Love the sound of his hooves.
I didn't know that Apollo is only 6 years old !? This is amazing, he really is mature and sensible, it's incredible how very well trained he is. Really, this is fantastic. Looking forward to the ride :-)
Apollo is definitely the sort of horse I'd like to ride, has brakes and is sensible but not too lazy
It’s wonderful if you can ride out together in the countryside. Both you and the horses will love it. ❤️
Morning Tara your husband already seems to have a great relationship with Apollo so I’m sure with your guidance he will do great on the gentle giant 👍🏻 ps love the side shots of you on Apollo he’s magnificent X
@@Tara101 Yes, I was thinking that too, as you gave us the profile view. Apollo has marvelous conformation!

Apollo seemed to love stretching his legs. He's been doing a lot of work on his collected canter and a good blow out now and then, I should imagine, is very welcome. How wonderful that hubby is going to ride out with you. I couldn't think of a better thing that you guys could do together. Can't wait for the next clip 👍
That's another reason why I like watching your videos even though I don't own a horse, but your videos help me to understand, and respect horses, and nature all around us. 👍🐾👍🐾
This is so great on many levels! As Pharouk may not shy as much because of the confidence that apollo has on the trail, horses do learn from each other, now poor running man will have to try to keep up with both of you to film! Lol! Unless u get him a mount! Thats what happens with horses, you can never have too many! Lol! So great for u all! Cant wait to see you all riding out together!
I really enjoy your videos for several reasons. Your horses are so beautiful and I love your conversations with them as you ride! I also appreciate the opportunity to see the beautiful English countryside. Thank you so giving us a glimpse and also for sharing your horses with us!
This is awesome! I've often wondered why the two of you haven't ridden together. Now, the possibilities are endless. Every where you've ridden before will be new all over again. So wonderful! Hats off to Rens! And you for being the steadfast partner!!!! 🤗
Your videos of the Friesians always bring a smile to begin the day. Oh ya we cannot forget about you.
So excited that Rens will be riding Apollo! They seem to have such an affinity for one another!

Rens seems really lovely with the horses - I do hope he enjoys his ride! What perfect weather for a hack together in the glorious Yorkshire countryside.
The shrug of your shoulders summed it up perfectly Tara, a joy to be riding and totally in love with your beautiful horse who looks a picture and fantastic to weather to boot...Joy Joy Joy :) lovely to see :)
How wonderful What a wonderful life Tara Very beautiful Your dedication and kindness to the horses is amazing blessings Dee 👍👍👍👍👍👍🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴
Your place is lovely. Apollo is such a nice horse.
I can hardly wait for Ren’s ride on Apollo. I can see your love for your husband, thinking of every possibility, making sure of Ren’s safety. This is so exciting. Hello from Corunna, Ontario.
Bravo! Was waiting for him to go out riding with u! As i wasnt sure if he rode or not, but thought what a wonderfull thing it is to ride out on the trail with all your loved ones! The boys will love it too! As they will get to be together also, just take it slow and steady! So happy for you all! Hugs!
Oh I’m so looking forward to seeing Ren’s ride unfold. This will be great and will be fascinated to see both horses out together! Can’t wait 😁 Cathie from Aussie 🙋
I'm so excited about this and cannot wait to see part 2 It won't be long before you will needing a tailor made saddle bag so that little Ike can come along and enjoy the adventures too. Even the weather is on your side. Great stuff, have fun!
Your riding is wonderful and you and Apollo are AMAISING together it is like the dream team ❤️
Hey Tara hope yr keeping really well it was nice to see you up close on the cam your countryside looks amazing I live in West Sussex an the countryside is nice in places i have ashdown forest near me both your horses are georgous 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I love your video's so much Tara! This was interesting to see, especially how you took time to 'take the edge' off Apollo! It will be wonderful if you can one day have your hubby for company on your rides occasionally. Does he know it involves riding across some dangerous MOD territory though !!!! xxxx
Wow....it will be so nice if you can hack together in the beautiful countryside where you live! I am still doing ground work with the sweet girl I am working with though she has been ridden some. She doesn't look as big and powerful as she is until I am walking her past the nice patches of grass in the barn area....working on getting past them which is an exercise for me. So fun to see you take your hubby on such adventures in life. He clearly loves the boys so much. I think Apollo will be great!
I am please you have a sweet girl it will be great fun for you training her and the bond will be good too 🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺
Ah that is so nice that Ren's is riding with you and on Appollo!!! Wow can't wait for part 2. I haven't ride for a few years either, but Apollo has me wanting a horse just like him. I can't stop watching you with your gorgeous boy's and your lovely adventures. Super excited to see Ren's on Appollo and your new adventure all together. Have fun. Xx
Another great start to my day with a video ride on Apollo my dream horse. Thanks ❤🐎
Lovely to see you waving to hubby.i wave to my hubby when he goes to work on a morning 🙋
Hi Tara
When we were both able to ride my husband and i rode out together always. He was a much more experienced rider than me and because of this he gave me
more confidence in my own ability. We had some lovely times together and i hope that this will be the start of a new riding adventure for you and your hubby.
Happy Days.😊x
I'm really happy Rens is going to start riding again, it'll be something you can do together and he'll wonder why he left it so long! 👍😀👍
Oh how lovely to go ride together , something I love to do with my husband too ❤️
Sadly he’s old fellow passed on , so we haven’t ridden together for about 7 years , Will again soon hopefully 🤞 as we now have another dear Gelding, company for my sweet girl!
Tara your hair looks great 👍
It’s always great to see you prepare as well ...anytime with my horses is a good time & I love to see how others spend there’s 💐💕
So exciting, really looking forward to the next installment!! Beautiful ride out , Apollo's lucky day with two rides, your lucky day riding out with Rens and his lucky day to be on Apollo. Wins all round.
I like the new sitting area that you filmed from, and you look so relaxed in front of the camera now :).
Love your outfit, love the colors!! Also I look at the foliage and plants. Looks like daffodils right out of the driveway? I hope all went well Apollo is a great horse and when your husband is by him there's chemistry between them. Apollo will take care of him I'm sure of that.
You're absolutely delightful to watch and listen to. I'm binge watching all of your videos!! You have such a beautiful property and the trails you go to are wonderful !! new sub xo cheers from Canada
Looking forward to seeing this Apollo and Farouk out together (with their riders too of course!).
OH MY OH MY!!! So thrilled about this for you two! Can't wait to see the next video! So excited for Rens to ride!
So looking forward to see how Rens makes out. He has had quite a year, first time skiing and now riding Apollo! 😊
Sounds like a very good plan to me yes your sure right about the balancing part when out riding a horse that's for sure.
Apollo is a treasure Tara. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Oh my!! Thank you so much for sharing this with us all. I LOVE horses & felt I was riding !! Absolutely Beautiful 💖 ...
Hi am very excited and happy that your husband will be riding
I believe in him and good luck very happy
Now you may have to get a bag attachment for Ike to be able to come along! Lol!
Apollo seems a nice ride,not too fazed or spooked easily.
So would make a ideal comeback ride for REN .
Yah got to be careful out there I had a good friend of mine that almost fell off his horse when he was riding out,and about balancing, and training is very important indeed you've got to be careful out,and about. 👍🐾🐎🐴thank again for sharing this story with us very good horse 101 training there.
Oh, this is SO COOOL. I have't ridden a horse in years 'n' years. Thank you.
Wow, this is so exciting ! Good girl for wearing you high viz xxx
So true about balance. Tough to learn at first, but also not something that's natural forever, unless you train constantly. I haven't been on a horse since 2008, and I feel like I'd have to start over.
Aww Apollo looking over his half door.. so sweet. What made Ren decide to ride Apollo. Although I can’t blame him. Who wouldn’t. I was thinking of the Black Beauty music when you were cantering and a bit of a gallop.
Apollo is very calm and Rens has a bond with him. He did ride for a while three years ago but gave up.
Wonderful video!
Black beauty was born to run! Tara, I love your short hair. See you 2moro for part two.
You are delightful!
Lovely lady this is, sensible, kind and I could listen to her all day !! X
It would be so nice if you two could ride together 👍
Your hubby looks like he doing mime - can't see Apollo at all when he begins to pet him!
Looks kinda warm out there, down here in Texas it is in the 8o's to the low 90's here.
Texas is much warmer than here in Yorkshire, in summer the best we can hope for is about 75f. It sometimes get to 80 but that is very rare
@@Tara101 oh yes when the summer time comes for us it can get in to the triple digits in the summer time here in Texas.
You seem like such a nice person. It would be fun to trail ride with you.
Apollo wil do ok 👍🏻 and for Rens : je kan dit , skiën had je zo onder de knie dit gaat je ook lukken ( Rens You can do this, skiiing was a easy for You this Will be the same)
😁
Tara, can you share with us about the horse you had before Apollo. Was his name Konig? Why did you sell him? Is he in the US? Would you ever consider selling Apollo or Farouk?
Yes one of the horses was called Koning and he went to the US. The other horse was Zeus. When Rens stopped riding we sent them back to Stal Okkema which is who we bought them from so he could find them new homes for them. However I felt that Apollo missed having a companion so we bought Farouk. I don’t have any plans to sell either horse but I would not rule it out.
Male horse is better or female horse is better?
I got the 2 videos out of order, and didn't realize it was Rens in the second.
Curiousity: Have you ever considered a bitless bridle for Apollo?
@@Tara101 I agree, Apollo does very well on a snaffle [which is the standard for English pleasure over here, while a curb is for Western seat, both of which I used. And I personally have no use for a Pelham].
However, i only know 2 riders who use only bitless, both are not what you would call 'typical' in the horse world. As I no longer can, I just wonder what a regular rider, on a horse not specially trained for it, thinks.
Not sure if you’ve ever said, but how did you get into riding? I know it’s popular in your part of Yorkshire, was it a family thing? Or did you just find a stables nearby when you were a teenager?
hello, where is this being filmed ? v/r, c
i'm replying from st louis, missouri, usa . i'll google map your location. @@Tara101
wow, i just mapped your location - way far north of what i expected, your weather is chilly & damp for most of the year. i assume then, the fresians find the climate fine.
You and Apollo were truly flying! What a wonderful feeling, there is nothing to match it. I believe they truly love a good gallop. You are fortunate, Tara, to own such a noble animal and I'm so glad that you share him with us.
I like to share our lovely animals😊🦋💜💙💛
