Ria I am so glad you, mark and the girls are having the holiday of a lifetime! I can’t wait for you to be home and do a debrief ❤ the horses looked amazing and not skinny to me - lush condition - mine are similar and it’s just how they are (mine are retired too) - in fact if they are fat it’s bad for them so please don’t worry. Better for them to be a bit ribby than fat. Food looks delicious xx you are my fave UA-camr and you deserve happiness x merry Christmas! ❤
@ I agree, a lot of people are making bias comments from one video without going there themselves. Barbados has an equestrian centre where tourists can pay to ride horses with saddles etc but it’s the tourists choice whether they want to do it not. Where do we ride horses for free anywhere especially in the UK. For example, in the Zoos how much do we have to pay to see animals locked up, whereas this is not the case. No one notices that, the wild animals in the zoos are very unhappy because they are restricted.
@@riasuzanne5541 my intention is not bring any negativity to your platform. It is usually cheaper to book the excursions in advance from the UK. If you do travel to Barbados again it’s worth going to Harrison’s Cave, Island Safari, St Nicholas abbey train ride just to name a few.
Hey, so just to clear it up a bit… the guys take the horses on the beach for a morning bath… they’ve been doing it for years… people in near by hotels have noticed and have been coming down to see them on mornings… and because of social media it’s become some sort of “tourist attraction” now… it was never to “exploit” the animals. Also… this is the first time I’ve heard of “tipping” to take pictures with the horses… but I guess if you offer money, they’re not gonna say no.
@@riasuzanne5541 aww fantastic!!! I hope the wine delivered safely, was worried it would smash. You’re very welcome. I hope all the labels stayed on & that you all like them. A very merry Christmas to you to Ria, & your family. Blessings to you all 🙏🏻 xx
Is not entertainment the race horses go there to relax do people are taking care of them but recently it has become so popular at that Beach the horses want to be left alone though this is a for entertainment can you do this often and also some of these horses need a veterinarian
Fair enough have horses on the beach but not for people to ride them - no saddles ! The one lying in the sea! Extremely upsetting to see tbh People please do not ride them
@@notsosuavemate No offence but thats a load of tosh! These animals are not treated well, its all about money and if people did not ride them, there would be no need for horses to be there, they don't take them to the beach out of their kindness of their heart, its for money.
This was such a great video Ria thank you 😊 those monkeys were adorable such an amazing experience for you. Not sure how i feel about the horses but they were definitely enjoying the sea. Hope you guys have enjoyed your lovely holiday. X
The monkeys are so cute they have very long tails.i love all the differant cultures and how they live it's very interesting.the market looked great I love a good browse around a market.hope you have a safe journey home.xx
Not all are rip offs just expensive because of import fees since barbados is far prices are expensive just to ship and its a cycle international business likes more money
So much in this vlog! Love trying different takeaways at places, always interesting. This monkeys!! So adorable!! Haha mark riding the horses he looked slightly uncomfortable but yet enjoying it 😂 So happy you all got a lovely holiday so well deserved.
Sorry Ria, I strongly disagree with the use of animals for the pleasure of tourists. I let the video run on silent and in the background to help figures but I decided not to watch the video. I know you love animals and I love you for that. This is just something I feel strongly about and it's a personal opinion xx
@ I am not here to have a discussion We all have our own opinions - not here to cause arguments You have your opinion - I have mine - I do hope you commented on others as well Like I said we all have our own opinions ok
Hopefully the things that came up missing with Mark weren't stolen those monkeys were probably Tamer than you thought they're probably very used to people feeding them
Such a shame your holiday was marred by how expensive everything was , nothing worse than having to watch your pennies Ria , what with the holding fee's, expensive food , the photographer you had to pay and no doubt school fines for taking your daughter out for 2 weeks , you will be glad to get back and Aldi will feel like the pound shop 😂😂😂😂❤

Aww those little monkeys!! 🐒 Barbados looks absolutely beautiful! Like, wow. Those horses looked a bit skinny 😢, I hope they’re well cared for.
They are just issues with trying to get proper food for them

Those poor horses 😢 feel sorry for them, glad your enjoying your hols it looks lovely ❤❤
Doing ok at the moment they need a vet
Those poor horses...very thin and the one laying down was so exhausted it didn't move when the wave came on him, cruel entertainment for money.

@ I actually know that - however , just like others have commented - it actually looked quite uncomfortable-

Horses are skinny. Looks like a scam to get tourists to pay for 😢
Think it’s terrible - people using animals to make money
@ we use saddles on our horses
@ I am not here to have a discussion
We all have our own opinions - not here to cause arguments
You have your opinion - I have mine - I do hope you commented on others as well
Like I said we all have our own opinions ok

@@notsosuavemate 😭😭
Hopefully the things that came up missing with Mark weren't stolen those monkeys were probably Tamer than you thought they're probably very used to people feeding them
They turned up hun we just didn’t look properly 😂 xxx
1:58 yes it is expensive because they are imports and also tied to the USD so it hurts the locals better to grow food
Such a shame your holiday was marred by how expensive everything was , nothing worse than having to watch your pennies Ria , what with the holding fee's, expensive food , the photographer you had to pay and no doubt school fines for taking your daughter out for 2 weeks , you will be glad to get back and Aldi will feel like the pound shop 😂😂😂😂❤
Omg ALDI seems so cheap now love xxx
It looks lovely ❤❤❤❤from julie
Hi ria good to see you all ❤
E poor horses are weak and thin x
They are doing fine.
@@notsosuavemate don’t look well at all
Those are race horses, you don't expect them to be overly big do you?
