Just so you all know - we do not eat horse meat in Scandinavia! The owner said, he could very well have been bred for meat - they are known for it - no we are NOT - and she ended - I don`t know----- no, she doesn`t!!!!!!!!! Ardenners are traditionally used in the forest - summer and winter, working with dragging trees out to the roads.

Thank you for that clarification! I was really surprised at the idea that Sweden would use horses for meat! Edit: But I also just googled eating horse meat in Sweden in 2022, and immediately prices came up for horse meat being sold for consumption. So it seems there might be horses bred for them to be slaughtered for meat!

@@louisegogel7973 we do eat some horsemeat in scandinavia.. mostly used in sausages of some kind. I have not seen it in dsoplay as horsebeef or any clean cut of meat. Not in Norway, and not in sweden. So,, it is not something that people have for dinner. Iceland DOES raise horses for meat ( and other things), and you will eat it just like any other piece of beef or pork. It tastes fine, a bit bland maybe.

Horses is sweden are not bred for meat but we do use meat from horses in some things. The meat comes from horses that needs to be put down for other reasons, who havn't been medicated or have some illness that would affect the meat. I breed North Swedish Horses (draft horses but not as heavy as ardenner) and we got one foal, a mare, that didn't turn out the way I wished and when she was two I decided to put her down instead of selling her, not having any control of where she ended up or if someone would use her for further breeding and pass her weakness on in our breed. I think it's good that we use meat like that instead of just waste it.

Swedish Ardennes in a nutshell, you have to raise them early. work with these and their short front legs make it difficult for them to stand on themselves if they become too fat- popular hobby horses with young people who don't realize that they need to work to feel good about their bodies. myself, I advocate more local small slaughterhouses that take horses, both for the environment, health, and the economy. Horse meat is good, Gustafskorv, for example. of course we slaughter and eat horse. it just doesn't show. just like in many other countries, we slaughter those that do not turn out well in the exterior, for example, not suitable as hobby horses, etc. In some cases, a thoroughbred horse does not feel good about ending up in the hands of another human after having trotted as a stallion all its life. they can't handle it mentally in some cases. but the positive thing is that the trotter is retrained in more cases than they are slaughtered. applies to both cold-blooded trotters and warm-blooded ones. nice to see a Swedish Ardenner here. they are wise animals with more dynamite than people think, sensitive individuals

As someone with most experience with Shires over 2000lbs and 17 hands high minimum. You said something about careful about them not stepping on your toes and steel toe boots. Do NOT use steel caps. Either no cap or carbon fiber . A draft horse can fold the steel toe and CUT your toes instead of crushing them. Steel toes arent tough enough for those animals, so carbon will protect from most accident and will turn to a crushing force if it fail which is easier to heal and repair at the hospital. 👌

My great grand da had a team of Clydesdales that he used for farming and working in the bush. He never took a whip or a switch to either of them. He would tell his boys to stand, and they would stay where he put them until he came back. But one day there was a guy in the bush with a pair of Shires who weren't working as a team. So he went and got a thin whippy twig and was going after his horses with it. My great grand da told Robbie and Bob to stand, went over to the guy, and grabbed the switch and started hitting the guy in every unprotected place on his legs and arms. Then he broke it in half, told him to unhook his team and go home and take care of his horses wounds. And when they were healed, if he wanted to learn how to handle his team properly, to come see him. Then he left him in disgust. And there was Bob and Robbie right where he had left them. He picked up the lines, and all the other guys in the bush, told him, you just pissed off the best horseman in the area. People go to HIM to have their horses trained with them to work. And they had all left their horses with the one word, STAND. They then went back to their teams, and all of them were as disgusted as my great grand da, and my grand da was the same with horses. So it must be a gene that is inherited. Because I've had people come to me with problem horses, I also rehab horses from injury and deliver foals. I delivered 4 this year. 3 fillies and 1 colt. I work with the foals, and when they go home with their mothers back to their owners, they can have their feet handled and trimmed, and I actually, at 3 months, will start tapping their hooves with the back of a wooden brush. Because this prepares them for their first pair of shoes later when they come back to me to be backed. 💖 💖 Stay Safe Everyone!! From Ontario, Canada, Jenn. 💖 💖 🇨🇦 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

There was a man hired to train our Belgians, and he used a running w tripping setup 'to teach them whoa'.Despicable SOB and despite my being a teen, I threw his ass off the place when he turned a wonderful willing mare's knees into hamburger, tripping her on pavement with an unreliable teammate, who panicked and dragged her. A year or two later, another draft breeder had him working and showed up at our fair. A young colt kicked at him, so this twit took a rope to the colt. Then after he was sure he was dominant, he came directly behind the colt and started slapping him , stating 'oh you wont kick anymore!' Before we could step in, the colt promptly knocked him on his ass in the dirt behind the trailer with a beautiful two footed kick in his fat belly, and we all cheered his departure....permanent, when the owner found out. Our horses were then being handled by a man who truly knew his business, and it was such a pleasure to observe.

@@RICDirector Horses DON'T learn through pain. I learned that from my great grandfather. He had a farm and in the winter, people would hire him and several other farmers, to clear some trees off their land to enlarge their fields. My great-grandfather's team would work as a team, just on voice alone. And he helped other farmers train their younger horses. He was working in the bush with 3 other men and their teams. This one man, his horses weren't working as a team. So this one man went and got a switch. A very thin, green twig off of a tree. And he was whipping his horses with it. All the men stopped dead when they heard my great-grandfather stop his team. He went over to this man, grabbed the switch, and started whipping him wherever he wasn't fully dressed for winter. He never hit him on his face though. The man ended up on his knees crying. My great-grandfather then went to the horses, who were shaking in fear. It took him 30 minutes to calm them down. Then he told the man to get the heck up, un-hitch his team, go home and take are of his horses wounds. And if he EVER wanted to LEARN how to have a team that works well together, come see him when they were healed. All the other guys walked by this man, and told him, "You've just pi$$Ed off the wrong horseman. He's the BEST MAN with horses in 3 counties. People even come up from other Provinces here in Canada, to learn from him".

Here in New York, USA all the ridding I've ever done has been daily trail ride rentals. You go to a stable, pay a fee, they bring a saddled horse to you (often with mismatched tack), you get on it, and you follow a string of others like yourself led by one of the people from the stable through a trail in a park or forest. When you are done one of the stable hands takes the horse away after you dismount. There are never any instructions given to the rider as the stable operation assumes the rider will simply sit on the horse. Because of insurance reasons many stables will only allow the horse to walk and not trot or cantor anymore like they once did. Generally,, any ability for the rider to make the horse walk or turn or backup or anything else is simply an aspect of the horses knowing what their daily routine is because few riders know how to control the horse at all. That's why I enjoy Steve's videos because you can learn why a horse does what he does and how using pressure correctly is the reason why the horse does.

Interesting, I'd not ridden at a public stable in many years. Always had horses, but occasionally we'd have lots of relatives over and not enough mounts to go 'round, so we'd head for the lake where there was a riding stable. Back then, there were almost no rules, they didn't have a problem with us trotting or loping the horses--but they did forbid a flat gallop, to their credit. Of course, this stable was in the lower mid-west, I think the rules tend to be tighter on the coast--rode in New Jersey (I think it was) while I was in the Army back in the early '80's, and they were stricter. Anyway, your comment interested me, as I'm sure things have changed substantially over the years.

Brilliant! Thank you to Steve and the daughter! 27:45 When you lead a horse by holding close to their head, you won’t know if they are pushing on you or not, but they will, and that is why leading with a loose longer rope or reins is so helpful. This is most important when you are doing the initial ground work. (Thank you for this clear explanation!) Taking incremental steps towards the goal is awesome and exactly how I taught my four children how to drive my standard shift car. 1) I had them sit in the car, no key, emergency brake on, and learn how to depress the clutch fast and release it slowly until they really got it. 2) They next kept the clutch in and shifted gears to locate each one and how to move into each. 3) Putting both those steps together, they would engage the clutch shift into first, slowly release, engage the clutch, shift to reverse, etc etc until that was familiar. 4) Next I had them engage the clutch and brake, turn on the engine, shift to first, slowly release the clutch until the gear engaged… that “sweet spot” (which is where Steve always waits for the horses to reach before releasing his pressure on them), then depress the clutch quickly and repeat until they got totally good at knowing where that sweet spot is. 5) I then had them move forward on a flat surface for six inches and six inches back. 6) Then we went to a safe place, our local graveyard was an awesome practice place with level stretches and slopes ranging from gentle to San Francisco really steep spots where we could practice hill starts. Steve does the same thing. He breaks the task into steps and guides the horse through each step as they understand and do well the previous one! Awesome Steve! May many more people look at life this way and find joy and success in breaking the task into doable steps so that the doing becomes a joy of many small accomplishments.

Ardennes is a race descended from the Ardennes. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish_Ardennes They are not bred for food. But... Scammers have gone around buying all kinds of old horses. Told the owners who may only have them on rental stables and no land of their own that they should be allowed to come to a retirement home, then they can buy them cheaply or for free. Then they drove them to the slaughterhouse instead. :( Otherwise, it is most common for them to be anesthetized, bled and given a fine burial on the owner's farm. Or cremated if they died at a veterinary station. It is allowed to bury a horse at home.

A foal must learn to be a horse. Usually that teaching comes from the mare, his mom. When a foal is orphaned and is raised by humans they are often pushy and mis behave. We want to cuddle and hug. They need put in their place. Do not hand feed…a horse fights daily for pecking order. If they take food from your hand, they naturally will dominate you. So women who nurture, BEWARE of being the whipping post for your horse.

totally different release on the foot. I prefer to put their feet down myself. That way if I let the hoof down or the horse doesnt feel my hand he/she wont take his/her feet away and down. So I guide the hoof back down and press it on the ground when Im done. I noticed that letting it down the horses would get confused and keep it up a while, then try to put it down. I dont want them to learn to try to put their feet down at all. Also, I feel it's nicer not to leave them in a gray-area of not knowing what to do. I pick their feet up, and they know they get it back only when I put it back down. Basicaly, the goal is if I touch their feet they become big puppets I can place their limbs anyways I want. Goes not only for trimming hooves but for treatment of mites or cleaning the abundant feathers (Shires) Their brains are fantastic

Seems very very unlikely that he'd be bred for meat in Sweden of all places. It's not exactly a profitable business, keeping horses is quite expensive. When horses are slaughtered for meat in Nordic countries it's retired, injured sports horses or riding horses etc. Hopefully the owner gets the message so she doesn't unnecessarily feel sorry for the horse.

QUESTION: Do you think this horse is fundamentally a gentle giant? He seems to have the feel of a horse that once trained likes to go along with the program.

I'm addicted to these videos now - I wish I'd had this knowledge when I was younger. We never had dangerous horses as such but we put up with a lot of pushy nonsense sometimes that didn't really need to be happening, or you'd end up frustrated which didn't help anyone. That horse is stunning. People often talk about bad behaviour as though 'that's just soanso's personality' and I've certainly been guilty of that; but you can see that it isn't, really. A potentially great horse that you could have a wonderful relationship with can have problematic behaviours and anxiety that cover that up. Not that hormones etc. don't sometimes affect the way they react too, but even then, watching you with that little Welsh stallion earlier showed that it can be managed if you have some understanding.

I do not think there is a horse meat trade in Sweden in terms of horses being bred or kept for meat, I think that is in Eastern Europe. Swedes are horse lovers. As an ex-patriate Swede I would find that horrifying. I grew up with horses there and never heard of it. I know it happens in central Europe. The clips show the Swedish 'Nordsvensk' (the brown horses) which is a farm/forest horse that is native to Sweden and has an exceptional temperament. It is smaller than the Ardennes, which is the subject of the video here. I really admire your work Steve!

@@shawnalLovesJesus Shawna - as far as I can tell he is using his telephone or a tablet to film most of his videos. He has his telephone positioned vertically rather than horizontally. When you turn the phone vertically you don't get a wide screen version. You only get a narrow version with more at the top and bottom than left to right. Yes you can change different screen modes in KZitem but that doesn't correct for a narrow screen. It just makes the narrow screen bigger. He may have corrected it in the most recent video I've seen. Not sure what he has done or when he did it. It is a common error when using your telephone if you want to make a normal picture. Narrow/horizontal are used for different applications.

@@shawnalLovesJesus - Yes, you can adjust the size of the KZitem screen by the buttons on the lower right of the screen including mini player, Theater Mode and Full Screen but that is not the same as what I am describing. Best way to demonstrate is to pick up your phone and take a video. First with phone in the vertical position and then continue with the phone in the horizontal position. You can see the difference on the playback or project it onto your computer or make a short KZitem video using the free VLC Media Player. You will immediately see the difference. One is a full screen picture the other is the slim vertical picture. It will only take a minute or two. Here is a picture of a new calf I took with my phone horizontally. Compare that with the vertical picture. I presume were talking about the same thing :-) kzitem.info/news/bejne/z26o3IymiJaqYGk

The sound levels are much improved here. Normally too many segments are too low to be heard. Now the volume is better but there are now too many segments with EXPLOSIVE levels. It still requires constant changing of speaker volume to make them intelligible and watchable. Is there any way to equalize the the levels for your entire sound track?

It strikes me that as horses are one of the first domesticated animals there have been millennia of breeding for gentle, intelligent creatures able to become human companions. Even now a mean or hard to handle horse is likely to be gelded rather than bred.

No, horses are not breed for meat in Sweden. Ardennes are working horses for plowing feelds and working in the forrest. They are seldom riden because they get a verry wide back, They are kind gigants usualy. They grow slowly so often they start training at age 3-4. That one is still growing, only a youngster. I wish good luck, they are loyal family friends. Keep your feets away from his hows, they do crush bones, I talk from own experience. I dont work with horses anymore but do enjoy your films realy good. Thank you! From Sweden.
