There are times I’m sure people don’t believe me when I tell them how dangerous he was…

- One thing that’s become very evident since we started uploading to UA-cam is that 90% of viewers, don’t read our descriptions.
We get a lot of people coming at us for ‘click bait’ and other accusations that would have been solved by simply READING THE DESCRIPTION
But for those who do; thank you! You truly have no idea how much I appreciate that you take that time to read this.
We’ve had some comments asking for more Rudnik stories and today I don’t have the energy for a voiceover so I figured I’d throw a summary of our progress over the years over the footage from yesterdays.
Also, I don’t know about you, but some days I just love hearing the sounds of nature, the squeaky leather saddle, the brushes, horses, all of it. And throwing my raspy voice over that feels wrong because the sounds of nature can be so calming and my voice - not so much 😂
But if you don’t want to read the captions that’s totally fine too! You can just enjoy the video for what it is - a day in our life!
Such a beautiful horse. Your tender love and patience has made the difference with this handsome boy! Well done! Thank you!
The 'breakthrough' and 'aha' moments make good stories but don't lay the true foundation of trust. Those moments of you sitting there, of him making overtures then moving away are like the stones in place for a house foundation. What you have is solid. What you have is what most people wish for. I'm glad you found Rudnik and he found you.
It’s good that you refused the quick fix because you have a better horse for choosing to be gentle and loving. He does the things you ask of him without a bit, without having to kick him in the ribs, or without being hit with a crop. He gets into place and stands for you to mount because you ask. He raises his feet to be cleaned or have his hooves trimmed because you ask. There is love between you that well may not have been there if you’d done the quick fix. You should be extremely proud of yourself for standing your ground. You have an excellent horse because of it.
Liked reading your post♡
This is how all animals should be raised, humanely, kindly.
I do a lot of animal rescue work and have never met an animal that can't be healed or their "bad behavior" fixed.
All they need is a stable, safe environment.

@@user-jo5ml8et1zand I honor and love you for rescuing the animals 🥰 I donate to several rescue animals they don’t always get the attention they deserve. Angel Blessings 🕊🥰
The comment, “rested his head on my belly and he knew before I did” made me tear up! Animals are the absolute BEST. Keeping you both in my thoughts and prayers as you experience new ways of being: motherhood, juggling all the things. ❤
You have shown him love and respect. That’s the most important part.
Darlin' you, Rudnik and B. don't HAVE to be "special" or "rich" or have a fancy stable... You have love, and that is worth EVERYTHING else!
I’m sure that I’m not the only one who is enjoying your videos as you see fit to share with us .
Thank you for sharing them 🥰
I remember when I first started to follow you……just sitting there, hoping that he would come just a little bit closer than he did yesterday. I don’t know his background but he’s was more scared of you than you of him! He had to know he could trust you before he let you get anywhere near him…….to know that you weren’t going to harm him. I’m glad that you didn’t listen to those that wanted you to send him away……there is only ONE voice you need to listen to, and that’s the one deep inside you. You,and only you, know what’s best for you……and him! The difference in just the time I have been watching is nothing short of a miracle. In 5 years you took a horse that nobody wanted to one that anyone would simply LOVE to have. You deserve so much credit for the effort…AND patience that you put into the relationship and it has paid off a thousand-fold. I hope you have many,many great years together and God bless you and your growing family! I so look forward to your videos each and every day!😊😊😊😊
Great words... and I too look forward to these updates
Jambecom6519, Your words are eloquently spoken from the heart 💜you made me drop tears, you are a beautiful soul ☺️
A wonderful story of the struggles you both had to go through, but wow look at you both now, what friendship and trust each of you have for one and other, beautiful.
I’m hooked on watch your posts. I have never had an association with a horse or a true horse lover and owner but enjoy watching this. It makes me want to pet a horse! I only have a few subscriptions but yours is a keeper. I have enjoyed watching this beautiful animal and the love and care you give him. Looking forward to Rudnik meeting your child!
I'll have to go watch earlier videos. Rudnik seems so bonded with you now and he's a gorgeous horse
It’s really amazing to see the progress he’s made! It’s hard to believe it’s even the same horse
I am so glad he has friends now! I love him so!
seemed like a nice day and you both had fun riding
along in cooler fall air...good Rudnik &
a happy horse story...getting a routine together 🏞
I did not see the paint with the group at the start of the video... I am glad he was with a group tho.
It was your great patience, taking those baby steps, that got you here. You have created a very unique bond with Rudnik. I am amazed at how far he has come. This is all you! Thank you for sharing these bits with us.
I started riding horses solo off into the foothills when I was eight. (I’m in my 70s now) I have always been aware of how intuitively aware and sensitive they are. They can actually hear your heartbeat and feel your emotions. All the years I rode and interacted with horses, I have never been harmed or disappointed in them! They are totally amazing creatures!! ❤
That patience you've learned will help with the baby too.
Patience, love and consistency have paid off. As many said in the comments, what you did built a strong foundation and thtat's why you have the amazing horse you do. That'll also make you an awosome mum. I cannot wait to watch the videos of rudnik and your little one if you ever dicide to make them.
Adding a second comment bc it helps the channel & to also say read the descriptions folks it really doesn’t take that long and many times you can find great info from them depending on the channel and what a video is about. I also personally enjoy reading the ones from here bc Aleshia’s sense of humor really shines through (at least I think so 🤭😅)and often taking time to read the whole thing helps with context I’m not sure why more people don’t read them;also just a gentle reminder being kind costs nothing & choosing supportive,genuine words that come from that place of kindness can absolutely lift others up,making their day better there is already enough drama & negativity in this world let’s be some of the humans who are the opposite & follow Rudnik & his mama’s lead(I know there’s lots of good hearted humans on here so nobody come for me)🐎🤗🦋🖤💙
Well said 😊
I have never had anything to do with a horse, but I can say going slow and taking the time to build the trust is only way to really get a good bond with any animal.. From my time working rehab for a no kill shelter with cats, then having rescued dogs...
I like reading them, then I go back and watch it and just enjoy the beauty of the horse, horses, scenery and how a good rider she is!
Reminds me of silent movies? 😅
I love watching your channel. Rudnik is a beautiful horse. And the bond between you two is so beautiful too ❤️. I loved after she screamed at him he yawned like whatever 🤣🤣🤣. I look forward to your Dailey videos with him. I’m so glad he’s finally settling in with the new herd. My heart went out to you and him as I could tell it was hard on you both. 🥰❤️
What a beautifully reflective piece!
P.S. Your voice along with the sounds of nature and Rudnik's snorts make an integrated presentation.
He’s calmed down as you’ve built respect through showing kindness and patience. Now he regards you with trust. You’ve done a great job with him. 😊
I’m not necessarily a “horse person” in that I have no experience with them, but I am very much an animal person, and I absolutely love these videos (and I always read the description 😉). Thank you for sharing Rudnik with us all.
It sounds like you not only had to build his trust in you, but rebuild his trust in people altogether! You did it with love and patience. I'm afraid "breaking" him would have only served to deepen his mistrust of humans. You've achieved absolute trust and respect and it's mutual. I don't mind the captions, it does allow us to hear what's going on around you as you interact with Rudnik.
“Ma….you’re embarrassing me in front of my friends! I will come over to you in a minute.”😊😊😊
I think you're going to be a good mom
It is heartwarming to see the relationship of trust and dare I say love that exists between Rednik and you. And although I know that Rednik knows that you are pregnant and consequently takes care of you when you are riding, nevertheless I cannot dispel all feelings of anxiety for the occurrence of the unexpected: some sudden happening that would scare Rudnik into a reaction that could possibly dismount you with disastrous results. So please, please take care.
Love these storytime Vids! Captions are fine, so ignore the lazy people who want to hear the story, and possibly not see Rudnik's great work in the arena!
And yes, I saw the Mare telling him off too, poor Rudnik just wanna be friends, but the mares are a bit snooty and maybe jealous of his coat color!
I believe you because I have a similar story and my ultimate goal is similar but probably less attainable at least as far as having a home and horse. And I had someone say"that's quite a story" as though maybe they doubted it. What possible reason would I make it up? And I know horses when they're afraid can be aggressive, but if they figure out you mean them no hurt or harm, they can be very forgiving. I really hope you get your home with a place for Rudnik.
I'm deeply touched, that right from the beginning, your commitment of being patient and loving to Rudnick.
I’m so thankful you didn’t listen to those people and that you didn’t give up on him!! Love love love ❤️
He’s gotta be the cool guy!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful Rudnick
I love how you care for him. ❤
Dot be so hard on yourself. Just enjoy rudnik. And have a great family life with Bf and your child to be. You ll remember the good times abd not the difficult start 5 years ago. Keep looking ahead 👍
YOU DID EVERYTHING JUST RIGHT!!!!!
I see how outgoing Rudnick IS. HE wants some coffee, too! Closes the door on you, and runs after you and your other half exactly how 2 horses would do!!!
Enjoyed this beautiful video. Love getting to appreciate his personality and love the gentleness
You two make such a good team - and you're both beautiful in and out!!!
Reading about Rudnik’s story & going back through some previous videos when I first started watching you guys absolutely made me cry & my heart broke for this boy & what he endured at the hands of some not so good 2 leggeds,I truly love rescues bc even though they take more time to open up and realize that not all humans in the world will hurt them once you’ve broken down their walls and earned their trust they will give you their entire heart and soul. I feel like Rudnik has every right to not trust & to even be angry at everyone bc of how he was treated yet with your loving touch,time and your pure open heart you showed him that life could be amazing,that he’d always be safe and loved with you and nobody would ever hurt him again so thank you for giving him this.🐎💙🥹🖤
I enjoy your text comments and your stories and progress with Rudnik. You are an awesome team. Impressed too how well balanced you are on him at the trot and canter with your pregnancy. Keep up with your videos. They make my day.
I am hearing impaired as I'm sure there are many others, so we appreciate the captions. ❤ I enjoy watching your journey. I do hope your UA-cam channel expands greatly so you can get your own land and begin building a herd. Maybe you can eventually train and board horses and teach riding lessons to others, especially children and young adults. ❤
I um think he had to wait until “it” went down before he could walk over to you lol
😂🥲
It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks or says, you have the most amazing friendship and you both worked hard for it. Very inspiring to this wannabe horse girl.... Some day❤
I agree with you, when a animal is broken. Only time of just showing up will help them heal... I never been near a horse but my mom and my self worked with cats as a rehab home for a no kill shelter... There was some cats just change bandages and watch them heal, while some cats was wild or abused.. One cat I knew we would be getting while I was at school hard a trauma by group of kids and males. We had like 12 mid sized cages for like Labs with a cat carrier in there.. Well I would change the food and water for that one then let it see me spend time with the rest of the cats letting 1 out at a time, brushing and what I could with them... Then at the end I would open that cats dog cage door up and I would sit on the floor doing my homework next to the door... It taken me a while but in time that cat got to cuddle up with me as a 14 year old.... So ya I know it can take a while and be very slow progress when working with animals... I am sooooo glad you just did not send him away as I would think all that time you invested in building that trust set the foundation for the bond you got with him now...
I do like reading your words on the screen
Me too.
@@julieobrien4056I love hearing the nature, wind and soft hooves on the sand. It's very therapeutic With captions.
We are thankful for you. I have been around horses I have a lot of to learn this is the very reason I find your videos relaxing educational you are filling us in a little at a time as to what you have experienced. I am new haven’t been watching long I do enjoy, thank you for sharing. The best is yet to come to see how the horse reacts to the baby. I don’t know I would guess the horse would have a different way of acting now were it is around other horses? ❤
I can’t imagine what it would be like to have a 1500 pound animal angry with me.
It’s scary!
I like just the natural sounds too. I am not a much of a horse person. In fact they kind of scare me. I but I really enjoy your videos! Thanks! Joy S from Northern Indiana
Thank You for the Talk! Wonderful.
I heard the banging of the snap on the gate! He has selective hearing! He made you a better trainer, my old mare (28) taught me a lot.
Yayyyy It’s Rudnik time. I get u were frustrated in the beginning with how things were progressing and you were 2nd guessing yourself but I can tell you what I’ve learned from raising and training horses IT TAKES AS LONG AS IT TAKES. That’s the best advice I can give anyone. It’s not like days gone by where we broke horses to our will. Now the training is a partnership. That takes time. YOU persevered and stayed in there. Now look. You to are amazing. IT TAKES AS LONG AS IT TAKES 🥰
I LIKE the captions.
He got friends now mom, why are you messing it up?
This is the relationship against which all others will be measured. It is of the soul.
I don't know much about horses specifically, but I think that if you'd done things any different he wouldn't be the companion to you that he is today. He wouldn't be so gentle, loving and protecting.
Like the captions, just wish they were up just a few seconds longer as the long ones disappear before they are read. ( not all videos )
Yes, just love the sound of nature the outdoors , Farm life. As long as it's not the sound of 2 cats tangling lol
Have you ever told him it is getting harder to go out to him when you're trying to call him in? I wonder if he would understand that.
I like the captions.
Sorry rudnix ❤
He stands so pretty for you to mount.
Mares!!! 😳🙄🙄🙄
Your truly a beautiful soul Alesia"...its just so beautifully heart warming to see such a loving relationship between you & Rudnik now...& you both couldn't be more deserving after all the dedicated love & patience..& with little one on the way..the love is only going to bring more joy & growth"...I really miss having my beautiful mare Bonnie'..she was my sunshine'..though, to say again, you have such good heart..& I can see your about to be a amazing Mum".. much thanks for all your shares..I often give your Rudnik a rub from on my screen😆..he truly is a pure joy"🐎❤️
Thank you so much ♥️♥️
Well you don't need a big house, just big stables and nice land, haha Horsepeople priorities after all. Incredibly expensive pets. Unless you win the lottery of course. I'd build myself a little house out of the way and build a yard with great stuff for my cats. I don't go get any, they just come to me and as I'm a quiet person I get the shy cats, some take a year to get on my lap, one was 8 before she let me pet her, a real feral. Animals take their time and I just give it to them.
Oh I agree! I told my fiancé I’d be happy with a shed on a pasture so I could at least get to see Rudnik everyday outside my ‘window’ 😂
@@rudniktheroan Haha, sleeping in a hayloft, kept warm by the Rudnik farting from below, LOL
But yeah I imagine the best way is like with those old farm doors, they half open, top open the horse can just stick his head into the house, get some cuddles and wander back to the pasture.
❤
👍🏻🥰
❤✌
Maybe you smell different to him and thinking 'are you you or a look alike'....also do the other horses there, see their humans alot? If not maybe they give him jealousy horse actions?
Love 💙💜Tenderness, Patience, Trust, and more Love 💕 will always win!
What did the mare do? I’m so confused, I didn’t see anyone do anything, re wound it, I saw nothing. She sure startled me! 😉😉
Why’d they all leave Rudnik by himself?
Sorry I don’t understand, and it’s my nature to be curious!
And I will stay with your channel because I love the entire cast of characters 😉😉and I want to watch everyone grow.
Have you thought about having an Amazon wish list so we can help you and your family with gifts?
I never had any children and I’d love to help when I can 🥰
With love 💙and friendship,
A widowed dog lady….🤣🤣🤣🤣
For Canadians…to a man running for VP, who thinks single cat ladies are worthless, I’m curious to what he thinks of me being a dog mom??🤣🥲😳
