This was so much fun!! The Go Pro at the bottom was INSPIRED. Little wet underwater horse noses!! Soooooo cute!! Given how nervous Joka was with the evil spiky ball of death, I was impressed by how brave she got and how quickly she figured out how to get apples. Meatball figured it out too! Everyone figured it out quickly, I just think Joka kept everyone away. This is the downside to chasing a lead horse away from an object - she can move all the horses in the arena, so getting her away was a challenge. My goodness Gracie is brave and clever especially when food is involved. And Lena was a pro almost immediately. Roni seems super wary of Joka, so when he finally got his turn he was so incredibly delicate and gentle with the apples. He made me laugh over and over with his blowing bubbles!! And of course, Luke and Annie were in there in a jiff. So much fun!! Let's do it again!! Please pass good wishes to David and scritches to Zeus. I hope they are both doing well. Have a gorgeous day.
If you had told me a week ago I would take 22 minutes out of my day to watch horses bobbing for apples ...I would have laughed in your face...but alas...I did and it was one of the most satisfying 22 minutes I've had in a LONG time. Thanks so much for making me smile! 😄🍎🐴
Loved this one too, it was hilarious. Joka who didn't want to have anything to do with the ball here you hardly couldn't move her away from the pool. And Annie stepping into it of course. Great underwater footage, and the sound of the horses catching the apples in the water even felt refreshing !
I was really suprised at how much Annie was allowed to the pool when Joka had control of it and then when Lena had control of it. Annie and Luke stayed the longest and got the least on their own lol. I also noticed Annie had gone to stand with Lena and Gracie when u took her an apple, and they didnt run her off. Looks like Annie has moved up in the herd as Mocha takes that bottom slot. Interesting stuff...really enjoyed watching the dynamics of the herd as they had to be closer instead of the usual running and driving and pairing off they do. Good job herd leader!!❤
I am loving the last two enrichment activities! So much fun for the horses, and so much fun for you and us! All the angles on the proceedings are hilarious and muchly appreciated ;) SO MUCH FUN! I think Joka has done this gig before. PS I suppose the scary wooden crate is going to be the next training tool :) Their reaction to it was hilarious, despite the apples :)
What a blast! The camera shots below and above water were awesome. Yoka sure aced that game. Clever little icelandic! The initial panic over the box was hilarious. After a slow start Roni got right in there, blowing bubbles even. This was so much fun to watch.
Thank you so much for this! Joka is a pro. Ronnie blowing bubbles was hilarious, and the underwater cam was great. Ok. I'm running out of adjectives...
It's so lovely to see them doing something different .. I do love watching how they interact... Love each and every one of them. You so lucky to be able to live amongst them every day.. Every time I watch I smell horses , love that smell. 😂Have a great day and enjoy them.. All the best from here in Australia.. Give them some love from me , thanks. Bye for now. ☺️🙋❤️🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎 Xxx
Apple bobbing horses BEST FUN video! Great GoPro shots. Joka was awesome I knew she'd get it first! Lol how she got really good not wanting to leave, hiding behind Luke to get back in 😅😂 Once Mr Wilde and Joka were out was fun seeing Roni Lena Luke Annie having their turn. Good job Roni! Blowing bubbles so funny but got it!
This was SO fun! Please continue with these creative and rewarding horsie challenges! It'll be interesting to see how they apply their new "ball of treats wrangling" and "pin the apple to the bottom of the pool" skills in other applications that they may come across in their lives. I really think that it adds to their confidence and capabilities in other potentially startling scenarios as well as builds up their problem solving abilities. I feel like they are very fortunate to be with a caring and creative caretaker that provides these clever tasks. It clearly keeps them stimulated and i believe more mentally healthy/less stressed in the long run. I couldn't love it more. What lucky lives these horses have! Please keep doing these fun challenges! Also, fantastic job on your camera set ups and editing. Nicely done for us viewers. Thanks, Graeme. Another outstanding video to add to the books.
Great stimulation for them too! Mr Wilde keeps rising to the occasion-maybe he is the BRAVEST of them all. The others guys better watch out -he’s liable to become herd leader-when the girls see what a brave dude he is.
YAAAY, so glad you got this video up so fast, cause after I seen the little "teaser" clip you put out yesterday, I couldn't wait to see the whole video. THAT WAS A BLAST!! I LOVED IT 😃 What a great idea that was Graeme. I think they all did great 👍 and looked like they all had fun doing it 🐎. Awesome bobbing for apples game. Blessings always 🙌 Jennifer
That was a fun one, they really went for it! You called it that Annie would end up in the pool, she waited until you were distracted to attempt it. Joka is the master, I think!
This was hilarious, especially at the beginning when everyone ran screaming from the box. "It's a white box! Run everyone!" Joka is a master at apple bobbing. The different camera angles were great. This was so much fun. Thanks, Graeme!
Oh noooo the box of doom!! lol Surprised how distrusting they all were of that box. Well, that is one way to keep them off the apples. They all rose to the occasion to get those apples. Roni blowing bubbles was the best.
Oh my goodness, too much fun! LOVED the underwater cam and ASMR 👍👍 Joka says, "My middle name is Bobbin!" I laughed through most of this video. They're hilarious with this. You're the BEST horse Daddy. Question: At 12:44 was Lena mad towards you? She's quite intimidating, aren't they all at times though
This is so fun! It seems like they really enjoyed themselves. It's really interesting to see who comes and goes, and when. Looks like it was well worth cleaning up that gnarly water afterward 😅 Edit: And Gracie was very interesting in this one. She was one of the first in, but one of the first out. I wonder if she'd have more interest in a less crowded situation. (edit 2: I just saw the grass ball video and I'm leaning toward the crowd possibly being a factor in her leaving the pool)
Gracie is so brave!! Good on her for going right in on something new! Also Roni just not participating at the start and everyone else just drinking water was so funny.
Gracie for the win as number one to eat one! I swear I think she screams when they get too close like “BACK OFF PEOPLE!” 😂😂😂 I just don’t think she like the close corners of this game. But she sure figures stuff out fast! ❤😊 This kind of enrichment is so fun and good for them and us. Love it!😊❤
Ah, that was much fun to watch. Gracie exploring the first and Roni blowing bubbles were the best. I was astonished that there wasn’t too much chasing around, they were too busy 😅 Good idea with the different camera viewpoints. Thanks a lot!
That was so funny when they got in the pool and yes I did think Annie was going to brack the pool and Joka got mad 😡 when the others got in and she was not happy with you when you chased her out of the pool and Roni was so funny when he blew bubbles in the pool I even laughed at that one .
I 've loved these latest videos ! The underwater camera footage was great too. Such a successful activity! Gramme to Luke" I don't need you" Luke" but I think I need you"😊
That was so much fun! I don't think I've ever laughed out loud so much, smiling and rooting for them. Love watching them figure it out and so quickly, for the most part. It makes me wonder in what situation would they do that in the wild? I imagine that they instinctively know to blow bubbles as I understand that they aren't actually able to hold their breath underwater. Would they naturally try to eat stuff out of a river or lake? Just thinking out loud... curiouser and curiouser.
I don't think they would ever do this in the wild as there wouldn't be a food source to go after. If they were super thirsty then they might all go to a small watering hole kind of thing.
@@StableHorseTraining I really had to stretch my imagination to think of a situation where they might. The best I could come up with is that maybe if they were in an area that was super dry and didn't have any grass, maybe they would go for seaweed at the edge of a lake(?) Random thoughts.
A++ great fun! Thank you for your time & effort. I know they all enjoyed it! Yummy! I sure did, lol! The box was great. Have you seen those misters around walk-up coffee shops? Wonder how they would do with a couple of those? You think they would figure out it's cool on a hot summer day? Hum such a thing in nature? Waterfall?
I have seen those, they're neat and some people use those with their horses. I'm not sure if they sort it out that it's cooler around it. I was thinking of setting up sprinklers maybe and seeing how they do with those
We need to contact Guiness, and see if we can get Stable Horse Training to set some sort of record. Either number of apples bobbed in one minute, or number of horses bobbing. At this point, it isn't a category so it would be whatever Guiness would expect as a minimum. Think of the exposure the wildies in particular would get, even if someone else's stable did better the next year.
Maybe you could do it in shifts with their little clicks and put some new apples for each shift. Then there wouldn’t be so much resource guarding by the top horses. 🤷🏻♀️😊
This was so much fun!! The Go Pro at the bottom was INSPIRED. Little wet underwater horse noses!! Soooooo cute!!

Please pass good wishes to David and scritches to Zeus. I hope they are both doing well. Have a gorgeous day.
Thank you very much! Scritches for Zeus and happy thoughts to David for sure! I hope you have a great day too!
Joka is killing this game! She's a rock star apple bobber!!!
She's a bit *too* clever for this game - she definitely slayed it!
If you had told me a week ago I would take 22 minutes out of my day to watch horses bobbing for apples ...I would have laughed in your face...but alas...I did and it was one of the most satisfying 22 minutes I've had in a LONG time. Thanks so much for making me smile! 😄🍎🐴
I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
Now you understand why we spend countless hours with horses. It`s a drug that makes you feel better.....permanently with no side effect

Yes, I seem to now have a new thing to work on with them... a box... weirdos.
@@StableHorseTraining 😄

That was brilliant to watch. Loved Roni’s bubbles 😂
Emptying the pool by drinking the water is an unconventional method but not against the apple bobbing ruleset as far as I know 😂
I LOVE the underwater shot with the apples tumbling in!
Thank you so much for this! Joka is a pro. Ronnie blowing bubbles was hilarious, and the underwater cam was great. Ok. I'm running out of adjectives...
Glad you enjoyed it!

You have the best daycare ever 😂
haha Thanks!
Awesome video. “Lena’s in there like a dirty shirt”😂

You're the BEST horse Daddy.

Annie smiles!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂 the box was hilarious. That was fun. A bunch of Smarties. ❤

Best entertainment on CZcams!!😄
Day camp activities! These are such fun to watch but so interesting to observe behaviors! Thank yo for sharing!
Gracie is so brave!! Good on her for going right in on something new!
Also Roni just not participating at the start and everyone else just drinking water was so funny.
This is adorable! How fun!
I loved this! I was rooting for Roni and said Yay! out loud when he got one. 😁
Gracie for the win as number one to eat one! I swear I think she screams when they get too close like “BACK OFF PEOPLE!” 😂😂😂 I just don’t think she like the close corners of this game. But she sure figures stuff out fast! ❤😊
This kind of enrichment is so fun and good for them and us. Love it!😊❤
Just adorable and soooo much fun for them...(& us)🤗
The under water video with those noses bobbing under was TOOOO CUTE ❣🐎
LMAO, Roni the scubadiver xDDD that was so funny , i mean whole vid was funny, they so cute but Roni nailed them underwater bubbles xDDD
This was fun !! I love the GoPro shots too ❤
Ah, that was much fun to watch. Gracie exploring the first and Roni blowing bubbles were the best. I was astonished that there wasn’t too much chasing around, they were too busy 😅 Good idea with the different camera viewpoints. Thanks a lot!
Love the vantage points with underwater too!!❤❤❤
The underwater shots are great!❤
Love this one, wish I would have known this when I had horses. Gave my stallion a tire to play with, the mare's watched him like he was nuts.
The thumbnail is too adorable 😍 💕 ❤️
Hey every body, come drink over here. We'll lower the water level and make these pesky apples easier to catch.
The underwater view is hilarious!
this is EXACTLY what I need to reduce my stress level for today
So fun to watch the horses bob for apples!
Oh Joka😂 Another lovely video!
That was so funny when they got in the pool and yes I did think Annie was going to brack the pool and Joka got mad 😡 when the others got in and she was not happy with you when you chased her out of the pool and Roni was so funny when he blew bubbles in the pool I even laughed at that one .
I love the sound of all the horse lips!
I 've loved these latest videos ! The underwater camera footage was great too. Such a successful activity! Gramme to Luke" I don't need you" Luke" but I think I need you"😊
That was fun enrichment for them and entertainment for us!
Loved the apple bobbing and ball bobbing - some of the most fun videos to watch!!!!
Awesome fun. 👍
you do not know how bad I needed this today. TY TY TY

Thanks!
Those pools are actually quite resilient
I loved the underwater view. So fun to watch.
watching this a second time makes me think of how you said Joka always seems to act with intent. In this case her intent was to get ALL the apples
Love all the views and the general hilarity!
Great time. Thank you😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
An excellent summer game. This engages everyone in different ways. Love it!
HORSIES!!!
That I must say was very fun to watch.
Thank you!

That's a fun idea!! I like it. How do we get that to happen?
This is so much fun to watch! Thanks for making me laugh.
Poor Mr Wilde, unless I missed it he couldn’t get one. 😩😩
So great! I need to try this with my horses!
Joka is now banned from the apple pool!
In all seriousness, this was super fun to watch. Maybe try with carrots next time.
My horses loved nectarines! And yes they ate the flesh and spat out the stones lol
Absolutely ingenious, as you say, fun for all 🍎🍏👏👏👏👏
That was great for them and entertaining for us. Thank you
Kids at Summer Camp, lol.
❤ great idea. What fun
That was a great video they sure all enjoyed bobbing for apples
Great video! Love the under water view.
Weird! That last one is not even mine & it added- Os ago…I don’t even know what that is..??
What a cool idea! Loved watching them all ❤🦄
Fun, thanks!
Great video!
Great idea. I love it.
A couple of them did that flehmen response but under the circumstances was it really just water up their noses? Great fun to watch them interact.
I'm not sure, good question
Maybe you could do it in shifts with their little clicks and put some new apples for each shift. Then there wouldn’t be so much resource guarding by the top horses. 🤷🏻♀️😊
I love it!!🍎🍏🍎🍏🍎🍏🤎
What a riot….great idea ..loved it😎💙😇
poor Joka -she's so smart😁😊 and Gracie got nothing 😢🐴
Awesome
I love this soooo much, so funny, feel like I should do this with ours now 😂, the old adage of Arabs and water don’t mix might be at play here 😂
What fun!
Scaredy horsies , them boxes be evil !
Yoka is like me and icecream
Walmart sells baby pools for $12 in case you have access.
I swear Luke is pushing them to the others.
😂😂😂❤BRILLIANT FUN!!
箱からは直接食べないように言われてるのかなぁ、お行儀いいなぁ
そうかもね。なぜか箱がきずか何か付けると思っているみたい
Nevermind I see what it means! Sorry
You'd think they'd just open their jaws really wide and grab one with their teeth, but they don't - they keep trying with their lips!
I think there trapping them up against the weight
🤣🤣🤣 ❤️
