    This is such a critically endangered species since there are only about 3-400 pure bred ponies left in the world. It would be a tragedy to lose them entirely.

    You should get to ride the Finnish horse (Finnhorse), they are wonderful creatures and very versatile (used for farmworking, riding and trot racing)! Hope you get a chance soon! :)

    🐴 Have heard of the Eriskay some years ago, but I didn't know they were still around, but I'm so glad that they are. A really lovely native breed, and I can Imagine very hardy.

    It looks as is this Eriskay pony did indeed get into your mind, heart and soul! I would say though, having been around equines of all types, they all seem to quickly steal us over to their side :). Truly we are powerless to keep our love, admiration and minds away from them all... each and every one.

    Have you done Chincoteague Pony? They are my favorite breed, my best pony, Noah, is one and I’ve found they can do just about anything, along with the history from the mystery of how they arrived on Assateague island, to the pony penning, to of course the “Misty of Chincoteague” book, I’d love to see you cover the breed if you haven’t already!

    🐴 I'd heard of them b/c I have some great books about horse breeds.
    What was it like, riding in that eccentric saddle designed by an eccentric Englishman? Was it comfortable? Did it pinch? Feeling her muscles moving much more than in a conventional english saddle, and sooo much more than when you're perched waaaay on top in a western one must have been amazing!

      In 2019 I rode a Section C Welsh while I was in Cornwall. Here is the link to the episode: ua-cam.com/video/Ziqk0BNmUVU/v-deo.html 😊
      I would still love to film them in Wales at some point and show the differences between each of the types! They are such a fun breed!

    How do you afford this- This seems like such a beautiful way to live, but it'd also be extremely expensive I'm sure.
    These ponies seemed to be so nice and happy oml... Ngl, kinda want one if I ever get the money. They seem like an amazing breed to have

    For some reason, your videos often have long, obnoxious political ads from Republicans who screech against Paul Ryan, running to finish out term in the old NYS 19th congressional district, then also for the newly drawn NYS 18th district. Do you have any control over this?
