I dont know what kind of money or time was invested in Gloria but she is so worth every penny. What a fantastic horse. You are so very lucky to have a horse so willing to please.
Wow she's like the most beautiful, patient, endearing old horse I've ever seen. These kids are climbing all over her and she's just chillin. Im so jealous, I'd love to have a big ol draft horse like that.
Lunar Moon51 i dont Think it is messing around, when it is biting. I do not find it funny og sweet at all when a horse bite, but that is just my opinion. They are lucky that it is such a sweet horse they have!
@@heatherallan2695 Hmmm, let's see; the horse lives in Belgium, is owned by a Belgian man. Maybe it could be construed to be a Belgian horse, even if it doesn't conform to some else's preconceptions about the breed? The origins of the Belgian horses, in the US and around the world was Belgium and the original breeders didn't follow the standard set by breeders in the USA. I doubt that they concern themselves much with that standard even now.
Some Horses are very kind to humans, I was hit by horned male deer. my uncle's horse was nearby it come to kicked the deer away. That was not a big horse like this though, I think this black heavy horse is at least 1/3 heavier that my uncle's horse
Beautiful kids, making lifetime memories with grandpa's sweet, tolerant Belgium draft horse! No harm was caused to any of the participants, horse or children. Good kids, good horse!
Those little girls are being disrespectful to that horse. And why would you use blinkers on a horse that isn't even working? They are all going to ruin that poor horse. Teach them how to give pressure and release. These uneducated girls should also be using a step stool. Not a freaking ladder! It could've have rust marks and cut the horse!
Can everyone calm down? If the horse didn't like what was going on, it would have ran away far before what was happening. It's juts a bunch of little girls having fun on a horse, nothing to get crabby about.
Judging from the comment section i can see why people hate horsey girls. You want horses to stay out of horse slaughter but complain about every little thing a person does with their horse rather than be grateful the horse looks healthy and happy. I'm beginning to hate horsey girls. Good at judging others and not themselves.
+Juul72 Van Den Broek the horse was clearly unhappy you could see it biting i am not only saying it for the horse but the sake of the children safety that horse could easy kill them..

I love the fact that the girls used the ladder, even though Gloria seems irritated at start what a dear dear heart to stand still for the girls to get on. And how precious that she helped the girls by taking the bit and bridle. Horses are so special and you are blessed to have her for your grandchildren
It's clear that the majority in this comment section doesn't know about horses. Go watch Rick's commentary on this video and you'll see what is really going on.
I feel so bad for this horse and why does the adult not choose to help at all or tell them what there doing is wrong also all four of them should not have been on that horse at once they are extremely lucky they did not get hurt
Equestrian Girl can ppl like you just shut up!? It's so fucking irritating that dweebs like YOU can ruin such great moments, the horse isn't bucking, pinning ears down and such. Just don't comment if you have something bad to say on great moments like this.
The ladder was infuriating. Especially towards people who’ve handled horses for a living. It’s extremely dangerous and those girls are lucky that that horse has patience.
The horse was simply not used to a person jumping on it. The way to get a horse used to it...is to keep doing it until their is no reaction. Welcome to horse training. The horse was fine.
Forever Equine like I'm sorry for this horse he should be treated that way and she even went on him from the right side where u always mount from the left side
Dogsnm well ill agree with that the parents should've had the brains to tell them correctly but just cuz the horse isn't doing anything and is dead quiet (if u know what that means) doesn't mean its not bothering the horse
and actually at the beginning as u watch the blonde girl get on after bridling the horse is very pissed and very uncomfortable and bothered and the rusty old ladder to get on!!!!!! i mean if that horse gets cut it could get infected from the rust on the ladder
Exatly Dogsnm there isn't anything wrong with this. Horse riding causes more deaths than all other sports combined. That horse was cool with what was happening. Bethany....all riding bothers horses. All horses are also bothered by the bit. It wasn't the young lady it was the bit that the horse didn't like. I dont use bits on my horse. I can tell youre a bleeding heart Bethany and know very little about horses.
That horse is such an angel and is so patient. To all those saying they "could have hurt the horse," and "they should learn how to ride," are just ignorant. This is a fantastic way for kids to learn how to ride, the horse will tell the kids when she's in pain or discomfort. The kids are using their imagination and problem solving skills; a skill most children lack these days. This horse is so good with these children; she's the best teacher they could have at this moment and will teach them from their mistakes and these kids are having fun and learning.
Stop hating on this video. They are just kids and a adult was watching but wasn't doing a very good job of coaching the kids. But they were having fun. Yes they were doing things wrong and annoying the horse but they are kids and they may not know this stuff. But they should wear proper riding boots. Many errors happened but it's okay it's not the end if the world.
Everyone needs to chill that horse has one thing on his mind and being mean is not it the ladder is not hurting him he is one big draft horse nothing these kids did hurt him so you need to calm down
Rose_Gaming yes...but it's a Heavy horse not a morgen or quarter horse lookup how much they can handle on their back look up how your dressage horses are trained...get over yourself! Dressage horses are practically trained to death so think about that before you complain about kids simply getting onto a horse
Probably best not to speak on something you aren't an expert in or have any experience in. I don't own horses, but I've gotten to ride one before, read all sorts on them and i learn by listening to people who DO know, and doing my own research. but if there is anything, and i mean ANYTHING i do not know about, i won't speak on it, it is none of my business to speak on it unless i know about it.
All I saw during this was how gentle and patient this horse is! The little girl jumped on him and he didn't move that much. They put a ladder on him (it may not hurt him but I can't see that being comfy) and he didn't do much. He tried to bite the girl that once but not afterwards.
Very entertaining. Seeing how well this patient and intelligent horse deals with these enthusiastic but inexperienced children is great fun to watch. Especially how the horse does not move an inch during the various attempts to get on for a ride. Obviously, grandfather is close at hand in case anything gets out of hand. FWIW, in the next video, shot about a year later, the girls are taller and more experienced, but the horse remains the same tolerant creature. BTW, it looks like one of the girls is holding a treat in her closed hand, and the horse's interest in getting it is what some viewers have identified as "biting." For generations, large work horses like this one have been bred for gentleness and tractability, which makes it possible for people to handle them safely.
@@REV-mu5tu just because a horse doesn't dump doesn't mean she doesn't care. I've gotten over horse nerdiness so if you respond then cool but I'm not replying.
Steffany Elford get over your self umm no she won't because that poor horse DOES NOT DECERVE getting treated that way. Would you like having people jump on you and kick you and put a ladder on you. And have four FAT kids on your back???
DIY Saturday Seriously... Fat? The horse obviously doesn't mind, and that "bite" wasn't really a bite,a real bite would've taken the kids hand off. So leave the poor kids alone please.
So nice to see kids have a good time without a cell phone or an electronic game. Regardless whether anything was done incorrectly, these kids had a great time and they will think back about this day when they are grandparents. I have never enjoyed a youtube video as much as I enjoyed this one. Thanks for sharing.
Don't understand all the negative comments. Are people that stupid. These are just kids having fun. Jumping and a ladder won't hurt a big Belgian. It isn't your average weak pony. The horse didn't even seem to notice the ladder. And the biting, who says it's because of the kids. Lot's of possible reasons. These kids don't do any harm, LET THEM PLAY. Met groeten uit Alken ;-)
dream life , i don't see where some 40kg kids hurt this 700kg horse. If this hurts the horse i wonder what would happen if horses kicked each other. it may not like the kids jumping on but i'm sure it does not hurt
This horse was obviously getting very annoyed, it is tossing its head and it even nibbled on that little girl's hand. Even if they won't do any harm, the horse doesn't like it. Imagine someone trying to get on your back for like 20 times and keeps failing, and you can't see anything except for straight ahead. How would you feel?
As cute as this seems, don’t let the kids jump at the horse like that. You can see the ears on the horse pinned back and was trying to bite at the girl holding its halter. Even bit her at one point. Though the horse didn’t mean any harm, I’d be pretty annoyed and snappy too if a kid was jumping, thrashing, kicking and kneeing my side while putting strain on one side of my back. Plus I watched the girls ride the horse and they seemed... almost brain dead. Like they weren’t paying much attention to what they were doing. No offense or anything. But give these girls some riding lessons they do seem to be in love with your horse. Maybe give them a mounting block instead of a ladder because that can also cause strain on the horse and spook a horse when the ladder falls. Very dangerous. Edit: also I don’t want to hear the pro-video supporters come in and say “you’re not a horse trainer you don’t know shit” when you don’t know my life. I may not be a horseman or own a horse but I love horses enough to work with them and take riding lessons (it’s been 14 years). I know a lot about a horse and the way it behaves. I don’t need people telling me what I do or don’t know. If you did this sort of thing on any horse, the animal will take it as a threat and attempt to buck, bite, and run. I’d like to see people try this on a random horse they find in a stable and watch them prove my point
Steffany Elford i bet you wouldnt say they were smart if that horse spooked and they got injured. Horses are fight or flight animals, just because a horse never did anything doesnt mean it wont.
+Eww People ...Dogs have teeth an sometimes bite children. Should families give up their dogs too? Just because some animals have reacted a certain way doesn't mean all animals will. Knowing your own animal is key.
Steffany Elford anyone who knows anything about horses knows that even the kindest horses spook, its natural for they are as i said before fight or flight animals, i never said to give up the horse now did I?
awe thanks at least i know how to ride and i didnt ask for your opinion soo.. and all becuase it sounds stupid doesnt mean it is. i know alot more about riding then you and i can say there is alot these kids are doing wrong, come ride my horse and then try to tell me i sound stupid. :)
Don't Ask Actually she's making perfect sense. Us horse riders know what were talking about. These girls are very unexperienced riders, You could obviously tell that She was very annoyed when those kids were jumping on her.
Priscilla Haystone: It's not about making sence but about the fact the english jades used is so horrible one needs to read it at least twice to understand what she was trying to say...
yeah thank you. but i also just realized how stupid i do sound lol. and that this was nine months ago lol. i know alot more know and i cant believe someone would let these kids do this and not care!
I don't think those children respected the horse enough... Dropping ladders with loud noises... Horse could spook at any time with you grandchild on there! I don't think this was a smart idea at all... At least respect the horse and not hurt her with ladders... You could see her ears flipping back every so often... Poor girl it's a shame cos she's beautiful
You have children running up and jumping on a horse that can't see. That horse is biting that child. Omg there using a ladder. That bit is bigger than your stupidity. When your grandchildren loses their lives because you let them do stuff Like this it will be your fault.
those children are ruining that horse and don't know hardly how to handle horses they aren't even putting the bridle on correctly they should be taught the basics before they get on and should be instructed on how to handle the horse while riding
It is impossible for normal children to ruin a good horse. I am a real fan of farm horses. I admire them because of their calmness, confidence, patience, joy of working, performance, and what riders are calling "collection". Most of them were never trained being ridden, but all of them were accepting it. My father in law had 2 of them, which both put their feet from my toes after a soft touch with the other foot against their leg. They didn't stop chewing.
The horse is so kind to the children. But I don't think that inexperienced children should be riding a horse without a helmet and doing pretty dumb stuff like getting on with a ladder. What if the horse spooked when they didn't have a helmet or moved when they climbed on with the ladder? Just my opinion no hate please, I think the horse is very kind and perfect for children but you should still think before doing because it's still a horse and it can do harm.
WHAT A GREAT VIDEO!! These girls are awesome and your draft is a saint. Hope her hand is okay from when he grabbed it. ouch! horsey Girls bein horsey girls. Thanks for posting!! I'm sure they learn a lot from visiting your farm. Cheers from Canada!
نفولنسننقح just got 🔙 to the 💪 and I don't know how you feel better about myself and others are o of the year of the year of the year of the year of the year of the year of
Kids play !! Maybe they tread the horse with a lot of respect and take well care about it. You just sit behind your computer and then it's easy to comment some kids ..
Hurts it's back. they weren't hitting it with the ladder. And these are Belgian draft horses. They were bred to work, pull and carry heavy loads. It hardly feels those 50 pound kids or their jumping. I'm 160 pounds and when i jump onto my Belgian like that, it looks at my like 'what are you trying to do' And these are the best to learn to ride. Did you see how calm it was (apart from the biting), Belgians are very calm horses
jan585 Correct me if I'm wrong but when all for girls got into the horse they were on his kidneys. I say that's a very well behaved pony. If it could have easily bucked them off. Not to be "dangerous" or "naughty" but to say get off it hurts. Not hating btw just putting it out there😁
That ain't no Pony.... and i'm pretty sure those kids weight less than what that horse is used to hauling around or an adult or two would probably be different. their combined weight probably equals 1 adult.
I love black horses so much! They are so cute, but you should not get on a horse with a ladder! Just get some help from a adult to lift you up! The horse was clearly very pissed off when the first girl tried to jump up on it, I can understand that horse. If I were that horse I would run away and toss the girl off my back, poor horse.
E che schifo di video è??? Pure la scala? Vergognatevi per come trattate questo cavallo docilissimo...i cavalli e tutti gli animali non sono dei giocattoli!
so many thing wrong with this....... why are they using a ladder? what is the horse spooked? why are they not wearing helmets? what if the horse was to spook and they feel of? what about the ladder it could of caught serious damage to the horse.. those girl don't look experienced with horses and shes such a lovely horse.
+Steffany Elford lmao shut up. Everybody in this comments knows what's best for them besides you! I was hoping they'd get bucked off. Bloody stupid children
+Steffany Elford I'm not a hater. I know what's right. I've been a horse rider/Trainor my whole life. just trying to inform you. sorry if I hurt you or offended you:)
+MaggieBeautyXO I'm also a horse trainer and rider and have been training Draft and Draft X's (Belgian, Clydesdales, Percherons) horses to ride and drive since I was a kid. Do you need some education on horses? I'd be happy to help you further your education.
Gloria is a beautiful mare! She was so obedient, patient, and sweet when around the girls, even when they were literally climbing all over her, she just remains calm and plods around the field. I love draft horses- they are patient, calm, and willing . Don't let their size and bulk deter you, they are gentle giants.
Everyone has a starting point. Anyone when they started riding, did stuff like this because this is what beginners do. They are also children. Chill out.
Really , I've never seen such an absolutely wonderful video of 2 lovely girls with such a wonderful big horse draw so many negative and ignorant comments . GROW UP PEOPLE ! This is how ALL renown horsemen from all over the world began . These lovely young horse women are learning such life skills from this play with this wonderful young horse . I personally give this video only 10, 000 STARS ! : ) : )
I've enjoyed this video over and over & wonder how the grandchildren have grown over the years. A keepsake for certain! Best wishes to the family & the majestic Belgian.
To anyone saying the horse was irritated, yes he was when they tried jumping on her the 4 times and to you who say that the kids also don’t have any idea of what they are doing, what do you expect? This is such a cute video💖 draft horses are meant to carry “hundreds” of pounds and drafts are calm horses that couldn’t care about anything more than grazing. All of the equestrians probably see “that bit is dangerous” or “the reins are too _____” but in the title it seemed to be a educated grandpa with his grandchildren just having a fun time! I love this!
How stupid is it to let a kid get on a horse without any adult help?! That horse could toss that girl if it wanted to. Stop damaging this beautiful animal! She's going to become aggressive when other people get on this horse because of these kids. Please, don't do things like this. Who uses a ladder to get on a horse? You can easily use a freaking mounting block. Just stop, this is cruel and stupid.
5:14 there shouldn't be 4 children on that horse, the poor thing, it can harm their backs and other bones in their bodies like the legs ect. I get these girls are being supervised by someone, I'm not going to say anything about how uneducated I think this person is, they are having a good time but they can seriously harm this horse or they all could fall off then the horse would be labeled as 'dangerous' or 'wild' only because of the stupidity of 4 children. before riding this horse they must know the basics like how to put a bridle on, or how to mount up bareback (not using a ladder ffs) they don't even know not to go near a horses mouth and that's just common sense tbh.
Ok. My parents are in the room so I said to myself 'let's not watch anything funny because I don't want to get told off' so I decided to watch this thinking that it wasn't going to be funny, just a nice sweet little video. But trying to contain my laughter when they are getting on is such a challenge. XD
Why didn't they take his halter off? And when she mounted him she kicked him in his butt. JUST GET A FLIPPING HAY BALE SAVE US ALL THE WORRY OF THAT HORSE! Also someone should of come and taken away that ladder, the horse could of been spooked and jumped right on it! Plus, that horse probably didn't like 1 child on it LET ALONE 4! THIS IS HORRID!
And who lets their grand-daughter or ANYBODY say the least put a LADDER on a horse while trying to mount like i dont care if your 2 feet tall you should just ask for help or GET A MOUNTING BLOCK HMMM THATS WHAT THEY ARE MADE FOR
First of all, Some of these girls are getting on the horse at the wrong side, and seriously, with a ladder? And By the way you shouldnt ride the horse when you first of all cant even tack it up normally or actually ride good, they are Also really disrespectfull towardd the horse, she's really sweet and this is what you do. Shame on you.
The horse is more than obviously NOT having a good time. It's clear you knew your horse is unbelivably calm and patient. I'm not sure what's more stupid, if the jumping where the girls were constantly kicking the poor animal, or the whole ladder idea. I really feel for the poor mare. Not mentioning the fact they both rode WITHOUT A HELMET!!! If the girls were riding a horse that would be onle a bit quick-tempered or spook, they would have been injured badly, if not even worse. And you are not even sensible and ashamed enough not to post such a thing on youtube. It's terrible.
YOU ARE USING A FU**ING LADDER!? That horse is so Nice! And you guys are so lucky that, that horse didnt begin to run and Get so pissed and throw them off! And where is you helmet at!? Like omg.
I'm sorry but I just want to belt the person who let these kids ride like that. No hamlet, no proper gear and they used a friggin later to get on the poor horse. I'm surprised it didn't take off or buck like crazy. And when the girl first got on she kicked it in it's but and flank. HORSES DONT LIKE THAT SHIT 😂🙀
Hi there, fellow commenters. Here's advice: Don't judge the kids. The OWNER of the horse is there supervising them, and if the owner thinks it's safe, then it is. Chillax my people, they are only children and having fun. Also, the horse is super calm, they aren't going to ruin the horse.
Nothing about this was necessarily abusive. There are many thoughts on bits, but overall they are still commonly used, YES the horse nipped at the girl once, but we garner sure what was really happening. He is a giant. They are bred to hold the weight. Chill. Yes the kids were probably inexperienced, but what can you expect from 7-10 year olds. All in good fun. Argue if you want in here to listen
I dont know what kind of money or time was invested in Gloria but she is so worth every penny. What a fantastic horse. You are so very lucky to have a horse so willing to please.

Stop hating on this video. They are just kids and a adult was watching but wasn't doing a very good job of coaching the kids. But they were having fun. Yes they were doing things wrong and annoying the horse but they are kids and they may not know this stuff. But they should wear proper riding boots. Many errors happened but it's okay it's not the end if the world.
Everyone needs to chill that horse has one thing on his mind and being mean is not it the ladder is not hurting him he is one big draft horse nothing these kids did hurt him so you need to calm down
OMG the ladder! That was hilarious!
Im not an horse expert... But those kids cant handle a horse. No wonder she is tryna bite em
Rose_Gaming yes...but it's a Heavy horse not a morgen or quarter horse lookup how much they can handle on their back look up how your dressage horses are trained...get over yourself! Dressage horses are practically trained to death so think about that before you complain about kids simply getting onto a horse
Rose_Gaming If you're not educated about the horse world, the best thing for people like you is to just leave if you don't agree with it and *shut up*
Probably best not to speak on something you aren't an expert in or have any experience in.
I don't own horses, but I've gotten to ride one before, read all sorts on them and i learn by listening to people who DO know, and doing my own research. but if there is anything, and i mean ANYTHING i do not know about, i won't speak on it, it is none of my business to speak on it unless i know about it.
Emilia {em} shut up
Have Been around Horses 30+ years Both the Kids and horse is Fine.If that horse had wanted to hurt that child he Finger would be Gone
All I saw during this was how gentle and patient this horse is! The little girl jumped on him and he didn't move that much. They put a ladder on him (it may not hurt him but I can't see that being comfy) and he didn't do much. He tried to bite the girl that once but not afterwards.
Very entertaining. Seeing how well this patient and intelligent horse deals with these enthusiastic but inexperienced children is great fun to watch. Especially how the horse does not move an inch during the various attempts to get on for a ride. Obviously, grandfather is close at hand in case anything gets out of hand. FWIW, in the next video, shot about a year later, the girls are taller and more experienced, but the horse remains the same tolerant creature. BTW, it looks like one of the girls is holding a treat in her closed hand, and the horse's interest in getting it is what some viewers have identified as "biting." For generations, large work horses like this one have been bred for gentleness and tractability, which makes it possible for people to handle them safely.
G Kelly no she was not holding a treat and u obviously know nothing about horses
Hi Robert,
I think this horse is pretty special, and I have never seen a ladder used to mount a house before!
I don't see the big deal. The horse obviously doesn't care, so why should y'all?
Breigh Guidry well the horse bit a girl and plus we y'all know alot about horses then you
It does care
@@sheep8128 No she Does Not Care.If she did She would dump them,and would not be standing still for them
@@REV-mu5tu just because a horse doesn't dump doesn't mean she doesn't care. I've gotten over horse nerdiness so if you respond then cool but I'm not replying.
Such a nice horsey! People calm down, It's just kids having fun with a horse. The horse is calm, in a good shape, not abused. I've seen far worse.
I fell so sorry for that horse 😭
Get over yourself
Steffany Elford get over your self umm no she won't because that poor horse DOES NOT DECERVE getting treated that way. Would you like having people jump on you and kick you and put a ladder on you. And have four FAT kids on your back???
DIY Saturday seriously......stop making a fool of yourself. Think before you write!!
DIY Saturday Seriously... Fat? The horse obviously doesn't mind, and that "bite" wasn't really a bite,a real bite would've taken the kids hand off. So leave the poor kids alone please.
Yeah, little dipshits. If I was that horse, I wouldn't be so calm, I would kick their ass away from me.
So nice to see kids have a good time without a cell phone or an electronic game. Regardless whether anything was done incorrectly, these kids had a great time and they will think back about this day when they are grandparents. I have never enjoyed a youtube video as much as I enjoyed this one. Thanks for sharing.
Don't understand all the negative comments. Are people that stupid. These are just kids having fun. Jumping and a ladder won't hurt a big Belgian. It isn't your average weak pony. The horse didn't even seem to notice the ladder. And the biting, who says it's because of the kids. Lot's of possible reasons. These kids don't do any harm, LET THEM PLAY.
Met groeten uit Alken ;-)
jan585 they are hurting the horse that is not having fun
dream life , i don't see where some 40kg kids hurt this 700kg horse. If this hurts the horse i wonder what would happen if horses kicked each other. it may not like the kids jumping on but i'm sure it does not hurt
This horse was obviously getting very annoyed, it is tossing its head and it even nibbled on that little girl's hand. Even if they won't do any harm, the horse doesn't like it. Imagine someone trying to get on your back for like 20 times and keeps failing, and you can't see anything except for straight ahead. How would you feel?
You sir, are very dumb.
Monica Xu exactly it " nibbled" them it didn't bite them it's FINE
As cute as this seems, don’t let the kids jump at the horse like that. You can see the ears on the horse pinned back and was trying to bite at the girl holding its halter. Even bit her at one point. Though the horse didn’t mean any harm, I’d be pretty annoyed and snappy too if a kid was jumping, thrashing, kicking and kneeing my side while putting strain on one side of my back.
Plus I watched the girls ride the horse and they seemed... almost brain dead. Like they weren’t paying much attention to what they were doing. No offense or anything. But give these girls some riding lessons they do seem to be in love with your horse.
Maybe give them a mounting block instead of a ladder because that can also cause strain on the horse and spook a horse when the ladder falls. Very dangerous.
Edit: also I don’t want to hear the pro-video supporters come in and say “you’re not a horse trainer you don’t know shit” when you don’t know my life. I may not be a horseman or own a horse but I love horses enough to work with them and take riding lessons (it’s been 14 years). I know a lot about a horse and the way it behaves. I don’t need people telling me what I do or don’t know. If you did this sort of thing on any horse, the animal will take it as a threat and attempt to buck, bite, and run.
I’d like to see people try this on a random horse they find in a stable and watch them prove my point
They are kids, and the horse was too tall for the to get onto. Smart kids!
not smart kids, they were lucky that horse is patient and didn't pull anything.
Smart kids! Loved it. Eww People is just a hater with nothing better to do.
Steffany Elford
i bet you wouldnt say they were smart if that horse spooked and they got injured. Horses are fight or flight animals, just because a horse never did anything doesnt mean it wont.
+Eww People ...Dogs have teeth an sometimes bite children. Should families give up their dogs too? Just because some animals have reacted a certain way doesn't mean all animals will. Knowing your own animal is key.
Steffany Elford
anyone who knows anything about horses knows that even the kindest horses spook, its natural for they are as i said before fight or flight animals, i never said to give up the horse now did I?
Thumbs up !!!! Grettings from HONDURAS!!!!
Wtf using a ladder to get up? It could hurt the horse!
Its not as bad as it looks. Think like a horse did a video about it and it wasn't a bad thing.
Think about it. People use bits, whips, spurs etc etc....but the ladder is the enemy. Give your head a shake.
Steffany Elford none hurt them severely like a ladder can
BreyerGirl 2396 there are many horses that have died because people have used spurs
Blazy Draws Sit down before you make more of a fool of yourself.
To be honest the horse is an angel but the kids are a whole different thing
I agree
OH MY GOD TEACH THEN HOW TO FREAKING RIDE AND PUT A BRIDAL ON BEFORE THEY DO THAT STUFF GOOD THING SHE GOT BIT SHE DESERVED IT! gosh
awe thanks at least i know how to ride and i didnt ask for your opinion soo.. and all becuase it sounds stupid doesnt mean it is. i know alot more about riding then you and i can say there is alot these kids are doing wrong, come ride my horse and then try to tell me i sound stupid. :)
Don't Ask Actually she's making perfect sense. Us horse riders know what were talking about. These girls are very unexperienced riders, You could obviously tell that She was very annoyed when those kids were jumping on her.
Priscilla Haystone: It's not about making sence but about the fact the english jades used is so horrible one needs to read it at least twice to understand what she was trying to say...
jadesEquineAddiction I more than agree I would put a helmet before I got on that kind of horse
yeah thank you. but i also just realized how stupid i do sound lol. and that this was nine months ago lol. i know alot more know and i cant believe someone would let these kids do this and not care!
I don't think those children respected the horse enough... Dropping ladders with loud noises... Horse could spook at any time with you grandchild on there! I don't think this was a smart idea at all... At least respect the horse and not hurt her with ladders... You could see her ears flipping back every so often... Poor girl it's a shame cos she's beautiful
omg do u guys see the horse trying to bite the girl when the other girl was getting on
olivia moore yes
olivia moore poor horse
......and .....
olivia moore : Lovey , if a horse wants to bite you , chances are that it will bite you at one time or another so , hour comments are unfounded .
You have children running up and jumping on a horse that can't see. That horse is biting that child. Omg there using a ladder. That bit is bigger than your stupidity. When your grandchildren loses their lives because you let them do stuff Like this it will be your fault.
those children are ruining that horse and don't know hardly how to handle horses they aren't even putting the bridle on correctly they should be taught the basics before they get on and should be instructed on how to handle the horse while riding
It is impossible for normal children to ruin a good horse. I am a real fan of farm horses. I admire them because of their calmness, confidence, patience, joy of working, performance, and what riders are calling "collection". Most of them were never trained being ridden, but all of them were accepting it. My father in law had 2 of them, which both put their feet from my toes after a soft touch with the other foot against their leg. They didn't stop chewing.
***** 1 year is barley anything
+Bethany Northsmith I'm sorry, but 1 year is already a lot. stop judging her because she has been only riding for a year, you learn a lot in a year.
Cute Cupcake ummm a year ur still really in experienced
i have been riding for 9 years☺️
Such a beautiful, patient, best friend that horse is. Worth her weight in gold!
lovely. great to see the kids enjoy themselves
She is a Saint! Well done for producing such a kind, patient and trusting soul. Looks like they really love each other x
The horse is so kind to the children. But I don't think that inexperienced children should be riding a horse without a helmet and doing pretty dumb stuff like getting on with a ladder. What if the horse spooked when they didn't have a helmet or moved when they climbed on with the ladder? Just my opinion no hate please, I think the horse is very kind and perfect for children but you should still think before doing because it's still a horse and it can do harm.
WHAT A GREAT VIDEO!! These girls are awesome and your draft is a saint. Hope her hand is okay from when he grabbed it. ouch! horsey Girls bein horsey girls. Thanks for posting!! I'm sure they learn a lot from visiting your farm. Cheers from Canada!
I can't believe that horse isn't reacting to those girl 😳😔 well other than their mounting which the poor horse did not take that too well
+Sarah Read it was biting them
نفولنسننقح just got 🔙 to the 💪 and I don't know how you feel better about myself and others are o of the year of the year of the year of the year of the year of the year of
Luckily the horse didn't mind the ladder. The ladder is probably less annoying to the horse than all the other kids' attempts to get aboard.
They need to be taught to respect animals! They are jumping all over that horse like she's just an object.
Kids play !! Maybe they tread the horse with a lot of respect and take well care about it.
You just sit behind your computer and then it's easy to comment some kids ..
The ladder was digging in to his shoulder Blesss this horse
I'm half okay with this, and half not.. Not too sure what to think, so I'll just leave.
👋 ➡ 🚪
Please please can you be careful with your Wellington boots ok
if your starting your kids riding maybe on a pony and a ladder really you could hurt its back and maybe you should off brought a mounting block 😒😒
Hurts it's back. they weren't hitting it with the ladder. And these are Belgian draft horses. They were bred to work, pull and carry heavy loads. It hardly feels those 50 pound kids or their jumping. I'm 160 pounds and when i jump onto my Belgian like that, it looks at my like 'what are you trying to do'
And these are the best to learn to ride. Did you see how calm it was (apart from the biting), Belgians are very calm horses
jan585
Correct me if I'm wrong but when all for girls got into the horse they were on his kidneys. I say that's a very well behaved pony. If it could have easily bucked them off. Not to be "dangerous" or "naughty" but to say get off it hurts.
Not hating btw just putting it out there😁
That ain't no Pony.... and i'm pretty sure those kids weight less than what that horse is used to hauling around or an adult or two would probably be different. their combined weight probably equals 1 adult.
the kids are pretty rude with the horse. one day the horse will give them payback.
I love black horses so much! They are so cute, but you should not get on a horse with a ladder! Just get some help from a adult to lift you up! The horse was clearly very pissed off when the first girl tried to jump up on it, I can understand that horse. If I were that horse I would run away and toss the girl off my back, poor horse.
why would you let the kids use a ladder to climb on the horse.... 2:46 no wonder the horse is trying to bite them and bit the kid.....
did she just use a ladder to get onto that horse? ugh 😑
..... What's wrong with that...????
Did you just offer an unsolicited criticism of innocent children? 😑
Ik heb deze video al zeker 10 x bekeken en ik blijf het prachtig vinden. Mooier speelgoed kun je je nauwelijks bedenken.
Using a later to get on your horse is not safe at all
E che schifo di video è??? Pure la scala? Vergognatevi per come trattate questo cavallo docilissimo...i cavalli e tutti gli animali non sono dei giocattoli!
so many thing wrong with this....... why are they using a ladder? what is the horse spooked? why are they not wearing helmets? what if the horse was to spook and they feel of? what about the ladder it could of caught serious damage to the horse.. those girl don't look experienced with horses and shes such a lovely horse.
Relax, kids are having fun. Go hate somewhere else.
+Steffany Elford lmao shut up. Everybody in this comments knows what's best for them besides you! I was hoping they'd get bucked off. Bloody stupid children
MaggieBeautyXO sweetie when you grow up maybe you won't be a hater. I feel sorry for you. You're ugly where it counts...on the inside.
+Steffany Elford I'm not a hater. I know what's right. I've been a horse rider/Trainor my whole life. just trying to inform you. sorry if I hurt you or offended you:)
+MaggieBeautyXO I'm also a horse trainer and rider and have been training Draft and Draft X's (Belgian, Clydesdales, Percherons) horses to ride and drive since I was a kid. Do you need some education on horses? I'd be happy to help you further your education.
I like the way they throw the ladder away after mounting
Pretty children and good gentle horse. I enjoyed it.
Gloria is a beautiful mare! She was so obedient, patient, and sweet when around the girls, even when they were literally climbing all over her, she just remains calm and plods around the field. I love draft horses- they are patient, calm, and willing . Don't let their size and bulk deter you, they are gentle giants.
kids clearly don't know what they're doing... not even holding the reins correctly.
Everyone has a starting point. Anyone when they started riding, did stuff like this because this is what beginners do. They are also children. Chill out.
1:37 .. I'm dying 😂😂😂💀
carleigh dentinger so i am not The only one that saw it 😂
Controleren haar rug, misschien bijt ze toen jouw kleinkinderen springen, omdat ze heeft pijn... Het ziet niet erg leuk uit voor haar :(
Eva Lauwereyns Learn four languages as a dyslexic first, sweetheart.
Really , I've never seen such an absolutely wonderful video of 2 lovely girls with such a wonderful big horse draw so many negative and ignorant comments .
GROW UP PEOPLE ! This is how ALL renown horsemen from all over the world began .
These lovely young horse women are learning such life skills from this play with this wonderful young horse .
I personally give this video only 10, 000 STARS ! : ) : )
And if you disagree , I feel very sorry for you .
Ha, ha. That ladder, what a hoot!
0:45 she kicked the horse
Well the horse seemed Well trained so it should be fine
2:38 : Hum, little girl, can't you see he's trying to grase?
A very good mare!
Not a Belgian. It's a percheron
Gloria is a pure-bred Belgian draft horse, registered in the studbook
its like the vier heemskinderen
I've enjoyed this video over and over & wonder how the grandchildren have grown over the years. A keepsake for certain! Best wishes to the family & the majestic Belgian.
To anyone saying the horse was irritated, yes he was when they tried jumping on her the 4 times and to you who say that the kids also don’t have any idea of what they are doing, what do you expect? This is such a cute video💖 draft horses are meant to carry “hundreds” of pounds and drafts are calm horses that couldn’t care about anything more than grazing. All of the equestrians probably see “that bit is dangerous” or “the reins are too _____” but in the title it seemed to be a educated grandpa with his grandchildren just having a fun time! I love this!
USE A MOUNTING BLOCK IF YOU CAN’T GET ON FROM THE GROUND!!!!!! Poor horse. Ffs....
poor horse
How stupid is it to let a kid get on a horse without any adult help?! That horse could toss that girl if it wanted to. Stop damaging this beautiful animal! She's going to become aggressive when other people get on this horse because of these kids. Please, don't do things like this. Who uses a ladder to get on a horse? You can easily use a freaking mounting block. Just stop, this is cruel and stupid.
5:14 there shouldn't be 4 children on that horse, the poor thing, it can harm their backs and other bones in their bodies like the legs ect. I get these girls are being supervised by someone, I'm not going to say anything about how uneducated I think this person is, they are having a good time but they can seriously harm this horse or they all could fall off then the horse would be labeled as 'dangerous' or 'wild' only because of the stupidity of 4 children. before riding this horse they must know the basics like how to put a bridle on, or how to mount up bareback (not using a ladder ffs) they don't even know not to go near a horses mouth and that's just common sense tbh.
That horse is totally bomb proof i love it!
Ok. My parents are in the room so I said to myself 'let's not watch anything funny because I don't want to get told off' so I decided to watch this thinking that it wasn't going to be funny, just a nice sweet little video. But trying to contain my laughter when they are getting on is such a challenge. XD
Why didn't they take his halter off? And when she mounted him she kicked him in his butt. JUST GET A FLIPPING HAY BALE SAVE US ALL THE WORRY OF THAT HORSE! Also someone should of come and taken away that ladder, the horse could of been spooked and jumped right on it! Plus, that horse probably didn't like 1 child on it LET ALONE 4! THIS IS HORRID!
And who lets their grand-daughter or ANYBODY say the least put a LADDER on a horse while trying to mount like i dont care if your 2 feet tall you should just ask for help or GET A MOUNTING BLOCK HMMM THATS WHAT THEY ARE MADE FOR
First of all, Some of these girls are getting on the horse at the wrong side, and seriously, with a ladder? And By the way you shouldnt ride the horse when you first of all cant even tack it up normally or actually ride good, they are Also really disrespectfull towardd the horse, she's really sweet and this is what you do. Shame on you.
I can't believe they put a ladder on the horse!
The horse is more than obviously NOT having a good time.
It's clear you knew your horse is unbelivably calm and patient.
I'm not sure what's more stupid, if the jumping where the girls were constantly kicking the poor animal, or the whole ladder idea. I really feel for the poor mare.
Not mentioning the fact they both rode WITHOUT A HELMET!!!
If the girls were riding a horse that would be onle a bit quick-tempered or spook, they would have been injured badly, if not even worse.
And you are not even sensible and ashamed enough not to post such a thing on youtube. It's terrible.
YOU ARE USING A FU**ING LADDER!? That horse is so Nice! And you guys are so lucky that, that horse didnt begin to run and Get so pissed and throw them off! And where is you helmet at!? Like omg.
I'm sorry but I just want to belt the person who let these kids ride like that. No hamlet, no proper gear and they used a friggin later to get on the poor horse. I'm surprised it didn't take off or buck like crazy. And when the girl first got on she kicked it in it's but and flank. HORSES DONT LIKE THAT SHIT 😂🙀
*puts ladder on horse*
*climbs up on horse*
NAILED IT!!
Hi there, fellow commenters.
Here's advice: Don't judge the kids. The OWNER of the horse is there supervising them, and if the owner thinks it's safe, then it is.
Chillax my people, they are only children and having fun. Also, the horse is super calm, they aren't going to ruin the horse.
Nothing about this was necessarily abusive. There are many thoughts on bits, but overall they are still commonly used, YES the horse nipped at the girl once, but we garner sure what was really happening. He is a giant. They are bred to hold the weight. Chill. Yes the kids were probably inexperienced, but what can you expect from 7-10 year olds. All in good fun. Argue if you want in here to listen
