A fortnight is an abbreviation of fourteen nights. You’re welcome. ☺️

I think Argento likes that hug around the neck in the morning

I really appreciated your explanation about why your stable. Very Informative.

My stable growing up had both mares and geldings. My horse was at the bottom of the chain with the other geldings but always defended the mares when they all went to pasture. I always admired him for that.

I really enjoyed this video lots of chuckles. Can’t wait to meet the ladies

I love the donkeys. They are so cute.

You guys are so amazing and your patience is so wonderful. Love watching your channel.

lol. He just ‘mansplained’ equine PMS 😂

My Great-Granddad owned 2 mares later on in his life ( all his other horses were geldings , except Stanley , an old stallion ) . Great-Granddad never had any problems with any horse . His mare Belle was given to him by a dear friend who had sold his farm and when she came to our farm GG determined she was in foal and almost due to give birth . Belle threw a darling little filly and GG called her Faery Belle . Both the mares were '' in love '' with GG and were never moody or grouchy . They both wanted to be as close as possible to GG . After Granddad passed away Faery Belle mourned him until the day she herself died . There were 7 other horses in the stable when GG died and they too mourned him for awhile but after a couple of months they quit looking for him ; Faery Belle never did .

Jack is definitely my favorite. He always looks like he’s late for something and is in a hurry. 🤣

The only stallions you guys have is Gavin, Joel and of course Andrew! Lol

You teach a lot .thankyou .

Love this video made me chuckle!

There is Nothing Worse than Broken Boots so we’re Glad to hear that Gavin got them Fixed. If there are additional issues with them, they should be Under Warranty. 👍

One of the few times on KZfaq someone just talk about horses and I watch the whole thing . That was very interesting and I learned something new.

Gavin seems like a cool chilled out dude. It’s fun to see him mostly in the background. Joel let him speak more. I find him so entertaining

This video sounds just like my marriage. A little hand tap on the back side and depends on her mood, I may get a quick swift kick. You never know how she will react. 😅 Just kidding, I'm a blessed man! God is good. Thank you for the wonderful video!

One of the best videos yet. I learned so much. Joel is a natural teacher!

I was not aware that it was very costly concerning insurance, when giving lessons. Makes sense. Just never thought about it. Changes......exciting! Thank you for sharing information about all those pictures on the wall. I always wondered about those. Very exciting news. Joel and Gavin, See you in the next one.

Yay! I love updates to your stable and this will be an interesting change. Thanks for all of the background info and including Gavin.

❤

Oooh how exciting! I love learning about horses from your channel 🐎❤

Excellent podcast in explaining why your stable has Geldings and the stable history.. Very thorough presentation. It helps us understand the horse 🐴 🐎 🐴 🐎 🐴 Stable much better. Thank you!

Thanks for taking the time to explain to us the history of the stables!

Thanks for the background and updates. Interesting career you have.

Like Callie says "and girls"

Great video Joel and Gavin, you taught this old dog some new tricks 😂 your mom has always been a beauty that gave you her best genes!

I think you should have subtitled this video "Things you can say about a mare but not a woman". I'm kidding...mostly lol! Anyway, great explanation. I had noticed that all of your horses were geldings but didn't know there was such an extensive backstory to it so thanks for explaining it and hopefully things work out well with your new arrivals. I'm sure you will take great care of them like you do with all the others

Can't you just say when the mares are on heat or in season? Horse people know the situation 🤣

Us females can be moody. 😁

You have William that's a stallion! One and only in ur stable! 😊

I can't wait to see how the dynamics at the stable change once the mares arrive. Those boys haven't had a mare around in quite some time. Should make for interesting times!

Good information about geldings and mares together. I had no idea. I knew that a stallion can be a big problem especially if mares are around, but didn't know mares could be ornery. Very interesting!!

What is the relationship between joel and gavin to the veggie boys and grandpa

New horses, yippee!

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing

Yep, fortnight is an Aussie term for two weeks. btw, Joel, can you go to the chicken pen and say, G'day Chooks for us Aussies, please? I bet all your Aussie fans will love that :) chook is the Aussie term for chicken :)

I had three mares for twenty years, very bomb proof I actually gave lessons on them 🥰 I actually have a gelding mini male horse he’s a little but most of the time

Well done to Gavin for knowing about fortnights. We use that regularly here in England. Nice to see you are filling your empty stalls.

Love watching! Great to hear your getting some horses to your stable.

That's all we ever owned was mare's. Never had a problem.

Interesting times ahead lots for us to see and learn 👏👏👏👏 Joel, Gavin the videos are always really good full of information and fun and always a pleasure to watch ❤❤👏👏👏🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Love from the UK x ps no beard ?

Happy New Year Stable life 🎉

Thank you for letting all know it is gelding only right now.

Great video, it finally answered many of the questions that I have asked before. I have wonderful memories of the first stable I took lessons at. The first horse was a older gelding named Copper Lad. Yes, he was bombproof as you say but after a while he also was not challenging in any way. As time went on and my knowledge grew, owners who didn't have the time their horses needed would ask me to ride and exercise their horse when they couldn't come. The stable was about a mile from my home and I would ride my bike there nearly every day. I'd muck out the stall, brush the horse well, check it's feet etc and record everything for both the owners and the stable for those horses. I loved that stable and a large amount of my childhood was spent there. Sadly due to illness the owners had to sell the stable and the new owners would not allow anyone who didn't own their own horse to be there. I had been riding and exercising a few horses for years and they tried to get the new owners to allow me to continue but they refused. The horse owners ended up moving their horses to a new stable and that stable ended up closing, for lack of customers, a few years later. I still have the ribbons I won at the stable shows and from the state fairs that a couple owners let me use their horse for. All wonderful memories!

2024 is off to a wonderful update. Life will not be boring as the girls come to town. Maybe Rocky and Buster might like a new friend.

Some exciting changes for a new year!

The nicest horses I ever worked with was a mare named babe Ironically the only horses that have ever bitten me were geldings and I have been around both a lot in my life.

I have had some very great mares, never marish. But have had one nasty mare that was always marish, but prefer geldings.

Gavin is matching the donkeys today

Very suitable explanation.❤

While I’m watching this, it’s been snowing in Eastern Connecticut for 12 hours. You are at the latitude of Stamford CT or New York City. You guys in the higher altitudes must have a good amount.

And I will only accept mares at my barn!!! It has been the geldings in the past that caused all the trouble!

Well you add more clean fill to entry it's really steep especially with all the rain and snow I always worry they will fall/slip

❤❤❤❤❤❤

Stupid question: will the two new horses go into the “new” stalls or into the other three that were just vacated? (William, Ronnie, & ??? - I forgot the last one🤷‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️)

How long during the day are your donkeys in the barn vs pasture?

We raised saddle bred we had mare's and stallion. He was kept in his own stall.

Great Vlogs, When editing your videos what program you use?

Why cant the donkeys have a stall in with the horses.

Good Morning Buddy! Looks really Good on this Brisky Morning!

very interesting, know nothing about horses but love the videos

Hi Joel could you not put the skid steer in your cleaning book???? thank you

Wait - wasn’t William a stallion?

I think a gelding only facility is very smart.❤️🇨🇦

Best friends mom had a mare. She was the best horse. Mom told us this is her only mare ever. Asked her why. She said one week a month a mare turns into a bag. That's when I learned mares have PMS

Donkeys get new. Coats?

🏇🏇🏇🏇🏇🐐🐐

What determines what field that the horses go in

Why did you have to look out the door into nature and utilize your hand emotions when you were describing what a gelding was😂

How much does it cost to board a horse at your stable?

I hope mares means foals in your future!

I’ve noticed some of the horses can put their heads out in the isle from their stahl and some can not. Is that due to some have a tendency to bit or nip? Please respond. I’ve asked this 3 other times.

Where is William?

Are you and your wife never going have children?
