Back At The Horse Auction! What Will We Find?!

Hey Horse Lovers! Join Kyle & I while we browse the Mt Pleasant Horse Sale up in Michigan! This is a specialty sale with over 400 horses! Many of them are gorgeous, high quality, well-trained draft crosses but there are also a variety of other horse breeds at this sale too. In this video I will show you all of the horses we see at the auction and talk about what we find and like. I will also give tips, tricks, and advice regarding what we look for in horses at sales and how I go about deciding which horses I am interested in bidding on. There are so many different variables and things to look for when it comes down to purchasing auction horses. It makes it more difficult when there are many beautiful, kind horses at this sale. BUT the BIG question is, DID WE BUY ANOTHER AUCTION HORSE? WATCH TO FIND OUT! IF YOU ENJOY MY CONTENT SUBSCRIBE!

[@dawnbutler9649]

@@tanyaoellermann I think a lot come from horse breeders hoping to make a buck.... Like puppy mills. I understand surrender horses, but people that just breed em to sell or won't take care of horses that get injured or sick.

[@djbrockman8389]

Shae, I love your interaction with the horses you meet and how you are totally honest about the condition of each horse. But mostly, I love how you always remember the commitment to the horses you already have and the outcome you want for them! You do not buy another horse just to have another horse! Thank you!

[@jipsigal]

Can’t wait to ‘go with you’all’ to the next auction! Between these trips, and your trail rides, I can enjoy horses again, albeit vicariously through the ‘lens’… I used to ‘fix’ horses, sometimes completely take them back to ground work. Had seven at one time, mine and my husband’s horses plus five we had a few years as we handled everyone of them every day, all levels of work. AND we both had full time day jobs! I remember LOVING IT, but cautioning friends who were toying with the idea of buying property so they could have their (boarded) horse at home: Horses are 90% work, sweat and dirt, stepped on toes and piss-and-vinegar-attitudes, for the 10% you actually get to ride them, arena, show or trail. And when the electric waterers shut down when a subzero winter freeze hits, it means lugging 10 gallon buckets of water from your inside tap - one per horse, 4 times a day or more, until the troughs thaw or the electric is fixed… oh my… Sorry, 63 now and reminiscing lovingly of all the work! A car accident over 20 years ago and resulting spinal injury. I haven’t ridden since before that. You are my favorite channel because you share so much of your own POV on trails, groundwork, grooming… 😊❤️

[@mousiebrown1747]

Kyle is the Gary Cooper star of your videos. He’s that quiet hero in the background that is always there to care & support! Definitely star material! Go on & give Kyle the free choice to pick ANY horse he might like for trail rides (unless obviously sick or injured).

[@ronsamborski6230]

My thought is that Kyle would defer to Shae’s expertise and experience with horses, rather than going it alone with his own opinion.

[@nkw3157]

I love appaloosa's too. My horse, I Spy, was the High Point Performance horse at the 1974 National Appaloosa Horse Show in Oklahoma City. He was a 16.2 hand, liver chestnut roan and was the sweetest horse.

[@qossl6727]

Gus stole my heart, such a lovely horse and those adorable ears....

[@AuntieSara459]

[@mimilapin]

Shae, thank you for taking us on these journeys to the auctions and sharing your thought process. You're so thoughtful about your choices! I, too, would love to rescue every horse but if we aren't responsible with our choices everything we care for could suffer. I respect the way you navigate horsemanship so much.

[@FITZIEBLUE]

so true, and not only 'responsible' but extremely knowledgeable.

[@luvzdogz]

That mini foal was hilarious and so adorable!!

[@indrahx5905]

The zoomies.. totally adorable

[@mikehenry6284]

A lot of beautiful horses, but nothing that grabbed you and I've been with you enough at auctions to know that you don't just buy anything. But I'm certainly not worried because when the right horse for you and your program comes along, that's the one you'll purchase. Love going with you to all these auctions, it's so much fun. The right one will definitely come along, it always does. I mean just look at Belle, she came in last minute and you instantly fell in love with her, and huge bonus because you also got Ezzy. Thanks again for taking us along. Maybe the next one will be "THE ONE" for you Shae. Love and God Bless 💜 ✝️ Jennifer in AZ.

I wish I lived closer lol, you'd have free help cleaning stalls, or pasture, whatever, grooming, , or ground work, I'm not a professional, but , would exchange for riding lol. Just plodding around , id probably be more into just grooming, now days..lol

[@justsayin1958]

I saw pictures today of Lady Louise driving a carriage with Fell Ponies. I instantly thought of Mushu! Love your commentary at the auctions - so educational.

[@jipsigal]

My eyes got stuck on that dark dark bay/black with the touches of FLAXEN tail and braided mane, being ridden in the first 10 minutes (6:19 - on the far left!) of your visit… oh, I wanted to grab your arm and say look, look! Isn’t he a beauty? 😊❤️

[@freespiritequestrian]

That horse was so big! Like GIANT.

[@jipsigal]

What draft do you think he might’ve been crossed with?

[@victoriah.2083]

Hey Shea (sp?) & Kyle! I have been learning so much because of your channel. My Uncle boarded horses along time ago and took such good care of them. He had a beautiful white Arabian named "GHOST". I loved helping water and clean stalls. I always wanted to groom them but was happy with doing daily barn maintenance. Anyway, I appreciate you going to sales and sharing what you're looking for. And what you find good in confirmation, also.❤

[@harlocksaphir3202]

Omg, i just found your channel and started watching video after video while i'm sick at home.

[@oranjebeer6637]

Aww

[@PaulaR-mp9di]

The very first palomino you looked at reminded me of the plastic model palomino that came with the western saddle - narrow front end and all! I think it was one of Breyer's first models. Loved the mini colt antics in the arena! I liked the last horse shown in the arena best - the big black with the great lope. He was very heavy though - very big feet! I really love your auction videos - looking forward to the next one.

[@PatFitzgerald-hn9cs]

[@lynnell5993]

Im only a few mins into the vid and I'm repeating a mantra to my phone, "Get the Gypsy purebred, Mini Lumi". I think Im Lumi obsessed! Just ignore me. You always choose the right one when you do buy. Its a gift you seem to have.

[@jenniferlehman326]

That foal made this video, Shae!! I could hear both you and Kyle giggling in the background!! And you will find the right horse when the time is right. Look at how many auctions you went to before you found Beauty? One is out there, at some point, you will find the right fit and you'll know when it's the right one. You always do!! Your friend, the Retired Paramedic and Horse Trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn 💖 🇨🇦

[@jeanhowarth1852]

The one you saw for Kyle I thought looked beautiful 😍

[@lindag4484]

First - Kyle is a gem! In reference to rescuing: There may come a time when you can take on a rescue and we'll all be here for it, even if it's way out there in the future. Even at the kill-buyer auctions, there are horses that, with nutrition, dental, farrier care, and some love, will turn out to be sound, gentle, and amazingly worth it. I'm laughing out loud at the 4-day-old pony running and bucking around the auction ring while I'm writing this. 😆lol 🐴❤

[@kimberlylee1329]

I had a Leo related quarter horse growing up! He was so sweet and kind!! I am 65 and disabled but I miss horses!!

[@kathyanderson5671]

It’s really fun to go with you & Kyle to the auctions. I am learning a lot from you guys. Seeing some beautiful horses.

[@renaeboonstra54]

I love the mini mama and babe ❤ Also Kyle is so sweet with the horses and a gentleman 🍃

[@janetwinslow5208]

Kyle would look like a sharp looking cowboy on that paint.

[@ninakaiser2930]

Wow there were quite some beautiful horses! These two Appaloosa Draft mixes looked so beautiful 😍 I can totally see your reasoning. And it’s definitely not a great idea to buy a horse at the auction that already isn’t sound. It’s always so nice when the auction has good quality horses!

[@lindaz1290]

I love your auction videos, period, full stop. Although it's sad to see some of these horses, I learn so much from your explanations of what you're seeing at the time. Looking forward to the next one!

[@maggieekane7845]

As usual, Shae, you imparted a lot of useful, considerate information and observations of many horses at this auction. There were some really fine looking horses and perhaps a few suitable horses that could fulfill you objectives for your riding and equine programs and mission. However, the fact that you were a reluctant on some horses you really thought hard about purchasing, says a lot about your final no go. Your instincts, apprehension and eye gave you the final necessary answer. There will be other opportunities. Btw, I would like to say you are currently caring for a long term “rescue” horse right now; “Belle”! You had no idea when you purchased her at an auction 14 months ago, that she would give you an amazing gift - Esmeralda; and also, you inherited Belle with a serious progressive, neurological disease - “Equine Shivers” - a heartbreaking prognosis and handicap. So, currently you are promising to care for her for the rest of her short or long life; as long as she can be comfortable with good, fit quality of life, and that means you have a rescue horse, not initially intended at purchase, but now Belle is filling that role. So, the naysayers, the complainers can be assured, you are caring for a rescue horse; in my opinion!!! Thx, as always, Shae and Kyle for bringing us committed followers/subscribers along to an auction adventure, where you both share so much knowledge and insight at these events! ☮️💟🙏👍🥰 💗🐎🐴💗
