Apollo The Shire & Santiago Michalek
Welcome to the Apollo The Shire channel. This is the story of my horse Apollo and our adventures. From farrier shoeing, to dressage competitions, to fine art paintings. A little bit of everything, Follow along as you enjoy the wonderful life and majesty that is Apollo. Shires are an endangered breed with only 3000 or so left in the world.

Fantastic job, beautiful horse, well done 👍🏻
God, I'm so envious.
Your painting of Apollo is as amazing as Apollo, himself.
Love this everything it comes on. Beautiful horse.
I enjoyed this video very much. In reference to the comment about playing in the water drain pipe = I have great memories of doing just that in the late 1940s near Strategic Air Command in Bellevue,
You should watch steve young horsemanship, he is an amazing trainer and works with the horses own natural instincts
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤beautiful video of Apollo and beautiful horse, I know that you both appreciate each other, the work out and training and caring, thank you for sharing the video
He’s sooooooo beautiful
a lifetime of food and pampering, they deserve it

I loved your video! Thank you for showing us how you worked with this beautiful animal! Writing from Panama
This is my first time at your channel. Beautiful, just beautiful. I just subbed, so I'll see you on the next one!
he is such a beautiful horse!! Thank You for saving have from hell and never selling him! You two belong together!!
He's the cinderella's of the shires = "Shirederella" 🐎
❤he is beautiful!!
Beautiful!
Sorry for my total ignorance, but would someone please tell me isn't there a part of the horses hoof that is tender? Which part is that?
That wjust amazing 😮! Such a skill to have !
Apollo is such a such a gorgeous horse and his temperament is good for such a young horse.
You're such a blessing to this incredible horse❤ I just bought an extremely thin paint mare. She's my 1st gaited horse. She so sweet❤ We've only had her a couple weeks and she is already looking some better and she is definitely much happier! She hasn't been around another horse for over 2yrs. She's over the moon excited to have friend's! We have her 1st visit from a wonderful farrier tomorrow and Im looking forward to seeing her hooves looking better. No doubt she will be more comfortable! Thank you for saving this magnificent horse! I'm sure it was a win win situation ❤❤❤❤❤
Your comments were stupid. The only good thing you said was that the actress was a good rider.
He is beautiful! Thank God you bought him. He is in a much better environment. I used to show quarter horses. Being 68 I am not able to ride anymore because of my body being broken down from a physical job. Enjoy the time you have with Apollo and your farm of horses! ❤
Anne McCafferty wrote a young adults book called Black Horses for the King. It’s the story of how King Arthur introduced large horses to England to fight against the Saxons with along with how horseshoes were developed in Roman times. I can’t help but think of that book while watching these beauties cantering. I recommend everyone who loves horses (even adults ) to read it. Well worth the time.
Wow!
Beautiful! I had a chance to purchase a beautiful black and white Clydesdale but knew my income could not afford his care. I trained horses for 43 years and was blessed to be able to train some Clydesdales from Budweiser to pull carts and to be ridden. Draft horses are soooo beautiful. Thank you for sharing your and Apollos journey.
This „Trainer“ works with Stress 😢
Is it Not too tight in his neck on the double lounge?
Lots of words of gratitude come to mind, but the best thing is to say THANK YOU! Apollo is beautiful and it will only get better. Love Apollo, such an amazing story and such a beautiful horse! God Bless Y'all!! 😊😊😊❤❤❤
Magnificent beasts aren't they. He's beautiful. Thank you 💕🇦🇺
So sweet Apollo loves the babies! Thanks for sharing ❤
Awesome!!
I remember when you purchased apollo, and he's not the same horse. He's a magnificent animal, and youve put so much time, money, and love into who he is today.! And the babies are amazing. Fun to watch them grow up! You have a wonderful live, living among these gentle giants!! ❤❤❤
I truly hope, that after all he has given you, that you keep him till the end of his days. That he gets to enjoy a soft retirement with you, even after his usefulness is over. He is a stunning horse that truly shows what love and other things, can accomplish! Apollo, you are awesome!
What is the breed bro
Of Apollo? He’s a shire horse
Why do you say P3 is not straight in the foot ? Foot grown twisted ? The frog centers over the P3 .(Coffin bone). Yes, I've seen twisted growing feet. I've seen indentations the size of your finger going across the hoof and had the pleasure of watching them grow out. And still trying to figure how they got there. You've done an awesome job. I take my time like you, many guys seem to rush thru. Horse owners are use to that then wonder why I might spend an hour and 1/2 shoeing vs 1 hr or less. I ask them how much quality they want.
Thx for sharing beautiful horse beautiful story
❤❤❤ Beautiful family... Apollo was meant to be yours ..your a team ..❤❤❤
Just found this today and was glued to every move you both made. Such a blessing to see a rescue horse in that heartbreaking condition to be loved back to health and joy. Well done. The heart you put into this and what a beauty he is inside and out.
Such a beautiful story, bless you for seeing the beautiful horse that he is.
It's all about love. Thank you for sharing what you do with Apollo with us. God bless you
I've only met one horse in my 64 years who loved dressage. The rest hated it.😂
He's SOOOOO Adorable 😍.
I remember when you got Apollo. I cried at his leg and foot pain. He is the most beautiful Shire. I just love him and all the love you gave him to heal.❤
Thank you for all of this! Fantastic to see him and you both grow. I learn from it as well, even for myself, especially at around 28 minutes into the video. I tend to think: "I can't do that, I'm not agile enough", or things like that, but with good and diligent training we can also accomplish more (even at 60 years of age, I think). Thanks! 😍 Good luck with him and best wishes to you all, including your daughter!
Goodness! Thank you for sharing and taking us along. Watching this demonstrating the teamwork of these horse's, do many together, makes one realize the TREMENDOUS amount of time and training that would go into this past or present. Great respect for this! And you got to meet and spend very quality time with a legend and one of your heroes. I am sure he was very pleased with all the wonderful things you and Apollo have done together. I am going to watch the complete 3 segments of this. Being a person who loves and appreciate s history, the jousting will be quite fastinating. Thank you Santiago.👏
God Blesss you.
I can't use a bit on my horse, not even a really gentle one but that's not because bits are abusive, its because the people who bread, trained, and hurt him were the abusive piece in the equation. I can't train that out of him and why would I? Not everyone who uses a bit is like those people
I totally agree… there isn’t one right answer, lots of possibilities depending on the horse and owner.
Thank you so much this was the highlight of my week. Bless you both.
What kind of carts are these besides 2 wheeled? Do they have a technical name?
