DON’T FORGET to include your EMAIL address to become a Club Member. Apollo is our 10-year-old, pure-bred Friesian he is a good horse for a beginner rider. He has a lovely collected canter and is a great farter. He is herd leader over Farouk who is a pure-bred Arabian horse, Farouk is 8 years old and loves galloping and is a good endurance horse. He is the Grandson of the famous Marwan Al Shaqab and then there is Princess Bella a Three-Year Old pure-bred Andalusian filly her speciality is bucking and jumping for joy.

I think by now we all understand Apollo is built for grace and comfort and Farouk is built for speed and endurance! Love them both!

I hadn't really noticed until today how much larger the strides seem to be with Apollo. After watching you and Farouk doing the marathon ride, and looking over the tops of his ears, I noticed how smooth Farouk is and how much more motion there is with Apollo. Also, how much taller he is, as you had to lean farther over to reach the gate latch. I could listen to the clip clop of his hooves all day. That is so relaxing and soothing.

Surely Apollo and FAROUK are two very different horses, both always give the maximum of their abilities but it is very clear that FAROUK was really born and holds in the blood of riding without ever stopping, but our Apollo is always at the height of its elegance and sweetness when riding 😊
I would listen endlessly to the tick tock of the sound of Apollo's hooves

This was a fun video I think Apollo was saying I'm the boss at home I thought I could be the boss on the trail he was going to pick the way he wanted to go. It's fun just seeing the difference in them Apollo's a powerhouse and Farouk is asleep smooth boy but you know I'm partial I just can't help I love that little Arabia he is so fantastic thank you so much enjoy this video and enjoy all of them thanks for your hard work and all that you do to bring us this enjoyment have a good day

Tara, will have to take some cutters with you next time to trim off the overhanging branches on the path so you won't get slapped in the head so much?! Apollo is so in his element with mum 🤗🐴🐎❤🤍💙 Thank you for sharing your ride with Apollo such a good boy!

I love to see you back on Apollo. He has so much power.

A very relaxing video. The scenery is lovely. I also enjoyed the conversation. Thank you for sharing. Apollo is such a good boy. 🐎🥕🥕🥕🥕❤️

It's so interesting to just listen to the cadence and the hoof beats of each horse....lightness vs. a heavier step and horseshoes vs. bare hooves.

I had Arabians for over 20 years and loved them but I have to say Apollo is my favorite. :)

What a nice relaxing ride in the woods. Apollo seemed to want to try out the footpath instead! Monkey! The Coral ride is always pleasant and calming. ❤️❤️❤️🏇🏇🏇🥰🥰🥰

[gretchenchristophel]

What lovely trails you have for your rides...a little bit of everything. I think the Apollo/Farouk dynamic is the difference between driving a Mercedes Benz and a Ferrari.
Both are great rides...just depends on the style you are wanting for the moment.🤗

Very nice Tara! Love these ride alon chats.🐎😎

Good Afternoon Tara and Appolo. It seems like Appolo is enjoying a nice relaxing ride. With his mom Tara today. It seems like he misses you riding him too. And he is just listening to you Tara. And it was funny about Appolo was going take the wrong way. Like he was making his own trail ride. Appolo saying Mummy let's try a different trail today Mummy please. And you saying not today Appolo. It's going to rain today. Maybe next time. My sweet boy . All my love ❤️ to all

Ciao Tara, una bella passeggiata tranquilla. Apollo meraviglioso. ❤️❤️

[meloniedropik]

That mane blowing during Apollo's canter has me swooning. 🥰🖤🥰🖤🥰

Thank you for sharing with us some of the everyday experiences about taking care of your little herd, too. For those of us who don't know much about the responsibilities of owning horses, it is very interesting to hear.
