I’m in awe, it’s like you have Secretariat under you and you never got rattled. He’s a gorgeous horse.

As an arab owner, I appreciate how much work has gone into his training! Fabulous boy 😍

I just love the conversations the two of you are having in this video! A battles of wills (and won’ts) it seems. He gets a head of steam on and it is like trying to stop a runaway train. Flying is in his nature; stopping however, is not. 😂

I saw a wonderful, confident, positive trainer. The head tossing was a bit of normal sass that was being worked out. I saw gentle hands and truly a partnership with the horse.

My thoroughbred was testy when I first got her and eventually the dairy farm near by gave me 4 huge fields (with the gates left open) to use for a few months to be able to work with her after she bolted terribly with me. Every time she bolted I had the 4 fields to push her even when she wanted to stop. Sounds harsh but she got away with it by her previous owner so eventually I had to keep pushing her to teach her to only gallop when I ask and stop when I ask. Love how you stay so calm with your horses and you don’t just accept when they have a naughty moment. Too many riders get scared when their horses bolt and rather just not ride that pace again instead of teaching their horse what’s acceptable which then makes for a very difficult horse down the line for the next owner (if it comes to that).

Farouk is misbehaving again. Farouk’s saying “But mum I want to get home, to see the action that I’ve missing out on.” Farouk is really a very good boy.Well done Tara in what you are teaching Farouk 🌹🌹Brilliant video.🥰🥰🥰

Farouk's mane looks gorgeous in these videos. It has really grown long and luxurious. You can tell he's looking down that long road stretch and is just raring to go. Those long legs of his are tingling with the excitement of the upcoming gallop. Oooh and what a nice one it was... he's a wind dancer for sure! Every time you rein him in he tosses his head as he is ready to GOOOO! He says give me an inch and i'll take a field!!!! hahaha.. Good to see him feeling so feisty even if he's being a bit naughty. Love that shadow... watching his legs move as well as what your camera catches. Whew what a lovely ride. giggles..; "No, stand still... no no no... we can stand here all day"... love it.

The best feeling in the world... flying along with your horse! I never tire of seeing those black tipped ears twitching about 🖤💜🧡

Can’t believe how much energy Arabs have. Tara I enjoy seeing how you work with Farouk. As always Thankyou. 👍🏻😊

What a magnificent animal! As a city girl who once rode a horse who broke out into a mini gallop I thought I was going to die. Much respect to those who ride, so fast.

Watching this in 2022 and what a difference in Farouk now! He stands like a rock and minds his manners, not to mention he’s much less spooky! He even looks a bit less “ wild” since you plait his mane now. But I love this wild and slightly rebellious guy!

I once had a crazy accident with my horse. while we went for a canter on a field , just like your video, we stepped into a hole. My mare and I did a flip, and i cant canter while going on rides anymore because i started to feel super scared. I really miss this feeling. your videos make me relive some of those good times 🥰

I'm sure there is no other greatest thing in the world but to feel the true power and freedom of riding a majestic horse like yours.

I just love how much you use your voice with him. Just talking to him in a slow and nice tone when he gets a bit too excited. I don’t own a horse I ride at a riding school in Sweden. I never once hear anyone in my group talk to their horse but I do it all the time. Especially when I ride this young speedy mare and I can really tell how much more relaxed and slow she gets when I talk to her and pet her. Really great. She actually slows down more when I loosen the reins to pet her than when I pull. Lovely to see your connection with your horses!

I think if you gave Farook his head you'd end up in Scotland on a pretty speedy trip. Teehee ❤🐎

Gosh. He really does fly, doesn't he? I love how his mane goes to both sides by the way. Makes him look like such a rockstar. 😁😁😁

Eeeeek! We were going so fast! I wasn't ready and there is no western saddle horn to grab! Lol Geez, he's a fast horse! And you are so outstanding in your riding. I wish I could get to that pont! Hugs sweet lady!

That was superb riding & teaching for Farouk there Tara. Your techniques are the best & although I've ridden for over 40 years & worked in P2P yards, I am learning a lot from you. Thank you so much. Brilliant video. X

You can tame the horse, you can help mature it but you can not change their personality just like a human.. and you can’t control the horse but you can try, unlike this lady/man, they have control and take control over the horse. And I’m truely impressed by how you do it!

"Drinkers of the Wind" I don't know why it popped in my head, but a term associated with Arabs. And maybe why they are more difficult to collect? Farouk had a fantastic time, he loves to run. And to my eyes he was trying, but, bless him, he was still excited from the gallop! Nice vid Tara. :-)

Love the naughty mane shake and foot shuffle. 😉♥️Good stops at the end. He's a good boy. 🥕 Stunning two-tone mane.

I loved the way you taught Ferouk to stand like he should instead of shuffling around after the gallop. Well done. Jane.

I absolutely love seeing your videos. You can see how well looked after and loved they are. Makes me miss my TB. You are an amazing women x

Hi...I love "bonny" Farouk...and Tara...you are just MARVELLOUS with him.... I really don't think anyone could handle him like you....As you say...he can be a (nice x) "little monkey" but he cannot get away with it with you...I just love all you videos and all that goes on at the Tara Camp. Love to all....Bye for now xx 🌟💛

I would be scared the horse stepped in a pothole in the ground.

Wow he is fast. Although I know nothing about training horses I love the way you handle him. He has to know who’s in charge so that he does not hurt himself, you or anyone else.

Awesome job with that gate Farouk!! :D I love how gentle and clear you are with him.

He just loves to run and he is not keen on having to listen to someone saying "slower" … You, Tara, have nerves of steel. Of course, I realize you know Farouk, you know the fields you are running in & you are a great rider … but for me, it is thrilling just to watch from your head cam. Farouk is very beautiful - and he is simply all get up and go. I remember how much work the horses were - of course as a kid, it was all fun and games, but my dad was the one really busy with them. It will be interesting to see him get ready for all the eventing this summer. I hope you take Apollo out to some events, too. I seem to expect that he is a bit more predictable than Farouk, though I am sure he is ready to go too. Thank you for that great video!

Dear Tara, lots of love from Poland :) It has been so fast since I've just watched that first video of starting your work with Farouk and now you and Farouk are at this level.. Great horsemanship, beautiful horses and your love for them. All the best :)

It’s so amazing that’s he’s so voice controlled!

Very head strong today he was. Testing you to see what he can get away with since it's been a while because of winter. He wants to see if you've forgotten anything that he can now get away with. lol He's a smart one, that's for sure. Just not smart enough to get it, that Mom never forgets and he will not be allowed to get away with any misbehaving. lol As they say, can't blame a boy for trying. LOL Great work with him Tara! *high Five*

I love your communication with your horse. It seems like he understands it and is cooperating with you, very nice!

My goodness he so gorgeous, his mane so shiny. I especially loved how you handled him when he was being naughty. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💜🇨🇦

I'm so glad you two have places to go and run. So many horses don't even have pastures big enough to jump around, play with each other and their human companions and get proper exercise like their wild ancestors.

You're so brave catering and galloping on grass wet and muddy! We don't even like warming up at shows on the grass if its rained. We'll wait for the warmup pen to open up!! Great ride 🦄🐎😀🇺🇸

Love watching your videos! Miss my Arabians. Love the reminder of what great trail horses they are and how smart!

The winter is really showing on Farouk. You did a masterful job bringing him in and having a redo. Very well done! Xoxoxo

FANTASTIC VLOG TARA! It was so like really riding, I loved it so much! I loved it when you said 'go on then' and Farouk's ears flattened and he really galloped! My horse Minstrel had Arab in him - I'd love to ride a pure Arab though! Thanks so much for filming this as I really felt like I'd been out for a ride. Lots of love from Liz in Lancashire xxx 🐎💙🇬🇧

Oh! He does not like "slower"! He puts his nose in the air every time.

Those stops were amazing, especially after he'd had his gallop & loose rein. The building noises are all good for Farouk whilst he's safely tucked up in his stable, he seems to just ignore them - clever fella !

Wow what an incredibly rational and thoughtful ride and training. I appreciate you sharing that. He certainly is a very good boy.

I got the chuckles watching Farouk today. Not wanting to stop and shuffling and mane tossing! Like a rebellious child!

Look at you go! Like trying to control a speeding train with two pieces of string 😂 At least your train knows voice commands! And has the most beautiful mane EVER! 😄

I am so amazed when I can see your shadow while you are riding. I can see the different ways you sit on Farouk when you walk, trot, canter and gallop Great video

Ren is getting more professional all the time. Nice Ride. Thanks for sharing. Happy Trails

Such a wonderful connection you have with him :)

My favorite horses to ride are definitely Arabians and of course the Tennessee walker. Arabians are so beautiful, so energetic and sooo fast! 😊 There was an Arabian cross that I was training that everyone else was afraid to work with and ride. When I got to her, I could see why. I worked with her and then was able to ride her. It was so exhilarating. She reminded me of me. Lol.

In my opinion Farouk has the heart and soul of a true Race Horse He loves running his hearts content with his mane flying high in the wind . What a sight he would be if he were to run like he could . He is such a beautiful horse !! ❤️

I could listen to all day. You have some great riding country.

I agree.. I love the conversation between the two of you.

That was amazing, this brings back lots of memories thank you xx

Farouk was a chuga-chuga choo choo today lol He has one speed today which is fast, what a little monkey he was ❤️ He was doing well at the end with his halts. I am in Montreal Quebec where there is a white carpet of snow on the ground 😊 I enjoy your videos as I look at them before I get up in the morning 😊

Tara you are awesome! He’s a great boy!🤠💕🐴

Thanks for sharing this you’re a really good rider..and firm and calm..beautiful horse 🐴…really appreciate your video I’m a horse person too love riding…this is inspiring..subscribed

When he goes, he really goes I love watching him gallop and he is so much better with mud now xx

Excellent!!!!!! Loose rein WHOA! Love it Great horsemanship Tara

You don’t have to give Farouk much encouragement before he takes off, and then he has a hard time slowing down. He is so interesting to watch. His ears are always twitching back and forth so he doesn’t miss much.. He seems to be very intelligent. I think I missed the one when you were talking about shoeing a horse. Can you tell me about not shoeing a horse ( benefit for and against.) good job on getting him to stand. You are really good with him. Loved the whole ride. Thanks again for the video.💖🥰🇺🇸

Exciting ride!’ Seems there is no end to Farouk’s stamina!!

Ohhh how I would have loved to see a side video of him running! Woooo Hoooo he rides on the wind! Superb!

Beautiful greenery in February! So agree to take time to praise them when they do good . Overall mrFarouk was better . Well done Tara!💖💜🍀

Tell him that Kathy said he is the most beautiful boy I have ever seen. And he should be proud of his mane and tail!

He is a pretty horse he just needed all that energy out!!

Wow. Farouk’s mane is very long in this video. I got a good look at how long it hung down his shoulder when you opened the first gate.

After listening to your conversation with him, I now felt assured that I'm not alone in this practice, lol.

He's gorgeous! Love the two tone mane 😍😍

Riding along on that flat out gallop was scary fast. Later on the ride the whoa on voice alone was amazing.

Very good video thanks again tara can't wait until the next episode of Farouk, and tara very good..so how much more of the stable do they have to go there, can't wait until completely done there..👍👍🌟🌟

Ur horse is GORGEOUS

I started laughing when you were trying to get him to stand still. It reminded me of a child that is fidgeting to run in a toy store. :-)

In my younger days when I was a lot thinner lol I rode a lot and a lot of horses but I that was something else lol Farouk is so fast but at the same time he is a star for listening to u Tara especially for his age bless him xxxx

I love watching the gallop on the go pro. Thank you for sharing!

Oh wow, that was a speedy ride😲. Looked like tough lessons for him, but clearly so important to get these things right (ie correct) now (rather than later when it might be too late?).

Hi Tara, he is just a Machine... coming out of the Stall...do a little Canter for warming up the muscles...🤣🤣🤣 going over the field...yippehh...Mom I can feel the wind in my ears can you too ? ....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 It's probhably very hard for you to get him tired, the more you ask the more he wants to Run....Still you two are a Match made in Heaven...you Love and understand and teach him and he is willing to give his best...including all the speed and endurance he has..🙈🙈🙈. ... wonderful Team despite some discussions ......with my Thoroughbred Mare it got a little better after we kept her in a big Sand Paddock with an open Barn so she could move around with all her stable mates as a herd all the time..but Thoroughbred s/Arabians will be es they are....fast ...😇🤗 Take care Dagmar ❤❤❤❤

Such a cheeky boy, when asking him for something give him a chance to actually do it before asking again and again, also don't ask him too many things at once like slow, head down, stand still etc I used to do the same but once I stopped talking and using my seat and leg etc it was more effective than having to yell to get him to hear you :)

Lol @ 14 he was testing the patience. Gotta love animals.

Being an equestrian, I talk the way I would my horse to my dog LOL. ‘Tck tck tck tck’ ‘woah’ and such.

I love Farouk. He just loves a good gallop, it's just hard to change his mind at the end of a field. I could have never done this with my OTTB. She would have taken me to the next county or State here in the USA. Especially out alone. It's fun to watch Farouk learn and grow.

Farouk was being a cheeky little monkey! Lol

He is such a handsome boy!!

Born to run!! He is so fidgety some times haha! You are SO right, he is the type that needs stimulation all the time either riding or schooling or inter action. Just wondering if any one else has ever ridden him and what are your thoughts about that?

What alot of pep today. He loves to gallop,like flying. His luxurious name flying seems to make him go faster. 🐎🐎🐎🏇💗such power.

Yep he loves to fly! That's the Arab in him😊 I'm glad you are okay Tara.❤❤❤❤

He’s got the urge to run today Bless him . He’s just making up for lost time he’s adorable 🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🥕🥕🥕🥕🥕🥕❤️

Love your use of voice I didn't use that aid would now. But I was taught to think of the reins as a piece if cotton and never jerk, twist or yank good advice, but sometimes I would forget and use them. Nowadays, we know so much more about the actions of bits on the horse and care is required. Ever the “ kindest gentleness “ bit hurts the whole horse

Wow a great ride Tara you should have called him Rocket 🚀 well done Apollo. Next week Ascot 🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎

When he was really flying I found myself saying “ woohoo!!!” In my head. 👍❤️😂

I are such a good horse owner. it makes my heart smile. he is so happy

Naughty Farouk, you have to take care with your rider, so beautiful. Love the videos. I would love to have an Arabian horse, they have the most beautiful face, it's so unique.

Farouk seems to be having a great time... he's King of the Wind 😁

You handled him so well! Would you have any advise for handling a semi hot horse? My boy will always bunch himself up and sometimes explode with energy and power no matter what I do.

I just love Arabs. They are such flighty skittish horses by nature yet they are so intelligent and easy to train. He really is a beautiful boy well done

Beautiful horse and amazing rider

All those people who say it's cruel to ride horses and to 'make' them run ought to sit on a horse like this and find out for themselves just how hard it can be to STOP them from running!

Nevertheless he took it in and learned a lot. Glad to hear you again. My speaker fell out. Now I need a bette4r light too, but noyjing is perfect. Except Farouky!

Jesus!!! Farouk ist so schnell!!! Seine Mähne flattert wild im Wind! Was hat der Kerl Energie!!! Du musst eine exzellente Reiterin sein um da nicht Panik zu schieben! Ich glaube Farouk hätte nichts dagegen öfter mal so gefordert zu werden. Er ist gemacht für diese Geschwindigkeit🥰

Wow. Bit scary when you are going so fast that he doesn't want to stop! Farouk certainly has never been a horse for an unskilled rider, that's for sure!!!

Thanks for the vid and sharing.....had three Arabs.....know what it's like....love them like crazy....can see from Farouk's ears that he just wants to go....I used to just let them go....used to ride no saddle and no bridle! just halter...but lovely horses.....the best. Thanks so much for sharing. Looks like yr riding over a planted field? Easy to criticise but too much vocal. I always used to talk but mostly legs and body weight transfer...whatever.....he was under complete control all the time. thanks.

“No no...fidget bottom”🤣🤣

Farouk stops great with half halts! Have you tried half halts every few strides to smooth out his canter?

I love seeing his little ears flicking around
