- Part 6/6. All our horses are insured for "Public Liability" which means if they cause any injury or damage to another person or persons we are covered up to £2.5 million. You just never know. A Poem by Karen Lugg:
Farouk said
O thank God I made it home,
I’m exhausted never more to roam
Oh no said Apollo what have you done,
You were supposed to be out having fun.
I got lost said Farouk looking very sad
You didn’t lose Tara did you, that would be bad.
Not exactly, we got all the way round
and people said how well I covered the ground
Tell me more said Apollo not believing his ears
How did you get lost, well said Farouk nearly in tears.
We were by the van and I saw these horses trott past,
They were easy to catch, they weren’t very fast.
Tara was changing my bridle you see,
It was easy to get free.
Oh you didn’t run off, what happened next,
Said Apollo looking worried and vexed.
Out onto the road I ran for miles,
A bit like doing speed test trials.
But I got so frightened and lost you see
With all those vehicles coming at me.
My feet were red hot and I started to puff,
I knew that I had had enough.
I couldn’t think straight it was a nightmare,
But suddenly, like magic, Tara was there.
She calmed me down and took such care.
She told me off as we walked back
Said it would be a while before I can hack.
Well said Apollo as head of the herd
I must say what you did was really absurd.
It was a selfish, stupid thing to do,
especially as you don’t wear shoes.
I’m sorry said Farouk looking downcast.
But bloody hell wasn’t I fast.
🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎
I was hoping you might see your bridle. Horse tack is very expensive. But having Farouk safe in one peace is priceless.
at peace and not in pieces...a fair trade, I'm thinking!
Tara from this day forward I would not take that Bridal off of Farooq until he was loaded up in the trailer! What a scary experience oh, you held it together so nicely
Oh dear, it’s a good thing I did not watch this last night since my daughter is visiting from Indiana. I burst into tears knowing that sinking feeling from the morning I went to do my chores and all 3 were gone. They went across a busy road. Fortunately, a police officer came along where I was walking and she had spotted them. I started running in that direction until the officer said she could drive me there faster! When I approached them praying my heart out Whiskey took off galloping & leading the way home. The officer blocked traffic while they crossed the busy road. We live on a dead end country road with hardly any traffic. All 3 went ran into the paddock then their stalls & hung their heads. Like, why would we leave our home where we are treated better than many children? I saw Divine intervention operating on behalf of Farouk. So grateful your trauma ended well. 💗🤠

My oh my. I show dogs and have seen loose dogs take off. I am so glad he was none the worse for wear and you got him back safe and sound.
Me too. Sadly one was killed on the road this year at a champ show. Farouk was so lucky. Tara must have been . knackered. So scary.
I am sorry to hear that. I live in California so always worry with fires and getting livestock safe. So glad Farouk was okay.
Omg thank goodness all ended up well, and that lovely lady, getting into a strangers van, also having to walk all the way bk, fantastic lady, hope she received a lovely bunch of flowers for her time and energy, 😊👍🙏
Tara, thank you posting this video as an education to all us viewers. Grateful you are both ok. Warmed my heart to see all those that came to your aid. Especially the very kind lady who saved the day💗💗💗
So glad you got him back safe and sound, my heart was pounding for you Tara 💗 xx
My husband once fell off his 17.2 horse in 35,000 acres of forestry commission woodland which was surrounded by busy roads, we lost Badger for 3 hours, the rangers and all our friends came from miles to help us, we feared the worst .... eventually we saw him being lead by a very tiny lady walking her dog, she wasnt "horsey" at all, but apparently Badger had walked up to her as if to say, "can you take me back to my dad please, I'm lost"
The relief and gratitude we felt was overwhelming, I burst into tears xx
Lesson learnt, after that we only rode in pairs in the woods xx
tfs 🐴♥️
It was truly miraculous that it all ended well! And I believe, Farouk did learn from the experience and the bond is definitely stronger! Wonderful people helped you! God bless them! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Oh my stars and garters!!!! When Farouk took off, my heart dropped! I was praying the whole time until you found him. You were absolutely correct when you said he was most fortunate to come out of that with just sore feet!!!
Oh no 😱🤦🏼♀️ Farouk. Thank goodness for those amazing people that helped & captured Farouk & Farouk didn’t get hurt or get hit by a vehicle 😢
Never a dull moment with Farouk.
Farouk will be to telling Apollo & Bella what he did & how naughty he was.
Very glad Farouk is okay & you to Tara.😘😘🤗🤗
Some of those drivers don’t think when going past horses at a neck braking speed especially that red car & how dangerous it can be for the rider or someone leading a horse/pony along the road.
Teenage Farouk trying to look 👀 innocent 😇 as if to say “What have I have done Mum.”
Farouk definitely had a very big fright after it all back fired on him.
What a frightening experience! I’ve had horses escape onto a road a couple of times, and haven’t forgotten that heart-in-mouth feeling. All the horrible possibilities go through your head as you’re searching for them. Thank goodness he is safe and sound.
😊🐴
Oh my gosh. You must have been so scared . I am so glad everyone helped you. Thanks for the video.
Oh my goodness, I am so relived that he was ok, I don't normally cry but this really got to me, you must have been terrified.
Tara I don't know how you managed to compose yourself.
I was very emotional at the end of the video, I was so so happy it all ended as it did , but I think this video has now highlighted what can happen in a split second,. ❤️Xxx
Tara pleased that you posted the full video - it can happen to anyone - your heart rate also starts to come down on the walk back - thank you goodness he was ok - one lucky boy
OMG! Even remembering you said “all would end well”, I was so scared for you both. You kept it together & the equine community pitched in......wonderful! That is one lucky horse, Thankfully!
So glad to hear Farouk came out of it all unharmed! That is amazing. It's so scary when they bolt like that- there is absolutely no stopping them at that point. And with all those cars speeding past, I was so scared for him. Bridles can be replaced...
This a great lesson, in so many ways, for all of us. Thank you for reminding us how quickly a familiar situation can go awry.
Oh crikey that heart sinking moment. What a huge relief that you both are okay and safe.
I am so glad you found him you must have been beside yourself with worry. So glad you found him he had traveled a long way.
Naughty farouk, so glad hes still intact. What a lucky lad . 💕 hope you're recovered too Tara . I cannot believe how far he ran
Oh, dear boy Farouk! You truly are so very fortunate to have survived your flight of fancy unhurt. Thank goodness!
My heart sank when he took off. I had that feeling in the pit of my stomach that happens when shock, fear and momentary helplessness punch me in the gut. How wonderful that people who care about horses themselves, and for other riders, rally together to help in a crisis! God bless them! And praise God that neither Farouk, you or anyone else was injured.
With horses anything can happen, that’s why we must be thankful for every moment with them. I’ve learn that by experience.
Tara, I can't believe how patient and understanding you are. How frightening this was. I guess you just never know about any animal. You are such a blessing to Farouk. I'm so impressed with how you handled this. God bless you. So glad you and Faurok are ok. ❤️
Try tying his halter (leadrope) to the trailer and put the halter on his neck before taking off the bridle. Thats how i was taught 🥰 he saw the chance and took it💀
Just saw this video! Oh honey, I understand how frightening it was!! He had a guardian angel watching over him!! What a wonderful lady to go after him and walk back with you!!😳❤️❤️😘
Tara,it was nice to have a friend with you and Farouk walking back to where your Lori truck was parked at that day
That was a scare, but I'm glad Farouk was ok and didn't have an accident. 🐎🐎 The poem by Karen Lugg is brilliant. 👍👍
👍😁
Tara I just want to say Farouk is so beautiful. I have only ridden an Arabian horse once (I’m assuming Farouk is an Arabian). But their shift into a gallop is amazing. I could just feel the hind quarters bunching and thrusting!!! So glad this turned out alright!
Wow what a miracle! You must have felt sick! He’s a very naughty boy and I hope he never does it again. Wonderful ending with help from very nice people. 🙏
What a shock to see him run of towards that road, so glad Farouk is okay and not hurt himself. Great lady who stopped him and walked back with you. On the way back he's licking and thankful you are with him, pffffffoe your heart must be pounding everywhere 😱
so he was using the old..."hey, I'm just a baby and meant no harm" I suspected he was doing it..but didn't see it in the film. Somebody has caught him and punished him before you ever got him, Tara. Maybe when he was just a baby being broke to lead.
OHH, one of mine WORST nightmare (regarding horses)- GOOD you caught him(and intact). GREAT PEOPLE WHO HELPED YOU. I CAN NOT EVEN STRESS HOW GOOD THEY WERE. if I may suggest - next time just put his head collar OVER the bridal and haul him like that. You can always take the rains off, I'm sure it will be safe. GOOD THING YOU GOT HIM BACK
Hi Tara, so,pleased there were people who could assist you. It’s amazing Farouk was not hurt other than sore feet. Great to know after a couple of weeks rest, he was ready for riding-hacking again. 👍😘🙏🐴🥕
Wow Tara, that could easily have been a tragedy. So glad you and Farouk are safe and well. x
I'm glad it turned out OK! He's such a handsome horse, by the way.
💜
I have no idea how you stayed so calm, my heart was pounding just watching. He definitely had the wind in his sails. So happy he wasn’t hurt and a new bridal is always a treat.
😁
Im so glad everything was ok and no one was hurt (including Farouk) I would have been sobbing and shaking like a leaf all the way back to the venue. It shows how important it is to have a closed gate at venue and in the yard at home too in case of problems
I'm so happy that he was ok, I love going on all these adventure's with you and Farouk. Thank you for sharing Farouk with us.
My gosh ma’am, I am so sorry this happened to you both, what a blessing that he and you are okay and that all of these people were so willing and able to help you!!!!💜🤗
It occurred to me that he might get really sore several hours on even though he seemed fine immediately afterwards. I would make arrangements with a vet if you haven’t, I’m guessing you probably drive right to one though!!
I’m still holding my breath a little hehe I live by a busy road and my horses spooking down it is my worst nightmare!
Oh my...my heart sank too as I saw him running off with the bridle flopping...he could have easily gotten tangled up in it, slipped on the road, or gotten hit by one of those cars flying by! I am soooo glad he is safe!! As you were walking him back, I couldn't help but notice him looking at you--those eyes! He was truly relieved to see you, and knew he was safe. It looked as though his eyes were saying, "I'm sorry...please don't be mad at me". "Horse people" are a different breed of folks...I believe everyone that witnessed this knows it could have easily been them, and they just jumped in to help!
🥰
OMG........I have never felt physically and mentally traumatised by a video before, but when he broke away and took off, I literally turned cold with fear. The only other time I have reacted like that was when my 5 year old niece walked away from my side in a large supermarket, the fear that hits when you realise they're not under your protection is heart-stopping!, my reaction was instant tears and a mad dash up and down the isles in total panic. Can I just say that I admire your ability to hide the terror and outwardly remain calm and with supreme level thinking begin the search.
Thank the stars he didn't hurt himself or collide with traffic!. I can tell you that like Farouk, my niece became extra careful to stay by my side, The shock of getting lost and the feeling of safety on seeing a familiar face is often a lesson well learnt...hopefully, lol. I am just so glad my adopted horse-nephew is safe and sound. (it's ok, don't worry, I won't be demanding visitation right, lolol). Your three horses are such a joy to watch and see them mature and enjoy life, and I thank you for allowing us all to be a part of their lives.
tfs Cal ♥️
My mare did the same thing ONCE. I’m sure you’re right. It was as frightening for her as me. Main road. Fast cars. Barefoot. Though fully bridled. Wow. We and our horses were indeed quite lucky. Thank Goodness. And thanks to helpful people too. I’ll never forget them.
I’ve watched this video several times and it’s just as scary as the first time watching. Tara your heart must have been going 100 miles per hour when he got away. You were so fortunate. 1. that you had some help 2.that Farouk didn’t get hurt. 3. That Farouk didn’t hurt anyone. I think that Farouk was relieved to see you.
Oh heck Tara, what a shock, my heart was in my mouth, so goodness knows how fast your heart was beating! Some lovely people to help you. Hope you are ok. Don't know how you managed to drive home. Felt so sorry for you. Glad Farouk was ok too, bet he was scared. 🐎💖
OMG Tara, so glad you are both ok, that’s so not like Farouk, what a fright for you both, take care , love to you all, ❤️❤️💕
Oh Tara, I can only imagine how frightening that must have been for you both. My heart was in my throat just watching. You seemed so calm! So happy that it ended well, and for strangers being kind.
Well... obviously "someone or something" was watching over Farouk and yourself Tara. My heart is still in my throat, I can just imagine what you were feeling. I live on a very busy state highway (why riding has become more and more difficult over the years) and I've had similar situations happen on two different occasions. Once I was still on the horse when he bolted and went straight for the highway because a curb chain broke and freaked him out, but thankfully that ended well. The second was when I was still a child, it was my heart horse...a jet black Rocky Mount. that ended in tragedy that I still can't talk about to this day without crying. In short I know that sickening feeling you must've had in the pit of your stomach and there's no words for it! I'm so glad Farouk is safe and all is well ❣️ Hopefully Farouk learned a very valuable lesson 🙈🙉🙊 many hugs 🖤💜🧡🌸
So sorry for the loss of your beloved horse. 💕🙏💕🙏💕🙏💕
@@geniemichel4245 thank you, that's very kind ❣️
Absolutely nerve wracking!! I can’t even imagine how you must have get with adrenaline up to a high doe! What a relief that your big boy made it home safe and sound! So surprising that he was naughty after he had been so well behaved on the ride! He was still ready to go, poor fellow!
OMG, he was off like a shot. I am sure you where terrified. Such nice people who help you. I am so glad he was not injured. If he could talk to you I am sure it would be quite a story. Take care and stay safe. Gwen
I'm thinking, Tara didn't even tell Rens..till she was completely calmed down and could be matter of fact.
GRACIOUS😱 !!! More than relieved that this naughty adventure ended safely. Hopefully he’s told you “Sorry Mum, it won’t happen again”😞 How nice to see all of the other people helping you find him and getting him under control 👍🏻
Thanks for sharing the realities of owning horses. Thank everyone who stayed calm and helped.
Absolutely!
Goodness me Tara, my heart was in my mouth the whole time. This, unfortunately, is a regular occurrence for my cob 😢. We don’t go on pleasure rides etc but can happen coming out of the stable, putting tack on, taking tack off, coming out of the field (onto a road). He’s 20 years old and has gotten into a terrible habit. I’ve has him 4 years now and it’s becoming less regular. He did it last weekend for the first time in 12 months. Right onto the road 😬 it’s awful isn’t it!
Very glad all was well in the end x
tfs Megan
He is such a lucky boy! This happened to a friend of mine and we gave chase in our horse. He too was an arab and ran for miles crossing many junctions the most frightening thing was that the owner’s 6 year old child was on board at the time!! How both horse and child made it through I will never know but they did. When they go they just go and nothing will stop them! Poor Feruk he frightened himself but glad no long term affects.
Wish car drivers would learn to slow down they are so rude. X
Omg how scary! I'm so glad horse and child were ok!!!!
tfs 🐴 the child most have been terrified 😢
Heart in mouth all through that. Thank god all ok and he’s hopefully learnt running off not good. Lovely of that women to walk back with you as you had a fright too. Such lovely people but as most horse lovers are among loveliest people no surprise Big hugs to all 😀
I think you were also very lucky that no people were injured from a car accident from him running through the streets. When we go to any event, the gates are always closed. Even when there is open field riding like where you were, the floating area is enclosed & on the off chance it's not (only ever once), always put the halter on before you take off the bridle. Safer for you & safer for the horse. So glad this worked out with no injuries to anyone involved 😮💨🙂
I'm glad he was ok! And everyone was ok! That was nice of that man to help!😳
Wow. So glad that Farouk was really fine other than sore feet after his Great Escape. I bet you’re right that now he trusts and appreciates you even more because he knows you saved him from a scary place. 😊❤️
Glad you were both ok, absolutely love the poem.
me too 💖💜
Oh my stars, what a terrifying moment! I’m so glad that Farouk was not injured during his escapade and that no one else was hurt either. Huge kudos to the people who helped you find him and hold him until you you could get his head collar on.
this is the reason i never ever ever take a bridle of outside! always in the trailer or truck or stable indoors! When i went out riding i would put the bridle on in the trailer , and when i was done , put them in the trailer and chance the bridle into halter! never in my whole life will i ever do this ! i had a mare that spooked like this all the time on the parking . i would always take the lunge , bridle her and take her down the trailer . now i have a stallion and he gets always a bridle on when he goes outside with a lungeline on it! i have had several things like this happened when i was younger , but i am older now and way more carefull! thank god he is ok , everybody else is ok and you two can continue you're story !!
that must have been so scary, today my horse started running off and my heart was in my mouth, so good that you kept calm and didn’t panic, good on you 👏👏
My heart was in my throat!!! Who would have thought Farouk would have taken off like that. But, like teenage boys, he was just 'feeling his oats'. Thank God he was safe! How wonderful that people came to your aid, helping you find him & making sure both he & you would be OK. Great people. Now I can take a deep breath. Blessings to you & to your naughty boy, Farouk! ♥
What on earth was he thinking? Scared you, scared him, I had to check in the comments to make sure he was OK before I could watch. What a crap way to finish such a lovely run. Glad you are both OK, mummy rescued him.
Everyone was such a help, thank God no one, including you or Farouk, were hurt
p.s. that poem fits Farouk to a T, lovely job
So glad you found him and he was not hurt. My heart sunk when I saw him bolt. I can't imagine how how you felt.
Holy Carp!! Farouk!! He is so so so lucky to not have fallen, slipped, tripped or been hit by a car, someone was looking out for him and a lost bridle is a heck of a small price to pay to what could have happened. I'd almost be tempted to either wear the a rope halter under the bridle or not take the bridle off until he was in the van. I dont know how you stayed so calm, I would have been a blethering eejit. Lucky Farouk for sure. I'm sat at my computer and I feel shocked. Well done to the lady who followed him in the van and the guy who took you out to follow him as well. Farouk did look very relieved to be caught. For sure the Prophet for looking out for his horse.
🐴🥰
Oh Tara! My heart sunk. Thank goodness that Farouk was okay. You must have been so frightened. And the kindness of strangers can be amazing.
👍
Oh my goodness Tara your heart must have been in your mouth! What nice people that helped you. Poor Farouk. Hope you had a stiff drink when you got settled at home. Big hugs❤️🇨🇦👍💕
I did!
OMG how frightening was that, l’m so relieved you got him back unharmed Tara, tfs x Julie
Poor Farouk!!!!! Thank God you found him and he was okay….no injuries and did not get hit by any vehicles!!!! 😮 So thankful he’s okay. Bless. 💙🐴🙏🏻
🐴🐴💙...Oh my! Seeing the the full extent of this video My heart is in my throat knowing I couldn't help, and seeing your distress Tara broke me down, very emotional to watch how far you were going to find him, and Yes what a Godsend that Gentleman and Woman were😇❤ Geez! Those frigging cars my God! Slow Down!😡....you said it Tara, Farouk is one Lucky Boy!...What a day that was! So nice to see the kindness that comes out in situations like this!...was a very Happy Ending!!💕(except for the loss of Farouk's Bridle) Thank you for sharing and All take care!🙏🥰🤗🐶🤎...🐴🐴💙
I remember this from earlier....an was literally filled with such anxiety until I could see him 😭😩😔😪❤ thought he was a goner for sure but a high energy athlete like Faroukles to be expected at times.... he was having a big adventure but I think he felt very fearful before he saw mum rescuing him....what thoughtful helping ✋👐 hands, what a blessing the people were that intervened for you an Faroukles...!⭐⭐⭐⭐
🏇🏼♥️
I don't know if i should cry or laugh hysterically in relief 😭😭😭
Oh Farouk you gave us all a terrible fright, you did well Tara keeping yourself under control I hope to god it never happens to me but I was fighting back the tears when you were walking back with him and yes the gates should be shut one of the basics around horses can’t tell you how relieved I am that he’s alright.
Tara I really felt for you my goodness how you kept so calm I can’t imagine especially on the walk back. I’m sure I would have sobbed all the way back with relief. So pleased no harm was done 😀
OMG Tara! What a scary experience! I'm so glad you caught him and that he wasn't injured, and there wasn't any lingering effects. Those people who helped you were so kind. He really ran quite far. He looked relieved to be walking back with you.
OMG Tara, my heart goes out for you! So many, many cars! That could have ended so badly! I am so glad you are both safe!
Karen your poem, loved it!!!!
You're right, Tara. He was being a bit naughty, but once he was off, the bridle spooked him. He is SOOOOO lucky. I get choked up at the part when you find him. He ran so far and just thinking about what could have happened 😓 Bless all the people who helped you ❤️ I would have been beside myself not knowing which direction he'd gone or if he ducked into somewhere.
After watching the event, which was a nice pace, it's amazing the speed and stamina he had to run off so far down the road! Oh Farouk, I know your mum is glad to have you home safe and sound, as are the rest of your virtual family ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Well Tara, that was the classic “bolt” Farouk bolted! Thank God that woman happened to be on the scene she kept him in place because he was going to run away again. Her experience with horses and keeping her arms out helped to keep him in place and he thought twice about dodging her. I agree with you that he panicked once he realized he was lost. Maybe that’s why he seems to be closer and hanging on to you more. Luckily he avoided a serious injury because the way those people drive anything is possible. You were amazing keeping your wits about you, tracked him down quickly and saved his behind! An exciting day to say the least. Bet you slept well that evening, lol!
♥️
sigh, well said. That woman knew her business. How to stop him and turn him around without making him feel trapped. "hey bud, this is my patch of the pavement and you need to go back the way you've came, beat it" Fortunately, he did not challenge her apparent dominance. I don't think he realized Tara was there until he focused his attention on her and stopped trying to run away.
Morning, Tara & Rens 🌞
Just watched, your latest video. Even though, this happened last month. I just wanted to say, I am so very glad to hear, that Farouk and yourself are okay 😚😚 And, a simple Thank you, for what you continue to do each day, by sharing your life with us all. You have been helping me so much, Tara 😙😙😙
Sending my love,
Melinda, from Australia ❤❤❤❤❤❤
For us just being told today..we haven't had time to decompress..Farouk is OK Tara is OK It has to be in the back of your mind. I know you will glance at the gate and weigh your options..should something happen. Just as you do when he encounters scary puddle monsters, farm equipment or white sign/flag creatures that want to JUMP out at him and take a bite. I know it's how you keep your seat like you were glued aboard. Amazing balance and anticipation of his every move! He'll have to be a very good lad for years to come to wipe this slate clean. But that is who Farouk is, he is who he is. There is not a mean bone in his body. He is just being true to his ancient bloodline. I guess, we have to accept the not so good characteristics..in order to enjoy his better traits. No different than humans!
How unbelievably scary! It was amazing how far he ran - thank goodness for the lady who stopped what she was doing to help you so unselfishly. Horse people are great. Relieved that he suffered no ill effects. Wow, my heart was in my throat watching this. Farouk, I sure hoped you learned your lesson!! You almost gave us all a heart attack!
I am so happy and relieved for Farouk and for you. So grateful that Farouk was safe at the end and only foot sore. A big nod to the horse savvy helpers. Bless them for acting so quickly. Sweet that Farouk is now cosier with you.
Wow that was epic, I do not know how you were so calm. Bless all the people who stopped everything to give you a hand. Thank goodness Farouk was ok.
Hi Tara, what an experience. Well done to all the unknown people that helped you get him back. I’m pleased that he didn’t injure himself. I’ll bet he told Apollo and Bella a good story. 🐎🌟
What an 'Oh Feck ' momen!. No one was hurt thankfully. x Always happens when you least expect it. Annoying those drivers weren't calmer and slower on your walk back they think horses can't change mood in a blink.
So glad to see him not injured and the others being g so helpful. You were blessed.
👍
So thankful that you recovered your beautiful Farouk! And no injuries. Bless him!
What a Terrible shock for you Tara, thank God he is alright and he did not collide with a Car. Bless him.
That was certainly a shocker Tara. Thank god those kind people helped you, particularly that lady who stopped him. I bet afterwards you were in more of a state. He has got to be the luckiest horse, thank God he's ok. Had it happen to me but thankfully it was on a farm & she bolted into fields. Well done to everyone there that helped you both. 😳❤❤❤❤
My. Heart. Dropped! I can only imagine the sickness you felt at that moment. All’s well that ends well thank heavens! Blessings MsTara! 🧡
Tara I was amazed at how far Farouk had run and how busy the road was. Luck was certainly on your side that day. So very pleased Farouk has had no lasting problems and that his feet have recovered. You will remember that day for a long time both for an enjoyable ride and a traumatic ending. With all best wishes. M 🐎
How many times have we all seen you take his bridle off in that same way? How many of us do the same and there have been no problems at all? Thank goodness there were no injuries and I’m so glad you’re back to normal. ❤️. The plus side. Nice new bridle 😆
Just watching for a second time, happened so quickly, he was there, then he was gone! I thought you were very calm Tara. I am sure you didn't fee too calm inside. 🐎💖
Man is he fast!!! He was down the lane and through the gate , seems like less than 5 seconds. The "King of the Wind" for sure! Well, maybe that gust of wind got the best of him, actually.
OH MY GOODNESS TARA!!! If you hadn't told us all end well, I would have cried my eyes out. I am sure your heart dropped to your feet when he ran off. But you stayed calm for his sake. I hope and pray he doesn't do that again. And a big THANKS!!!! to all of the wonderful people that helped you get him back. And for the race car drivers on the road. (SLOW DOWN)!!!! But wanted to tell you, I loved the ride. Thank you.
Bless you Tara. So scary. How easily can things go wrong with horses. So pleased you and Farouk are ok
hi from australia tara . bless you as you handled the situation well . even though inside you would have been so worried . good to see there are still good people in this world . i feel
you have boosted my thinking for the better towards the human race in general . im glad all is well .
there are some lovely people in the world😊
So scary, so glad you got him back safely and without causing an RTC.
The gate at the entrance to the box & trailer parking field should have been shut and if people needed access in & out they should have a steward gatekeeper.
The various events, hunter trials fun rides etc that I often volunteer at always keep the gate shut. There is always the risk of a loose horse.
👍🥰
God was sure watching over him. Big thanks to the man that gave you the ride and also to the woman that helped and walked back with you. Farouk is only lucky boy. Soooo glad Farouk is safe and sound. ❤️❤️❤️As always Thankyou. 👍😊
Heartfelt thanks to the man who drove you, and to the lady and the man who drove her, and the other drivers who were alert and careful, managing not to hit our Faroukles. You had to be calm to fetch him but I expect you had a reaction once he was safely in the box. Hugs.
