- 3 new foals have joined the herd! All bred from mares and stallions that we keep and work, we're aiming to produce an animal that is healthy, happy, and has a good temperament. These are the first foals from 2 of our younger stallions, and one from one of our older boys. As ever nothing quite goes to plan, they didn't follow their due dates at all.... and we had a couple of minor complications.... BUT what beautiful little horses!!

What I like and appreciate the fact that y'all let them be. No invading their space and most importantly letting them have privacy!! Horses have been having foals for thousands of years. I prefer to leave them in the field unless it's pouring rain and even then again, thousands of years. You bring the mare's in when you need to inspect or after birth problems. I cringe when I come across videos of people who just won't leave them alone. The bonding process happens when the mare licks the foal. People wipe off the baby with towels etc and take that important connection away from the mare. Makes me crazy! Thank you for letting nature take it's course.❤
Stop the criticis…. Enjoy the video!
I agree. The less we interfere the better. Loved the video, all of it. Gorgeous horses! ❣️
I love how you don't stable them but keep them sociable in a barn. You can see how they enjoy each others company.
Beautiful horses❤
Love your approach to breeding: Health, longevity and temperament before passport :)
Thank you! We've been really dissapointed with the health issues we've had with our pedigree lines, so we decided to follow a different path! Useful, healthy and happy is what we want!
Love your horses. I am a fan of the draft horse. They are powerful, yet graceful, and most of all beautiful ❤ The icing on the cake is the easy temperament and intelligence - what’s not to love 😄
oh i tell ya straight and fast path to a mare's heart and soul are treats and generous hourly long scratches! those impossible places they can't reach or strain to get to, i tell ya the one who takes the time to scratch all those impossible to reach places , and do so long enough on a daily basis, them mares will follow you around like a lost kitten, they will do any job on the planet just for more of them scratches, they will do just about anything to make you happy with them in return!!! they will love you for life and will be so quick to forgive any past issues. it is one of the best therapies for bonding as well, treats and scratches.
I’m a new subscriber and am SO in love with your horses and concepts!! I’m in the USA( Santa Barbara, California) and had a Percheron/ quarter horse mare as a kid. LOVE the Draft crosses for all the right reasons♥️Sending you all love, peace, and continued success on your breeding programs!!! Blessings!! More please♥️‼️🙋♀️☮️🐴💕
Thanks! ☺️
Hi from 🇺🇸. Absolutely beautiful horses!!
Worked heavy cobs for twenty years, really are the best.
Aunt Johnny here: I just discovered your channel. What a fun morning I had watching all the goings on with the babies, landscape, and herd interactions. Looking forward to seeing all your progress. Kindest regards.
Hi! Thank you for tuning in!
Beautiful conformation
They are all so gorgeous
I love that you give them the whole space of the barn rather than keeping them in boxes or stalls
I love horses my cousin trained draft horses not with me anymore but love see these has much I do.
Such beautiful horses!
Watching from Santa Fe, NM, USA
What a beautiful herd of horses you have❤
Oh how beautiful. I loved watching this. I will follow you as well, and watch you all on the farm, grow.😊
Beautiful foals and SO nice to see your horses so beautifully managed. Congrats!
And thank you for sharing.
Thanks! We're very pleased with them!
Your horses are stunning. The Foals so lovely. Many Greetings from Germany ❤❤❤❤
Omg three beautiful babies 🥰, my gypsy cob who l had many years ago was also called Dolly, the horses l’ve seen in this video are all so beautiful, tfs x Julie

😂
Beautiful foals ❤
Just found your channel I love it .Cobs are the best
They are indeed!
Beautiful your so lucky to have these beautiful animals
Gorgeouse horses cant beat a heavy i love your ethics regarding breeding, such beutiful foals,just found your channel and subscribed.😊
Thanks!
Do you ever sell your horses? This EXACTLY what I'm looking for in the future - something big and chunky, something able to ride & drive, but need a good temperament for my disabilities!
Yes these 3 will be available at weaning, we also have a yearling ardennes x for sale at the moment.
Such pretty horses.
oh wow what a fun project to do!! my heart races at the thought of how much joy and adventure ... it sort of has that Shire in middle earth feel to it doesn't it? I am super happy for you all and pray all goes well with your plans and what you set out to do. Just curious please? By chance is anyone keeping record with which breed of horse are being crossed with and their names so one can keep record of how the successes came about of what to do and what not to do to save everyone the head ache and heart ache for both breeders and horses? thanx :D
We do keep records yes, we were thinking they should be more in depth than they currently are though. We're breeding such small numbers that I don't think it's overly valuable to society as a whole, but it's certainly interesting to us.
Ohhh ❤❤❤
Woah i am new to your channel and love this 🇿🇦from western Cape South Africa ❤
Pagan is a gem
Yeah she is a beauty!
There's nothing like a good mongerel
Nice chipped and mostly gone nails ! Lol People notice the craziest things !
😂 Yeah we went to a wedding a few weeks ago, put it on, then realised we didn't own any remover because I haven't worn nail varnish for decades
❤❤❤
They r all so strong..good breeding..kudos to uall❤
Really Beautiful horses! ❤
They are all so cute ♥ Had a chuckle at Lottie happily trotting into pasture before realizing she forgot her little colt and ran back. XD
Your take on crossbreeding is quite interesting. You know how there is a myth that cross-bred dogs/mutts are generally more healthy than pure bred dogs (presumably because of their genetic diversity), does a similar myth exist for horses? I think you touched upon it in this video when you said you purposefully bred two horses to fix the leg issues of one of them.
By the way, would you guys be interested in making a family tree of your horses so we as viewers know who's related to who and what breed(s) they all are? I'd love to have a "cheat sheet" on hand when watching your videos. ;P
I could do! Yes we try to improve upon the bad traits, especially the ones that are extremely prevelant in any one breed eg the cpl in brabant.
How much do they have to work-the amish in US work horses to death-please don't do that-we have tractors now-horses already put in their time working to make thw world develop=they are done now buy a tractor
We have 19 horses, the most they do is 3 days a week. I am sure you can see from the video they are very well cared for and loved.
Stop the criticism ……..enjoy the video
❤❤❤
