She really is Ruth's daughter. From the mannerism, to the speech pattern, to her freckles and hair, to the way she folds her hand and is delicate with her kitchen work. It's like seeing a younger version of her.
15 minutes of fame isn't near enough for Mr. Horse Trainer. If he's still alive and working, he needs his own series. If he's alive and retired he still needs his own series.
He was taught by the trainer based on the movie “The Horse Whisperer”. He is incredibly famous for his skills in America and does huge demonstrations all actually the country and world.
The horse taming was mesmerizing to watch. You rarely see a horse raised with humans take to the training so easily and with so little stress. Amazing. :)
That's because the trainer really understands how horses communicate. We primarily communicate verbally although we also use body language, mostly unconsciously, but horses communicate completely by body language. Oral communications (neighs, screams, nickers, and such) are used more sparingly among wild horse communities (and many domestic ones as well). If you "listen" to your horse's body language, it'll tell you a great deal about what it's thinking. Thank God I've never had to do initial training on horses because I don't have the patience for it (something that having a horse will teach you real fast, btw) but I've had horses, and still have two in my barn now, and it's all based on mutual trust and trying to understand what they're thinking. That trainer is worth his weight in platinum, forget gold. Never force a horse. They'll remember it and balk the next time you try forcing it.
That horse trainer was magical. Absolutely incredible to watch. I don't often say I'm proud of my native Tennessee, but that man represents all of the good that comes from it.
Being from Tennessee myself I will have to agree. It's rare to feel pride for TN but this guy made us look good. I swear I kept waiting on him to say "You would be much cooler if you did" like the guy from Dazed and confused.
Honestly, I was a little nervous about seeing a pony get "broken in" (I've never seen it before,) and goodness the relief to see that such a kind method was used. This was truly incredible!
Usually american trainers are just shit. This was a beautiful to see, I was exepting the worst tbh when I see a yankee riding to the scene to train a horse. Sadly he uses a bit tho. I have never needed a bit on any horse.
That horse expert was an amazing trainer. He also taught the guys everything he was doing to help them with working with animals in the future. The way that pony trusted him so thoroughly and completely by the end of the afternoon was just mind blowing.
So enjoying this humane horse-breaking. "It's always great when a customer's happy." It's also always great when the horse is happy. Fantastic episode.
It was a bit special, wasn't it? Peter and Alex were visibly- and understandably- amazed. This + the adorable little lambs + the little chicks at the end = the most feelgood episode so far! ( I know those baby animals will end up on the dinner table at some point...but I will forget that for a minute and just bask in the cuteness!)
@@3leggedsharkkickssurferinballs Not all lambs will end up on the table. I always assess my lambs and pick out the ones I think will be good breed stock, both girls and boys, either for replacements for older animals or for sale to other farmers. I agree with you that this was one of the most feel good episodes so far. I really enjoyed it. I always enjoy the shows where they're working with sheep. Sometimes I laugh at their attempts because I've been there, done that, made that mistake, but mostly I like the lambs. It is a truly amazing, in the fullest sense of the word, feeling when you've just pulled a lamb from a difficult delivery and they take that first breath and totter to their feet. So satisfying to be a part of that.
@@LauraS1 Yeah, I know. I should've perhaps qualified it with a "probably" ( or a "possibly'? ). I just meant, y'know, the realities of farm life is that many of them end up eaten ( not just the lambies, but the chickens, pigs, etc). I grew up on farms, but we never had sheep- we always had cows ( dairy). I'd always get so attached to the calves
DANG! I have never seen an ACTUAL horse whisperer until now. I am gobsmacked he made that much progress with Lad in one afternoon. I burst out laughing when Ruth's egg she was blowing exploded :-) What an incredible series: Thank you Absolute History.
As a sheep farmer, I always love the segments where they're working with sheep, especially lambing. Peter says "It has to be one of the most rewarding jobs there is in the countryside" and I have to agree. Yes, during lambing season, which can last several months if you didn't manage your breeding timing right, you get little or no sleep if you're working for yourself or just you and your spouse, but when you get a lamb out and it takes that first breath and totters to its feet, THAT is really satisfying. Then again, it can be a terrible time as well if you have a ewe with complications, which I've had. One year, we lost literally half our lambs to malpresentation at birth (coming out backward or breech or being too large or what have you). I cried a lot, especially when I couldn't save them even with CPR (and yes, I have put my mouth on a nasty lamb fresh from its mother, trying to save its life and usually succeeded). I've been up to my elbow in a sheep trying to turn her baby around so it can come out and I have also had to dig dead ones out when they died in utero (a really disgusting job as they're usually starting to decompose by the time you find them). It's a hard but rewarding way of life, farming.
@@themadplotter Oh man are they cute. LOL When they're still babies, they're cuter than anything has a right to be. Then they grow up to be teenagers and that's when you want to put some sauce on them and whip out the knife and fork. I had one older lamb that liked to bash through my fences and escape. She'd come back in but she'd bash a new hole each time she reentered the barnyard. Yes, I got new fences but I also had her butchered and labeled separately from my other lambs so I could enjoy every bite of her. I did. LOL It's good to be the top of the food chain.
@@mrandrews3616 Actually, you'd be surprised at what you can do. Each of us has our own skill set and can usually learn new things. I bet if you came to the country and learned how to farm, you'd do okay with it like the rest of us.
You mean BREAKING their SPIRIT by ENSLAVING them and NEVER letting see their family/loved-ones ever ever again and kept in complete isolation from their own kind? Them, a HERD species who’re SOCIAL creatures by nature? Yeah “kind” that’s the word.. 🙄
@@sweetcherry7759 well said. They NEVER think of the animal, ljust what THEY want, totally narcissistic, selfish, a-hole humans. And there's much worse than this.
The newborn lambs remind me of a lamb we got one year when I was a child, my dad was working on the road near another farm and there was a small lamb, the lambs mother had died (giving birth to it I think) and it was still drinking from it's mothers body, the farmer offered us the lamb otherwise he was going to put it down, we took her home and my dad had to rear her from a bottle he held under his thigh, she grew huge the size of a horse (a large pony not even an exaggeration, she was massive) we'd get several huge black sack rubbish bags of wool off her each time we sheared her. She lived really old and never had lambs of her own but she was very happy, even once ate an entire passion fruit vine (it never grew back). The daffodils as well were something we grew a lot of when I was a kid growing up on farms, live in towns now and i'd forgotten about daffodils and the sheep, it's nice to remember them again. I've been remembering a lot of memories watching this series (I sound old i'm not, late 20s but it all feels a lifetime ago so distant) :)
WRITE THEM DOWN! WRITE THEM DOWN! On paper, not on an electronic device. Especially write down names of friends, relatives, bosses, etc.; things you're prone to forget. In 40 years you'll be more than glad you did it; I wish I had, especially names.

A lot has changed for us in our lifetimes. I remember licking the cream off the top of the paper lids on our daily delivery of glass milk bottles. I also remember helping my mom launder my sister's cloth diapers we used with safety pins. It makes me sound like I was born in 1932 but I'm 35.
@@rebbekahcannons9805 @sage green may I ask where you two are from/grew up? I am also 35, but most of these things were long past where I was raised. (Semi rural Michigan )
My two favorite parts are when they were honest enough to tell us that they wouldn't be using the open-flame incubator (although they pretended that they'd used it later) and when the whisperer said that he'd never had a horse lie to him.
@Siena Rose yes that basically what they did. They mimicked the box but left out the flame so as to not risk burning down a valuable historic building.
This episode is an extra treat for me. My great grandfather was a station chief in the late 1800s and now I better understand what he did. The railway provided a house next to the train station, too. My grandfather and his sister were born in it.
If you haven't already seen it there's another set of 4 documentaries that focus on the restoration of 4 train cars from history and it goes through a ton of the history! You should check them out! I think they're produced by the same channel!
It was really sweet seeing him find trust in the pony through patience and kindness. Just knowing that many horses/ponies back then (And now) are taught with harshness is saddening. I am starting to understand people's love for horses because that was a beautiful moment they shared. Such a great episode.
As someone who lives in Tennessee, the horse trainer reminds me of my late friend’s father - the epitome of all good things in Tennessee. Bravo to him. Needs his own show for sure
I love the commitment to immersion in these series. They’ve dressed everyone immaculately, the countryside looks so unspoiled, just everything is period perfection. ❤️
This was such a great episode, has me really looking forward to the next one. As an American i never realized shows like this even exist, it's been a pleasure to watch.
The BBC originally made this series as well as the Tales from Green Valley, Tudor Monastery Farm, Victorian Pharmacy, Edwardian Farm and wartime Farm. You can find them all on UA-cam If you searched around a little bit. They are about a decade old but really awesome
This was such a nice episode to watch, especially in the middle of a cold snap in the American Midwest. Daffodils, lambs, steam trains, dyed eggs, baby chicks, cute little Dartmoor ponies. . .such a wonderful combination in one episode! And that horse trainer was AMAZING!
I wish we had more shows like this, recreating the old days for all to see and perhaps find something they would love; history has something for everyone.
The only selection for closed captions I have available is “auto-generated”. Did u have another choice for that setting? (Or did the previous episodes uploaded lack even the auto-generated option?)
@@ArtOfficialKreations first few didnt have any that i could find. Autogen or otherwise. and sure the autogenerated CC isnt exactly accurate but it is helpful and sometimes hilarious.
I am really loving this series so far but this episode is right up there with the birthing of the lambs and the pony training/breaking. Fantastic! Ruth, your laugh is highly infectious!!!
Not sure if your familiar with horse training and what it’s called but the term breaking isn’t really used anymore as it has direct ties to the old (and still used sometimes) abusive techniques to literally break a horses spirit. Starting is the new word to describe it.
I love that you guys are uploading all the farm videos! I've started showing my kids (7 and 15) and they love it! I hope one day someone can upload or make available "Turn Back Time: The family" videos. That was another most excellent show that you cannot find now (in the united states anyway) in any shape, form or fashion, aside from a couple of poor quality uploads to youtube.
18:15 Peter loves animals so much-I think he feels uncomfortable when real farmers talk about selling them for meat in such a matter-of-fact fashion, but he understands that it's their livelihood. (It was evident to me earlier in the episode and several times on the Victorian farm, especially with the piggies.)
Poor guy his face reads lika a book he is an archeologist studied the long dead Egypt- to see him say-too lovely creatures about meat calves standing in muck-makes me want to give the kid a hug&say you're doing a good job&these are rare breeds maybe no more off to market while you R there-doing a good job-it's ok to care
It's pretty obvious from watching every season that the pigs (and especially the piglets) are his favorite things about the experience. I was scared in the WWII season that they would have to give up the pigs and that he would quit lol
@@MS-df2fk Oh c'mon. You know those "culled" animals were just being sent off to another farm for the duration of filming. And honestly, except as zoo pieces, if everyone went vegan those domestic animals would be extinct in a generation.
Horse Whisperer he Truly is! I've owned horses myself throughout my entire life and they are majestic animals to be admired and respected (been kicked and stepped on many times, it's Not fun). This man is absolutely stunning to watch in his interaction with this horse. I practiced the power of such techniques as he performed here through a trainer and implemented this treatment with every one. No sense in roughness, their sensitivity is so intense. Great results every time, it's how I worked with all my horses at all times, horses sense your energy in the way you move your body towards them and I'm a 5' 2" woman controlling a beast, dead accurate!! Excellent job to this man and greetings to you and yours from your neighbor, Bama!
My dad was a horse whisperer He had a magic with all horses They would do anything for him ! He had had that ability since he was a lil boy on the farm.
Watching the American horse whisperer was absolutely amazing. I've seen another trainer here in America ( a woman) who is very much like him. You can get beautiful results with communicating and understanding of your horse. Bravo!
23:50 this is the most American scene in British history Edit, it's at 38:14. I stand corrected. The gentleman from Tennessee makes me proud as an American. An emotionally intelligent, empathetic, gentle soul who understands animals needs and wants, and seeks their trust and a partnership with them, rather than just using animals as tools. What a wonderful man. Blessed with a soothing, calming voice, as well, no wonder he's so good with horses.
Lol-I wasn't expecting the pink bandanna, but there's a man who feels free to express himself and is some kind of wizard. (p.s. I'm not implying that he's gay-it wouldn't bother me in the least. I just didn't think pink when I heard Spaghetti Western music a-playing and saw the cowboy hat.)
@@annika_panicka There are different meanings in colored bandanas that go back to the 1800's to modern times. In His case, it could be a spiritual color or maybe He's a Cancer supporter. It's unlikely He's wearing it on this show to insinuate His sexual preferences, lol!
@@Bizarro2024Lol-I said I wasn't implying he was gay (not that I would care) and I meant it-I just wasn't expecting pink. You're probably right about breast cancer. If it were in the USA, that would have been my first thought. Anyway, he's an amazing person. I'll have to watch this again.
Loved these, and the Victorian Pharmacy series. Please tell me you're bringing us the Victorian Farm series soon! And, the 1900s house, etc! Loved those.
In case you're not aware, they have brought the Victorian Farm series to the channel. Although, there are some audio issues (music too loud making it difficult to hear narration), but they're in the process of having this fixed.
We are just as far north as you, we are on the same line of latitude. It's only the gulf stream that stops it being so cold. It still goes dark at 3pm till 8am in December
So crazy to think my great grandfather was alive during this time! My own children are blessed to have their great grandmother in their lives! So wild to think she was born almost 85 years before their birth! Amazing
Been binging these for 2 days straight (started with Tudor Farm, then Victorian, then the castle, now this one), and got so used to British accents that when the American came in he sounded weird. And I'm American myself. 😳
I greatly enjoy this series. It is history coming to life. This was such a fun episode to watch, there was so much joy in watching the fruit of their labors come to life.
Oh, the way the trains operated with such strictness of procedure is amazing! The herding of ponies brought back memories of herding, separating, inoculating, tagging, preg checking...of cattle on the farm as a child. Nothing wonderful about that, at all! It was muddy, cold, wet, thankless hard work, and if you weren’t careful you could be run down by belligerent animals. The horse whispering was very interesting.
Cadbury creme eggs and their mini eggs are better than the robin's eggs shaped malt balls. Never liked hard boiled eggs rather have them scrambled and cooked vamoose(probably spelled that wrong sorry to the french people watching) or dog snot style; which is little curds of eggs in a veil of slightly coagulated eggs(salt and pepper it's delicious)
As an American I was very pleased to hear some Copeland. It is fascinating this trip back in time. I'm pretty much off grid so I would love to live such a style. Fascinating. Kudos to you all
@@caitlinboycher8596 It's my favorite of the three because I knew so little about tenant farmer and monastic life in England in 1500 (ok-much of any kind of life anywhere in 1500). And I've heard tell of a Stuart-era one called "Tales from the Green Valley." (2005) It is on UA-cam (USA) but maybe at this moment not through Absolute History. Here's episode 1 of 12. Hope it works! ua-cam.com/video/dRj1YYnsBGk/v-deo.html
The Peter and Alex Whisperer... They were entranced. The Whisperer would have had them teamed up to pull the plow in ten minutes. I'll bet he revived all their boyhood cowboy fantasies!
Eggs need to be turned regularly in order to hatch properly. A penciled X on them helps you know which ones you've turned. The yolk can attach to the shell, dry out and die and oops no chick.
Our Garden was famous for a broad stripe of daffodils that run through the whole of it. People came from everywhere to just look at them. And if someone asked nicely we even gave some for free. But then a kind of blight killed all of them...😭

This was such a great episode, has me really looking forward to the next one. As an American i never realized shows like this even exist, it's been a pleasure to watch.
The BBC originally made this series as well as the Tales from Green Valley, Tudor Monastery Farm, Victorian Pharmacy, Edwardian Farm and wartime Farm. You can find them all on UA-cam If you searched around a little bit. They are about a decade old but really awesome
Man, my grandpa would've loved the train segment. Along with this whole series-- I think he would've fit right in. He was a practicing blacksmith too.
Loved seeing the pony get trained! He seemed to catch on fairly quickly, and was doing such a good job!
How sweet! One of my favorites so far. Happy Ruth, Peter, and Alex with cute animals, what's better?
This was such a nice episode to watch, especially in the middle of a cold snap in the American Midwest. Daffodils, lambs, steam trains, dyed eggs, baby chicks, cute little Dartmoor ponies. . .such a wonderful combination in one episode! And that horse trainer was AMAZING!
I wish we had more shows like this, recreating the old days for all to see and perhaps find something they would love; history has something for everyone.
Alex the landscape archaeologist blames hidden features on wonky plowing gotta love it
“How to make poultry pay” my mind took this in a very dark direction and I had a fantastic laugh. 🤣
"pay up chicken or I'll break ya beak" *angry gesture*
Lol I pictured Family Guy, Peter’s fight with the chicken. 🤣🤣😂😂
thanks for having the closed captioning ready on this one. volume issues make it vital to use CC.
The only selection for closed captions I have available is “auto-generated”. Did u have another choice for that setting? (Or did the previous episodes uploaded lack even the auto-generated option?)
@@ArtOfficialKreations first few didnt have any that i could find. Autogen or otherwise. and sure the autogenerated CC isnt exactly accurate but it is helpful and sometimes hilarious.
I am really loving this series so far but this episode is right up there with the birthing of the lambs and the pony training/breaking. Fantastic! Ruth, your laugh is highly infectious!!!
Not sure if your familiar with horse training and what it’s called but the term breaking isn’t really used anymore as it has direct ties to the old (and still used sometimes) abusive techniques to literally break a horses spirit. Starting is the new word to describe it.
I love that you guys are uploading all the farm videos! I've started showing my kids (7 and 15) and they love it! I hope one day someone can upload or make available "Turn Back Time: The family" videos. That was another most excellent show that you cannot find now (in the united states anyway) in any shape, form or fashion, aside from a couple of poor quality uploads to youtube.
As someone from Tennessee, I thoroughly enjoyed the horse trainer segment... and how theatrical the Brits made his entrance
18:15 Peter loves animals so much-I think he feels uncomfortable when real farmers talk about selling them for meat in such a matter-of-fact fashion, but he understands that it's their livelihood. (It was evident to me earlier in the episode and several times on the Victorian farm, especially with the piggies.)
Poor guy his face reads lika a book he is an archeologist studied the long dead Egypt- to see him say-too lovely creatures about meat calves standing in muck-makes me want to give the kid a hug&say you're doing a good job&these are rare breeds maybe no more off to market while you R there-doing a good job-it's ok to care
It's pretty obvious from watching every season that the pigs (and especially the piglets) are his favorite things about the experience. I was scared in the WWII season that they would have to give up the pigs and that he would quit lol
@@MS-df2fk Oh c'mon. You know those "culled" animals were just being sent off to another farm for the duration of filming. And honestly, except as zoo pieces, if everyone went vegan those domestic animals would be extinct in a generation.
He really loves each one of them. He’s such a sweet, gentle man.
54:50 chicks
I just love this show. Please continue filming, it's so comforting/calming/entertaining/informative ♥
Agreed. This has become my new comfort background TV while studying or doing homework.
I feel like we all wanted to be that horse a little bit 😭 like shit that was so relaxing, I need someone to lead me in life like that
Read the bible for yourself. Not what others say about it. Peace comes from knowing that God is directing your steps.
@@angelwhispers2060 💛💖🙏🦄🙏💖💛
These re-enactments are so educational!
One of my favorite episodes so far in this series. Love seeing the little lambs and the horse training. Beautiful to watch.
That horse trainer is what every horseman should aspire to be.
I spoke way too soon - the horse trainer was obviously the very best part!!! Makes an American proud! Thank you!!
That pony trainer was phenomenal
Horse Whisperer he Truly is! I've owned horses myself throughout my entire life and they are majestic animals to be admired and respected (been kicked and stepped on many times, it's Not fun). This man is absolutely stunning to watch in his interaction with this horse. I practiced the power of such techniques as he performed here through a trainer and implemented this treatment with every one. No sense in roughness, their sensitivity is so intense. Great results every time, it's how I worked with all my horses at all times, horses sense your energy in the way you move your body towards them and I'm a 5' 2" woman controlling a beast, dead accurate!! Excellent job to this man and greetings to you and yours from your neighbor, Bama!
I love the joy and energy of Ruth
My dad was a horse whisperer He had a magic with all horses They would do anything for him ! He had had that ability since he was a lil boy on the farm.
Pretty sure he just tamed all the audience as well as lad. 😍
I, for one, did feel mesmerized the entire time he went through the taming
Watching him work made me so relaxed and sleepy 😍
Watching the American horse whisperer was absolutely amazing. I've seen another trainer here in America ( a woman) who is very much like him. You can get beautiful results with communicating and understanding of your horse. Bravo!
“He wants to trot, that’s fine. Express yourself!”😂
23:50 this is the most American scene in British history
Edit, it's at 38:14. I stand corrected.
The gentleman from Tennessee makes me proud as an American. An emotionally intelligent, empathetic, gentle soul who understands animals needs and wants, and seeks their trust and a partnership with them, rather than just using animals as tools. What a wonderful man. Blessed with a soothing, calming voice, as well, no wonder he's so good with horses.
I absolutely agree. The trainer is absolutely great and so gentle with the animal.
The simnel cake brought back so many memories. Haven’t had simnel cake for years. Beautifully cooked by Ruth’s daughter.
"express yourself" 😭 so cute
That man was deep
This has been one of my most favorite episodes in the whole farm series. Absolutely wonderful!! Life can be smelled by watching this!
“A horse trainer from Tennessee.” The Clint Eastwood-like music! HAHAHA
Lol-I wasn't expecting the pink bandanna, but there's a man who feels free to express himself and is some kind of wizard.
(p.s. I'm not implying that he's gay-it wouldn't bother me in the least. I just didn't think pink when I heard Spaghetti Western music a-playing and saw the cowboy hat.)
Merica
@@pumpkin781 That's where the mystical cowboy's from, Little Lady. [Where's his reality show? I'd watch that in a💗-beat.] 🔮🐴🇺🇸
@@annika_panicka There are different meanings in colored bandanas that go back to the 1800's to modern times. In His case, it could be a spiritual color or maybe He's a Cancer supporter. It's unlikely He's wearing it on this show to insinuate His sexual preferences, lol!
@@Bizarro2024Lol-I said I wasn't implying he was gay (not that I would care) and I meant it-I just wasn't expecting pink. You're probably right about breast cancer. If it were in the USA, that would have been my first thought. Anyway, he's an amazing person. I'll have to watch this again.
I love the archeologist geeking out over the items from the field.
Twinkle is so precious
that horse trainer was amazing
"There's a slight kink in the field." 😂 😂 😂
Typical make excuse its not me its the tools ore the material 😊😊😊
That had me in hysterics, such a ridiculous but totally male response. Every one cutting up in the background was funny.
I had a dumb happy smile on my face from start to finish! :) thanks for this great series. I wish I can experience this one day
Oh my god, that horse trainer is amazing.
Lambing is miraculous. Such tender mama's and sturdy babies..they are absolutely beautiful!
The shots of the horse trainer riding in and riding out again are so amazing. They really pitched a whole spin-off show with that camera work.
What a beautiful episode!! Kudos to the production team & all the resources that have kindly & ever so gracefully showcased their arts & sciences.
This is an almost magical episode so much happiness, playfulness and enjoyment. My fav episode 😍
Hearing the western music with a Tennessee trainer is hilarious. Tennessee isn’t the “west” to those of us who live nearby 😂
Lol-and he was riding with an English saddle, although he was wearing a cowboy hat and boots and that pink bandanna
Loved these, and the Victorian Pharmacy series. Please tell me you're bringing us the Victorian Farm series soon! And, the 1900s house, etc! Loved those.
One Utube but no captions
In case you're not aware, they have brought the Victorian Farm series to the channel. Although, there are some audio issues (music too loud making it difficult to hear narration), but they're in the process of having this fixed.
I cant get enough of this show!!
As a Canadian, it’s hard not to chuckle about their idea of a hard and bleak winter. :)
We are just as far north as you, we are on the same line of latitude. It's only the gulf stream that stops it being so cold. It still goes dark at 3pm till 8am in December
@@tweetypie1978 I get it. But it’s not cold there.
The horse trainer was incredible!
So crazy to think my great grandfather was alive during this time! My own children are blessed to have their great grandmother in their lives! So wild to think she was born almost 85 years before their birth! Amazing
I really enjoy my history, thank you so much for brining these videos to us.
Spring is in the air, and boy does it show! Everyone’s spirits are rising and things are going well on the farm. Thoroughly enjoyed this episode.
I could have watched a whole episode of the horse training!
Ruth’s daughter is just like her, it’s so sweet
I want the horse trainer to be my grandfather so I can learn all the things he knows
Been binging these for 2 days straight (started with Tudor Farm, then Victorian, then the castle, now this one), and got so used to British accents that when the American came in he sounded weird.
And I'm American myself. 😳
That pony or the cowboy or both are marvelous.
Peter’s love of animals will always make him my crush 😊
I greatly enjoy this series. It is history coming to life. This was such a fun episode to watch, there was so much joy in watching the fruit of their labors come to life.
Oh, the way the trains operated with such strictness of procedure is amazing!
The herding of ponies brought back memories of herding, separating, inoculating, tagging, preg checking...of cattle on the farm as a child. Nothing wonderful about that, at all! It was muddy, cold, wet, thankless hard work, and if you weren’t careful you could be run down by belligerent animals.
The horse whispering was very interesting.
The ambience is absolutely perfect! I felt like transported to another century!
In the US we still "paint" eggs. We usually just hard-boil them then dye. Alot easier.
I never realized that wasn't a thing elsewhere! I love me some post-Easter egg salad sandwiches
@@claremurphy5901 It is a thing in most of Europe. I found the whole chocolate egg thing bizarre 😂
Cadbury creme eggs and their mini eggs are better than the robin's eggs shaped malt balls. Never liked hard boiled eggs rather have them scrambled and cooked vamoose(probably spelled that wrong sorry to the french people watching) or dog snot style; which is little curds of eggs in a veil of slightly coagulated eggs(salt and pepper it's delicious)
As an American I was very pleased to hear some Copeland. It is fascinating this trip back in time. I'm pretty much off grid so I would love to live such a style. Fascinating. Kudos to you all
Love, love, love 💘these drama documentaries!
Love all of these , thank you so much! You go Ruth, my hero!
This is a really nice series. Im enjoying the Tudor one as well. Very likable people.
It was originally film by BBC. A bunch of other UA-camrs have uploaded it to
There’s a Tudor one? I must take note!
@@caitlinboycher8596 It's my favorite of the three because I knew so little about tenant farmer and monastic life in England in 1500 (ok-much of any kind of life anywhere in 1500). And I've heard tell of a Stuart-era one called "Tales from the Green Valley." (2005) It is on UA-cam (USA) but maybe at this moment not through Absolute History. Here's episode 1 of 12. Hope it works! ua-cam.com/video/dRj1YYnsBGk/v-deo.html
I love that pony hr is so beautiful and that trainer is so great at his job.
Eve looks like her Mum. My daughter also looks like me. Mums and daughters, there is a special connection there.
The Peter and Alex Whisperer... They were entranced. The Whisperer would have had them teamed up to pull the plow in ten minutes. I'll bet he revived all their boyhood cowboy fantasies!
Eggs need to be turned regularly in order to hatch properly. A penciled X on them helps you know which ones you've turned. The yolk can attach to the shell, dry out and die and oops no chick.
Beautiful spring and the horse taming
I love this series and would love to be Ruth & Eve's apprentice! 🥰
Thank you! Seat🏔tle
Our Garden was famous for a broad stripe of daffodils that run through the whole of it.
People came from everywhere to just look at them.
And if someone asked nicely we even gave some for free.
But then a kind of blight killed all of them...😭
