Dear All, (I posted this on Friday, April 5, 2024)
I (Yvonne) have bad news.
On Thursday, April 4, 2024, at 2:00 PM, Queen👑Uniek became ill, she was visibly in pain. The vet came urgently and gave her painkillers. Unfortunately, this did not get better after an hour. Mathilde and I took Queen Uniek to the horse clinic in Wolvega where she was examined further.
It didn't seem like she had much trouble there. She pretended nothing was wrong. That is typical for a Friesian horse. But an ultrasound was made of her belly. It showed that her stomach was much too big.
She was admitted and would have to stay there at least one night.
But in the evening her condition became worse and worse. The vet called me and indicated that she was really in a lot of pain. The stomach wall was probably torn. A stomach rupture / Gastric rupture. Something that unfortunately occurs more often in Friesian Horses and that is because there is higher inbreeding.
I was advised to put her to sleep to prevent her from suffering further. I couldn't agree more. I don't want a horse to be in so much pain. So they put her to sleep around 10 p.m.
This morning I went to Queen Uniek together with Gea and Rinske to say goodbye to her. I had her picked up by a company that cremates horses. In the Netherlands it is forbidden to bury a horse.
Queen Uniek will be cremated tomorrow. I can pick up her ashes later.
As I type this, we are less than 24 hours later, but I would like to share it with you first.
I will make a video later. I still need some time for this.
Furthermore, other videos are still planned. And I also want to show the Queen as much as possible. Like I always do...
But I, Bauke, Rein & Teije will miss her so much!!! And certainly also Boss Rein, the Stal H and Stal G people and the KZhead herd!!
Because Queen Uniek meant a lot to everyone!! She was special and she still is!
Thank you for everything Queen Uniek! I'm so happy that Belle is here... And I'm glad Queen Uniek was able to see her own foal with Coralle!
We will never forget you Queen👑Uniek!!!
Love Yvonne❤️
Welcome to my Friesian Horses channel.
My name is Yvonne. I create and post videos about my daily life with Friesian Horses. I will show you the true Friesian Horse and what they are like: day to day care, training, riding dressage and the very special birthing of foals. I explain the facts about breeding Friesian Horses and the steps I take to help better the breed.
You will learn that Friesian Horses have a naturally high gait, whether or not they can jump, if they are good for beginners and what they eat.
You will see them running, trotting, playing and even fighting.
I show you every aspect of my life with horses; the beautiful and the not so pretty. What you see in my videos is real!
Did you know that the Friesian Horse originates from Holland, specifically Friesland? That is where I live! I hope Friesian Horses will be love at first sight for you.

It pained me to see Risey nickering/soft whinny to Uniek at the beginning and furthermore, she was looking intently at him. These two brought me to this channel, I stayed because of how well the horses were treated by Yvonne, Rein and Crew. Uniek was such a good mother, good leader, good friend, good sister and good horse in general. Her stoicism mirrors Yvonne, they are without a doubt soulmates to me. R.I.P Queen.
Agreed..😭
What touching sentiments you wrote!
Amen 😢🙏🏽❤️👑
Same here. She and Riley have a special place in my heart.💔
Same here, I loved the vlogs of Uniek and Rising Star when he was a small foal. It’s so sad.
The first time I saw Uniek was when she adopted Rising Star. She was a magnificent horse, truly unique. Rest easy, girl.
That's when I found this channel. So glad I did.
Me too!
Me too, I remember when she adopted rising star… so sad , fly high Queen Uniek 🫶
I'm glad Risey got to say goodbye to her, that all the horses got to say goodbye. So sudden and shocking but she was surrounded by love the whole time.
Me too. So much love.
Thanks for sharing your emotions during this difficult time. We will all miss Queen Uniek. Thank you for sharing her with us over the years.
Thank you so much for your heartwarming donation 💗
I am so very sorry to hear of Queen Uniek’s passing. I am in shock. I starting watching when her own baby died, and she accepted Rising Star as her own. She was a beautiful horse, and her legacy will live on. ❤😊
I started watching the too. So sorry for your loss.❤
Same. Started watching around that time. Devastated.
Me too. I am so so sorry for you! Send you a lot of love and hope you carry on! ❤
Me too
Yvonne, I’m a former USAF officer. I don’t cry easily. But, I cannot stop crying seeing this video. I fell in love with horses by watching Queen Uniek accept Risey as her baby. She was a special horse, and not only your friend, but family. I will continue to pray for you until the pain eases up. I believe she is watching over you, and will greet you when you go to Heaven ❤❤❤
She will be waiting❤
And Belle is every bit her Mother's daughter! May she bring Joy and Comfort to you, with Long & Happy, Healthy Life! 💖
Got to me, too!
I am crying with you!😢 I am so sorry this happened.
We all loved Unirk. Belle is Uniek born again. Uniek would not want you to cry any longer, but rejoice in bringing up her daughter.
The horses were silent that day, it's good to see RS was giving your some comfort. Even till the end, her beauty remained ageless. Farewell Queen Uniek. I'm sure she is galloping freely and happily in the field of reeds with her looking like a silouette under the sun.
Alongside her Star and little girl 🥹😭
Watching over Belle and Yvonne. Knowing that she left Yvonne, the most precious gift she could give to her. A Filly foal, A beautiful gift for Stal H. Thank you Uniek, for so many many precious memories. 👑 We will never forget you. 💞
I noticed that right away
@@JenniMeerwith Star and Twinkle Star galloping all over heaven.
They seem aware of something not good happened.
It was the last compassionate act of kindness that you could do for her, to allow her to pass with dignity and less suffering . She was a faithful and very successful part of your family...we will all miss her.
Beautifully said
❤❤❤
You gave Uniek a beautiful life
I started watching when Risey was adopted by Queen 👑Uniek. I fell in love with her because of her willingness to take a baby to her udder and her heart as if it were her own. I am in tears now because she is gone. But never forgotten. She is in heaven. Corralle is Belle's surrogate mother, in my heart never the true mother. But I thank her for having Uniek's baby. I want to hug you, Yvonne. I want to cry with you. I wish I could send money, but, I am an old woman, alone. I send you love and prayers that things will turn around and be good in the future. Starting with Princess Belle. ♥🙏
😢💔🙏
Thank you Pam....kindness is more than enough...
Me too.
I'm an older woman also so I will send for both of us 💔
@@kathleengowarty2742you’re wonderful. So many kind hearted people here💝
Uniek was a wonderful horse. Don’t look on it as bad luck , think about how lucky you were to have her in your life, how lucky she played a part in fur filling your dreams of a horse stable. Lucky that she played a part in helping you recover from your accident. Lucky that she brought Risey into your life. Lucky that she found you and you gave her a wonderful life and made friends all over the world. RIP Uniek we all loved you. Gone too soon but never forgotten 😢
I think what you are saying is true. But it is hard to look at it that way when you are still grieving another loss. But Yvonne is strong and one day she will be able to smile when she thinks of Uniek instead of tearing up. Those are the stages we go through when we lose someone dear to us. I smile more now when I think of my parents, for instance, but sometimes I still cry. That is the way it is. Belle is such a blessing, as is Risey even with his issues. Circle of life.
Well said!!
It’s important that Yvonne expresses her true thoughts and feelings in response to her grief. And it’s important for us to listen to her as she moves from grief to remembrance and healing. No one should tell her how to feel, or how to look at things in the direct aftermath. She needed to speak her truth. Yvonne is such a resilient person. She’s shown that for years, especially after her accident.
Uniek served the purpose she was sent here for and now she’s gone home. Yvonne it has nothing to do with luck you were blessed to have her in your life and you have that. Smile and be grateful for the time you had and grateful for the life you have, you are blessed and a very beautiful soul ❤
Beautiful sentiments. ❤
I am so so sorry for your loss. She was a Queen indeed. Now she's happily running up there with her baby.
I'm so sorry she's gone... she was a wonderful mare and she will always be remembered fondly. 🫂
It's beautiful that Uniek mothered Rising Star when he was orphaned and she lost her own foal. Now, Coralle is mothering Uniek's foal. Her legacy will live on.
Life is strange that way sometimes. We just have to go on and give thanks . 🙏
Yes it is very sad.. may the Queen always be remembered
Does Coralle have milk for Belle?
Is coralle an Arabian? Looks just like my Egyptian Arabians the head is identical
I am so sorry for your loss, Yvonne. Queen Uniek fully lived up to her name: unique, in every way - so strong, so gentle, a natural leader. 🙏 that your hearts will be comforted at this time. Uniek made a big difference in the world, and not just for Risey. And I am so glad that Rinske, Gea, and Mathilde were there for you: good friends mean so much at times like these. Thank you for posting this video and enabling all of us to say Good-bye to our Queen.😢😇
Yes she was and will always be truly our 👑😢❤️
Yes she was truly our 👑❤️😢
Heel veel sterkte met jullie verlies, hartverscheurend ❤❤❤❤❤
who else cried? my heart melted away this was so hard for me to watch..
Yup. I’ve followed these horses for a long time and I know only too well how hard it is to lose animals you love 😢
Over 534k cried! 😭😭🤗🤗🧡🧡
Right when the subtitles said that she was put to sleep. 😭
I have been watching your videos and Queen Uniek for about a year or two. I am so sorry for your loss.
When we take on the responsibility of caring for animals, we must also accept the difficult responsibility of making sure they do not suffer. Peace to you Yvonne.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yes! She did right by Uniek
Amen
The pain of losing Uniek is in proportion to the great joy she brought you, your family, friends and your online herd. It is a comfort that we can enjoy the many videos of Uniek--where her personality and beauty continue to shine--and it's a huge gift to have her descendants including the amazing Risey and Belle.
Well said, @paulascott. And lots of love and hugs to Yvonne.
My most heartfelt condolences on the loss of your Queen Uniek. I know the pain and loss of one who has meant so much to you in your life.
There is a saying that horses are angels on Earth for us. Queen Uniek ,with no doubt, is back in Heaven . I loved watching her so much and will for ever be greatful because she touched my heart ❤
Oh, Yvonne, imagine how horrible it would have been if Uniek had given birth to Belle and then this happened!!! It’s almost as if the universe knew this was coming and lead you to have Belle conceived when you did. Uniek was there for Risey and Corella is there for Belle. So very sad, but also beautiful in a way 😢 ❤
My thoughts as well when I learned about Uniek's passing.
Agree. Belle is Unieks last gift to you
That occurred to me too. I am so grateful Coralle is there to raise Belle! What a blessing amidst the grief ❤
I agree. I said in my message that Yvonne you are not unlucky but very lucky to have after all of Uniek’s miscarriages, she tried again using sweet Coralle & now she has The Great Queen’s beautiful daughter. It makes her name even more special too. So very sad about Uniek but such a blessing to have her children. Many hugs to you Yvonne & God Bless you, your family + all your beautiful fur kids.❤🙏❤🙏❤🙏❤🙏
I am so sorry and pray God gives you comfort in the coming months.
It’s good to cry, what good is loving Uniek if we don’t smile at the joy and cry when she’s hurting and now gone. I cried for a few hours and was never even in her presence! She was special and your love for her is deep and we feel the loss with you. I have started calling her filly Princess Belle. Because her mother was indeed a regal Queen. She will have such a special place in the herd and in your life. We will all watch her grow just like we did Risey. Sending everyone at stal H a very big hug from California.
very well said..hey sending you hugs :)
Everyone is with you in spirit Yvonne. Our hearts ache for the sudden loss you, your wonderful family, the teams at Stals H and G and The Herd itself, are experiencing . It's my morning ritual to watch the special videos you share with us everyday. We will miss Uniek very much, but also are very grateful that you have uploaded so many videos of your experiences with her. I know that I will enjoy watching them again and again. Sending love and sincerest condolences from Adelaide, South Australia. 💔🇦🇺🙃
Beautifully said! And my sentiments exactly! I cried! I’m crying watching this! ❤
Princess Belle is a grand idea. I just love it.
I cried too..I had to waite a suitable moment to be able to see this. I cried also when I first looked this shocking news that Q.U. is gone..so let us all cry, because without deep sorrow we are not able to have pure joy. Yvonne we do understand how loosing a beloved animal feels. There is nothing to be sorry for that you have deep feelings and you are crying...because we are too. 😢❤ I want to send 🤗 for everyone from Finland!
It’s not bad luck. Look at it this way, Uniek left you a legacy. You have Belle to dote on and already Coralle was there to mother her so she doesn’t suffer that pain too much. Gods mercy there. I’m praying everyday for Rising Star. If she fails then he will join Uniek in heaven to rub the grassy fields forever. God Bless you and your family.
RIP Uniek, I am so sorry for your loss Yvonne. Uniek is no longer in pain. She birthed a beautiful baby.
First I’m seeing this. Very sad.😢 Could carrying, &/or giving birth have caused her stomach & intestinal issues? Since she passed so soon after...? IDK much about horses compared to others, I’m sure. Just seems like there could be a connection.
@@sonneversets3530She didn't carry or foal Belle, Coralle did. But Belle is still biologically her's - Embryo transfer is miraculous!
I cried over a horse and for her owner that I have never met. A testament to how truly "Uniek" she was.😪
When our dogs reach the end of their lives we say they have gone over the rainbow bridge. Gone but never forgotten. There are thousands of people like me who will never forget Uniek. I joined your site when Uniek became Risey’s mother. You don’t have bad luck because you have been given the care of two glorious horses and we have known them because of you. And now you have her foal and we will watch her grow and share your joy in her.
I was in tears hearing of her passing. Uniek was one of my favorites and how I found your channel! 😭 She had an amazing life, raised an orphaned foal, and had a foal to carry on her legacy and genes. RIP Queen Uniek. Sending love and prayers from Texas in the 🇺🇲 to you and everyone else. ❤️
I’m so sorry to hear about her. 😢she is now in heaven running and playing and not in pain now! Will be praying for you 🙏🏼
Dearest Yvonne, Queen Unique had a wonderful life with you. You shared her with all of us around the world. We all are so sad for you and your entire family at Stal H & Stal G. Beautiful Unique has left her legacy in her offspring. You don't have bad luck Yvonne. It was just Unique's time to go. Queen Unique has a beautiful silver lining she left for you her name Belle. Thank you for all the videos of Unique over the years, especially with Queen Unique and Rising Star. Much love and light to you and your's 🙏💖
❤️ thank you..
Beautifully said…Thank you Queen Uniek for all the love and happiness you’ve spread around the world❤️🙏🏼❤️
@13:22 A new generation lives.
The image of Uniek's empty stall was haunting. Risey stood turned looking away, Coralle never left Belle's side and Reintje and Saly appeared so subdued. In their own way they know it is different now. Even when in pain, Uniek was such a majestic beauty! She made an impact on so many of us around the world. She will not be forgotten by this virtual herd, or by those who saw her accept Risey as her own. Yvonne, yes please post all of the videos you have. We will continue to watch - enjoying the antics at the Stals, to cheer for Risey and to watch Belle grow. Uniek brought us here, after all. Rest easy now, Queen Uniek. Rest easy.
Risey is looking outside, maybe waiting for Uniek to come home.
Exactly as you said, even in pain (and I guess she was really in pain !) she was still gorgeous and strong 💗 she will never be forgotten 💗
As another person wrote, it was Queen and Rising Star who caught my heart and interest on your so beautiful Videos. Now I share your sadness at the loss on your treasured Queen . Don’t think of it as bad luck ! You have been so blessed in all you do! We all have those ups and downs. Birth and death is all part of the picture of life.
Yvonne, I am so sorry about Uniek. She is a beautiful queen inside and out, with Rising Star I could see it in her. I cried along with you in this video.
I'm so sorry for your loss, Yvonne! She was the most beautiful horse! Thank God you had the vision to do what you did with Corralle. If you hadn't, you wouldn't have your sweet Belle. Now you have a piece of Uniek, with Risey and Belle. You don't have bad luck it's just life., because you take excellent care of all your sweet babies,all of them!!!! God Bless and be brave; ) Hugs!
Nicely said, it’s just life. You are sooo strong, Yvonne, your love and care for all your family, animal and human always comes through. I think you need to spend some horse time with the ever smiling and happy Oda. A very sad day indeed 😢❤
Exactly. Risey and Belle are carrying her spirit.
Uniek had the best life a horse could ask for. She had the best herd and human family. She finally got to be a mother to Risey and she got to see her lovely daughter Belle before passing. She will be there to guide you, Yvonne and Risey in spirit.
Special animals treat us how to love unconditionally. Uniek was one of those special animals. She is waiting in heaven for you Yvonne.
I just learned of your beautiful Uniek - I was awestruck by her spirit and beauty when she adopted Rising Star.
This is so sad, Rest in peace Queen Uniek. You were loved by so many people all across the world, thank you for being a wonderful mother to rising star, we will never forget you and you will always be loved, you fought in your last moments and you were just overall an amazing horse, thank you for giving joy to me, and I hope that risey will do well without his mother, I can’t imagine how he feels. And she had an amazing owner, amazing barn to stay at, an amazing life, you are galloping in the feilds of heaven with the other horses, goodbye Uniek, you will forever be missed by so many people.
I’m so glad you took the time to do so much with Uniek: dressage with her, buying her with the help of your online herd, her adoption of Risey, the surrogacy with Coralle, the beautiful photoshoots with her - she was so special. And thanks to all the time you took we have so many beautiful videos to remember how special she was. She leaves a rich legacy behind and will be missed so much! ❤❤❤
🌹
❤
❤❤❤❤
I came to this site when she was a surrogate to risey. Are hearts are broken. What a special animal.
Sorry for your loss. I know how much pain losing a horse your close to can cause. It’s like loosing a piece of your heart.🥺😢😭
My heart is broken too. Be strong Yvonne and try to bring all your love for Uniek and pour it into Belle. It is such a blessing you have her and Risey. I pray for protection for them and you and your family. Much love to all of you. ❤
Belle and Risey are in good hands with their human mom. Yvonne is so blessed to have them even moreso now. Goodbye Queen RIH.👑❤️😢
Thank you for those words.
Belle came just in time. The spirit of Uniek is running through her. God bless you Yvonne, sorrow is but a season. Uniek was there when Risey lost his birth mom, now Belle will be there to bring you joy after a loss too.❤
This is the mum that fostered rising star she had a new baby and she loses her life hiw very sad such a beautiful natured horse 😢😢😢💔💔💔💔sorry for your great loss 💖💖💖
Rest in peace Uniek. Many prayers to you and your family,.
Dear Yvonne, I am so sorry for your loss. Don't feel bad or weak for crying about Uniek. She was your heart horse, a true Queen and ambassador for the Friesian Horse breed. She brought joy and awe to you and thousands of people over the years! You did everything you could to make every minute of her life as great as possible for her. All of these words are not able to help in grieve, nevertheless she will live on in our memories, in the videos you made, in her foals, in Belle and Risey.
Uniek fan Goengamieden, 2006-2024 Darling Uniek, I live on another continent and don’t understand how I have so much love for a horse I have never met and, sadly, will never meet. I first saw you when you were struggling to give birth to Star. You were desperately trying to lick life into him, but it was not to be. It was a dark time, but in the morning the sun came out with the arrival of a skinny little foal whose mother had died. I’ll never forget your joyous whinny and the happy dance you did when you first saw Rising Star. It was truly love at first sight for you and for me, too. That was the day I fell in love with you and Friesian horses. I watched as you tenderly raised Rising Star and saw him grow up to be the magnificent horse he is today. Over the years you charmed me with your sassiness, your imperiousness, your love of food (especially pellets, apples and carrots), and your stunning beauty. The tender greeting you gave Greg Hammer when he visited, and your enduring love for Yvonne were impressive. You took me riding through the woods and along the beach. We splashed in pools, trotted alongside canals, and relaxed in the meadow. It was a magnificent reign which came to an unexpected and tragic end. Tears are still flowing, but time and Belle will ease the loss we all feel. Rest in peace beloved Queen. You have gone, but your memory will live in our hearts forever.👑❤️🇨🇦❤️
Beautiful Words, thank you from Germany
I could not say it better..I too found you the same way when you accepted tiny Rising Star, from the USA.
So beautifully said. Crying here in the middle of my night in Australia. 😢💔🇦🇺
You summed up all that I was thinking. Beautifully said❤. Shedding tears for all of us who loved the Queen❤ gone but never forgotten❤.
Crying again at this beautiful words! ❤
Its so sad to hear about Queen Unieks passing. It was the last act of kindness to a wonderful and very special horse. Unike lives on in Belle. So her legasy will always be there.
I am so very sorry for your loss! I've been watching your channel since 2019. I love your horses and you and your family. I cannot tell you how sad I am to hear of Uniek. She is now free to run and roam for all eternity. Love and prayers to you!!
Isn't it amazing that Uniek fostered Risey and now her baby Belle is fostered by Coralle. So much love.
Such a full circle moment. Also the fact the she was placed in the stall in between her children, Rising Star and Belle Alexia.
I am so sorry for you. I can't even imagine the pain you are going through. She will be waiting for you when it's your turn to cross the rainbow bridge
So so sorry!! Unique brought me to the channel too. I didn't even know Belle had arrived!! I'm glad she was able to give us Belle and be able to see her born before she had to go. I hope you are able to keep her. She's such a sweet little filly. Gonna grow up to be just as magnificent as her mama!
Belle is trying cheering you up
Not sure how to express my devastation at Uniek's passing. I share so many of these with my granddaughter. We haven't watched this one together. I'm not sure how to approach it. I want to thank you, Yvonne, for sharing your stories with us. It has made my life richer. I look forward to what comes next ❤ 💔 ❤
I AM SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS, YVONNE. MY HEART BREAKS FOR YOU. BELLE AND RISING STAR WILL GIVE YOU GREAT COMFORT. QUEEN UNIQUE WAS SPECIAL TO MANY PEOPLE AND WILL BE REMEMBERED WITH LOVE.
❤
I'm so sorry as Uniek was such a Beautiful lady and mother and colic in horses is so very painful 😢😢 I praise you for not letting this Beautiful Lady suffer. May God Bring you comfort.🙏😇🙌❤️❤️
So sorry for your loss. I don’t know how it feels to own a horse but you take very good care of of all of them. Uniek was the reason I followed. She will be missed
You don’t have bad luck, you are blessed. You have a loyal husband & healthy children. You have viewers who helped you buy Uniek for yourself & cover all her needs. When Uniek lost her foal, there was a miracle foal that she loved as her own. You had an accident & fell into a coma but you woke up! You recovered more than anyone expected. You run your own stables & people care deeply about your life. Though Rising Star has a concerning diagnosis, he is beautiful & strong now. Uniek’s foal transfer worked perfectly & you received a beautiful princess before the Queen left. There are so many blessings for you! I am so sorry for your loss. 💔 I hope you can take some comfort from the 2 beautiful babies she left in your care. One boy, the child of her heart & one girl, the child of her blood. I know Uniek was loved & cared for from the day you met to the day she left. I hope this is the last heartbreak for you for years to come 🫂
Truer words, never spoken..thank you.
I love the points you're making; Yvonne has a lot of positives to support her through the grieving process and it's good to recognise that. However, she undoubtedly has experienced some hellishly bad luck and denying that could leave her feeling unseen in her pain and less able to be open about when she's struggling. I'd like to be really clear that I'm not scolding you; you made some beautiful and heartwarming points; I just wanted to point out an element that may be less helpful, however innocently put 💚
Very well said.
💯 count your blessings, our lives are not only roses!
Sending love to you Queen Uniek over the 🌈 bridge and especially to you Yvonne. Thank you for being God's choice for Uniek's human mother. You filled Uniek's days with ultimate love. You know what? I see Uniek in Belle. Belle has Uniek's big beautiful eyes. I always could identify Uniek by her beautiful eyes! I think Belle is our next Queen when she becomes an adult. Risey will also always be Uniek's little Prince for however long he lives on earth. He really has a great determination, which he must have learned from Uniek. He really was her little boy even if not biological and after he was weaned, he seems to continue that Uniek royal essence. I will enjoy seeing Risey and Belle continue their beautiful lives! ❤❤❤
I saw the same thing in little Princess Belle’s eyes, she definitely has Queen Uniek’s eyes ❤
I'm sorry for your loss. I too joined your channel because of Queen Uniek's kindness towards Rising Star. It's sad she passed and her daughter is an orphan now. I'm glad Corralle has taken her under her care like Queen Uniek did for Rising Star. R.I.P. Queen Uniek.
Rest in Peace Queen Uniek xx so grateful to have known you thanks to Yvonne, I believe you bring us all together as a family to be here to pray together for Yvonne after her fall and for Risey, to show us miracles do happen when we are united in love xx love and light to all xx
I'm so sorry, Yvonne. I will never forget Uniek's reaction when she first laid eyes on Risey, how she called for him, claimed him. No one can watch that and say that animals don't have souls. RIP, beautiful Queen. ❤
Rising Star knew. Diewke knew. Beautiful Queen knew. Before she left Stal H, they all knew it was goodbye. It's written in their faces. Ah our most beloved animal companions, how much more wise than we, they are. Yvonne, I have nothing to say other than that, you did everything you could, and I send you all the love I am capable of. May God richly bless you in Belle Alexia, this most beautiful reminder of the Queen. I am so sorry. But I am so glad to have known Uniek.
Belle looks like her mama, Queen Uniek. I know she will be looking down from heaven and watch Belle and Risey, they will make her proud❤
So sorry for your deep loss 💔. I'm glad you had that special moment with her as the sun burst through.
My eyes are filled with tears. I am so sorry for your loss Yvonne. Now "BELLE" is like "RISING STAR". They both lost their real moms. "BELLE" looks so much like "QUEEN UNIEK". SHE WILL FOLLOW IN HER MOTHER'S FOOTSTEPS. CORALLE will now take the place as mother to BELLE, just as QUEEN UNIEK did for RISING STAR. Your love and devotion is amazing. I know the pain is there. You cannot have GREAT LOVE without GREAT PAIN. GOD BLESS you and your whole family and staff. 👍💙🇺🇲🐴👑🥀🥀🥀⚘️⚘️⚘️⚘️⚘️
Amen. You took the words right out of my mouth 😢😟🇺🇸
Well said. I’m crying my eyes out but how beautifully you have put it. ❤❤❤ ❤❤❤ I cannot despair, because life goes on.
Losing Uniek - 😢. But, Yvonne, your “bad luck” has also resulted in good things. You lost Star, but gained Risey. You fell and yet you survived to live and love your close family as well as your world-wide family. You were wise to create Uniek’s Belle via Coralle to carry on Uniek’s uniqueness. The glimpse of Belle that we’ve seen shows she has her mem’s conformation. She looks special already! All this and more, due to your wisdom and strength. An American saying: “If life gives you lemons, make lemonade.” Keep making lemonade, Yvonne!! ❤
I'm so sorry. She was beautiful.❤
I was introduced to this channel with the video when Uniek adopted Rising Star as her own. It's really sad to see her go. I'm genuinely getting teary eyed.. I'm sorry for your loss... 💔
I am so sorry. I'm crying too. 😢 Uniek was a special mare. Her presence, calm, love, charisma was unique. How lovingly she accepted Risey. I am grateful that I was able to get to know her. Thank you Yvonne and the team. She lives on in our hearts.❤
She & Risey are why I’m here & found this channel. She will forever be my favorite Fresian!! Run wild my Love… enjoy Heaven!
I'm still so saddened and it's difficult to believe Queen 👑 Uniek is gone. I'm so sorry for Yvonne, family, and everyone at the stables. I think about how her life happened...she supported Yvonne while she recovered, she came to live with Yvonne, she allowed Coralle to be the boss and eventually became her friend, and Uniek lived long enough to meet Her Little Queen Belle. What a beautiful life. I too started watching when the Queen did a happy dance when she adopted Risey. There will not be another like her. She really loved Yvonne - such a wonderful bond. She is greatly missed. 😢❤🌹
Omg how sad....but you gave her alot of good years and she raised beautiful babies especially rising star
I stared watching when she lost her baby and excepted Risey. I have watched since. It is a sad day but know she was loved by many and will be remembered. She is out of pain now. RIP Queen Uniek run free.
Same here ! That’s when I started watching also !!
Me too.
Ohhh no !! I’m so very sorry for your loss, such a shock for you 😢you are in my thoughts xxx
That's beautiful, I recall of an episode I watched, and recently rewatched, where it was an urgent case, the pregnancy went fine, the placenta looked fine. But the next morning they found she had passed. And her foal needed a foster momma for feeding. They had found a horse who had just lost her foal. They put the mare's urine and fecies on the foal to make her smell familiar. To have less of a chance to reject the foal. And thankfully she accepted it eating off her. And a few weeks later they were inseparable. It's like fate for sure. Like Queen would have been for that foal. So beautiful. I'm sure she was an incredible horse ❣️
That video was AWESOME, wasn't it? Its a rare gem! 💎 I have NEVER seen a foster mare SO excited to see a foal! I worked with Miniature horses, Egyptian Arabians, and Thoroughbreds. I was asked to look for any visible illness or injuries, any odd behavior, or illness, and document the breeding cycles of the mares, among other things. I went to college for veterinarian technology (vet tech,) NOT a vet. I've always loved horses, and I have a lot of equine knowledge. I've been at quite a few foalings. I've watched a lot of YT videos too! 😂 You might want to change the spelling to "accepted" instead of "excepted." The voice to text does that to me a lot. I have to remember to Uber enunciate. You see what I mean? Over turned into Uber! LOL! 😂 You might get many more likes; as you should for that lovely comment! I feel the same way. 😭
I broke when you said Uniek is gone. She lives on in Rosey, Belle and the beautiful people who loved her. Sending my love from Australia ❤
Thanks, Aussie....from.another, in Los Angeles... Lisa
I have seen Uniek. I have seen her give birth to star and adopt Rising Star. I have seen everything you have posted of her and all the other amazing horses. I'm not a horse person……... But fuck how I have cried and laughed and felt them all in my heart. ❤️ Love from Denmark
My condolences, dear Yvonne. Dear Uniek, you are now reunited in horse heaven with your lost foals Star and Twinkle Star. You now watch over Stal H, Stal G and the Friesian horse herd from horse heaven. Uniek you will be remembered as a beautiful Friesian horse, as a loving mother, as the loving foster mother of Rising Star and as the leader / queen of the Friesian horse herd. You will live on in our memories, in our hearts and in Yvonne's videos. Rest in Peace Queen 👑Uniek
✨👑✨💖🙏
❤❤❤

👑Treasure your good fortune in so much time with her, though it's never enough... This is with deep thanks for the love & joy you and Queen Uniek have brought, to so many in the Herd, and beyond into the future! Coralle and Belle will carry on her legacy, with Risey watching all at Stal H. Special condolences to your family and dear friends, including Rein and Stal H. Her watch here is over, but the sky opening tells you she is still top mare overseeing all! 💞 We love you dearest Uniek, always! ❤️🐴🙏🐎🕊️🌈 And very grateful for your candor here, it helps with our collective grief, and celebration of her beautiful life.🌹
Thank you so much❤️👑
Thank you for your generous donation.
Thank you so much for this heartwarming donation 👑❤ our beautiful Queen will live on forever...
Thank you for that gift ❤
Thank you 🙏 ❤
Horrible to see my most favorite horse from your stable to vanish, shall she rest in peace ☹️🙏
I finally have strength enough to say how deeply sorry I am for your loss of the beautiful, majestic, Queen Uniek. I like many fell in love with her and your channel when she took in and adopted baby Rising Star. Uniek was such a sweet and special horse. I’m happy that you now have Belle. While she’s not her mother and can’t ever replace her, I know many people who have had a heart Horse and wanted to get at least one offspring from them. I pray for little Belle’s protection and health. At least mommy Uniek got to see her. And now she’s watching over her and Risey. I couldn’t type anything before because I kept crying, well I’m crying now too but not as bad! 😅😭 I came for Uniek and Rising Star but stayed because I enjoy your personality and your dedication to these horses Yvonne. I grew up loving horses but have never had the opportunity to work with them or be around them often but I was so obsessed buying all the books to learn about them and watching all of the videos I can. I will continue to pray for you and hope you find comfort in your family, friends, your pets and your horses, especially Uniek’s precious Rising Star and beautiful little Belle.❤🙏🏻😢
I think Uniek will be watching over you, Risey, and Belle now. She left a hole in all our hearts, but time heals all wounds. Belle will never replace her mother. No horse ever could. But Belle will carry Uniek's legacy of beauty and grace forward now. RIP Queen Uniek.
Dont u say u have bad luck there's always someone somewhere that has worse luck...I know u loved that horse and u took good care of her..u got her baby I think she's going to be special so is yvonne the filly I really hope u get your namesake...
I am a follower, but rarely a poster. Today I want to express my condolences to everyone who followed this amazing story. Yvonne, I am so sorry for your loss. Belle is not Uniek, but it is a comfort for her and Risey to be here for you. I admire your ability to get up, and stand strong after adverse events. RIP Queen Uniek, long live the Princess Belle💔😢
You did the right thing you did what was best for uniek as hard as it is we’re all here for you she’s in a better place running in heaven ❤
Grief is the price we pay for love, and you loved Uniek so very much Yvonne. She was a beautiful horse in temperament as well as physically. She will be greatly missed and I’m thankful you have Risey and Bella to remember her by. 😢
What a beautiful tribute to Queen Uniek. She lived a beautiful life with people who loved her very much, and she was a good mother to her baby, Risey. I'm so happy she got to meet her new daughter, Belle, before she passed. I'm so sorry for your loss; no words can make it better. You took very good care of her and she was loved.
R.S is not ''her'' baby -poor Unieks baby Star died after birth 🙁
@@zamzar2Uniek was RS mother in the most important way...more important then giving birth to him! She chose him and raised him
@@christinematton4125 a mare will often hesitate to adopt an unknown foal but there's work to do . But Uniek was willing to take on the foal at once -
Dear Yvonne, thank you so much for letting us meet the beautiful, Queen Uniek! We shall always keep her in our memories! Now, Queen Uniek is up in heaven with her babies running together. I am sure she will watch over you as well, so don't be too sad, it's not a forever goodbye, it's more of a see you later! 🌅💖🕊️ I also want to add that Queen Uniek and Rising Star were like "my own horses" since I wasn't able to own one ever. So for this, I am even more thankful for you, Yvonne, sharing with us a piece of your heaven! Thank you, thank you a million times!🥹♥️ With lots of love, Alexia from Romania.
Thank you so much❤️👑
very kind of you
How special you have the same name as Belle Alexia.
🧡🧡
thank you for your generosity!
You cry all you want, l am crying with you. Uniek was an excellent foster mother to Rising Star sometime back if my memory is correct. The mementos you had on the table, like her hoofprint, are irreplaceable treasures. Like your memories. Belle IS gorgeous, but she will make her own place in your heart. One cannot replace another, each leaves a unique and lasting place in your heart. I am SO sorry for your heart💔breaking loss. There are no words for this sadness. Thank ♥️ You for the good life you gave her, and all your beautiful babies. Goodbye Uniek. You will be missed and remembered, for always. Rest In Peace, Queen Uniek. 🌹😔🌹.🕊 🐾🌈☮️🇨🇦
i found this channel when i found the Queen and was captivated by her beauty and her sweet heart--i followed for a while with the ups and downs, the challenges and then when i got too sad, i stopped following for a few months-i was so worried about Risey, i did not want to be following if he got worse - but - a few days ago, out of nowhere, Queen Uniek came into my mind and i did not have a good feeling - but i had to check on her only to find the saddest news - Yvonne, i am so sorry about losing her - i think it's heartbreaking and i have tears writing this while my husband is wondering what is wrong with me, tearing up in front of my laptop - i will always remember the joy of Uniek when she first saw Rising Star-she gave him life - i cant say anymore because i just dont have the words - loss is part of life but knowing that makes it no less devastating - Uniek was made special by God so i do believe she is with Him, i really do--take care Yvonne
Yvonne, I cried along with you. How many times I stood at where my Nikita slept. I kept her bed where it was till I was ready to move and put it up. In my hallway there is a memorial of her. I made a shadow box with some of her things in it. My girlfriend made a picture for me to keep beside her cremains and shadowbox. Grief has no timeline, Nikita has been gone since May 2005 and I still cry. Queen Uniek will be forever with you because of Belle and Risey. I was pleased to see you smile because I smiled when you said you had Uniek in the back of your vehicle. You will have smiles and tears as you remember her in your private moments. Funny about the rain, because the day my dad was to be buried it was raining terribly and as the time came to go to the cemetery the Heavens cleared and the sun came out and it was beautiful..ty for this memory of my daddy. Never forget you have a human herd thats here for you and there is nothing we will not hesitate to do for you..please ask, as there is never anything wrong with asking. Thank you for TikToc, Instagram, KZhead. We love you and the others at Stal H. I love forward to seeing Belle, aka little Uniek grow and become who she is meant to be. Continued prayers as always for you physically and emotionally..Prayers for our Prince, Rising Star and boss Rein and Glendy.
Very well said! I cried along, too. ❤
I’m so sad for your loss of the beautiful Queen Uniek from herein Australia I send my love and Prayers 😓

@@user-hw8xy9ce2z ...and Another.....Remembering UNIEK!
Dear Yvonne, there is no shame in mourning one of your best friends. We all I imagine will mourn the loss of Uniek for a while, then we can move on to remembering the joy she brought to all of us. I am so glad she was able to be there when her foal was born. I am sure if anyone can know that her foal will be loved as she would have it is Uniek. She took an orphan to herself and loved him as his own mother would have, and Risey is a sweet boy who benefitted from Unieks care when he was in need. To me Uniek will always be the "Queen" of the herd. You did right by Uniek and I am sure she is now happy and grazing in a beautiful sunny field. Much love to you and all at Stal H and Stal G.
My deepest sympathies. What a tremendous loss. She was a beauty. ✌🏼❤️🇨🇦
Yvonne, it breaks my heart to learn that Queen Uniek is no longer with us. It was a beautiful video, albeit very sad. It is comforting that Belle is here to carry on her legacy. Blessings and hugs to you big kisses for Belle and Riley. The stable was so quiet so you know that they all knew that something was wrong and that their Queen was gone. Extremely touching. Prayers
I dreaded watching this video. We all mourn the passing of Uniek. She was a beautiful soul. The story of Uniek and Rising Star was so beautiful, and now her Belle is here. I pray you find peace and solace in your memories. Love you all.❤❤❤❤❤
I was brought to your channel because of uniek and rising star You will always have uniek in your heart.
Always the Queen of the Stable Yard. The Video of Uniek losing Star then accepting Rising Star was the first of your videos I viewed. Many now miss The Queen. Condolences all around. May Belle do her mother proud.
My heart is breaking for you. Queen Uniek and Rising Star brought me to your channel, Yvonne, and I'll never forget how beautiful she was and how majestic. Loss is never easy; it is like a piece of your heart is torn off, but it is this piece that went with her over the Rainbow Bridge. Mahalo for sharing Queen Uniek with the World; she has brought joy, beauty, majesty, and resilience to all of us. Aloha Oe, Queen Uniek.
Goidbye, My Queen. You saved my life. I don't know what would have happened if I hadn't picked up my phone and randomly saw you make Risey your own. It was the darkest day of my life and you lifted me up. Each day I looked forward to seeing you. Thank you for that. Thank you, Yvonne for being the amazing woman you are. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You both saved me. I'm still here because of you and our Queen. Bella is so beautiful and I see hope and strength in her eyes.
I hope life continues to improve for you, Renee. Videos of horses saw me through the Pandemic, self-isolating & then a host of respiratory disorders. Queen Uniek's joy at seeing Risey has never ceased to inspire me, as has Yvonne's resilience. We press on, honouring those who touch our lives along the way. Love to all horse lovers everywhere and especially to those of us who aren't physically and/or emotionally well enough to go out there and ride❤.
@@annejarvis7002 thank you. It's been a hard few years.
❤ we are here for you as well. You are not alone. ❤
I can't find words to describe my feelings, shock and an overwhelming sense of loss have taken over. I'm sure I'm not the only one feeling like this. I am so very sorry things happened this way but I am also happy that Queen Uniek saw her beautiful filly, Belle. Tonight I will watch my favourite video where Uniek meets and falls in love with Risey at first sight - and sound. Then I'll raise a glass to the unforgettable Queen Uniek and think of her reunited with her precious little Star. Thank you Yvonne for sharing your videos; they and your incredible strength in the face of so much adversity helps all the herd followers to come to terms with the loss of our sweet Queen Uniek.
🌹🙏
Never ever apologize about real emotions. Uniek was a magnificent world -class horse. A large, living, breathing, being. You made the right decision because you loved Uniek and she trusted you to make that loving decision. Sending love from the United States. ❤️
So glad you have Bella! May she be a Comfort to you! Will miss the Queen!
Reading through the comments I’m amazed at how many ppl were introduced to the queen and her son Risey through the adoption video, I was also one of them. May she rest in paradise with her two previous foals. We will miss you when Yvonne has used all the videos she has of you. Gone but never forgotten you’re always just a heartbeat away
I was too. It was an amazing time. I'm so sad for her and Yvonne. ❤❤❤
As many people here, it started for me with video of Queen Uniek and Rising Star... I'm so sorry to hear she passed away. Thank you for sharing her story with us. 💔💔💔
Can't believe she's gone. I've loved seeing the story of her. She was such an amazing horse. May you rest in peace, Queen Uniek. ❤
I'm sorry for your loss. Uniek was a kind of unique horse. She did good during her life.
I lost my mare I had since she was a a baby, two years ago, she suddenly presented in severe pain, abdominal rupture, I was devastated, I still miss her so much. 😟😟. You have beautiful baby belle, not bad luck at all. Risey is a beautiful young horse, not bad luck at all. You have lovely beautiful horses and more to come. You have many supporters, followers, lovers of your horses. The very best is still ahead! Remember we all pray for you, cheer for you, love that you don't give up, you have come so far. 🐴🐴👑👑💞💞
Beautifully said. There is good luck and dreams realized.
What causes abdominal ruptures in horses?
@@deew7014 Gut problems are unfortunately very common in horses. Sometimes colic just happens.
So sorry you, also, lost your mare....you can understand Yvonne' s loss...
