    Wow, it's fantastic to see my horses, Queen👑Uniek and Rising Star⭐ on the Dodo channel. 😍😍
    The CZcams subscribers of my Friesian Horses channel had bought Queen Uniek for me. We were all looking forward to the birth of her foal. It was so sad when we found out Star was stillborn.
    But a day later an orphaned foal arrived. Wow, what a beauty! It was love at first sight between the 2. The Subscribers of my channel were allowed to come up with a name for him. It became Rising Star JK. And after a few months I was able to buy Rising Star.
    He is now a few months old and doing very well!! This can all be seen in the videos on my channel.
    Thank you so much for all your lovely comments! ❤❤❤❤
    Yvonne

    A little update about Rising star; he is a beautiful horse and until summer of 2023 was doing well and still a stallion but he has developed a condition called wobbler which is a neurological disorder they think something happened to his spine in his neck maybe. He has trouble controlling his back legs. They are keeping him isolated at Yvonne’s stable, where his adoptive mother Uniek is, to allow him to rest without any rough play that would happen if he was with other horses. He seems happy. They recently gelded him as well. He has had at least one treatment with a specialist who does manipulation, pressure points, and acupuncture where he seemed to have some improvement. We are all praying for a miracle that he will be healed of this condition.

    What is even more miraculous is that they were supposed to find the afterbirth of Queen Uniek and smear it onto Rising Star to give it the scent illusion (uterus aura) that it is a baby conceived of her but instead they could not find it, so they took the risk of introducing Rising Star without an assurance; low and behold, Queen Uniek accepted him regardless. Now, that's truly one in a million miracle for horses.

    • @babblerscorner
      @babblerscorner Před 2 lety +92

      I remember seeing this in one of the videos, them struggling in hope of finding the afterbirth and stressing when they could not! Uniek was so, so ready for Rising Star she barely flinched. I think they're only struggle was with initial nursing because she was painfully engorged but they got over that quickly enough. They're really a beautiful mom/son and a wonderful story. He's going to be a wonderful horse thanks to Uniek and Yvonne and the entire stable.

His head was forward rather than his hooves and the vet had to attempt to reposition him.

      This is especially good for the orphaned foal. Being raised by a mare is far better than being fostered by humans. The foal will learn how to be a horse, and healthier psychologically for it. Horses raised by humans are at risk of acquiring undesirable behaviors.

    This channel is great to watch, a place with no negativity or politics! It’s just comprised of beautiful stories of these Fresian horses. This breed of horses are so majestic, not only in their beautiful looks, but also in how they trot & cantor, and how they relate to their humans and other horses.
    The bond between Uniek & Rising Star has been wonderful to watch over the months since they were first introduced in this video. “Risey” has gotten so big and handsome over that time. Yvonne, the person responsible for their CZcams channel (The Fresian’s) was able to buy him at the time he was to return to his original stable. We followers had been preparing ourselves for his departure and were very sad about it. We were pleading to find a way to keep him there at Stal G in the Netherlands. But Yvonne & the original owner took care of that too. Now Yvonne owns both Queen Uniek & Risey & they will be with her forever. FYI, although it looks like it, Yvonne is not the owner or manager of Stal G but in fact, is a dedicated volunteer with tons of expertise who dedicates most of her days to taking care of & training I these beautiful horses. There are other volunteers who also are extremely dedicated as well. They make up the family that is so devoted to these horses that we followers feel a part of.
    Sounds like I am making a marketing pitch for this channel, and maybe I am,😘 But in actuality, I live in the USA and am just an enthusiastic follower recommending it to anyone who enjoys stories like this.

I haven't looked back and have looked forward to my weekly and sometimes daily peak into stal G. For those of you who might not be familiar the foal is named Rising star or Risey for short. He started off as a foster with the intention that at some point after he was weaned he would go back to his stable. However he was officially purchased by Yvonne and while she has her own stable with two cute Shetlands and a Rottweiler he and Uniek are staying at Stal G (yes Yvonne owns Uniek following a crowd raising to keep her from being sold last year but she too stays at stal G)

    I followed this whole process, it was so heartwarming see how their bond grew and grew 🥺

      Right. The other foals were weaned, but The Queen and young Prince had to be put back together for a couple of weeks.

    Uniek and Rising Star. The perfect adoption combination. She has been a wonderful mother to that foal. Love doesn’t depend on blood.

    Uniek and Risy! 😍Uniek is a truly special mare, I have been following them for a long time and watch their videos regularly. I would like to own my own Friesian horse one day, that breed is one of a kind. Goed zo!

    This story of Uniek accepting Rising Star as her own foal is unforgetable for me. I love it; don't we all?
