Just for Grins – Hiking with horse, cow, & donkeys

Agnes hiking with Iroy, her Haflinger horse, Cowy, her Highland cow, and her two donkeys through valleys and forest near her home in France. Iroy is loose, as is one donkey. Sometimes Cowy is also loose. They all follow Agnes.

I wasn’t sure if this video should be a Wednesday music video due to the dramatic music or a “Just for Grins” Sunday video. A donkey at the end of the video makes a statement for Sunday smiles. What do you think? Did I make a right choice? Hope you enjoy it was much as I do.

Video length: 2 minutes 40 seconds
Music: “Ameno” by the French group, Era, a New Age music project by the French composer Eric Lévi. They use pseudo-Greek and pseudo-Latin lyrics (by Guy Protheroe) deliberately devoid of any exact meaning. Group “Era” website in French.

Learn about Highland Cattle, like Cowy.
Learn about Haflinger horses, like Iroy.

They have beautiful photography of their Arabians on their blogs.

Wyoming Quarter Horse

In 1983, Bill and Carole Smith started the WYO Quarter Horse Sale. Over the years, it has developed into the nation’s elite Quarter Horse Gelding Sales. There are now two sales held each year in Thermopolis, Wyoming.

Video of Hickorys Buck Lot 34, a 2003 buckskin Quarter horse gelding, ridden in an arena and out on the beautiful Wyoming trails with background music uploaded on 04/24/2011 is no longer on Youtube.

Have replaced with a 2013 video of another QH ridden at their ranch. There is no music.

Joyce de Vos (Fox) lives in Nijeveen (Drenthe), The Netherlands. She draws on many different training methods and calls her style “Inspirational Horsemanship” that is “a process whereby you are inspired by everything and everyone around you”.

* Original in Dutch: “Inspirational Horsemanship staat dus niet voor één bepaalde trainingsmethode, maar een werkwijze waarbij je inspiratie haalt uit alles en iedereen om je heen.”

More about the horse, Indy.

Just for Grins – Horse iPad

Video length: 1 minute 11 seconds
Uploaded by  on Mar 7, 2012

Unveiling the latest revolution in equine technology, the horse iPad. Keep up to date with news, for horses. Surf websites, for horses. Connect with friends, who are horses. From the UK sketch show, Dawson Bros Funtime.

This would make a funny iPad commercial. I have family members with iPads who use them for work on the go. They all really like them. I’m just stuck with a desktop and my non-smart phone.

BTW… a tip: Make sure your horse won’t be startled by any of your mobile phone’s ring tones. Our horse trimmer was training a green broke Mustang out on the trail. The horse knew lots about the outdoor sounds and sights, but little about the modern world. The trimmer’s cell phone rang and the horse took off worrying about the weird sound up on his back. That call went to voice mail.

Icelandic horses relaxing in herd

The horses paw and prance and neigh,
Fillies and colts like kittens play,
And dance and toss their rippled manes
Shining and soft as silken skeins;…
~Oliver Wendell Holmes

Icelandic horses in Iceland are kept in herds in open pasture to grow up and mature. The herd dynamics develop a naturally socialized horse. They are started under saddle when they are 5 years old.
