    I really loved the warmth that came from not only the horse but also from his owner. She seemed a very kind and gentle soul...just like her horse! Thanks so much for sharing!
  • I have to admit it....this is my favorite horse breed that you have ridden. Like something out of a fairy tale...expected to see a fair maiden, gown flowing, riding side saddle come into view. His trot is like a "gaited" horse...very level and no bounce to his back or rear. Amazing that he was only recently introduced to the saddle...you probably felt like a feather on his back. Magnificent breed. Thank you.
  • Plot twist she isn't just planning to ride every horse in the world but to befriend every equestrian ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜ great video by the way
  • @nackyeads2508
    I have always loved draft horses, and these are just ideal! All that power and gracefulness, with that big kind heart!
  • @suzip5474
    Wow what a powerful horse, heโ€™s a mountain on legs. He is so handsome and gentle for such a strong creature ๐Ÿดโค๏ธ

    This breed is like all the draft horses into one gorgeous package. Thank you for bringing this to us!!!
  • What i nice idea to put the foal together with his mom in front of the cart. It's the first time i see that, and it make sence, because they learn already so much.๐Ÿ˜Š
  • As a Swede myself I'm happy to see that you have found your way here to meet and ride horses on your continued quest to ride every breed. I hope you also meet and ride the 2 other swedish breeds: the North Swedish Horse (this is also a draught breed and comes in 2 types: the original heavier one for agricultur/ forestry work and one lighter used for trotting/ harness racing as well as for dressage and other sports) and not to forget the Gotland Russ/ Gotland Pony.
  • HIS TROT IS SO LIGHT AND SMOOTH FOR A HEAVY HORSE. LIKE AN X LARGE PONY, ADORABLE. WONDERFUL

    What a gorgeous breed. That stallion is just amazing..and his father was such a handsome boy!
  • @birgit4314
    What a beautiful big horse ๐Ÿ˜! A real Gentle Giant โค๐ŸŽโค!
  • my favourite horse. I helped with a driving pair at a farm i worked at for a few years and they are the sweetest horses i've ever known.

    I have only just found this channel. This is the first video I have watched. Wow! Alyssa, you have a beautiful, calming voice and a lovely seat. What an adventure you are on! Thank you for sharing it with us. Please thank Sofie and her family for hosting your visit and quickly training Malwin to saddle. What a lovely gesture, and didn't he do a great job!? I am very pleased to have been introduced to the Swedish Ardennes breed.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ’œ

    My fathers father, born over 130 years ago had these horses. They were his working partners in the forest collecting timber and also on the fields.
  • @AwkwardBirb
    What a big beautiful boy! He seems so happy and eager ๐Ÿ˜Š I think Iโ€™m in love!
  • Oh wow he is gorgeous. And so adorable as a foal! The exchange about how recently he's been ridden was hilarious, this was so awesome
  • @frenzyviz6296
    I love draft horses. I once rode one & absolutely loved him! This stallion is beautiful.
  • Lovely to see you in Sweden! My friend had an Ardenner, Mona, she had the biggest personality. Such a fun horse. ๐Ÿ™‚
