    Wow, it's fantastic to see my horses, Queen👑Uniek and Rising Star⭐ on the Dodo channel. 😍😍
    The UA-cam subscribers of my Friesian Horses channel had bought Queen Uniek for me. We were all looking forward to the birth of her foal. It was so sad when we found out Star was stillborn.
    But a day later an orphaned foal arrived. Wow, what a beauty! It was love at first sight between the 2. The Subscribers of my channel were allowed to come up with a name for him. It became Rising Star JK. And after a few months I was able to buy Rising Star.
    He is now a few months old and doing very well!! This can all be seen in the videos on my channel.
    Thank you so much for all your lovely comments! ❤❤❤❤
    Yvonne

    What is even more miraculous is that they were supposed to find the afterbirth of Queen Uniek and smear it onto Rising Star to give it the scent illusion (uterus aura) that it is a baby conceived of her but instead they could not find it, so they took the risk of introducing Rising Star without an assurance; low and behold, Queen Uniek accepted him regardless.

    This beautiful mare, Uniek has recently had to be put down. Yvonne, her owner and all of us who follow the herd are grieving. But the amazing thing is that another horse, Coralle, carried Uniek's last foal through embryo transfer. Coralle gave birth to Uniek's last foal, a filly called Belle Uniek, with Uniek looking over the stall wall. It was incredible made even more bittersweet by Uniek having to be put down when Belle was just ten days old. Now another mare raises Uniek's baby, just as Uniek raised another mare's foal.

    Uniek unfortunately lost another foal this year. Further videos of Rising Stars story are on the Friesian Horses UA-cam channel.

    A little update about Rising star; he is a beautiful horse and until summer of 2023 was doing well and still a stallion but he has developed a condition called wobbler which is a neurological disorder they think something happened to his spine in his neck maybe. He has trouble controlling his back legs. They are keeping him isolated at Yvonne’s stable, where his adoptive mother Uniek is, to allow him to rest without any rough play that would happen if he was with other horses. He seems happy. They recently gelded him as well. He has had at least one treatment with a specialist who does manipulation, pressure points, and acupuncture where he seemed to have some improvement. We are all praying for a miracle that he will be healed of this condition.

I haven't looked back and have looked forward to my weekly and sometimes daily peak into stal G. For those of you who might not be familiar the foal is named Rising star or Risey for short. He started off as a foster with the intention that at some point after he was weaned he would go back to his stable. However he was officially purchased by Yvonne and while she has her own stable with two cute Shetlands and a Rottweiler he and Uniek are staying at Stal G (yes Yvonne owns Uniek following a crowd raising to keep her from being sold last year but she too stays at stal G)

    This channel is great to watch, a place with no negativity or politics! It’s just comprised of beautiful stories of these Fresian horses. This breed of horses are so majestic, not only in their beautiful looks, but also in how they trot & cantor, and how they relate to their humans and other horses.
    The bond between Uniek & Rising Star has been wonderful to watch over the months since they were first introduced in this video. “Risey” has gotten so big and handsome over that time. Yvonne, the person responsible for their UA-cam channel (The Fresian’s) was able to buy him at the time he was to return to his original stable. We followers had been preparing ourselves for his departure and were very sad about it. We were pleading to find a way to keep him there at Stal G in the Netherlands. But Yvonne & the original owner took care of that too. Now Yvonne owns both Queen Uniek & Risey & they will be with her forever. FYI, although it looks like it, Yvonne is not the owner or manager of Stal G but in fact, is a dedicated volunteer with tons of expertise who dedicates most of her days to taking care of & training I these beautiful horses. There are other volunteers who also are extremely dedicated as well. They make up the family that is so devoted to these horses that we followers feel a part of.
    Sounds like I am making a marketing pitch for this channel, and maybe I am,😘 But in actuality, I live in the USA and am just an enthusiastic follower recommending it to anyone who enjoys stories like this.

    Queen Uniek was always very protective of Risey! Just amazing how she nurtured him as her own. Add the love and care from Yvonne, and it has been a lovely thing to watch him grow and bloom into a beautiful colt. Thank God prayers from all over the world were heard, and Yvonne is healing from her catastrophic injuries. May she continue to get better. I for one, have missed her and the life at Stal G.
    Best Wishes to all animal lovers around the world.

    I've watched Queen Uniek and Rising Star since the moment they w were together and the bond they share is something truly unique, and not only their bond but the bond with their human, Yvonne !! He's much bigger now, but their bond still thrives each and everyday!! It's around the time he is to be weaned from Uniek, but Uniek will always know that's her baby, and Rising Star will always know, that's his Momma!! This is proof that Love conquers over everything!!

    I'm so happy to see this love story being shared with the world by The Dodo! As a followers of Friesian Horses we all felt the heartbreak and devastation of the day Star was born and did not survive. But the next day brought a us miracle for both Queen👑Uniek and Rising Star. I have watched the full video of their story many times and it never fails to bring a tear to my eyes.💜PS: Follow the herd!!
