A bit of a problem was the water shyness of Camo. The near flooding of the very large meadows (many available acres are on about 6 feet higher ground, so there is absolutely no risk for the boys), because of the high water level of the river after 6 weeks of rain and no winter at all, gave me a perfect opportunity to get rid of that shyness.

  • What about William? Does he have the same shyness?

  • @Nigusi1985 not anymore, see my early video's

  • Lovely! And I see the dogs show Camo, but Camo walks back to his known path back to dry land. Colors in the sky and the light remind me a paintings of Paris in rain my fatherer brought home. How old is Camo, now?

  • @lisa8220 Camo will be 5 march 30th

  • Some horses (and ponies) just don't like walking thru water because they can't see the ground.  Looks like your working with him will help with that. And the dogs look like they have no problem with the water...lol

  • @santarosie The dogs show him, that water is actually fun...

see all

  • I would really like to gallop through that :P

    Maybe it is better to do that on the beach ;)

  • @hackneysaregreat Oh, no, I have been telling my niece Camo was a yearling, and he wasn't yet used to puddles. She is going to be very impatient with Camo, as she is not even five and jumps in the deep end. Don't worry, I found another video that will make her understand. We will visit weekly.

  • i really love your videos !!!! i didnt see that often that people love there animals and care so good at them as you do !! thx alot for sharing your patient and comprending about these animals with us!!! (sorry for my english )

    grats from luxembourg xoxo

  • This is my 'calm down' video for now. One day Camo will learn that he can float. All in good time, no rush. Then you have a problem like William and the blacksmith. You and your dogs are the ones for the job. Trust and faith is all.

  • Do they make pony galoshes??

  • is it always that windy there?
