- Every day I am in doubt... Different advice... Still unsure... I share how it went and how it is going now.
I'm just showing how it really is....
I don't know anything more than this now. Time will tell.
@FriesianHorses
Welcome to my Friesian Horses channel.
My name is Yvonne. I create and post videos about my daily life with Friesian Horses. I will show you the true Friesian Horse and what they are like: day to day care, training, riding dressage and the very special birthing of foals. I explain the facts about breeding Friesian Horses and the steps I take to help better the breed.
You will learn that Friesian Horses have a naturally high gait, whether or not they can jump, if they are good for beginners and what they eat.
You will see them running, trotting, playing and even fighting.
I show you every aspect of my life with horses; the beautiful and the not so pretty. What you see in my videos is real!
Did you know that the Friesian Horse originates from Holland, specifically Friesland? That is where I live! I hope Friesian Horses will be love at first sight for you.

You can see that his coordination still isn’t 100% but he seems to otherwise be so happy and full of life. He still loves to play and jump and be active. You’ve given him a wonderful quality of life and we appreciate every day you give him, but we will also stand by you no matter what choice you may have to make in the future.
not me ✋ Please talk for yourself. I won‘t support decision to kill this beautiful creature.
@@agad8136 We can be sure that Yvonne will only make this decision if it's in his best interest. So you would not support this decision even if it means Risey suffers from pain or becomes dangerous? Please think about what you're saying 💜
@rala6061 but he's not in pain or dangerous yet! Yet! Why must we all let him go right now? It isn't time! You'd put an animal down just because of a diagnosis even if they are jumping around, happy, not in pain, not falling down? Think about what you are saying. We will support Yvonne when it happens...if it happens...but it's not time yet. Let us enjoy him while he's here and not close the book in the middle of the chapter, however short it may or may not be.
@@TheResinersPourHouseoh please don’t you think this is hard enough. It will be too late when something happens.
I agree! ❤.
Thank you all for the unconditional love and support you have given Yvonne since she started her journey with Rising Star.
You are a shoulder for her to lean on. From the bottom of my heart, I hope you will continue to do so as the journey continues❤️🧡
With gratitude, YvonneD, mod🌷
Sehr gerne 😊😊.
Auch unsere Yvonne braucht eine Schulter zum anlehnen.
An der Sie Trauern und Weinen kann😢😢.
Das Leben ist eine ständige Herausforderung/Prüfung
Thank you Yvonne, Please, please please don't ever see yourself as being unlucky. Ok , you have had some setbacks .
Don't despair Yvonne, you are so very respected and loved by many people all around the world and those wonderful friends and family immediately close to you.
You are showing the sometimes difficult and heartbreaking side of keeping horses. It isn't always sunshine and roses. Sometimes it is unbearably hard and sad. However you have been there for some of the most beautiful births of fillies and colts, who have gone on to become breathtakingly stunning mares and stallions.Your love and dedication to the horses and animals in your care is inspirational to us all.
I want to thank you for showing today's video.
Always ❤❤
❤️❤️❤️
❤❤❤❤ always ❤❤❤❤
If he is not in pain. Let him stay and enjoy the life he has.
As long as he isn’t in pain and can move around and walk without falling over or running into things, then I say give him all the time in the world. He is a beautiful horse and can be a wonderful pet he doesn’t have to be ridden. As long as he is happy that sounds like a good quality of life.
My sentiments exactly.
Hopefully Risey will progress further as he is better now. Acupuncture and massage may indeed help, and maybe growing bigger and developing stronger muscles in his neck. He is so energetic and happy, he is also nicely developping because of the love and care you give him. Fingers crossed and prayers for Risey to get better. We ara also so happy to see the filly of Uniek and Corella, what a nice achievement! ❤🐎🐎🐎Wishing you all rhe best, I hope Yvonne you are also better by now, may you have a blessed Easter! Love from Hungary! ❤️🔥

I Wish you all the best Luck 🍀,your Horse teaches playfully Game Chance 🍀❤🍀
Exactly. I had a wobbler. Never ridden. Did get cast once or twice. He was too affected to do surgery. He could gallop like the wind but he was clutzy. His spinal cord was pinched. No pain he had 22 years of being in our family. Good luck. I don’t. Know what’s wrong but since I had that experience thought I would share. 😊
It's amazing how impressive he is despite his ailment.
Right? I am always amazed at how gorgeous he is. Can only imagine it makes decisions harder.
how do see his progress now
@@greghammer5321 He's more sure-footed. Risey usually excels his feelings through his demeanor, so he likely knows he's getting better too by showing it to Yvonne and us. This horse just makes you not want to give up on him, I don't blame Yvonne for keeping hope. The March partition of the video gave me a glimmer of what Yvonne foresaw.
@@perce1veALL thank you for wonderful answer....you had a great way of saying he knows he is getting better and wanted to show Yvonne
He is stunning but also very, very sweet. I remember him laying on Yvonne's lap like it was yesterday. He seems quite happy and we all love him so much that it's only natural we want him with us for as long as possible. Yvonne, you have all our love and support!! @@birdsndog5819 ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
I don't think Risey is ready to give up and neither are you. He's still a growing boy and as you are are walking miracle, Risey has been one most of his life. He's got time if you do. Your heart is aching like crazy and you are so fearful. I don't blame you for your decision, no matter what. The mental anguish and pain you're suffering is horrible and you are still in recovery, yourself!! I can't tell you what a great woman you are and how I admire you and honor your decision, whatever it may be. God give you peace and complete healing and joy. An old woman herd member from Illinois.
Very well said ❤
Ditto. I got all the feels you so perfectly stated. Michigan, USA
❤❤❤
God bless you, Donna. As one old herd member to another. You have great wisdom.
I agree that Yvonne is the strongest, and she shall receive all of our support always. Love from Ohio ❤
I have a household of disabled animals. It never ceases to amaze me how well they adapt and accept their way of life.I love Rising Star and have watched him from the beginning please don’t give up on him.
Definitely…!!! ♥️🐴♥️🫶🏼🇨🇦
Si adattano anche loro con i problemi ....come NOI
If he’s not in pain let him enjoy his life
He looks even happier after being gelded, the sound of him snorting/purring is heavenly.
Risey really does purr! I love him so much! ❤❤❤
It is. And I love the sound of any of the horses chewing. For some reason that seems so contented to me.
In tears here. He deserves more time, he's happy in the meadow and the stable, does not appear to be in any pain. So glad you're waiting Yvonne.
Was anyone else impressed with how Risey behaved perfectly for Yvonne? Lots of scary things happened to him during that trip and he handled it like the Prince that we know him to be. Thank you, Yvonne, for continuing to give all of us the gift of time. We trust your decision, whatever it has to be, when it has to be. Still watching from Texas.
*** Stop saying you are unlucky. You survived and lived after your accident!!! That is lucky to say the least. Rising Star's story is not over. How lucky was he to have found Queen Uniek at the exact time his mom died when he was born?? That wasn't for nothing. He may never be ridden. Fine. But he's happy and healthy otherwise. He can be a therapy horse, not to ride of course, but to bring smiles to children who are handicapped. There may be children out there who can bond with him because they can relate to him. Please, open your eyes and broaded your perspective. Look into sharing his story with children who need to hear it!
Shout out to Anne and Stall Okkema for your help transporting Risey and Yvonne. Thank you! 💖
❤❤
Yes many thanks for providing the truck to Rising Star!
Thank you!!
Really nice that the stals help each other
Stahl Okkema was featured in the Friesian episode of Discoverthehorse!
At the present time, Risey looks so much better! I know he is not completely perfect, and may not get better than this, but he is a beautiful, sweet boy and I’m so glad you didn’t put him down, Yvonne. 💕🇨🇦
He can’t be what he is driven to be and he’s isolated from his friends 😢
@@dinahbrown902 Still looks like a happy colt though.
@@piggylover4808 I know and a beautiful one at that but you know the longer you put off what seems to be the inevitable the harder it will be.😢
@@dinahbrown902At the end of the video, it looked to me that Risey has improved in walking and running.
@@dianebannister4591better than recent video I agree
Yvonne, you fill his days with so much love. When it’s the right time, you’ll make the right choice for him.
That is what I was going to say ❤
Beautiful Rising Star! 🌟 It's wonderful to see him run. 😊 Miracles happen everyday. I'll continue to pray for him. 🙏
Me, too!!!
I hope he lives a full, healthy life. He doesn't look like he's ready to go.
I just cried at the end of this video. He looks much better than 4month ago. A lot of story would be there. I'm wait for them and thank you, Yvonne!! Also give Risey a big hug instead of me!!
Yes. Agree with that. He seems to been much stronger. ..
His coordination looks better and I hope with more time he will improve further. He has youth on his side right now. Whatever the outcome Yvonne, you have given him the best life possible and have gone above and beyond for him. Whatever you decide we know it's in Rising Star's best interests and you did all you could for him. We love you no matter what Yvonne 😘🤗❤ I adore Risey as we all do and hopefully time can heal him ❤❤❤
Risey will let you know when he's ready, whatever that may be. He's a beauty and your care and affection for him have been stellar Yvonne. ❤
Risey is a clever horse, we have worked out how to adapt to physical difficulties, and Risey will realise that there are some things he should do differently. If he hs not in pain and loving life which he is, he deserves time. Wrap his legs in protection when he is on his own to prevent injuries, much love to you Yvone, feeling your pain
Oh ! Now there's an idea 💡 😮 I hadn't thought of till now! 👍 I think I've seen race horses with those covers on their legs? ❤🐴
I was also thinking those letter-ones to protect him, but the old injury needs air, so maybe little later. I guess Yvonne was thinking so.
Leather😂 I was writing but this phone was thinking that maybe ✉️ will do the job. But I still do understand Yvonne thinking to put RS to forever sleep. This lovely boy is also a mild risk for her and to her family. So, everyone will understand if she eventually does so. Of course we all will 😢😢 then. But let's hope Risey will become better. ❤
I agree that he will likely adapt and compensate for his disability. After seeing him covorting in the arena, I think he already has developed a lot of coping with balance and managing his weight. Hopefully this does not put added stress onto his front legs, but with monitoring his activity, as Yvonne does, I think she's okay to play it one day at a time. I wish them the best!❤
😁😁😁
Liebe Yvonne,

Egal wie diese ausfallen wird, Wir deine Follower werden in jeder Hinsicht hinter Dir stehen und Dich wo es nur geht unterstützen.
Lass den Kopf nicht hängen.
Die Zeit wird zeigen, welche Entscheidungen zu treffen sind.
Du schaffst das👍👍.
Liebe Grüße aus Dortmund

Tausend Dank, liebe Janine und du hast soooo Recht! 💜
very kind of you Janine .....as always
I hope this is translated correctly!
Genau! Die Herde ist bei dir, Yvonne.
Thank you for your friendship, Janine❤️🌷
❤ very sweet!
Rising Star has been my favorite ever since you fostered him as an orphan foal. Praying he still has time to enjoy life.🙏 God bless you all.
Yvonne we love and care about you more than you will ever know. i see a happy Risey, tail flagged, prancing. We trust that you will know when his Quality of life is at the end.
♥💕♥💞♥💕♥💞♥💕♥💞💕♥💞♥💕♥💞♥💕♥💞
Very kind of you
Thank you so much❤️🌷
🧡🧡
Thank you!
As amazing and strong Yvonne says, "Perfect".
I could not have said it better.
Risey is looking so well and happy in the arena, I think by giving him time is the best at the moment and any hard decisions can be made in the future if needed. Bless you Yvonne my heart breaks for you.😢😢😢
I hope his story don't end yet😢
I hope it doesn't either..
Me too!@@elainebernier
I am watching this after Uniek has passed. It’s so so sad to see her standing there.😢 RIP Uniek you will forever be missed🕊️🕊️
I'm so glad she got a foal from her. Not a replacement by any means, but a legacy to go forward with. I hope Belle turns out just like her wonderful mother Uniek.
@tanner4ever same here. Beautiful, sweet Uniek is gone😢. I’m so glad she saw her beautiful baby Belle. And Rising Star is handsome.
Same here. Just horrible. Let him live while he still has quality of life, plz
Her spirit stands by him. THE QUEEN looks after her Rising Star Always. ❤
That little black dot on Risey is a piece of Uniek that she marked him as her’s ❤ How happy Risey looks and acts, not knowing what is going on with his body. Watching this for a second time , because I cannot get enough of Risey ❤
Thank you for the update Yvonne. Good decision four months ago, he’s still enjoying life. 🤗
Watching Yvonne cry was very hard to watch, my heart breaks for her. The positive thing is Risey prancing and being beautiful right now was wonderful to watch.
We know Yvonne will do what’s best for all concerned when the time comes, she loves her animal family
We stand with you Yvonne 🥰👌🫶❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🐎
We, your herd, will support you in whatever you decide to do on Risey's behalf, Yvonne. As you continue to take steps to see to his health, please don't neglect your own. The emotional stress and physical (and financial) burden of caring for an injured/sick animal can be overwhelming. Thoughts and prayers for you and Risey.
Thank you for this update. Once an animal is dead, they for sure can never get better. As long as they are not suffering and can enjoy life, they deserve the chance to live. Risey looks so happy being in the arena just running around like an adorable puppy. I hope we get to see him happy and content for many years to come!
One reason I love watching these videos, is because you are 100% honest about what is going on. We all know this extremely hard for you and your family. I'm sure every night you go to bed, you are thinking of Risey!! Yoour love and compassion is truly a gift to have❤
OH MY GOODNESS!! What a difference, and it's almost like he knows he's getting better. Seeing him running with his tail held high, jumping and kicking in the air broke me down in tears, tears of joy though
Yvonne, We love and support you and any decisions you make because we all know it is truly what is Best!!❤
❤❤❤
I started crying so hard at the end of video and saw how much better Risey is. Tears of joy. Don't give up on your boy !
Me too. Praying 🙏🏼 for you and Risey.
Expecting continued improvement.
To God be the glory great things he has done.
I grew up with horses, Quarter Horses and show jumpers. Hand raised a foal whose mother died 24 hours after giving birth from the same condition that took Ziffora (Risey's mother). Horses are such brave, beautiful animals but I left that world long ago in part due to the many heartbreaks I witnessed with my own.
Yvonne, whatever happens, please know that you have wisely given him the gift of time, and that's all you can do. You can only make the decision to put him to sleep once, but the decision of time is a gift you can give over and over until he tells you it is enough, and believe me you will know if that day comes.
I appreciate your sharing all his journey and yours with us. All the best, with love from Colorado, USA
That is why he is called "Rising star"! He hasnt risen to his great heights, yet. You will see! You Yvonne are a miracle. Good things are coming- just wait and see! ⭐️🐎🌹😊💕🌻
I think the most important thing is to watch the quality of life for an animal. With a stiff neck he's not going to be happy.. He can't scratch, he can't communicate with other horses properly, he would have a very hard time laying down and getting up, his back is going to suffer because his neck won't be able to move etc. So the fact that you didn't choose that option is a good thing in my eyes. Quality of life for a horse means being able to walk outside, lay down in a dry and safe place when he's tired, being able to get up, getting food, care and love, being able to have interaction with other horses etc without being in a level of pain that will make him uncomfortable. Right now he definitely has real quality of life left. It's exactly like you said.. You can always put him to sleep later.. If he gets worse or is in to much pain and looses quality of life.. You've got the space to keep him safe and happy while you wait to see how this will unfold with time..
Thank you for explaining more about the implications of the vertebral fusion. I didn’t fully appreciate the impact it would have on his quality of life.
Hugs and love to you.
I had a boxer dog who got hit by a car .Her name was Springs . I named her that because from a stand still she could spring up as high as my face ...I am 5ft.7inches tall ....After she was hit she could not place her back feet .I was as if she lost function .When she tried her back feet would knuckle over ...We took her to a vet that said he could take her to a university hospital for surgery on her spine .No guarantee she would ever walk again ...I sat and cried along with my family ,I had four small children ,but she was our number five child .We could not afford the surgery .So I took her to another Vet . This wonderful man said lets try a steroid regemin and time with rest ....little by little she got back all feeling . She was happy . Wagged her backside when she greeted people .She ran and even jumped ..She could not do the spring move as high off the ground any more ,that gave her the name Springs .But every thing else she was back to her old self ... She lived to old age for a boxer dog .We had MANY happy years . And she never suffered any pain that we could tell ....Pray and give things time ....Time is all we have with our loved ones ......
I've had a spine concussion from blunt trauma and so has my dog. The function does improve considerably, but it takes a long time (years). This is a young animal with lots of neuro-regenerative potential. Way too early to kill. Some (too many) vets are overzealous thinking death is a better alternative than life with some limitations. It's not.
Stop with the references to kill. I do hope the owner is not contemplating this. Poor horse 😢
Poor Risey heart breaking for Yvonne sending prayers and love ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🌈
I always remember Risey whinnying to Yvonne in the paddock at Stal G when he was a foal. Risey trusted Yvonne to look after him. Our gorgeous boy. Risey has been an absolute joy and delight in our lives.
Yvonne you are not unlucky. You have challenges in your life. Risey was a miracle that brought so much love into your life. Your recovery is a miracle. You have a loving husband, children, friends, and viewers. Grandmother’s rule “Trouble Cheats No One” Whatever your decision with Risey, it will be best as it will be made with love.
Oh Yvonne, time is a great healer. Risey is a shining star and will shine bright for you. Know that we are all thinking of you right now and will hold you, and Risey, in our hearts.
I'm no horse expert but Risey looks more confident and stable on his legs than at the beginning
His coloring is just beautiful. The mane always changes with the light. He's a happy horse.
He looks like a happy horse.
He's still very much the most vocal horse at Stal H despite being gelded, that's good to see and you are right, definitely a huge improvement compared to the videos in the past. He's jumping effortlessly.
Keep fighting Risey. Our prayers are for you and your family Yvonne. The right thing must be done for the best life of the horse. Your struggle has been so hard Yvonne. We know you will decide what is best for Rising Star.
Bad luck? We can only go forward. My story is similar. Health declining for three years now. How can we give up? Risey has time. You will know what to do. He is content, he is safe. I am sure Rising Star will let you know what he needs as he can. Blessings for you and your people. Take care of yourself and Rising Star. ❤️❤️
Oh our hearts break for you, Yvonne. I started following the herd right when you first got Risey, and I think we are all crying with you.
Yes! Yes! "Give him time" is a very wise choice! He looks so happy and is not suffering in any way. My heart reaches out to you Yvonne, you are so kind and loving and are doing everything you can for Risey. 😍😍🤩🤩😇😇
Risey looks happy and healthy and he doesn't appear to be in pain despite his ailment. He can survive this with lots of TIME and TLC.😍😍
I cried watching this. I will keep Rising Star, and you, in my prayers. He's such a beautiful horse.
Wow I feel like I can see improvement in 4 months! Praying that time heals him more!
One of the many things I admire about you, Yvonne, is that you keep your channel real. Owning horses is filled with joy and difficulties, and you always manage them so gracefully. The moderators and the herd will always have your back!
❤❤❤
💜💜💜
Yes ❤️
❤️❤️🌷
❤❤❤
Yvonne has done so much research on this since August, and she sees Risey everyday and has all the information given to her by several different vets. It is very difficult for her to be able to communicate all of that information to us. I trust her decisions completely. She will do what Risey tells her to do. She will know what he needs. 🧡🧡🤗🤗🥰🥰🤗🤗🧡🧡
We can be sure about that! 💜
Absolutely.
❤❤
❤❤❤
Ja, absolut, die beiden haben eine gemeinsame Sprache gefunden,
sie werde daher m. E., auch den für sie beide gangbaren Weg finden.
I will support whatever decision you come to Yvonne. I love Rising star but I know what can happen with wobblers and other neuromuscular horse diseases and he might be fine just until he isn’t and then he could be panicking because he can’t control his legs and then incur a much worse injury causing him a lot of pain and much fear. It’s a horrible decision to have to make to euthanize an animal you love but it’s just the price we all pay for loving our animals. None of us wants Risey to suffer so you make the best decision for you and Risey and the rest of us will support you in this.
Love and hope are very powerful !!! You give Risey such wonderful love and care. He is happy. I believe the angels sent him to you because of how big your heart is and because you're an incredible woman. You are not unlucky and neither is Risey. Your stories have not been written yet. ❤❤❤❤
Prayers for Risey and you, Yvonne. ❤🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🐴
Never ever give up...i don't know how many times ive been told this is it. But I've fought and I'm still here yes not exactly perfect but ive survived. Risey will do the same surrounded by the love you give him, the care...he knows and he will get better.x
Me too. I broke 4 vertebrates in my back and was supposed to be crippled. I can now walk to my natural park. So God does heal is in miraculous ways.
If it were me, I would keep him as long as he's not suffering pain or falling down and is getting enjoyment from life. Those are the important things. He doesn't know anything is wrong with him, so he can still be happy. He's certainly enjoying his food! Agree with you about the surgery - I wouldn't do it - and no one can guarantee he won't get a little better. This is so terrible for this sweet, beautiful guy and for you. Edit: Look at him 4 months later! Yes, his legs are wonky but look at the joy he feels! I'm so glad you waited. I just read about Uniek. So much sorrow.😢
I STILL LOVE YOU RISEY!!!🩵🐴🩵🐎🩵💋🥰😍😘🐎🐴 AND I'M SAD 😭💔❤️🩹❣️ AND BROKEN HEARTED OVER THE LOSS OF YOUR MOMMA, QUEEN UNIEK!!! BE BRAVE MY LOVE!!!💜🐎💜🐴💜 GOD IS WITH YOU!!!🤓🫶🏽🙋🏽🔥🙏🏽👑✝️📖🔥🕊️
Risey is no worse than he was and looks happy with the marvellous life that you give him. Time is your gift to that beautiful horse .
Yvonne count all the many blessings that you do have and keep that lovely smile on your face. ❤
Please give Risy every chance you can. He is so lovable and has added a lot to your channel.
So many people all around the world are hoping and praying for Rising Star to get better. He looks so joyous in the last bit of video! That's very good to see.
I watch your horses because I care about them. I don’t need a cliff hanger of a title to entice me to watch your videos. I watch because I care about your horses and I enjoy seeing them.
I almost didn't watch because I figured it wasn't really the end when it says or is it. I feel so bad for the situation but I hate clickbait.
Dear Yvonne, I have no words. Risey always looks so happy. I hope that time will help him. In the mean time he is enjoying himself. All we can all do is hope and pray x
13:32 Yvonne sending much love for you both and praying for you on this journey 🥰. We are supporting you what ever your decision xxxxx
Bottom line Yvonne is we love you, we trust you, and we respect you. We grieve when you grieve, we rejoice when you rejoice, and we celebrate everything about life when you celebrate. Our “comments” are only that - comments. Wish we could give you a giant hug filled with love! ❤️❤️❤️
Oh yes! So many times wished that to be able to give her an hug! 😊💞🌞
Well said and I'm in total agreement ❤
He's grown into such a happy and handsome boy and deserves so much! His moms are resilient, and he is, too.
Animals don't need any human explanation. They know. He'll let you know when it's time. For now, he's demonstrating he's feeling great regardless of his issue. Animals are very resilient, and adjust well to their new lifestyle.
yvonne's eyes says it all
Ja.
Die Traurigkeit und Verzweiflung sieht man Ihr an😢😢
Exactly. I watched this the first time early this morning when it dropped, and I literally didn’t know what to say because words are so inadequate. Yvonne is our miracle and real Herdies are what in the US is called “Ride or Die” we will ALWAYS have her back in whatever she chooses. I remain grateful that she and Bauke choose to continue to show us real life.
💔💔😢…Will always be here to support Yvonne❤
They really do! Happy Birthday Sweetheart 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈 🎁 🎊
Gone from being very sad to happiness with this video. Risey looked so joyful in the arena at the end. Send healing thoughts everyday for him to get better. A big thank you to Anne from Stal Okemma for transport to vets. Whatever you decide Yvonne I know it will be for the best and have everyone's support. 💕😍🐎🇬🇧
Risey, loves that forlocking brushed, lol! He is so beautiful.❤✌️
He knows he is loved!
💔 Yvonne, you're faced with one of the most heartbreaking decisions a horse owner ever has to make. It isn't bad luck, it's part of raising and loving horses. They can break our hearts.Thank you for your brave video sharing your grief and love for this sweet, beautiful horse. When the time comes to say goodbye to Risey, it won't be because you've given up, but because you can see he no longer has the quality of life he deserves. I know you wouldn't want to see him suffer. You are giving him the best possible care and have left no stone unturned pursuing his treatment. We all share your grief. We love you and the sweet RS. 💔♥️
Thanks to Anne Okkema and Martine for their kindness in taking Yvonne and Risey to the clinic. Very generous of them!
❤❤
The Okkema family are like royalty in the world of Friesian horse breeders and trainers. It’s awesome that they help out smaller breeders like Yvonne with favors like a slant load trailer.
I think we're all here for the bad times as well as the good. I know you will do the best you can for Risey and all the horses and ponies.
He looks even more beautiful in the updated video and moves more smoothly. He's a happy confident horse😊❤
Risey is such a hansom guy it is hard to realize that he is ill.
So true he is a beauty.
In my humble opinion, I do think Risey deserves to be kept alive even with his condition. He may never be fully recovered, but he isn't in severe pain, that we know of, he can move, he can have a little social time with a pasture buddy in the future when he accepts leg guards and isn't as intense... He can live a good life. I'm sure the treatments cost some big money, and if it ever becomes an economical burden, I do understand. But there's a whole community here who will donate to the cause. There's hope yet. This little guy is a strong spirit, he keeps on living.
This is exactly my thought as well. As log as he's not in pain or suffering he deserves to live, even if he's not 100% recovered. And I think he walks better than he did, so a bit of time may help even more.
This was tough to watch, so hard to see Yvonne at her breaking point. Risey seems happy and not in pain. He has his herd, gets outside, can be a bit playful, and still loves to eat. He still has some life to live from my vantage point. Yvonne is the only one who can make the decision about his future, and she will do the right thing at the right time. And she will…….🥰❤️🥲.
What a beautiful, stunning horse he is. I will pray for his health and well-being. 🧡🌟💫
Miracles do happen.. signed Risey❤❤❤❤❤ I will just believe in that and pray for you and Risey❤❤❤❤❤
Amen and I agree with you! ❤❤❤
Amen. With God ALL things are possible, if we believe.
We know Yvonne will make the right decision in the end-a compassionate, loving & realistic decision. And we will help support her just like after the accident. Love & hugs from Houston 💖
You are awesome MoogieB. Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
Yvonne ... you and your horses have given us so much inspiration
Thank you
❤️ to Risey
You are a realist. Your love for your animals run deep as it should be after all they are an extension of family in a way. You will know when it is time if you have any doubt then a little longer is the answer.
Time is helping, and not all horses have to be ridden! He could remain a companion horse, you could learn to do liberty training with him (like those tricks you saw in the show) to keep his mind busy. As long as he’s not in pain, or danger, he still has a life to live 🥰
Yvonne, I am so sorry to hear this sad news about Risey. When and if it is time, I think Risey will let you know. My heart aches for you and Rising Star. Big virtual hug for both of you. ♥💫🤗
As another down to earth person, I would say that if Risey isn't suffering and is content, (he seems happy) then taking the final step isn't necessary. You'll know when he's uncomfortable and it's the right time for that. You are correct to consult with other Veterinary experts! New ideas and possible treatments pop up. As long as he's comfortable, that's the main thing! 🙏🙏🙏
I'm hoping that he will make a full recovery! 🙏 i realize that this is not probable, but i will continue to send off good vibes for Risey and you Yvonne!
I have never went from tears of sadness, to tears of joy, so fast in my life! You're doing such a great job with him!! Sending you love and prayers ❤️
same!
Yvonne I know that this is one of the hardest situations to deal with and I wish there was something I could do to wave a magic wand and make it all go away just know that we love you and we are here no matter what you’ll always do what’s right for your animals,we’ve got your back. NO NEGATIVE COMMENTS they will not be tolerated MOD Shannon.🔥🐎👑🤍🧡
Glad you didn’t automatically put him down. It’s like having a disabled child, as long as he’s not in pain let him live his best life!😊
I know it is heart breaking for you. It is also heartbreaking for those who have followed him from the beginning. We love him. It brings tears to my eyes. Always remember you are a miracle and miracles still can’t happen. Love you, the family and all the horses. God be with you and give you strength
Was 4 months later after more acupuncture? Whatever it was, he looks better. I, like everyone here, hope Risey continues to improve.
I definitely see him better now 4 months later!❤
Dear Yvonne, Life can be difficult and we have shared your journey with much love. I know it will very sad for you and all of us but it will be a kindness for Risey to protect him from future suffering. Know that you have our support and love ❤️ Sue
Always praying for a miracle for Risey and you. It is such a beautiful story and always will be. It warms my heart, I just wished it had a happier outcome ❤️❤️❤️
Risey will give you a sign, and your heart will know. Sending you hugs and good thoughts. ❤❤❤🐎🐴🐎
4 months and Risey is kicking both feet! Time was good for him.
Everyone that pray for Yvonne to heal from that fall, need to pray for Risey now too, and like Yvonne he too can make full recovery with the power of our prays, God bless you Yvonne and God bless Risey and keep him free from harm xxx Love you Risey xxx
