One helluva thunderstorm!!! (Woody picked a great time to start napping again) / Equestrian VLOG
Not my usual type of video today ... We had a weather warning come through for thunder and lightning and naturally, because it's England, I assumed it would be one of the typical 'nothing' storms we are so used to in this country. Boy was I wrong! It started off pretty normal for what we would expect in our area but got louder and louder as time went on until it literally rolled right over us! The video doesn't really convey the volume of it. And the lightning seemed quite aggressive compared to what we usually see too, it struck the ground just the other side of the motorway which was quite scary. Hence my increasing annoyance that Woody chose this, of all times, to play with his little napping habit. My goodness I have tried to fix this problem with him over the years and it just never quite goes away. I'm convinced it is to do with him feeling rushed. Why that affects him I can't be sure, I have my suspicions, but sadly they will always just be a theory. It's incredibly frustrating when he does it at times when I really NEED him to move ... like when an epic thunderstorm is right on top of us ... or when I need him to get back on the horse box so we can go home, or when he doesn't want to leave his stable in the morning when I really need him to get a move on because I am late for work! (gr!). He just can't cope with being rushed and if there is any sense of urgency in me, he picks up on it and shuts down. Anyway, one hand on his head collar from Ian and he saunters right on in there 🤣🤣🤣
I don't know if this is 'normal' weather for some people in the UK, and I know it will be mild compared to viewers in other countries, but for our area this was exceptionally loud and unpleasant. And I'm not kidding when I say I've not heard thunder like that before!
And for the keyboard warriors out there ...
-yes, there is clutter everywhere (we were un the middle of projects) - no this is not the problem, he will happily walk through smaller gaps and has no issues with walking over (and breaking) things I carelessly leave in his way. He will even leave his field to come and 'play with' things we have left out while working. So, not scared of the 'stuff' that's everywhere.
-yes, I have tried all the training advice I could find and have done unthinkable amounts of groundwork with him over the years - no it has not fully resolved the problem.
-no, I don't think there is anything wrong with him per say, he can just be a difficult person sometimes (much like his human mother 😂 We are well matched in stubbornness!)
-yes, I get frustrated when he is being difficult - I am only human!
and yes ... I squeal like a girl when thunder and lightning startles me!!! 😂
Phew, that was a lot of text ... well done if you read all of that! The self-conscious part of me felt the need to explain and / or justify some things because I know what the internet can be like sometimes. Probably unnecessary ... but it made me feel better 😂

It's time to get these horses back into some regular work!! This summer has felt like a complete right off to be honest. Between all the DIY, work, and distinct lack of competitions it really has felt like all work and no play. But we're almost done with the repairs now, just one big job left to tackle and a few other bits and bobs to get done and we should be ready for winter. That means I fin...
Blue's laminitis recovery journey (Part 1) / Equestrian VLOG
zhlédnutí 375Před 21 hodinou
I decided to start documenting Blue's recovery journey from day one, so the first few clips in this video are from just after the vet visit. As you can see he was still pretty sore at this point, but still loads better than before he had his first dose of pain meds. As the week goes on he gradually improves and his usual personality starts to shine through, which did get somewhat problematic af...

Hey guys! So this video is reaching you a little out of sequence, but I decided I wanted to post it straight away because someone might have the answer to my problem. So Blue's feet as many of you will know have been problematic from day one, and they are not looking their best at the moment I will admit. In fact I'd say they have taken a step backwards this year, my guess due to him not gettin...

Hey guys ... time for a little catch up. So our channel actually got monetized earlier this year and I have been meaning to do some videos about that side of my journey, but just never found the time to do it. I really wanted to dive into all the analytics with you all but I very rarely get a chance to sit down and actually plan videos, they just sort of happen 😂 So that hasn't really manifeste...
Disaster ... ANOTHER unplanned vet visit! What's wrong with poor Blueberry now? / Equestrian VLOG

Yup ... it's been one of those weeks. Heck, it's not been a great summer really! Today we had another vet visit, this time for poor Blueberry. My heart absolutely sank when I brought him in from the field, and almost instantly my mind said 'laminitis'. I try to be systematic and logical when approaching problems with the horses, so I gave him a good look over and tried to assess exactly what wa...

I think he is weatherproof cob
@@donnajeffery8267 love it! 😆
Love a good storm. I could hear that the other day going off in the distance, it did sound dramatic.
Very dramatic. I used to like storms until that one happened ... Think I'd like to stick to hearing gentle rumbles in the distance 😂
Woah what a storm! Love a good storm. Nothing happened here just rain. Woody is definitely bomb proof 😂. Reminds me of trying to get my son out the house to the school bus 😂
Oh goodness yes that is exactly what Woody is like!!! 🤣🤣 Typical teenagers!
Flipping heck Ravers, that was some storm ⛈️, and Nob 🤣 bless him he loves cuddles doesn’t he, and looks like you enjoy the rain too lol, tfs x Julie
He absolutely loves his cuddles ... I think he might be the cuddliest horse I have ever known ❤️ I wouldn't say I like the rain per say, but I'm so used to being out in it that it doesn't bother me. Especially when it's warm summer rain
Oh I love the cozy vibes of your bonfire!❤
@@KingsMom831 it was a very good bonfire ❤️
The bonfire looked amazing in that light! That shot of Woody leaning on you, and you both staring into the distance is over-the-fireplace worthy! 🖼️
@@Siobhan_Shivaun haha he does this quite often. It's our little cuddly bonding thing ❤️
Haha can't believe you didn't just leave him 😂
@@PonyFunWithCloverJasmine I was genuinely scared he'd get struck by lightning 😂 idiot horse!!!
He's not really sure if he likes it or not , but he's going to eat all just to make his mind up !
Oh yes, he has to be absolutely sure 😂❤️
It's easy to understand the love humans have for horses.
The KING of Lettuce !!
😂
That was funny😂 just flicks it with her mouth😂😂
@@KeeganAnderson07 yeeeah he was not impressed 😂
@@raversmead 😆 LOL 😆
Much better choice with the molasses free as it’s 1.25% sugar compared to the other happy hoof which is 4%. It’s mad they can get away with saying something is suitable, you really have to check the bag!
@@samlewis312 Absolutely ... Always read the bag!! I remember I started properly reading the bags a few years back when I was working in a feed warehouse (purely because I was surrounded by an abundance of information and I got curious). It was really interesting comparing the different names and brands and looking at exactly what you get for your money. All I'll say is some big name brands are selling a whole lotta nothing for a whole lot of money 🤐
Ohh he likes that, gorgeous fella, a chilled one would be nice for a warm day 😅 my friend’s horse loves cucumbers and carrots, you could literally feed 2 carrier bags full of them and she wouldn’t get bored chomping away 🤣😂
Carrots are the yummiest ❤️ sadly Blue didn't approve of cucumber though
Good girl 😘
Can he not go out on the little sand turnout that you have?
@@PonyFunWithCloverJasmine not at first, we really needed him to rest his feet. He is now though
Hes telling you where to shove your vegetables!! 🤣🤣
@@PonyFunWithCloverJasmine didn't he just!!! 😂

Cant believe he stands there in those buckets! Could you imagine Angel standing with her feet in buckets hahaha

Morning from coventry UK, she is so sweet . We had a Shetland pony down the riding school. When I was 6yers old and every time you waited to ,trote or canter it would buck . Thank you for sharing your day, take care and all the best. 👍👍👍😄😄😄😄💟💖🐶🐶

Lovely pas de deux with Tia going on there!! 😂

Yummy😊
Finally something he approves of ❤️ ish
Cronch cronch cronch 😂😂
Tis a glorious sound ❤️
His face 😂😂
@@EJMEQUESTRIAN not impressed 🤣
So well deserved, you make such good videos <3 I'm proud of you <3
Thankyou ❤️
Just love the fact that he is standing in buckets <3 <3 I know a few horses who would be scared out of their mind. I hope he will recover fast <3 poor guy <3 <3
He's so good isn't he, it really pays off to do desensitizing and trust building with horses ❤️ although as time went on he got fed up of this game and would just walk away after a few minutes 😂
So cute😊
He has his moments ❤️
Such a champ with his feet in the buckets. Emerald Green Feeds is worth a look, they don’t add anything to their chaffs from what I gather. Oh Blue having a chew of your newly renovated stable, naughty chap!
@@EJMEQUESTRIAN ooh I've not heard of them, will definitely check that out ❤️ Yes that rail is going to need replacing I think, he's had a real good munch on it now! 🙄 Hey ho, it's an easy job to do at least
He is a beauty!
❤️
He's a stroppy patient isn't he?? Couldn't stop laughing at him not wanting the marrow!! 😂 He looks a good bit brighter these days 💖💖
Oh yes, Blue is very opinionated 😂 I loved that lip flick, it was almost like he flipped me off 🤣🤣🤣
@@raversmead I thought he'd grab the marrow and spit it back at you!!! 🤣
Sweet boy😊
❤️
He's the goodest boy!!!
he has his moments ❤️
😂 thank goodness he's so calm!!
When he knows he HAS to behave he does so beautifully. Most of the time he is an impatient needy child who breaks anything and everything he can reach to get some attention 😂 He also turns it on like crazy in the show ring. Funny boy!
We are always checking the sugar content in the feeds we feed Healthy Hooves with the biotin in it and also going to drop one of the feeds as got lots of cereal in it to help with the mallenders so gunna be feeding pony nuts but yeah we are totally obsessed checking the sugar contents xx
TBH we always used to as well, but I guess over the years complacency and a need for more affordable feed kinda took over. Lesson learned the hard way! Interesting you mention it affects mallanders, I too have noticed this in the past. Although, none of them have had it particularly bad this year, despite being on fairly high sugar grain feeds. Maybe that one is a bit more complex than just sugar and grain affecting it ... I might have to do some research there 🤔
@@raversmead we were feeding a feed called Pegasus mix which is like a cooling mix with lots of grain in it and thats when I noticed on my hairy cob that she started getting little sores all over her legs so we treated it with E45 just to keep on top of it so over the summer where she hasn’t had it and when in work would just get the chop and some speedibeat the mallenders have gone so I think will be watching things once they come in for winter, there’s no grass in our paddocks so there getting the large Hay bales so far all our three ponios looking good xx
Can you take him for a walk ?
@@user-pn5zs3fn9v I'm thinking about it, I've started increasing his outside time now and we will go from there. All the advice I have found says to be cautious when reintroducing movement and exercise, as even though the horse looks sound there can still be weaknesses in the laminae. Too much too soon can put them back to square one
@@raversmead Oh my
I want 🍎🍏🍎🥕🥕🥕 mum
@@user-pn5zs3fn9v well he can't have them right now 😂 maybe next year. Poor boy though, he really does love his apples
