to live and love your close family as well as your world-wide family. You were wise to create Uniek’s Belle via Coralle to carry on Uniek’s uniqueness. The glimpse of Belle that we’ve seen shows she has her mem’s conformation. She looks special already! All this and more, due to your wisdom and strength. An American saying: “If life gives you lemons, make lemonade.” Keep making lemonade, Yvonne!! ❤
My condolences, dear Yvonne. Dear Uniek, you are now reunited in horse heaven with your lost foals Star and Twinkle Star. You now watch over Stal H, Stal G and the Friesian horse herd from horse heaven. Uniek you will be remembered as a beautiful Friesian horse, as a loving mother, as the loving foster mother of Rising Star and as the leader / queen of the Friesian horse herd. You will live on in our memories, in our hearts and in Yvonne's videos. Rest in Peace Queen 👑Uniek

Omg how sad....but you gave her alot of good years and she raised beautiful babies especially rising star
I think Uniek will be watching over you, Risey, and Belle now. She left a hole in all our hearts, but time heals all wounds. Belle will never replace her mother. No horse ever could. But Belle will carry Uniek's legacy of beauty and grace forward now. RIP Queen Uniek.

I'm so sorry, Yvonne. I will never forget Uniek's reaction when she first laid eyes on Risey, how she called for him, claimed him. No one can watch that and say that animals don't have souls. RIP, beautiful Queen. ❤
Grief is the price we pay for love, and you loved Uniek so very much Yvonne. She was a beautiful horse in temperament as well as physically. She will be greatly missed and I’m thankful you have Risey and Bella to remember her by. 😢
Yvonne, it breaks my heart to learn that Queen Uniek is no longer with us. It was a beautiful video, albeit very sad. It is comforting that Belle is here to carry on her legacy. Blessings and hugs to you big kisses for Belle and Riley. The stable was so quiet so you know that they all knew that something was wrong and that their Queen was gone. Extremely touching. Prayers
What a beautiful tribute to Queen Uniek. She lived a beautiful life with people who loved her very much, and she was a good mother to her baby, Risey. I'm so happy she got to meet her new daughter, Belle, before she passed. I'm so sorry for your loss; no words can make it better. You took very good care of her and she was loved.

Dear Yvonne, I am so sorry for your loss. Don't feel bad or weak for crying about Uniek. She was your heart horse, a true Queen and ambassador for the Friesian Horse breed. She brought joy and awe to you and thousands of people over the years! You did everything you could to make every minute of her life as great as possible for her. All of these words are not able to help in grieve, nevertheless she will live on in our memories, in the videos you made, in her foals, in Belle and Risey.
You cry all you want, l am crying with you. Uniek was an excellent foster mother to Rising Star sometime back if my memory is correct. The mementos you had on the table, like her hoofprint, are irreplaceable treasures. Like your memories. Belle IS gorgeous, but she will make her own place in your heart. One cannot replace another, each leaves a unique and lasting place in your heart. I am SO sorry for your heart💔breaking loss. There are no words for this sadness. Thank ♥️ You for the good life you gave her, and all your beautiful babies. Goodbye Uniek. You will be missed and remembered, for always. Rest In Peace, Queen Uniek. 🌹😔🌹.🕊 🐾🌈☮️🇨🇦
I'm so sorry. She was beautiful.❤
She & Risey are why I’m here & found this channel. She will forever be my favorite Fresian!! Run wild my Love… enjoy Heaven!
I was brought to your channel because of uniek and rising star You will always have uniek in your heart.
My heart is breaking for you. Queen Uniek and Rising Star brought me to your channel, Yvonne, and I'll never forget how beautiful she was and how majestic. Loss is never easy; it is like a piece of your heart is torn off, but it is this piece that went with her over the Rainbow Bridge. Mahalo for sharing Queen Uniek with the World; she has brought joy, beauty, majesty, and resilience to all of us. Aloha Oe, Queen Uniek.
i found this channel when i found the Queen and was captivated by her beauty and her sweet heart--i followed for a while with the ups and downs, the challenges and then when i got too sad, i stopped following for a few months-i was so worried about Risey, i did not want to be following if he got worse - but - a few days ago, out of nowhere, Queen Uniek came into my mind and i did not have a good feeling - but i had to check on her only to find the saddest news - Yvonne, i am so sorry about losing her - i think it's heartbreaking and i have tears writing this while my husband is wondering what is wrong with me, tearing up in front of my laptop - i will always remember the joy of Uniek when she first saw Rising Star-she gave him life - i cant say anymore because i just dont have the words - loss is part of life but knowing that makes it no less devastating - Uniek was made special by God so i do believe she is with Him, i really do--take care Yvonne
Rising Star knew. Diewke knew. Beautiful Queen knew. Before she left Stal H, they all knew it was goodbye. It's written in their faces. Ah our most beloved animal companions, how much more wise than we, they are. Yvonne, I have nothing to say other than that, you did everything you could, and I send you all the love I am capable of. May God richly bless you in Belle Alexia, this most beautiful reminder of the Queen. I am so sorry. But I am so glad to have known Uniek.
I am a follower, but rarely a poster. Today I want to express my condolences to everyone who followed this amazing story. Yvonne, I am so sorry for your loss. Belle is not Uniek, but it is a comfort for her and Risey to be here for you. I admire your ability to get up, and stand strong after adverse events. RIP Queen Uniek, long live the Princess Belle💔😢
I finally watched. So very sad. You are so cherish Queen Uneik. So glad she got to see her filly. Uneik was so accepting raising Risey now Corollla is raising hers. She will be missed by so many. Sorry for your loss Yvonne
Always the Queen of the Stable Yard. The Video of Uniek losing Star then accepting Rising Star was the first of your videos I viewed. Many now miss The Queen. Condolences all around. May Belle do her mother proud.
Dear Yvonne, thank you so much for letting us meet the beautiful, Queen Uniek! We shall always keep her in our memories! Now, Queen Uniek is up in heaven with her babies running together. I am sure she will watch over you as well, so don't be too sad, it's not a forever goodbye, it's more of a see you later! 🌅💖🕊️ I also want to add that Queen Uniek and Rising Star were like "my own horses" since I wasn't able to own one ever. So for this, I am even more thankful for you, Yvonne, sharing with us a piece of your heaven! Thank you, thank you a million times!🥹♥️ With lots of love, Alexia from Romania.

Yvonne, I cried along with you. How many times I stood at where my Nikita slept. I kept her bed where it was till I was ready to move and put it up. In my hallway there is a memorial of her. I made a shadow box with some of her things in it. My girlfriend made a picture for me to keep beside her cremains and shadowbox. Grief has no timeline, Nikita has been gone since May 2005 and I still cry. Queen Uniek will be forever with you because of Belle and Risey. I was pleased to see you smile because I smiled when you said you had Uniek in the back of your vehicle. You will have smiles and tears as you remember her in your private moments. Funny about the rain, because the day my dad was to be buried it was raining terribly and as the time came to go to the cemetery the Heavens cleared and the sun came out and it was beautiful..ty for this memory of my daddy. Never forget you have a human herd thats here for you and there is nothing we will not hesitate to do for you..please ask, as there is never anything wrong with asking. Thank you for TikToc, Instagram, KZread. We love you and the others at Stal H. I love forward to seeing Belle, aka little Uniek grow and become who she is meant to be. Continued prayers as always for you physically and emotionally..Prayers for our Prince, Rising Star and boss Rein and Glendy.

It’s not bad luck. Look at it this way, Uniek left you a legacy. You have Belle to dote on and already Coralle was there to mother her so she doesn’t suffer that pain too much. Gods mercy there. I’m praying everyday for Rising Star. If she fails then he will join Uniek in heaven to rub the grassy fields forever. God Bless you and your family.
I can’t believe it. I am so sorry for your loss. Bought tears for me. She was so beautiful and loving. She raised Rising Star with her love. I first saw your channel when you united them. That was a miracle. Rip beautiful Queen.🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
My deepest condolences again, Yvonne. Queen Uniek will always be remembered and immortalized through your videos. We’re all so lucky to have had the time we did with her. We’re also incredibly lucky that she had one last opportunity to continue her legacy through Belle with Corella’s help. May her spirit guide Belle and Risey through their lives, and may you find peace and healing as time rolls by. Rest in peace, Queen Uniek. 💔
It’s so sad. Uniek took an orphaned baby and treated him as her own. Now she has left her own baby for others to raise. My prayers are with you
Thank you for sharing everything with us. It allowed us to grieve and say goodbye to your beautiful girl along with you. Sad for Risey to lose 2 mums. Along with the bad luck has come some good. God took Uniek home but left beautiful Belle for you and us. Amazing how it worked out. We will never forget her.
I finally have strength enough to say how deeply sorry I am for your loss of the beautiful, majestic, Queen Uniek. I like many fell in love with her and your channel when she took in and adopted baby Rising Star. Uniek was such a sweet and special horse. I’m happy that you now have Belle. While she’s not her mother and can’t ever replace her, I know many people who have had a heart Horse and wanted to get at least one offspring from them. I pray for little Belle’s protection and health. At least mommy Uniek got to see her. And now she’s watching over her and Risey. I couldn’t type anything before because I kept crying, well I’m crying now too but not as bad! 😅😭 I came for Uniek and Rising Star but stayed because I enjoy your personality and your dedication to these horses Yvonne. I grew up loving horses but have never had the opportunity to work with them or be around them often but I was so obsessed buying all the books to learn about them and watching all of the videos I can. I will continue to pray for you and hope you find comfort in your family, friends, your pets and your horses, especially Uniek’s precious Rising Star and beautiful little Belle.❤🙏🏻😢
I lost my mare I had since she was a a baby, two years ago, she suddenly presented in severe pain, abdominal rupture, I was devastated, I still miss her so much. 😟😟. You have beautiful baby belle, not bad luck at all. Risey is a beautiful young horse, not bad luck at all. You have lovely beautiful horses and more to come. You have many supporters, followers, lovers of your horses. The very best is still ahead! Remember we all pray for you, cheer for you, love that you don't give up, you have come so far. 🐴🐴👑👑💞💞

I started watching your channel long before you bought Queen Uniek, since then I followed step by step what was happening in the stable, when Uniek lost her baby and adopted RS, so many cute stories. Today I found out the bad news that Uniek has passed away, it hurts me and I have cried a lot but thanks God she left you Bella, a baby who will be beautiful like her mother. We are with you. Big hugs.
