  • The first 7 days of weaning Rising Star⭐
    Queen👑Uniek and Rising Star⭐ had to get used to it a bit but after a few days it all went well.
    Rising Star⭐ was 5 months old in this video. He's big, he's strong, he's beautiful, he's almost a little fat... Uniek has done incredibly well with raising the orphaned foal Rising Star⭐!
    He started bullying Uniek. We really thought it was time to wean them off. In this way, Uniek gets her rest, so that her new foal can grow in her belly.
    With this we have concluded a great period! And I'm so glad I was able to buy Rising Star myself!
    There are different ways to wean. We have been doing it this way for years.

    So deeply touched by this weaning process. Anyone who thinks of these beautiful equines as "just horses" cannot appreciate the love they have for one another, AND their caring humans. Big lump in my throat as Uniek passed Risey, and they nuzzled one another. Sigh... They are not "just horses." They love 💘 and are loved.

      Yes this is so true Bernard. I have such a new perspective for horses now because of what I’ve witnessed through these videos. I never knew how well they communicated with us and each other. Uniek is so majestic and such a great leader. She knew Risey had to mature with the other young colts so she pushed him away gently but firm. She then went back to work being the leader of the herd. The level of her intelligence is very high, She understands very well what’s expected of her better than some humans. I hope that Hollywood is watching this is what should be in the movies. Hale to the Queen.

Well done to you all for giving a foal a chance to be put in with a nursing mum who has lost her foal. Love to all of you who get there suraget mares to take on a foal which she did not birth.

      What a great job weaning! We did not breed our mares back, so we were able to wean them naturally, more or less. By 8 or 9 mos, mama was tired of nursing a big baby! We separated them & after a day or so, both mama & baby were already adjusting. Of course, putting baby out with a few friendly young friends helped a lot;)

    Queen Uniek is such a loving mem to Risey. Even when mems are over it and ready for some peace and quiet, Queen still nurtures her baby boy. So lovely that they had the opportunity to get through the weaning process so gently. Also, I absolutely adored seeing Waloubet so happy to be in with another horse. Her flagged tail and happy dance was precious. Maybe if she were introduced one by one for a while, she wouldn't seem so scary to everyone and she could one day join the herd like Sjors. She would be so happy! Now, the tractor 🚜, on the other hand, will never be anything but scary, lol!

      A growing friendship with the matriarch (Uniek) will empower Waloubet, who I see as a gentle and very smart horse. She wants friends but won't be a push over. Sjors is older but I think if he tried to overwhelm Waloubet, she would give him a few lessons about being polite, and I think Uniek will take only so much bossiness from the gelding since she doesn't have to worry so much about RS now. We'll see!

RS drinking Uniek's milk over the fence was very touching, as well as them two getting nose to nose. 😢 It really is satisfying to see how over the days they were more and more at peace with being separated. Also fascinating to see Uniek together with Walou in the outside arena! 😯 I liked it, perhaps this can bring a breakthrough for Walou to be accepted by the herd... certainly hope so!

    Giving up Mom is hard, but I think your way of weaning is great. Mom and foal get to see each other and letting Risey nurse in his box with Uniek outside gives him comfort while building his self-sufficiency. It also allows Uniek to decide when she is ready to go back to her box and leave Risey with his friends.
    The lives of Risey and Uniek are almost like a fairy tale. The way Uniek called to Risey when he first arrived and accepted him as her own was truly amazing to watch. Her devotion to him has been unwavering. He has been brought up happy and safe and well loved by Uniek and Yvonne and the rest of the group at the stable. I think it would amazing to one day see Faya riding Risey in competition. What a pair they would make, the golden haired girl and the red-head Frisian!

    Yvonne, I hope you are in less pain very soon. Your process of weaning with Uniek and Rising Star worked well. Risey has grown so much in these 5 months. He's so beautiful! The barn tour was great! Wonder which mare is due first! ♥️🐴♥️🐎

      @Janet Major - my guess is either Saly or Walou. Definitely strange e
      Without Sjirkje being the first to have a foal!

      @@stephanielouiseslade6323 I think 3 of Sjirkje's foals have been born at the end of February! In the video today I thought Walou looked big, so you might be correct. When Yvonne announced the expectant mares she didn't give any idea of the dates. Lots of surprises in store for us!!

      @@janetmajor1152 Obviously the most important factor.....The well being of Queen Uniek, all mares and foals! I must admit to a certain anxiety, given the events of last May....
      This coming foal, of Uniek will be most important to Stal Horjus.....can imagine as the delivery date comes near, our Yvonne will have her own anxieties.. But the queen is strong and healthy...and Fonger.... WOW! Am expecting a very strong foal to arrive at Stal G....along with those of Walou and the Friesian mares....

    I'm glad that you are moving around and being with your beautiful horses! I hope that you get healed and back to well soon! This was certain a much better time to wean than before! I'm happy that it went as good as it did!!! I won't deny that it was bittersweet, but foals do grow up, after all.
