I love this breed. One thing for sure...the handlers are in fantastic shape too. 😎
They have to be, knowing how strong and quick the Friesian Horse really is.
IMAGINE having to keep up with these stallions, standing SO CLOSE to those hooves. WOW
They have to be. Also, as someone who has been a handler a few times, the more you can synchronize with your horse, the better.. and that is a *lot* of work, because Friesians can really *move*.. ❤️❤️❤️
Also.. these horses tend to be real sweethearts which is a bonus..
And they must know how to best present the horse. Wonderful job.
Breathtaking. The handlers have be tall, fit and strong to run and display those stallions at their best. Some were not as good as others. ALL the stallions were magnificent. Looks like a fun show.
They are all so beautiful I don’t know how the judges decide.
One more example, of the magnificence of The Friesian.... Farewell Jasper 366...... Stunning! Beautiful! Noble!
Wishing Yvonne all the best in her recovery. So thankful that she has returned to her family and those she holds dear.
The Frisian, horses of knights and princes, the companions of unicorns! Magical creatures! Thank you.
Such gentle giants. So much power and grace. They are wonderful to watch!!!!
Wow, Friesians are quickly becoming one of my favorite breeds.
@DarkXmiss I love them because they are friendly and cool horses. Easy to handle and not as nervous as other breeds. I had a bad fall from a horse as a teenager, and I am always a bit scared now when I sit on a horse. We have some Friesians in our village, and I feel super safe on them 🙂
They have always been mine, but I am also partial to a skewbald Cob!
@DarkXmiss my favorites used to be Morgans, before I fell for a dun gelding... I have no idea what breed he was; I cared for him several summers in my early to mid teens but I loved him for many years after that.
It’s only later in life that the showy but sweet Friesians have won my heart.
Yes, me too!❤
What a wonderful world is the Friesian Horse World! WHAT HORSES!!! Thank you for taking us with you! ❤️
I think I liked the first horse best. How absolutely breathtaking!
Oh Yvonne! I cannot begin to tell you how much I enjoyed this! You are a fantastic teacher! Wow! So much to learn! It takes time and lots of practice to develop an eye for all that! Thank you so much for taking the time to share this and help us learn too! What magnificent specimens! I’d agree with the jury, although I wouldn’t have been upset if Fonger came in first. 🥰
Thank you so much for explaining all the different things the judges are looking for. All I know is that they are the most beautiful, graceful horse I have ever seen. x
I'm sure they know they're being admired! I"m amazed at how docile these mature stallions are. What a sweet breed.
The manes and tails of the Stallions flowing in the breeze .....Fonger is Majestic ❤
What a pleasure to watch these stunning stallions. Difficult choice to make for sure. I did have a couple of favorites. I also noticed each handler's showmanship during the individual showing of each horse. Some were much better with their horses. Also, some did all they could to keep up with the horses. To be sure, handling each of these swiftly moving stallions is difficult at best. I also think that much of the breaking out of the trot was more the handler's fault than the horse - it's all about keeping up with the horse and how the head was being held. I thoroughly enjoyed these showings. Tough decision to be sure. Thanks for letting us see a good bit of the class.
Now I feel that I understand it better, although I still thought Fonger was the most beautiful in motion. Yvonne, you are so skilled at explaining each single element of a complicated picture! I know you must be using this same skill now to talk yourself through the elements of your rehabilitation!
So true. Yvonne is retraining herself!
Takes my breath away..
They are all stunning. Wow!💖
It was very nice to have a play by play description of what the judges were looking for. I can not imagine having to pick the winners,they all looked so good!!
They are all so magnificent, I would have a hard time picking a winner. lol. Best leave it to the experts. I love Jasper 366 and his long trot, as he appears to float. Everytime I see these Stallions I compare to him. Thank you for posting.
Thanks again, this is so enjoyable. Though I know nothing of horses I have trained dogs and can appreciate the work that brings these results.
JUST LOOK AT THAT BEAUTIFUL FRIESIAN TROT!!! IT'S ALMOST AS IF IT WAS A TRAINED BEHAVIOR... BUT IT'S QUITE A NATURAL WAY THAT THEY WALK...EVEN WHEN THEY'RE NOT TRYING TO IMPRESS ANYONE!!! I LOVE IT!!! THE HANDLER IS ALMOST INVISIBLE DRESSED IN WHITE; AND ON THE ICE!!! GOOD JOB BY THE HORSE!!! AND THE HANDLER!!! THANKS FOR SHARING!!!
Imagine the training needed to keep all those stallions calm and mannerly in each other's company. Imagine a dozen breeding stallions together and not one attempted fight!
That’s crazy, isn’t it? Would be interesting to see them when a mare is near, haha 😂
But generally speaking, Friesians are so relaxed and super easy to socialize.
I can watch this again and again as there are so many beautiful stallions to see. I recognise some of them as fathers of the foals and mares you've been looking after.
I wait patiently every year for this competition to see the best of the best prancing their way around the ring! I loved Fonger!
I would be in awe if I was in the stands these horses just gracefully run like they're floating on air beautiful
All so beautiful! Some of the horses have very long manes! They are lovely and or handsome on the horses! I can see, though, it may be harder to judge certain areas? The Friesian Horse is so beautiful! Thank you Yvonne! You did a great job in teaching! You are the Best, Yvonne! It was like I was right there with you! I learn more and more as time goes on! Thank you, again!🐎💖🐎💖🐎💖🐎💖🐎💖🐎💖🐎
I'm so full of house pimples!!! Jehannes, yes. But the whole breed had me mesmerized 💖🤗💓💙🌹 Yvonne, you for great explaining how the Freisan horse is judged!! Thank you from New York!
Thank you for all the explanations it made it a little better to understand, these horse are just breathtaking it would be hard to accurately judge if I was the having to choose. Thank you again
The fluidity of movement is mesmerizing.
It's interesting to see how horses are shown/judged in different parts of the world. These are truely beautiful animals!
They are indeed all very fine horses! Jehannes moves with tremendous reach and suspension. I agree with the judges! 😉💜
All I know is that these are the most beautiful horses in the world! IMO😊
I learned a lot indeed, so fascinating! Thanks for this Yvonne!!! And those stallions.... magnificent!!! I never get tired of watching them trot so proudly and elegant in the arena!
So many beautiful horses. All the love and skill put into them is obvious. I do laugh about the handlers. They must train on their own to be able to keep up. Thank you so much for making the videos and such great captioning. I love reading your words you explain things so well.
Such magnificence and manners!
One thing I've noticed (and perhaps it's only me,) is the forward motion and 'floatiness' or spring in a Friesian's gait causes a gorgeous head tilt (from ears down to muzzle) from side to side, as if the horse is tapping out the rhythm of its hoofbeat with its head. Not all friesians have it but when they do, for me that adds to their extraordinary beauty of movement.
I love the head wag! It's almost as if they're trotting to music only they can hear. :)
They seem to float, effortless. These stallions seem so well tempered, that must be the result of handling.
Does a stallions manners/personality ever factor into the decision made by a breeder? Are they all as well tempered as they appear?
Kate B
Actually, yes! Potential breeding stallions only get approved, if they have ‚good stable manners‘ generally and behave themselves around mares and so on. They also need to show willingness to work and learn and so on. Being judged on that is part of the (very demanding) selection process for studbook stallions.
But it probably also helps, that these people are absolute pros in handling them, of course.
Friesians are warmbloods and so are more docile than hotbloods like Thoroughbreds and Arbs.
Agree.
And we know if the average offspring have a good temperament or not. With that information we look at the mare her temperament. We decided if it can be a match or not..
@@BlaBla-pf8mf The Arabian is a hotblood, while the Thoroughbred is a warmblood.
I do think all these men running along with their stallions deserve a lot too ! Its magic how their moves are the same .
They all look very smart and proud.
I have 2 mares Frisian and just got a 2-1/2 year old stallion,the baroque type ☝️it’s the only one I like to have,sport,classic or royals or not quite my type.
Thanks for explaining Yvonne, I like to watch the inspections because I learn from her.
OH MY GOODNESS!! There's so many things to look for but because you explained it do well ... I can see it!! I liked Jounger, Jouwe, & Alwin. I was surprised Jouwe was so low in ranking... But like you said, they are all champions!! Thanks so much explaining, now when you go to shows I know how to pick them!! Jonah Rein will be in there one day with you watching out for him!!! 😃😀🐴
My Mom raised and showed German Shepherd Dogs when I was a kid 60s and 70s. This is basically the same thing. The Friesians are so beautiful they make me want to cry.
After seeing Fonger 478 I can't wait to see Uniek's foal by him. I hope she has a safe pregnancy and delivery this year. After taking such good care of Rising Star she deserves to have a healthy baby of her own this year.
Very interesting! They are all so beautiful. I love their gaits and heads held high regally. But it is interesting to learn how they are judged. Thank you for sharing.
Stunning...definitely they seem to be trending towards a finer body build yet maintaining the quality/form of the Friesian .
Karen Beattie I don’t know so I am asking: are these mature horses or have they some growth left??
@@bho-lj1jk these are horses that have made it into the stud book registry... so they are mature stallions (to my understanding)
FITZIEBLUE thanks, but what age? Still some growth left?? Their bodies will be more muscular ? Or they are as full as they get?
@@bho-lj1jk They are in the 9 to 12 year range as stated in the beginning of the video.
Susan York thanks, I missed that.
Heck, I'd take any of them! Just simply beautiful!
I think I died and went to Heaven! Absolutely beauty in motion. Thank you so much!
Friesian stallions are so magnificent. My favourite movement is the extended trot, can not remember what you call it. Thank you for your explanation of the Friesian stallion form ❣️
You’re right, it’s called the extended trot. I love how it makes them look like they’re floating!
@@jessicas.6235 my part Arabian mare had a very beautiful extended trot, I would have to run full on to keep up, she always won a ribbon in the lead in class, mostly firsts and also seconds, her mane and forlock were so long and I had to trim her tail every couple of weeks to keep it off the ground. Friesian stallion's manes are amazing though, I have fallen so much in love with the Friesian horse breed, beautiful temperament.
Such beautiful animals, thanks so much for explaining this, some things I still didn’t quite understand but anyway. I enjoyed this so much.
I did learn a lot..thank you. They are such amazing animals, so stoic and regal. I love to watch them ...now I know more ways to be watching them😊👍 thank you.💗
Thank you so much for sharing this judging event and explaining as you did. There are plenty of "horse" terms I do not know, but, I think every one can see beauty when it trots in front of them.
Thank you so much for explaining how they are judged. I have watched many of these videos and wondered how they judge the stallions ,from what I see they are all stunning but I understand now and I agree that Jehannes was the best. ❤
This is fascinating! Thanks so much for explaining, Yvonne! I would love to see more videos about what they look for in mares and stallions!❤
I always learn so much from your videos! Beautiful horses.
Thank you! Wonderful tutorial. I love watching animals move. Judging is very similar in many dog breeds . Structure, form, function and gait. Especially in working or sporting dogs…
Magnificent line up!
And kudos to the handlers!!
I love the inspections. I was amazed at the length of that horses mane.
Beautiful. They move like kings.
Thank you for posting this, I knew these horses went through inspections, but I've never seen one or had anyone explain the criteria that they are judged by. Very cool.
Thankyou so much for posting this event. How lovely to see these horses, how else could I have ever seen something like this.... This the goodness of CZcams:). Very tricky to judge all these Black Beauties. What do you call the men in white who run with the stallions? In my head I just call the the 'white runners' but they must have a proper name. I have watched a number of horse shows like this and the way the 'white runners' handle the horse seems to make a BIG difference. I watched one from Dubai, judging pure bred Arabs and the white runners were very rough. Of cours there is a massive problem with over breeding Arabs now, they want the 'dish face' to be very pronounced and that is leading to dental problems. But I digress, the Fresian stallions were magnificent, maybe, maybe, one day....... Jonah Rein:).
I think they call them handlers....
All the stallions are stunning🐎..thank you for the information as they are inspected 🐎 it is very helpful for our learning💐🌷
I have a couple of questions. How can all the stallions be together & not fight/challenge? Maybe I read too much Black Stallion books?!
Are the characteristics more hereditary or from training-such as the way they trot with legs stretched out far, placed under the horse just right, or how they arch the neck?
In any case, these are the most beautiful horses I’ve ever laid eyes on! I couldn’t stop swooning!
It might be very different if a mare was around. But Friesians are generally a very cool breed, they don’t freak out as easy as other horses. I think these stallions are also raised very well, and the handlers are super experienced
This was so wonderful! Thank you so much for explaining so clearly!
I want one! I really, really, really want one. They are they most magnificent animals ever! Majestic. You are so lucky to be able to work with them and breed them. Such a life! Also, I love your videos. Thank you!!
Very Informative, and interesting too! I love learning new things about horses. Friesians are so beautiful 😍🤩😍
Just beautiful horses with an amazing gait
So much beauty in so small a time 💞....those handlers...they should enter the Olympics!!
I agree with the jury based on the little I know, but Epke somehow really caught my eye, he has something...
Nice explanation! I've gone when the Judge Panel comes to America, and it's so exciting, but I always have a pit in my stomach!
Excellent descriptions and explanations!!!!
They are just gorgeous!
I do love the Friesian horses!! Beautiful animals! ♥️♥️♥️
Wow, those horse handlers get a real work out! Beautiful horses....
Oh my, King Jaspera and Alwin's manes are so long! Only on your Stallions do they look so handsome! Perfection!!❤😊
Thank you so much for this information. I will now have a closer look at my boy to see how he compares.
this is an amazing video. thank you for all your effort to provide such value!
Thankyou for teaching all that you do its so interesting 😊 Lovnlight ❤😇🇨🇦
Quite amazing all the hinges to look for! I just see gorgeous horses! 😮
So, can we expect some Epke foals then? 😄😉
That was very interesting, thank you! They’re all so gorgeous, it really takes someone, to point out the little differences, to see them as an amateur.
Rara Avis, we think alike...While watching I wondered which of these beautiful stallions would sire foals for us to watch in 2021! Also wondering how they match the qualities of the stallions to the mares.
Janet Major
Yes, that would definitely make for an interesting video!
Maybe Epke....
Klake is sired by Epke 👍🏼
I try to explain the choices we make when breeding. But I have to think how I can make a video of that 🤔
What a great lesson, Yvonne! 😊
i was right in the 1st pick. i still have a great eye after all these years. go me! lol epke is absolutely gorgeous, but something just didn't do it for me on him. jehannes stole my breath. i wanted him the the second he moved out. did like fonger & jouwe also. had to rewatch to catch the names lol
Wonderful explanation thank you 😊. I have a suggestion for the handlers, they have a shoe out for humans called Kanga shoes, would help a lot during the trot session. People not get as tired
They are all so magnificent!!
This reminds me of a Sieger Dog show. Every aspect of the dog is judged against the standard. The judge actually comments on each area as he/she examines the dog.
Then the dogs are gaited around a large ring. The less quality dogs are removed first. And the last dog gaiting is the best.
Usually done with German Shepherd Dogs, Rottweilers and Dobermans.
Epke and Jehannes have both got it 👍 👌 🙌 it going on!!! Jehannes is a Rockstar!!! Really a strong 💪 👏 😳 showing!!!
To me they are all so beautiful they look the same! The judges must be able to see very minute details.
Oh...to me they are ALL GORGEOUS...the way they move, their lovely heads and hair, their trots(they prance)the neck when they are being in dressage...who can choose?... lol!
I LOVE the Stallions!!!!!!❤❤❤
Seriously, as far as favorites (it's hard to pick whose best) I liked Alwin 469! He had that "Yeah Baby! I 💘 💘 💘 love it! I know I'm "bad to the bone!"
Have watched this a few times & learned alot. Thank you!
this was a very good video....thank you for explaining how this all works...
Rewatching for Yvonne. Heal well.
Thank you very much Dear for the Effort you put into the Video, you really explained a lot... that was very interesting, i also noticed that they lost a bit of their heavy Barock looks, which i liked personally a lot... 😁😁😁
Greetings Dagmar ❤❤🤗🤗🤗
You did see right. The Friesian horse is a bit more sport/luxury as they were before.
So gorgeous and stately! I am in love!
THANK YOU
Breathtaking is right WOW
Thank you for this video. I am very interested in this and I was like what am I looking at, lol. It’s hard to judge in a videos on the finer points, unless you work a lot with horses. My eye isn’t as trained as most people here. I find your horses (with the exception of Johnny😉 to be pretty calm. Is that the breed or is it how your training them?
I would be honored to have any of these beauties 💖
These horses are just black beauties and are very special!!!
Can you see knights in armour riding these beauties into battle? Crushing their enemies underfoot and winning great victories?
Oh, the friesians are so... mighty!! 😍
Thank you for explaining this procedure.
