I follow a dairy farmer on Facebook and his herd is pretty laid back. He moves easily among the cows. They have lots of daily human contact compared to cattle (beef) grazing in fields. So living conditions contribute a lot to their behavior. A rider would definitely want to be alert in a field of grazing animals.....cows, sheep, etc.
Remember that cattle breeds that are used for meat can usually be more aggressive than dairy cattle. Dairy cattle get used to people and are a lot friendlier, but farmers don't usually "give that affection" to beef cattle. Our stable used to have beef cattle. In the back and front of the stables were the stalls and in the middle was the cattle (divided by walls at the both end and you had to walk among the cattle on the walkway to the back stable). We could basically just push the cows with our elbows and hands, but we only did it because the cattle was friendly enough.
Tara there is a video on youtube (in England) of two riders going through these open spaces and gates like you do and they encounter a stallion that attacks them relentlessly as they are making their way to the next gate. I've never seen anything like it and their horses handled it brilliantly and they weren't injured but they could have been. It was so scary to watch but interesting to see how they get through it. Your video made me think of that one. Glad you're ok and careful and Apollo and Farouk understand what's going on and calm and unafraid 💜💐💕🐴
That 15 min video went awful fast- twas the anxiety of the cattle (last one was a biggun)! I wonder why that fellow bothered to send you that way, didn't keep you from the cows... that's why it's always an "adventure" going out on these rides :) Where there's a will (and your will Tara is not to be made light of!) there's a way. I have no doubt you will find a way to remount Farouk :) Good on Steve (!) for finding a way to reach Apollo from so far off! Quite a gymnastic move there! Apollo was surprisingly stubborn about getting up to the wood flatbed. I did see he and Farouk tough noses there in sympatico and possible rebellion beforehand... (an adorable moment). When we lived on our farm in KS, the farmer across the road asked if he could continue to bring his cattle through our land to his pastures (he had for years from the previous owner) of course we didn't mind. Then we got our horses, and the cows calved, and our dog kept finding the babies while we were out riding, and momma cows would come after us like mad bulls. Would not want to be walking through those fields (on foot) though, we love cows, but they can kick sideways... Can't wait for the next installment!
I am impressed with your gymnastics getting the first gate open! That was quite a steep ascent after the gentleman opened the gate for you. There is never a dull moment on these rides. The cows were not impressed with you coming into their pasture … lots of little ones to protect. They weren't very scared at your rock throwing either. That flat bed was not the same as your mounting stool … even Apollo was not wanting much to do with it. I felt frustrated for you, but you handled it so well, as always, staying cool and being patient. I hope you didn't have to walk home! Can't wait to find out.
THAT'S the "alerternatve" route?! Suuuuure, just go up this giant steep hill through a massive pile of manure blocking the path into the cow vortex from hell. That guy was nuts to tell you to go that way with no warning. How scary!!! When I heard that terrifying moo (and I was previously unaware that there were in fact moos that were terrifying) ☺️ I was so glad you were through the gate! Great job with keeping those cows at bay and yes great job Farouk did with the repeat gate visit. Amazing! So excited for tomorrow's episode! ☺ 💕 You totally rock by the way! Bravery medals for you all!! 🥉 🥉 🥉 🥉
Those cows look like they were guarden their young ones. Farouk and Apollo did a fantastic job getting pass those cows. Well done Apollo and Farouk 👏👏👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The other half and I had to walk through a field of young bullocks . Very curious creatures. The other half. Walked behind me whilst I was waving my arms and pointing to where I wanted them to go. A clap always works. Well done both Apollo and Farouk.
I love seeing Farouk’s silhouette as you ride. Arabians heads are so beautifully shaped. I love how they hold up their tails as they prance, too. I’ve said it before😉...you own my two favorite breeds🖤🧡, and I soooo enjoy my window to your world. Thank you MsTara🥰!
The cows 🐮 🐄 are wondering who these strange creatures were or the cows wanted to come along for the ride.😁😊😉. Lived on a farm when I was child we had sheep 🐑 & cows 🐄 I loved it. My grandparents only lived down the road. Farouk the birthday horse 🐴 has come along way with gates. Well done Farouk 🥕🥕🥕. Interesting 🧐 day for riding, lovely scenery of the countryside.
You can tell how long a farm had been in a family by the number of legends which accumulate. Our family legend is the story of my 10 year old mother, who was out gathering wild blueberries, getting too close to a newborn calf its mother had hidden in the blueberry bushes. The mother cow took extreme umbrage and was chasing her across the cow pasture while my uncles, only 11 or 12 years old and scared themselves, stood watching as my 5'00" tall grandmother, who was raised on the Odanak Native American Reservation in Quebec, charged the cow, swinging a big cast iron frying pan to defend her daughter. The family legend passed down to all the grandchildren is that our Nana scared the mother cow so badly the milk cow ran in the opposite direction, taking her calf with her! Both uncles and my mother repeated the same story for many years, down to their great-grandchildren, so apparently the legend is true! First, great idea to use the hay rick as a mounting block [even if the boys weren't being as cooperative as they should have been]. Second, did I hear you create new words for the English language? "Spooklings" and "Spookles?" Highly appropriate terms! Between the normal contrary nature of that gate, and the sound of the wind blowing against opening it, Farouk actually did quite well. I am very glad I never had to deal with gates like those! Regardless, neither Apollo nor Farouk have any ambition to be cowhorses!
I know I could move through my own cattle but if anyone else were to do it they might get agressive. I did tonight, we had a stillborn and the herd was upset. But we were calm and didn't have a nervous horse along
Oh Tara..I had no idea how hard it is to get back on after dismounting! What a shame it spoils your ride..I guess Murphies Law abides in the UK as well as here. Thank goodness the boys stayed pretty calm with the cows. Thanks for sharing, always a pleasure, have a wonderful day!
Well you can get on a horse without a block but it requires a lot of strength to pull yourself up and over, a horse that allows it and you have to be light to not hurt the horse while heavily pulling on its back to pull yourself up. It's better to have a mounting block.
Hi Tara, you really know how to keep the suspence.....😂😂😂 suddenly Boltby seems to consist only of gates....😳 very exhausting, but a very nice place to live...the cows were hoping you left the gate Open for a new field... Take care Dagmar ❤❤❤❤
...and Farouk is not fazed by that gate! Perhaps the heifers had heard about the UA-cam stars, Apollo and Farouk and wanted a closer look? I held my breadth until you went through the second gate. I recommend your videos to friends who need fun and positive images to combat their sheltering in place blues.
Yes wow what An experience for ya'll there I didn't know that cow's could do that, or be like that I always thought that cow's were soso..unless they had a baby calf with the them..Farouk did very well there wow msn I'd say apollo and Steve are awesome..💕🐴🎶🐎
Well. Farouk handled that gate so much better....good for him! Cows can be rather dicey to ride through. It’s a good thing you had some rocks handy to toss at them. Monkey see, monkey do, I believe......!
Maybe the farmer sent you that way bec the second lot of cows weren't his??!! Otherwise dont make sense as u say Tara! Apollo's beautiful shiny coat on close-ups. Apollo and Farouk's mutual touching of noses, well, touching & gorgeous! 💜💜💜💜
Well where's the sense it that hadn't he heard of electric fencing? And they were being strong willed and stubborn not moving away because of having calf's. Ooh Apollo being worried of a flat bed trailer because Farouk doesn't like it ,does it remind him of a bridge? Stunning scenery with the sun on it sad to say we need some rain we haven't had any rain for a month now and the soil is like a desert. I thought we were going to get a bit of a shower on Sunday but the wind blew it over before it could even build up over the neighbourhood . My bulbs I planted need some soon otherwise they will just shrivel and not poke themselves out of the ground. Hope the boys enjoy their fresh carrots on Farouk's birthday .🐎🐴
I didn't know that cows are so dangerous! How scary! Apollo and Farouk behaved very well🥕🥕 I'm very happy to tell you that today I got on the horse for the first time in my life😊 It is a Fjord mare and her name is Gloria. I already love her! Tsf Tara🖤
Well that was a bit of a strange detour, not very clear where to go, although I noted the gate you came out of had a sign on it, so did you by any chance perhaps come out the wrong gate? Of course the sign might just have been telling people to be careful or something else entirely lol. Good job your horses are good with cattle and good to lead 👍 and I’m always cautious around cows, particularly with calves and also bullocks, got chased by a herd of them whilst out walking once 😲 I’m going to stick my neck out and say that you might have struggled to climb up on the flatbed, whilst holding Farouk, so may have found an alternative place to mount, but I bet you’re going to prove me wrong 🤣
I raised angus for a bit and they’re really not nice at all. So that was a nail biter!! And wow Farouk learns well!! So many experiences!! Once again a really fun video. Thanks so much. Hope you’re all well and happy and that re-opening is going well and smoothly and of course the Britts are behaving much better than the few needy idiots getting all the attention here in the States. TTFN 👋
What good horses, what improvement in Farouk, amazing what you have been able to do with patience and firm kindness recognising when it’s something new or Farouk trying to get out of something, I haven’t seen Farouk up close to a trailer and he
Well, that was exciting! All those acres and the cows had to be right by the gates... go figure! Glad you made it through there without any issues. Now to get back on! 😁
...that was wonderful...as I've gotten older, I knew mounting up would require some help...lol...thank you for sharing!!!! These lovely videos bring sanity into my world...[] With Love
Hi Tara, I've never heard of heifer attacking but they can mob when they are curious and get very frisky and playful which can be mistaken for aggression...usually they are more afraid of you and horses :) Not nice being afraid or feeling threatened, however.
@@maeneisler2313 Thanks, but because I live on a very large dairy farm (over 500 acres) where we milk and raise dairy cows as a full time living and also raise a beef herd, I am speaking from years of experience. Also, your horses are a fairly good indicator if there is something to be afraid of, and both Apollo and Farouk showed very little concern.
In NZ you don't have public footpaths or bridleways so you're heifers or cows probably only see people they know. I can tell you that Steve and I were attacked by heifers on a walk and we didn't have a dog with us and they would have run us down, if Steve had not hit one on the head with his rucksack which gave us chance to get to the stile.
Wow that is aggressive isn't it? No, we don't have bridleways you're right and the cows we need to be careful of are the cows that have given recent birth with extremely young calves at foot as their mothers and can be fiercely protective and are even worse than bulls, of course, bulls to are very dangerous and you never turn your back on them. The cows you were moving through at the time, were not aggressive but being very curious only and if they had been aggressive both Farouk and Apollo would have been highly agitated and probably kicked out. I certainly have learned a lot about English cows and herds today for sure. Perhaps in the UK cows have become aggressive because people teach them to be wary of humans?
Never used to bother about cows in the way on our walks, l'd merrily wave my arms at them & off they'd go ! Come across far too many that won't budge nowadays & l've decided not to go in a field if there's cattle in. Not as brave nowadays!!! Farouk did really well on his second time at the awkward gate, he really has come on in leaps & bounds !!
did you notice how these cows stood their ground..although they seemed more curious than anything else..they were definitely giving the humans and horses within their territory a long think. Fortunately, they were through the fence and safe before the cows could come to consensus about what to do.
I love your videos and your horses are beautiful. I love the way you treat them. Can you answer a question? When you're riding, what is the horses job and what is your job while on the horse?
I know. I was just asking when you ride what is the horses job? And what is your job as a rider? I'm not very experienced and I need some help in a few areas. Thank you for replying.
HI, Never seems fair to me , that when out walking or horse riding you come across a threat on your journey. These Public Footpaths and Bridleways are public land and you should be able to journey across them without interference. I think all public paths on Private Land should be made safe for the user. I myself are a "Hiker" and often come across these situations, you have to continue forward somehow as after walking 6 miles for example you cannot turn round and re trace your steps, much too far. All fellow Hikers/Horse Riders ask for , are good clear signs and safe to continue forward, we take great care in closing gates etc We don't want to cause any unnecessary damage to the Private Area's we just want to quickly pass through. This type of situation can spoil a lovely outing, it is such a shame. Glad you all got past the livestock safely and enjoyed your ride so far, hope you don't encounter anymore on your journey home. As always...Thank You for a Great Video..Bye for Now ! xx
In Pacific NW USA we have few public bridleways. Most trails must be shared with hikers, cyclist off-road 4 wheelers. I was surprised how often some group argued another sh/be banned from using a trail. Shared use was never willingly done.
@@1942rita Hi, Thank You for the reply. The trails at your end seem to be very busy with many varied outdoor users. On our Public Footpaths and Bridleways, Off-road 4 wheelers and Motor Cyclists are not allowed to use them so this makes them less busy. There are many public footpaths/Bridleways here, the ones in the popular beauty spots can become quite hectic but there are lots which are much quieter. Luckily... I think the "Fresh Air" at this end must uplift spirits as all the people I have come across out walking have always been very friendly unlike some unhappy groups with you. Take Care...Bye !
@@daisyrambob7959 Hi, Thank You for replying. Let's hope we can continue. "harm free" enjoying the great outdoors. Nothing like getting your boots on and heading out for a walk. Things getting slightly easier with the slight lift on the Lock Down but I don't think we will have the freedom we used to have for a while yet. Stay Safe...Bye !
@@marshamoore8385 Hi, Thanks for the reply...Nice to hear from you...I just picked up from the comment from 1942rita when it was mentioned that some argued out on the trail who should be using it and who shouldn't. I'm sure at times we will also get situations like that at this end but I personally haven't witnessed it. I totally agree with you there are some very nice kind people always ready to lend a hand. I am glad for you that when you needed them they were right there just for you. I love watching the Daily Videos that Tara posts...cannot wait for the new youngster to arrive - all very exciting.. Take Care .....Bye !
Hate cows always had a fear from been a young child no clue why when I rode so many hot blooded thoroughbreds funny isn’t it I like their milk though 😂😂😂. The cows weren’t too bad Farouk and Apollo couldn’t care less wonder weather you’ll get on ok in the next clip. Fingers crossed all will run smoothly see you tomorrow I’m addicted to your travels plus it reminds me of my childhood home beautiful old Yorkshire my mum bless her she’s passed now lived in Malton and my sister lives in Hovingham so I know a lot of spots over your neck of the woods I love going when I’m visiting family sadly this year is out with the covid but we’ll be going next spring all been well.ttfn😎
I have been watching your videos for the last months - had to stop ridding cause of knees. You bring back the JOY of hacking out again. Thank you so very much ! Keep it up 👍👌💪 please.;-)
Farouk is getting better and better! Maybe he's just OCD, or a "neat feak"...thise plastic jugs jyst don't belong there, they should be kept at the barn all nice and tidy like his & Apollo's barn/stable is! Tara, you just have him spoiled! 🤗 P.S., I think Apollo is watching and taking notes as you open those gates...he may just be conjuring up a plan to break him and Farouk out of the stables! Keep a keen eye 👁 on that smart Jasper! Lol! Can't wait until tomorrow's episode!
Lol, Tara oh how I can relate to getting back on using a flatbed LOL my Danny Boy was so silly, he wouldn't line up. Those cows were a bit of an Adventure😉
Living in a college town lots of cows for vet-med students to study. The mean llama stops most of the foolishness, but cannot stop the cow tipping pranks. I never knew cows were dangerous. So these cows can stop this whenever they get ready. They know not to mess with the bulls.
@@asafaust8869 all animals are dangerous. You can never trust an animal 100%. But cows and bulls can corner you and can attack you without reason sometimes.
you have to try and get them to move best way possible to protect your self .Them cows might have crushed you with your horses against that gate . I was charged by cows on the second run i hit the lead one on the head and side stepped other wise i would not be here to day . stay safe best way you can .
Thankfully I never had any experience with cows, they sound really dangerous. Glad you made it through there without any mishaps. Now if you can just get back on you can continue.
Heifers can be tricky that's for sure! They accept horses much better, I think because they have 4 legs not 2!!!! But you never know what they might do especially with young. On my sisters farm there are many footpaths and with the virus situation they have had to make extra signage to try and keep everyone on the right path even though there are existing fingerposts. Always a problem getting through gates and you can bet the cattle are congregating round the gate you want to get through. Well done to you two. You were right to have a stone handy and 'shoo' is such a great word!!
Tara: If you don't mind, I can use some advice. I am considering a very good Morgan yearling stallion as a gift for my granddaughter-in-law, and comments you've made about your search for a foal stuck in my mind. Breeding is impeccable, and disposition [as far as a yearling's is set] is very good for an experienced female rider. However, your comments about height stick in my head. Granddaughter is 30s and 5'08" and, based upon sire and dam, this colt is going to be another of the larger Morgan strains, potential of 16H. Whereas 16H would have been my perfect pleasure class height, or my grandson's [who is an obvious Swede of my line], I'm not sure for a female rider. The counter is that the matured colt would be a very good addition to the family's breeding lines, but I'm not certain of the height for a primarily pleasure seat/endurance rider, especially if gelded. Care to tender an opinion on appropriate mount's height for a non-competitive female rider? It's been 30 years since I went shopping, and I never was in the market for a lady's mount!
@@Tara101 This will be my first "horse shopping" in 35 years, and it has been an education so far. The strangest has been remembering the battle royal to get my 16H purebred mare Registered, as she was a full hand taller than the breed standard. There apparently was no such argument on this 16H yearling colt.
Cows can be dangerous if you cross the field..they will charge and trample you;especially if u got a dog with you. I got chased as a girl lucky I was able to get behind a another fence out the way. Don’t under estimate cows they are officially the main large animal to attack you if in they’re field or farming them in the UK .
I was on my horse on the road once and my trainer was walking with me and a cow charged her at the fence if that fence was not there god knows what would have happend
Yes, cows with young can be very dangerous. There was a case you may remember of a woman walking her dog through a field of cows with young & they attacked the dog & she ended up being killed & she was a vet!! dog survived 😓 be careful, all of you. ❤❤❤
Wow Tara, this video wore me out just watching you do all those gates and mounting back up!!!!! You’re a better woman than me!!!!! I remember when I was young and could mount any size horse from the ground. Now I can’t get on any of mine without my mounting steps!!!🤣
I noticed Apollo's mane was braided. Can you show a video of you doing that and getting him all saddled up for your viewers who don't ride or own horses. Those gates are a pain. Could you carry a little fold up stool in a saddlebag or something in case you have to get off to open the gate. Maybe that would not be true horsemanship tho. 🏇 Enjoyed the video!
Our cows are well raised and pretty spoiled we let the calves get used to playing with the horses and sometimes me and my sis play around with em so they dont get scared while cutting
Gosh that was hard work well done Tara the cows are very stubborn arnt they Goodness me .well done you will both need a lovely cup of tea when you get home and a big slice of cake . Well done 👍 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
It’s best to be careful of any animal. Never trust an animal 100%, it could be your worst decision. Even if you’ve known them for years they could turn around and bite you or hurt you, animals are unpredictable. I work with animals all the time now and they can be unpredictable, some days they are fine and the next they are more energetic, more nervous and more jumpy.
I use to ride a Arab pride cut gelding in a herd of red and Black Angus they also had young bulls and 1 beautiful huge 2,000 lb black Angus bull I was the only one who could ride up next to him and touch him or even walk up to him on the ground and touch him But i always kept an eye on him when i was on the ground just in case he got ants in his pants L O L he didn't have horns but he could still kill me if he wanted to But I loved riding In the herd of cows I miss it I didn't try to herd them or anything just loved watching the cows and calves by there side sometimes that were there sadly I no longer ride Maybe one day when we move i can find a stable to lease a horse.
Tara you are such a tease! You have left me hanging on whether or not you will be walking home. Personally I think Farouk is going to come through for you and let you mount. There is no way I would want to be anywhere near the cows with their calves.
I walk through field of cow's with dogs and frozen in the middle, I've had a fear of cow's, my aunty owes a farm I have to ring see if they getting the cows in if they are when we arriving I had in the car
I grew up on a farm in NZ but been in England a long time, my Dad is so shocked you can walk through peoples farms and animals here, he wouldn't dream of walking through cattle that wasn't his own! I did it a lot here but now I am hesitant and avoid it.
There was a video on the news in the US a while back where the police were pursuing a few people at night who’d been involved in some serious issue. They were in cars and at some point the individuals fled from their car and ran from the police. One of them went into the brush in a field...a field that just happened to contain a herd of cows who proceeded to follow this person, rather quickly through the field. The helicopter that was above caught it all on video (you can find it easily on UA-cam) and the cows actually made it very easy to track the suspect. They apparently did not want that person in their field. I didn’t think if it as aggression as much as inspecting the unknown presence when I saw it, but I know better now! lol
😓Hier in Nederland rijden we nooit op andermans land. Al helemaal niet tussen de koeien. We hebben ruiterpaden en langs de bermen. Maar nooit over land van een boer. Sorry geen engels.... Rens wilt het vast wel vertalen 😘
So glad I live in a place where the horses learn young to not take shit from cows, usually the horses are bluffing sometimes not, but the cows don't know that. Had a horse that loved to beat on cows. Quarter Horses also have "cow sense" I also live in a place where bulls are clearly marked and you can get shot at for being on other people's property:/ and in some places the swathes of land are as big as small states. So, nothing is really marked property wise. Not so glad about those things. Next time when you go by the cows, be mounted.
Tara, its obvious you are not around cattle too much. There's no control where cattle goes. They do congregate near gates where they know they will be fed from. That's the impression I got. That farmer did the right thing, you may had been more at risk going through the cattle. 😉
Yes, growing up on a farm can definitely say be wary of cows! Farouk did so well second time at that gate
🐴👍🥰
I follow a dairy farmer on Facebook and his herd is pretty laid back. He moves easily among the cows. They have lots of daily human contact compared to cattle (beef) grazing in fields.

Where there's a will (and your will Tara is not to be made light of!) there's a way. I have no doubt you will find a way to remount Farouk :) Good on Steve (!) for finding a way to reach Apollo from so far off! Quite a gymnastic move there!
Apollo was surprisingly stubborn about getting up to the wood flatbed. I did see he and Farouk tough noses there in sympatico and possible rebellion beforehand... (an adorable moment).
When we lived on our farm in KS, the farmer across the road asked if he could continue to bring his cattle through our land to his pastures (he had for years from the previous owner) of course we didn't mind. Then we got our horses, and the cows calved, and our dog kept finding the babies while we were out riding, and momma cows would come after us like mad bulls.
Would not want to be walking through those fields (on foot) though, we love cows, but they can kick sideways... Can't wait for the next installment!

There’s so many scents coming at them in the wind it’s a testament to your consistent training that he did as well as he did at the windy gate.
I am impressed with your gymnastics getting the first gate open! That was quite a steep ascent after the gentleman opened the gate for you. There is never a dull moment on these rides.

THAT'S the "alerternatve" route?! Suuuuure, just go up this giant steep hill through a massive pile of manure blocking the path into the cow vortex from hell.

Farouk is quite a champ with those difficult gates. And his Mum is a super hero. She shows those cows she’s boss. When she says move ♨️
Those cows look like they were guarden their young ones. Farouk and Apollo did a fantastic job getting pass those cows. Well done Apollo and Farouk 👏👏👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
What a difference a few weeks make with Farouk. Amazing. Thanks
He does his best 🐴 and thanks again for the Carrots Joyce 🥰
The other half and I had to walk through a field of young bullocks . Very curious creatures. The other half. Walked behind me whilst I was waving my arms and pointing to where I wanted them to go. A clap always works. Well done both Apollo and Farouk.
Just talk gently to cattle, even wi young ones, when on foot and they approach. Nicely sorted with your mounts in addition.
I love seeing Farouk’s silhouette as you ride. Arabians heads are so beautifully shaped. I love how they hold up their tails as they prance, too. I’ve said it before😉...you own my two favorite breeds🖤🧡, and I soooo enjoy my window to your world. Thank you MsTara🥰!
thanks 🥰
You certainly had a challenging ride that day! The boys did pretty good though.
The cows 🐮 🐄 are wondering who these strange creatures were or the cows wanted to come along for the ride.😁😊😉.
Lived on a farm when I was child we had sheep 🐑 & cows 🐄 I loved it. My grandparents only lived down the road.
Farouk the birthday horse 🐴 has come along way with gates. Well done Farouk 🥕🥕🥕.
Interesting 🧐 day for riding, lovely scenery of the countryside.

You can tell how long a farm had been in a family by the number of legends which accumulate. Our family legend is the story of my 10 year old mother, who was out gathering wild blueberries, getting too close to a newborn calf its mother had hidden in the blueberry bushes. The mother cow took extreme umbrage and was chasing her across the cow pasture while my uncles, only 11 or 12 years old and scared themselves, stood watching as my 5'00" tall grandmother, who was raised on the Odanak Native American Reservation in Quebec, charged the cow, swinging a big cast iron frying pan to defend her daughter. The family legend passed down to all the grandchildren is that our Nana scared the mother cow so badly the milk cow ran in the opposite direction, taking her calf with her! Both uncles and my mother repeated the same story for many years, down to their great-grandchildren, so apparently the legend is true!
First, great idea to use the hay rick as a mounting block [even if the boys weren't being as cooperative as they should have been].
Second, did I hear you create new words for the English language? "Spooklings" and "Spookles?" Highly appropriate terms!
Between the normal contrary nature of that gate, and the sound of the wind blowing against opening it, Farouk actually did quite well. I am very glad I never had to deal with gates like those!
Regardless, neither Apollo nor Farouk have any ambition to be cowhorses!
tfs 👍😁😂🐴
I know I could move through my own cattle but if anyone else were to do it they might get agressive.
I did tonight, we had a stillborn and the herd was upset. But we were calm and didn't have a nervous horse along
Glad you all got through the field of cows safely!
Oh Tara..I had no idea how hard it is to get back on after dismounting! What a shame it spoils your ride..I guess Murphies Law abides in the UK as well as here. Thank goodness the boys stayed pretty calm with the cows. Thanks for sharing, always a pleasure, have a wonderful day!
😊
Well you can get on a horse without a block but it requires a lot of strength to pull yourself up and over, a horse that allows it and you have to be light to not hurt the horse while heavily pulling on its back to pull yourself up. It's better to have a mounting block.
Hi Tara, you really know how to keep the suspence.....😂😂😂 suddenly Boltby seems to consist only of gates....😳 very exhausting, but a very nice place to live...the cows were hoping you left the gate Open for a new field...
Take care Dagmar ❤❤❤❤
😂
There is almost nothing meaner than a Momma Cow with their babies. Happy Trails and Stay Safe. Have you heard when your quarantine time is over?
we are well on the way to end lockdown Yay! 😁
@@Tara101 yea
You are an inspiration for me and my horse. Hug from Norway 🥰
thanks Kari
...and Farouk is not fazed by that gate! Perhaps the heifers had heard about the UA-cam stars, Apollo and Farouk and wanted a closer look? I held my breadth until you went through the second gate. I recommend your videos to friends who need fun and positive images to combat their sheltering in place blues.
that's good to hear 🥰
Yes wow what An experience for ya'll there I didn't know that cow's could do that, or be like that I always thought that cow's were soso..unless they had a baby calf with the them..Farouk did very well there wow msn I'd say apollo and Steve are awesome..💕🐴🎶🐎
Well. Farouk handled that gate so much better....good for him! Cows can be rather dicey to ride through. It’s a good thing you had some rocks handy to toss at them. Monkey see, monkey do, I believe......!
Maybe the farmer sent you that way bec the second lot of cows weren't his??!! Otherwise dont make sense as u say Tara! Apollo's beautiful shiny coat on close-ups. Apollo and Farouk's mutual touching of noses, well, touching & gorgeous! 💜💜💜💜
Do you ever just wanna 😌🤜🏼🐮. THIS IS A JOKE I would never hit an animal
Not even wild rats? Shame.
Well where's the sense it that hadn't he heard of electric fencing? And they were being strong willed and stubborn not moving away because of having calf's. Ooh Apollo being worried of a flat bed trailer because Farouk doesn't like it ,does it remind him of a bridge? Stunning scenery with the sun on it sad to say we need some rain we haven't had any rain for a month now and the soil is like a desert. I thought we were going to get a bit of a shower on Sunday but the wind blew it over before it could even build up over the neighbourhood . My bulbs I planted need some soon otherwise they will just shrivel and not poke themselves out of the ground. Hope the boys enjoy their fresh carrots on Farouk's birthday .🐎🐴
yes they did thank you very much👍🥰
P.S. I love the orange saddle pads they're so smart looking. 💖
I didn't know that cows are so dangerous! How scary! Apollo and Farouk behaved very well🥕🥕 I'm very happy to tell you that today I got on the horse for the first time in my life😊 It is a Fjord mare and her name is Gloria. I already love her! Tsf Tara🖤
Well done for getting on your first horse 👍👍👍👍👍🐴
@@Tara101 It all started with your channel. Many thanks Tara🧡
@@tatumergo3931 Thank you but is a long way to Texas. Very long indeed😊
Those gates seem tricky. I think I might have a bad word slip out. You did a great job of maneuvering with tons of patience. ❤🐎
Great comparison on how Farouk is handling gates. Good job.
thanks😁
Well that was a bit of a strange detour, not very clear where to go, although I noted the gate you came out of had a sign on it, so did you by any chance perhaps come out the wrong gate? Of course the sign might just have been telling people to be careful or something else entirely lol. Good job your horses are good with cattle and good to lead 👍 and I’m always cautious around cows, particularly with calves and also bullocks, got chased by a herd of them whilst out walking once 😲 I’m going to stick my neck out and say that you might have struggled to climb up on the flatbed, whilst holding Farouk, so may have found an alternative place to mount, but I bet you’re going to prove me wrong 🤣
I raised angus for a bit and they’re really not nice at all. So that was a nail biter!! And wow Farouk learns well!! So many experiences!! Once again a really fun video. Thanks so much. Hope you’re all well and happy and that re-opening is going well and smoothly and of course the Britts are behaving much better than the few needy idiots getting all the attention here in the States. TTFN 👋
tfs Linda 😁
LOL 9:12 they just standing there watching her. they not even moving a mussel hahaha 😂😂
What good horses, what improvement in Farouk, amazing what you have been able to do with patience and firm kindness recognising when it’s something new or Farouk trying to get out of something, I haven’t seen Farouk up close to a trailer and he
Yes I think he will get close enough to trailer because he trusts you
Farouk your a 🌟 he’s a real credit to you Tara remembering earlier rides when he was younger and frightful at times .🇦🇺👋
thanks 🐴
Your boys are sweet. A lot of scary things out on the farm. Lol
Well, that was exciting! All those acres and the cows had to be right by the gates... go figure! Glad you made it through there without any issues. Now to get back on! 😁
I'm a new watcher farouq is stunning! They both are but I love farouq's colouring
thanks 👍😊
Fiuuuu...very danger...good horses 🤩🤗🥰💞🏇
...that was wonderful...as I've gotten older, I knew mounting up would require some help...lol...thank you for sharing!!!! These lovely videos bring sanity into my world...[] With Love
thanks, good to hear🥰
@@Tara101 ...the tack is is breath-taking too...[] :)))
Hi Tara, I've never heard of heifer attacking but they can mob when they are curious and get very frisky and playful which can be mistaken for aggression...usually they are more afraid of you and horses :) Not nice being afraid or feeling threatened, however.
Oh yes cows will attack especially if they have young ones. BEWARE
@@maeneisler2313 Thanks, but because I live on a very large dairy farm (over 500 acres) where we milk and raise dairy cows as a full time living and also raise a beef herd, I am speaking from years of experience. Also, your horses are a fairly good indicator if there is something to be afraid of, and both Apollo and Farouk showed very little concern.
There’s been loads of attacks in the UK and deaths .
In NZ you don't have public footpaths or bridleways so you're heifers or cows probably only see people they know. I can tell you that Steve and I were attacked by heifers on a walk and we didn't have a dog with us and they would have run us down, if Steve had not hit one on the head with his rucksack which gave us chance to get to the stile.
Wow that is aggressive isn't it? No, we don't have bridleways you're right and the cows we need to be careful of are the cows that have given recent birth with extremely young calves at foot as their mothers and can be fiercely protective and are even worse than bulls, of course, bulls to are very dangerous and you never turn your back on them. The cows you were moving through at the time, were not aggressive but being very curious only and if they had been aggressive both Farouk and Apollo would have been highly agitated and probably kicked out. I certainly have learned a lot about English cows and herds today for sure. Perhaps in the UK cows have become aggressive because people teach them to be wary of humans?
Never used to bother about cows in the way on our walks, l'd merrily wave my arms at them & off they'd go ! Come across far too many that won't budge nowadays & l've decided not to go in a field if there's cattle in. Not as brave nowadays!!!
Farouk did really well on his second time at the awkward gate, he really has come on in leaps & bounds !!
👍🐴
did you notice how these cows stood their ground..although they seemed more curious than anything else..they were definitely giving the humans and horses within their territory a long think. Fortunately, they were through the fence and safe before the cows could come to consensus about what to do.
Faroukle and his spookles. Hee hee 😍
I love your videos and your horses are beautiful. I love the way you treat them. Can you answer a question? When you're riding, what is the horses job and what is your job while on the horse?
Riding is a team effort
I know. I was just asking when you ride what is the horses job? And what is your job as a rider? I'm not very experienced and I need some help in a few areas. Thank you for replying.
HI, Never seems fair to me , that when out walking or horse riding you come across a threat on your journey. These Public Footpaths and Bridleways are public land and you should be able to journey across them without interference. I think all public paths on Private Land should be made safe for the user. I myself are a "Hiker" and often come across these situations, you have to continue forward somehow as after walking 6 miles for example you cannot turn round and re trace your steps, much too far.
All fellow Hikers/Horse Riders ask for , are good clear signs and safe to continue forward, we take great care in closing gates etc We don't want to cause any unnecessary damage to the Private Area's we just want to quickly pass through. This type of situation can spoil a lovely outing, it is such a shame. Glad you all got past the livestock safely and enjoyed your ride so far, hope you don't encounter anymore on your journey home. As always...Thank You for a Great Video..Bye for Now ! xx
well said Carol👍🥰
In Pacific NW USA we have few public bridleways. Most trails must be shared with hikers, cyclist off-road 4 wheelers. I was surprised how often some group argued another sh/be banned from using a trail. Shared use was never willingly done.
@@1942rita Hi, Thank You for the reply. The trails at your end seem to be very busy with many varied outdoor users. On our Public Footpaths and Bridleways, Off-road 4 wheelers and Motor Cyclists are not allowed to use them so this makes them less busy. There are many public footpaths/Bridleways here, the ones in the popular beauty spots can become quite hectic but there are lots which are much quieter. Luckily... I think the "Fresh Air" at this end must uplift spirits as all the people I have come across out walking have always been very friendly unlike some unhappy groups with you. Take Care...Bye !
@@daisyrambob7959 Hi, Thank You for replying. Let's hope we can continue. "harm free" enjoying the great outdoors. Nothing like getting your boots on and heading out for a walk. Things getting slightly easier with the slight lift on the Lock Down but I don't think we will have the freedom we used to have for a while yet. Stay Safe...Bye !
@@marshamoore8385 Hi, Thanks for the reply...Nice to hear from you...I just picked up from the comment from 1942rita when it was mentioned that some argued out on the trail who should be using it and who shouldn't. I'm sure at times we will also get situations like that at this end but I personally haven't witnessed it. I totally agree with you there are some very nice kind people always ready to lend a hand. I am glad for you that when you needed them they were right there just for you. I love watching the Daily Videos that Tara posts...cannot wait for the new youngster to arrive - all very exciting.. Take Care .....Bye !
Hate cows always had a fear from been a young child no clue why when I rode so many hot blooded thoroughbreds funny isn’t it I like their milk though 😂😂😂. The cows weren’t too bad Farouk and Apollo couldn’t care less wonder weather you’ll get on ok in the next clip. Fingers crossed all will run smoothly see you tomorrow I’m addicted to your travels plus it reminds me of my childhood home beautiful old Yorkshire my mum bless her she’s passed now lived in Malton and my sister lives in Hovingham so I know a lot of spots over your neck of the woods I love going when I’m visiting family sadly this year is out with the covid but we’ll be going next spring all been well.ttfn😎
tfs Christine 🥰
I have been watching your videos for the last months - had to stop ridding cause of knees. You bring back the JOY of hacking out again. Thank you so very much ! Keep it up 👍👌💪 please.;-)
Farouk is such a beautiful horse and he knows it, he was amazing dealing with that second gate ❤️
👍🐴
My daughter's pony hates cows. Even in a field way up away from him. The head goes up and he just panics.
Tara, did I notice your regular wintec and not your endurance saddle? Or was this filmed before new saddle arrived? Hope still all ok with it? X
this before new saddle
Farouk is getting better and better! Maybe he's just OCD, or a "neat feak"...thise plastic jugs jyst don't belong there, they should be kept at the barn all nice and tidy like his & Apollo's barn/stable is! Tara, you just have him spoiled! 🤗 P.S., I think Apollo is watching and taking notes as you open those gates...he may just be conjuring up a plan to break him and Farouk out of the stables! Keep a keen eye 👁 on that smart Jasper! Lol! Can't wait until tomorrow's episode!
👍😂🐴
Lol, Tara oh how I can relate to getting back on using a flatbed LOL my Danny Boy was so silly, he wouldn't line up. Those cows were a bit of an Adventure😉
Cows can kill people .glad you got past them safely 🐴🏇
Living in a college town lots of cows for vet-med students to study. The mean llama stops most of the foolishness, but cannot stop the cow tipping pranks. I never knew cows were dangerous. So these cows can stop this whenever they get ready. They know not to mess with the bulls.
@@asafaust8869 all animals are dangerous.
You can never trust an animal 100%.
But cows and bulls can corner you and can attack you without reason sometimes.
@@abigray8585 NO animal except from humans are dangerous.
What’s wrong with you?
@@FunkyShrimp. so no animals you’ve seen are dangerous???
Because I’m pretty sure any animal can be dangerous regardless of a humans intervention.
@@FunkyShrimp. So Tigers, Lions, Wolves, Jaguars, Cheetahs, Foxes, Raccoons, and Lynxes are all sweet, loving animals?
Oh man! Leave me hanging, woman! I thought the cattle might give you a big problem. Whew!
Good Job Steve. Love ya dearly Tara....waving at Steve!
😂
Dear Farouk is so good with all the gates... my horses have never been good with gates
it just Farouk gets a lot of practice at gates
you have to try and get them to move best way possible to protect your self .Them cows might have crushed you with your horses against that gate . I was charged by cows on the second run i hit the lead one on the head and side stepped other wise i would not be here to day . stay safe best way you can .
Thankfully I never had any experience with cows, they sound really dangerous. Glad you made it through there without any mishaps. Now if you can just get back on you can continue.
😂
The brown cow was coming over to show you she won’t be pushed around. lol
Heifers can be tricky that's for sure! They accept horses much better, I think because they have 4 legs not 2!!!! But you never know what they might do especially with young. On my sisters farm there are many footpaths and with the virus situation they have had to make extra signage to try and keep everyone on the right path even though there are existing fingerposts. Always a problem getting through gates and you can bet the cattle are congregating round the gate you want to get through. Well done to you two. You were right to have a stone handy and 'shoo' is such a great word!!
thanks Sarah 😁
Tara: If you don't mind, I can use some advice. I am considering a very good Morgan yearling stallion as a gift for my granddaughter-in-law, and comments you've made about your search for a foal stuck in my mind. Breeding is impeccable, and disposition [as far as a yearling's is set] is very good for an experienced female rider. However, your comments about height stick in my head. Granddaughter is 30s and 5'08" and, based upon sire and dam, this colt is going to be another of the larger Morgan strains, potential of 16H.
Whereas 16H would have been my perfect pleasure class height, or my grandson's [who is an obvious Swede of my line], I'm not sure for a female rider. The counter is that the matured colt would be a very good addition to the family's breeding lines, but I'm not certain of the height for a primarily pleasure seat/endurance rider, especially if gelded.
Care to tender an opinion on appropriate mount's height for a non-competitive female rider? It's been 30 years since I went shopping, and I never was in the market for a lady's mount!
I am 5ft 8 and Farouk is 16hh and I feel just great on him, not under horses. In my younger day my horses stood 16.2hh to 17.2hh I hope that helps😊
@@Tara101 It does - thank you very much! This is an example of attempting to surprise a grandchild, and trying to to avoid a major mistake.
@@Tara101 This will be my first "horse shopping" in 35 years, and it has been an education so far. The strangest has been remembering the battle royal to get my 16H purebred mare Registered, as she was a full hand taller than the breed standard. There apparently was no such argument on this 16H yearling colt.
@@larinvermont3271 a very lucky grandchild 🥰
Obrigado Tara 👍
Lol love how You weren’t aiming for the cow but still hit it
Cows can be dangerous if you cross the field..they will charge and trample you;especially if u got a dog with you.
I got chased as a girl lucky I was able to get behind a another fence out the way.
Don’t under estimate cows they are officially the main large animal to attack you if in they’re field or farming them in the UK .
yep!
I was on my horse on the road once and my trainer was walking with me and a cow charged her at the fence if that fence was not there god knows what would have happend
Yes, cows with young can be very dangerous. There was a case you may remember of a woman walking her dog through a field of cows with young & they attacked the dog & she ended up being killed & she was a vet!! dog survived 😓 be careful, all of you. ❤❤❤
yes I do remember that it was on the news
@@Tara101 it was so shocking & very sad. 😓
Fun fact:Cows are the most dangerous animals in the UK
He's giving those stumps a long look as you go past..facing down strange cows on foot is no fun. Glad you were ok. whew
Wow Tara, this video wore me out just watching you do all those gates and mounting back up!!!!! You’re a better woman than me!!!!! I remember when I was young and could mount any size horse from the ground. Now I can’t get on any of mine without my mounting steps!!!🤣
tfs Louise😁
I noticed Apollo's mane was braided. Can you show a video of you doing that and getting him all saddled up for your viewers who don't ride or own horses. Those gates are a pain. Could you carry a little fold up stool in a saddlebag or something in case you have to get off to open the gate. Maybe that would not be true horsemanship tho. 🏇 Enjoyed the video!
Our cows are well raised and pretty spoiled we let the calves get used to playing with the horses and sometimes me and my sis play around with em so they dont get scared while cutting
Despite all the gates you have to pass, you have a lovely nature to ride in, comparing to Sweden. I envy you:)
Gosh that was hard work well done Tara the cows are very stubborn arnt they Goodness me .well done you will both need a lovely cup of tea when you get home and a big slice of cake . Well done 👍 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Hi Tara, and sheep who have just had a lamb will sometimes miss mother.
get a western saddle and you can get on your horses without having a step ladder......
Yes it's best to be careful of cattle ,one never knows what they will do!🐴🐴🐮🐮🐮
It’s best to be careful of any animal.
Never trust an animal 100%, it could be your worst decision.
Even if you’ve known them for years they could turn around and bite you or hurt you, animals are unpredictable.
I work with animals all the time now and they can be unpredictable, some days they are fine and the next they are more energetic, more nervous and more jumpy.
I use to ride a Arab pride cut gelding in a herd of red and Black Angus they also had young bulls and 1 beautiful huge 2,000 lb black Angus bull I was the only one who could ride up next to him and touch him or even walk up to him on the ground and touch him But i always kept an eye on him when i was on the ground just in case he got ants in his pants L O L he didn't have horns but he could still kill me if he wanted to But I loved riding In the herd of cows I miss it I didn't try to herd them or anything just loved watching the cows and calves by there side sometimes that were there sadly I no longer ride Maybe one day when we move i can find a stable to lease a horse.
Tfs
I think Farouk is similar to my 🐴
Tara you are such a tease! You have left me hanging on whether or not you will be walking home. Personally I think Farouk is going to come through for you and let you mount. There is no way I would want to be anywhere near the cows with their calves.
Big boy don’t want to go by that trailer
I walk through field of cow's with dogs and frozen in the middle, I've had a fear of cow's, my aunty owes a farm I have to ring see if they getting the cows in if they are when we arriving I had in the car
Wow, 😀🐴
I grew up on a farm in NZ but been in England a long time, my Dad is so shocked you can walk through peoples farms and animals here, he wouldn't dream of walking through cattle that wasn't his own! I did it a lot here but now I am hesitant and avoid it.

There was a video on the news in the US a while back where the police were pursuing a few people at night who’d been involved in some serious issue. They were in cars and at some point the individuals fled from their car and ran from the police. One of them went into the brush in a field...a field that just happened to contain a herd of cows who proceeded to follow this person, rather quickly through the field. The helicopter that was above caught it all on video (you can find it easily on UA-cam) and the cows actually made it very easy to track the suspect. They apparently did not want that person in their field. I didn’t think if it as aggression as much as inspecting the unknown presence when I saw it, but I know better now! lol
TFS 😂👍🥰
As we in the southern US say... y’all are having a time!!
Perhaps " ground tieing" should be the boys next skill?
You are always safer ON the horse

So glad I live in a place where the horses learn young to not take shit from cows, usually the horses are bluffing sometimes not, but the cows don't know that. Had a horse that loved to beat on cows. Quarter Horses also have "cow sense" I also live in a place where bulls are clearly marked and you can get shot at for being on other people's property:/ and in some places the swathes of land are as big as small states. So, nothing is really marked property wise. Not so glad about those things. Next time when you go by the cows, be mounted.
What an adventure!!
😊😊😊😊😊
Just as well the boys are used to seeing cows from their paddock - stupid farmer and sign didn’t think it through for riders at all 😩

@@Tara101 she is a good rider. Calm. That Arab wanted to pop 😂
Tara, its obvious you are not around cattle too much. There's no control where cattle goes. They do congregate near gates where they know they will be fed from. That's the impression I got. That farmer did the right thing, you may had been more at risk going through the cattle. 😉
Well it seems very vacation.
Having ridden in several roundups as a youth, it wasn't that scary...face the cows and trot towards them, they will scatter.
