Tara, ApolIo was looking around checking out everything and thinking "Mom, my new stables are coming along quite nicely."

Apollo cane in and looked around like he was pleased to be able to see what all the work was. What a precious buddy you have there, Tara.♡

I know this a year later but: Who else but Tara would walk a Friesian horse into her house? Love it!

His presence just brings smile. Good boy.

This video is older, but I can't help but marveling at how beautiful Apollo looks, when he is inspecting the house! So well behaved, & curious too! 💜💜💜

Tara...I think this is one of my very favorite videos. The look of wonder and amazement on Apollo's face is just priceless! He is an amazing horse.

Loved seeing Apollo checking out your digs, taking it all in! What a gorgeous, intelligent horse. Beautiful rose.

Made my day for sure....Apollo is very special...I'm in love...he's ready to move into his new digs...

Oh, Apollo, the Building Inspector has arrived (I knew it was only a matter of time!)! Looks like he approved! That was great! 😍

Apollo’s visit is wonderful. He’s been involved in the pool, the new yard and the paddock makes me smile. Thank you

Oh Apollo! You really are a labrador at heart! The way he followed you into the kitchen and was looking around curiously! I think he is the best horse ever ♥️♥️ Wires with screed on top can't be right! Hope they change this before it sets!! Special love to Apollo 😍 and speedy progress with the renovation! What beautiful kitchen it will be for cooking the Christmas meal!! 🌲

Apollo is so awesome. He was like ohh this is what all the fuss is about it.

Hes one in a million is Apolo. ❤ I remember as a young girl walking my pony through the house as it was quicker than taking him round to get to a certain paddock 😂 that was until my parents caught me! They were not impressed. Lol love these videos Tara, thank you. ❤❤❤

A beautiful home for a beautiful family! Apollo approved🐎

Loved to see your big but gentle visitor. He appears to approve of the work to date. Sweet Apollo.

Making excellent progress. Apollo was very interested! Can't wait to see the next Part! Xoxoxo

Tara the very best part of this video was when you brought Apollo in , to inspect your house. He looked all around in quiet approval , as if he was inspecting to make sure it was all good enough for you. Only you would bring your horse in the house Tara, I think it is so you . What a beautiful horse and all the beautiful manners he has. What is not to love about Apollo, a Royal horse indeed !

Absolutely the most magnificent horse!!! I am loving him-thanks so much!

I think Apollo thought he had new living quarters. What a huge remodel, goodness gracious that’s a lot of work. I can’t wait to see it finished.

Thank you very much for showing us your journey thru home renovations ! I had an old home & it was built before anyone even kept records (so no one had any idea how old it was). We just know it was already there when the little town it was in was " revised" over 140 years ago. That was the only thing we could find to even give us an idea of how old it was. I am really enjoying watching you do your renovations. I really miss my older home ! We had to move due to my husband getting another job far away. Thank you for sharing your journey with us ! Its greatly appreciated!

Love seeing home renewals...we've had our own here as well in 🇺🇸....but we didn't have your beautiful Apollo inspecting ours...🤣😉 he gave his hoof seal of approval for mum an dad's house renovation though 🐴 too sweetest 😍❤🤍💙

Oh. My. Goodness....remodeling and APOLLO! It cannot get any better! MORE, PLEASE.

"Hey am I getting a new house? I like the size, it's better for me "

Apollo is just the best horse , he just took it all in his stride , nothing fazes him what a fantastic horse he is , hope the wiring will be fine , it’s all going to look lovely when its finished 😊

What a beauty he is, the best horse every, I have seen plenty of friesians, and I think he could beat any of them❤️

Wow, it’s so interesting to see the materials that were used 120 years ago versus the current building processes today. Just can’t say enough about Apollo observing what’s been going on. You just have to wonder what he’s thinking. His expressions are timeless. Thanks so much!

Revisited this video today and I was once again struck at what a special and lovely moment between you two. I love the way he looks around and how you are looking at him. Just lovely. Thank you for sharing this sweet moment. 💗🐴

Apollo - what a big, beautiful horse. It looked like he didn't want to leave!

Apollo is scheduled a star, he looked so interested😊 he's a wonderful horse.🥕🥕🥕 Home you got the electrical wires sorted out with the builders. Look forward to the next installment.

He’s probably thinking what a mess. He’s so beautiful 😍

Tara I just love to watch Apollo, like you said he is like a labrador puppy- I've rewatched several times him helping with the new water trough in the yard paddock and this house visit by him triggered a great memory of another person, both of you just shine with love for animals and they sense it and give back tons of love and trust. My friend had a german warm blood, also black and huge. His name was Oscar, and she was training with him in dressage to try for the olympic team many years ago. These two were inseperable. She spent so many hours with him doing training, just riding and just being together. It was not unusual to show up at the stable first thing in the morning and find Oscar laying down asleep in his stall with his head in her lap and covered with a light blanket-both sound asleep. He too would follow her around like a puppy. You remind me of her-just too awesome---both of you.

Glad you linked this one Tara or Rens. 👍😀 Ive never seen Apollo's eyes so big and beautiful as he comes on and has a good look!

Apollo was intrigued by it all, he is a wonderful horse. It’s good he had another experience, the more the better

Really enjoying the kitchen renovation Tara but the cherry on the top was seeing Apollo checking it out 🤣👍🏻X

Too funny! What a great building inspector you have!

It’s coming along Tara ...I’ve got some roses out still too. We had lots done to our place..and now we may be moving to a even bigger place after doing it all.😬 It’s funny our Shetland had a look in our new annexe too lol. How sweet of Apollo. Apollo a gentle boy.

This is one of my favorite videos of Apollo. I watched this 3 years ago and left a comment about my Hackney pony.

Oh my gosh! Look at his curious face.love this Tara!

I just love Apollo ,when I had my horses i would always get told I had weird animals, I'd go for a ride out on our property with my sons pony would follow my dogs our immature goat and the cat would tag along behind me, there was a riding school close by who inevitably would always pass me by on my rides and get a good laugh at my animal procession.

Apollo is such a amazing beautiful horse it so lovely how he looked round .A great video once again i always look forward to your videos 😊.

I loves how he looks around in there, inspecting everything. Yes, he is just like a Labrador!

Apollo my boy, he's thinking I have better more comfy floor than this. Oh poor mum, you need to spend some money 💰 on yourself. 😆 🤣 Not to worry your cabinets should cover the wires and it doesn't hurt the wires as long as nothing sharp can cut them. They have a coating on them that is strong enough to withstand normal construction. Love 💘 the work they are doing. My home is from 1905ish and we remodeled the whole thing. I love old homes. Ours is all wood, wish it were stone. Although in 1967 it was moved from downtown Dallas to 25 miles north. They couldn't have done it if it were stone. It is a Prairie style which predates Craftsman style by same architects. Anyway love your videos.

Looks like it has passed inspection! My first morgan pony loved to hang out in the garage during bad weather, hail, tornados and such. Or maybe it was the frozen daiquiri my father would unwittingly share. My pony was very sneaky and could slip his lip into the glass before anyone was the wiser. He also liked Cola from a can... not that we had much of that kinda thing in the house, but any human type drink was fair game (:

Apollo wanted to come back when the kitchen was finished. Hoping for a home-cooked meal. lol A lot of work going on. Hubby and I built our first house 36 yrs ago. What a job it was. Thanks, Tara for sharing.

Apollo thinking 🤔 I could move in here it’s so roomy also this could be my new stable mum & you & dad can live up stairs.🥰 I love 💕 Apollo’s facial expression when he sees inside your house Tara. 😍

The sense of calm with Apollo; wonderful. - can't wait for a kitchen update!

That was quite fun having Apollo come in and check things out. Looks like things are progressing quickly. What a beautiful rose with the water drops, I just love roses. 👍🐴🌹

He is a very confident horse, no doubt about it. He also trusts you implicitly. Plus you have never tried to kill his curious streak.

Apollo was happy to see what was going on with all of the workers going in and out of mem and dad’s house. I think he considers mem and dad a part of the herd and he’s being protective of his family by doing a security check. Animals are very protective of their environment and his family.

Irs looking great Tara! That's WHT I love about English homes 120 yr old ones like yours. History oozes from the place LOL. Cant wait to see next phase. Apollo in house was a hoot!

Wow, he is gorgeous

The renos are coming along. I am sure you can't wait to be done. I have some psychological trauma after major renos a couple of years ago! LOL Good thing Ike is on the job to sort out the wires! I cannot say enough about Apollo. He has very intelligent eyes and he looks like he is curious about your home so is really taking it all in. As many have said, he is like a big dog ... calm but alert to his surroundings. One in a million. Loved the red rose, too. Thanks so much for letting us peek into your renovations. Looking forward to the next installment.

That was the most Darling thing I have ever seen, Apollo having a good look around, he was thinking,"yes, this is the building of the new kitchen, I hope they invite me to afternoon tea, carrot cake for me please Tara".

Thank you for the video! I'm sure apollo was wondering what was going on🐎

ROFL with Apollo coming into the kitchen. He is like a big dog and so observant....look at him looking around the kitchen. He is adorable.

Apollo loved going in your house bless him 😁❤

Apollo is so curious and intelligent. I love that you showed him the inside of your house. He is a part of the family after all! Your home is going to be even more beautiful when it's finished!

I can't understand some people giving you a the thumbs down for goodness sake.. wh aat's wrong with them . If they don't like it .. don't watch ... there's plenty of us loving your video's... Loved your gorgeous red rose and Apollo's such a goid boy . A real mate 💜

Apollo is such a curious chap and it’s so good that he isn’t nervous but full of confidence I can’t wait to meet him on Saturday

I love this video! Your home is coming along nicely. Inviting Apollo into the house was so cool. He acted like it was just another day! He sure checked everything out. Like this would sure be nice for my own digs! Those wires in the cement would bother me too! Curious! We just sold our beautiful property, and are moving. But so far we haven't found a house we like. So we'll keep searching! This is not fun! Have a great day, Tara!! 🤗😘💖👌🧚‍♂️🥂🌷

Apollo is adorable xxx.....What beautiful horses you have with Apollo and Farouk...at times...they are almost human...I'm sure they understand everything you say to them and know how much You and Rens love them....You are all amazing...xxxx 💙💚💛

Apollo looked huge in the kitchen 😆 It's coming along nicely 👍

"So this is where you live mum, I think I prefer my stable, thanks, no homely comforts in there!"

He is just thinking, “so this is it?”

That is so cute. Reminds me of a time 30 years ago when I nearly brought a very nosy thoroughbred we had into the house for a look at "where the people live." I came to my senses before actually bringing him in though. Apollo is a dear.

He is so smart and curious. You can just see it in his face. What a great guy!

I can’t wait to see your gorgeous new kitchen.

So, this is where you live Mum! Apollo is looking gorgeous!

Too perfect!! I love 💘him! Bless you!

he's such a wonderful "pet" , and Ike the supervisor of course, love seeing the progress, thanks Tara

Look at the horses reaction when you took him in

Awwwwww-Apollo!! Just wants to be with you and is curious. 😀😀So brave to just walk right in through the narrow opening and into the room! Totally relaxed!!! I just love him!❣️ I wish I could wrap my arms around him and give him a big squeeze!! Yes, it seems it would have been so easy for them to move those wires instead of plastering them in but I guess they know what they are doing😳 And the beautiful red roses!👍🏻👏🌹❣️Thanks Tara👍🏻💕👏

Thank you for showing us the renovation Tara. In addition to being curious, I’d say Apollo trusts you very much. He’s such a wonderful horse and you and your husband take such good care of him and all your animals. You’re giving me a look into a world I’ve only seen on TV. We don’t have homes like yours. At least I’ve never seen one here in North Carolina. I’ve also never seen a Friesian (spelling?) in person. I’d love to though. Can’t wait to see everything once you’ve finished. 😃

Such a beauty 😍

Love Apollo❤️❤️❤️

Such a wise chap. My horse always wanted to come in the house but the steps on the deck and porch prevented her doing so. The house is really coming along. Thanks Tara. TTFN 👋

This is one of my favorite videos of Apollo looking around your kitchen figuring out where the humans go at night!

Lol! Apollo the building inspector approves! Gosh, what an upheaval though! It's worth it in the end though. Can't wait to see the finished result! 💕🐴

Hi Tara and Rens, lots going on, wow...beautiful red rose with the rain drops looking like diamonds 💎Apollo’s face is wow this is amazing is this my new stable 😜. He approves of the changes so far 🥰👍🌈

You are the man Apollo...nothing scares you or Ike! Tara the work is coming along beautifully...love, love, love your door! Ask at least 3 of the men about those wires in the floor, one of them should know what they're talking about! lol

That is one beautiful horse 💙

Apollo is so adorable. He did have a really good look. 😊 xxx

Your kitchen is going to be gorgeous. You bringing in Apollo in reminds me that when I was a kid, my neighbor's first horse was a shetland/Welch pony. Her mom used to feed Trixie treats outside the kitchen door. One day we went to the store, came back, Trixie was in the kitchen. Great memories. Thank you for sharing with Apollo and with us. Thank you Ren for giving Tara a great kitchen. What a star.

Still the best!! 🐎♥️

Wow Tara what a mess! Of course it has to get worse before it gets better, when I was younger I used to watch a program called Horse in the House and you bringing Apollo into yours reminded me of that, looks like Apollo is after lke's supervisor job lol, l,m really looking forward to seeing your kitchen completed, tfs x Julie

Just love appolo xx

My friend tried this with her pony, unfortunately it was floorboards & her Dad was not too pleased when he had to replace a lot of broken ones !! Love how it didn't bother Apollo one bit, as if he always pops in for a coffee & carrot !! I cannot wait to see your finished kitchen, it's going to be amazing !

Apollo is such a trusting boy. He follows you right in through the narrow low( for him) doorways.

Hi Tara. Wow what a big job. But when it is all done it will last another 150 years. The extra window let's in a lot of extra light and that always has health benefits when indoors. The red rose with the raindrops on was beautiful. One to meditate on. Gorgeous deep red colour. Apollo had a very good look around. Little caption above his head. (What's going on here mom I prefer my stable). Can't wait to see it all finished. Hope your cold has gone now. Thanks for vid and the wires should be above cement just incase they need to be looked at at some point. I would get the builders to make sure of that Tara. All the best with the rest if your renovations. You all have a wonderful home to cherish and take care of and as with your horses it is brilliant. (✿❛◡❛)xx

Quite a horse you have Tara! Keep us posted, now you have me wondering about those wires!!!

Mom, this stable is a...MESS!!!:)

Apollo says “Don’t think much of your stable mum 🐴”

Oh I loved Apollo getting to come inside....he was just so curious about everything...he is so smart...

This was great! Thanks for making my day. Apollo the Labrador :-)

Stay on them Tara- they will have to free those wires up all throughout the room. I wonder too, the scree is not all the way to the edges below the molding at the floor. You pointed out the walls, and said they did not do as good a job on lower parts but cupboards would be there-- but what if you decide to change cupboards and now the walls are not finished properly- they should fix that as well. I don't envy you and the amount of work and effort this huge job entails. Best of luck and with Apollo keeping you smiling all should be well. Good video.

Just LOVED seeing Apollo in the kitchen - he’s so fabulous! I’d love to have a horse in my kitchen, especially him 🤗 yes that wiring is a big worry. Surely that can’t be okay can it? What if it needed replacing in future ? How would they get it out 😆 omg. But it’s going to be magnificent once done. I can’t wait to see it all finished 👏👏👏👏👏

Apollo he's just a big docile horse he's amazing I luv him so much yeah inquisitive too he's just looking around saying this is what there doing he's incredible he's soooooo placid isn't he Tara beautiful red rose with raindrops on it quite poignant ty for sharing

Awe how cute! 🐎

Apollo looked like he was enjoying himself...he is such a curious boy! Looks like your kitchen is coming along quite well, you’ll be happy to start cooking again I’m sure! Well ...then again maybe not😉

It's all fun and games till he knocks at your door at 3 am wanting a beer.
