Exhilarating Beach Ride With My 4 Horses! This Day Trip Was an Adventure

Hey Horse Lovers! Today we are taking the horses to the beach!!! I cannot wait to show you how beautiful this ride was. Riding our marvelous horses on the beach was exhilarating and full of equestrian adventure. We are riding at Silver Lake State Park on the shoreline of Lake Michigan. This ride is put on 1x a year by the DNR in the month of November. In this video we will walk, trot, canter, and gallop the horses along the beach and you'll get to feel the pure bliss and adrenaline rush of the horses hoofbeats in the sand. We will also let the horses splash, play, and drink out of this gorgeous freshwater lake. We had such an incredible experience, and I am truly thankful we had the opportunity to go this year!

I am 63 and have been blessed with a good friend who is sharing her horses with me. So blessed. Your video brought tears of joy to my eyes.

[@s.g.8010]

I was the little girl who mowed a neighbors lawn and took my quarter pay to the L.A. River stables and rented a horse for an hour of joyful dreams of being cowgirl. And now here I am on KZbin riding on a lakeshore with you-all so many decades later. I feel your joy, freedom of wind on my face and many kindness heart felt expressions that more than mirror my Spirit and definitely enjoying the breezy wind tickling my eyelashes. Thank you for including us on your ride. ❤

[@markstone2036]

These horses have such defined personalities. They walk with assurance. Jiminny Cricket exudes what we called in the military command presence. He is in charge and knows it. Drink up, boys. It's a big lake.

[@M-MMo]

Those young ladies are so lucky to be able to ride with you and your beautiful horses ❤ a girl's dream come true!

[@nancysouder5111]

It would be a dream come true for this 73 year old woman too! Due to various circumstances beyond my control, I haven't been on a horse in probably 45+ years. Watching you ride so easily just makes me want to get back in the saddle again! I don't know if I could even get on a horse anymore much less stay on.

[@Introvertzzzz]

​@@nancysouder5111Poor u im sorry to hear that miss. I user to follow lesson and i found it super fun!. But my mom eventually made me quit so it makes me really sad to see poeple having fun riding horses sometimes because i couldnt not follow my dream :( .

[@candicerunyon2762]

You smile a lot Shae, but this smile was a burst of joy from the inside out and beaming. What a wonderful day for both you and Jimminy. That would be like old times when it was just you and he, riding free. Yes, how beautiful and stimulating that must have been. Your students certainly will never forget it. Thank you so much for taking us along too!

[@juneterry8487]

I never really thought about how, as viewers, we can get drawn into believing we are actually on the ride with you. I always feel like I’ve had the wind in my hair as I’ve been riding along with you. Thank you Shae for enabling us to reach out of ourselves for a few minutes and feel like we are there with you. 🌹🌹🌹🌹

[@ObamAmerican48]

Jiminy is such a beauty!! His ears tell the story--he's having a blast with his human bestie Shae 🤎🤍🧡

[@maggieschopflin5728]

I adore that you call us "Horse Lovers" because while I've always thought horses were beautiful animals, after I started watching you're videos (right when you got Belle) I have truly fallen in love with horses and everything that goes into keeping them. So thank you for that.

[@maggieekane7845]

What a great day of riding Lake Michigan’s sandy beach shoreline. A rather nice long stretch of a wide beach. I could feel the wind and fresh air. The horses looked really fit, alert and had great stamina. You should be very proud of how vibrant and successful your riding and training programs have been developing in the last five years, Shae!! To see how strong, upright, healthy and happy the riders are along with the horse they bonded with today is inspiring! What a great, beautiful day to remember for everyone! First thing I noticed today, when you were doing the introduction of this video was your new saddle on Jimminy! And then you confirmed what my brain saw. 🥰 I loved watching the cool down walk to the staging area and how content the horses were and the same of your students. The last delightful picture for me, was the last scene with the horses loaded and all their faces poking out the windows looking bright eyed, alert, and happy. I believe they truly loved this healthy, controlled stimulating experience with their human companions. And Vice-versa. 🎼🎶🎶” Oh what a beautiful morning, 🎶 “Oh what a beautiful day “🎶🎶” ❤️🐴🐎🐎🐎❤️

[@samhaddock7668]

I felt like I was riding Jiminey!! What fun and freedom. You have taught me so much Shea and I love how gentle and patient you are around your horses. I especially love you being committed to your fillies, Ezzie and Ariel, for the next few years to build their talents and confidence. God love ya and thanks for taking me along.🏇❤

❣💯 Your journey going bitless, hands high in the sky, is about freedom and the exhilaration of life itself. Indeed, you are a role model for the rest of the world, YAY Shae! It's all about freedom. Thank you & your girls for being who you are and gifting us 💝💝 Kyle, your soothing baritone is icing on the cake!

[@btsxanime81]

Zazu and Arlo's riders looked really calm and collected on the horses. If one day they decide to purchase them, I am all for it. Great people and great horses riding together freely. :)

[@lindagrizzard2999]

Love love love the ride on the beach! Everyone and even the horses were having fun! I grew up in Minnesota with my ponies and horses and we would take them for swims in the lakes. I am enjoying all the different types of rides you take your students and horses on. I want to thank you Shae and Kyle for taking me along on your rides. I'm in my 70's and thoroughly enjoy each video. Love to you both and have a wonderful and blessed day. ❤❤

[@rocroc]

I first began riding horses at age three. Almost 76 years ago. Had I known then I could ride without a bit, I never would have used a bit. It has to make it so much easier on the horse. I'm glad you're sponsoring these new bitless products. Nice looking and stylish. I prefer Belle in the all black with jewels. Nice job.

[@filtersplz9319]

Thank you Shae, this reminds me of a very kind family in my youth who shared their horsey life with me. I will always remember their generosity.

[@kimwainacht]

I know nothing about horses. I have never and will never own one. I have been on maybe two rides in my life. I stumbled on your channel and I am hooked. I love to listen to you talk about your horses. I love what you do. I learn so much watching you. I think your horses are beautiful and I love the way that you have with them. ❤I can't wait to see Mushu, Ariel, Ezzy, and Belle grow and learn with you!

[@barbarabeckman6722]

I felt like I was on the great ride with you even though I haven't ridden for about 30 plus years. I still have my great love of horses and that will never change.

[@AG3NTK4YLA]

This is so cool! I've only ridden on the beach once it was a lot of fun! I'm excited to see belle ezzy and Ariel doing this one day! ❤❤

[@maryajaniak2896]

I can't believe that water is actually lake water it almost seems like the ocean with a little bit of waves. It looks like all the horses and their humans are having a great time. All your horses look good but then they always look good. The best to you and yours!

[@catbyte0679]

Yeah, we love our Great Lakes! I grew up on Lake Michigan and it was heaven, even in winter because the ice caves were so awesome. It looks like the ocean, but it's fresh, unsalty water and shark-free, lol.

[@maryajaniak2896]

Shark free is definitely a plus. Is Lake Michigan part of the Great Lakes? I grew up on Long Island, NY and now live in Massachusetts which I love better than Long Island. I did live in St. Louis for two years and South Florida for 18 years but there is no place like the Northeast for me. At 77 years old, this will be my home until the Lord calls me home. Thank you for sharing.@@catbyte0679

[@catbyte0679]

@@cattymajiv The sand is thanks to the pressure of weight of the glaciers that ground the rocks down to almost a powder and then water did the rest. The Great Lakes were formed by glaciers that melted after the last Ice Age approximately 20,000 years ago. Their present shape has been around for about 3,000 years.

[@moccasinlanding]

OMG, I had no idea there were DUNES..........wow, how beautiful....what a treat to watch it too.

[@jeaniLovesAnimals]

When I was younger and my family would vacation on the Oregon coast (where I live now), I would go to the stable where we stayed, rent a horse, and ride the beach every year on the same horse.. It was fabulous & and yes, like you, I would sit up in the saddle arms stretch out loving & living the moment.. Wish I were there. Thank you for taking us along with you. ❤️🙋🏼‍♀️🐈🐕

[@TammyRogers-sv4gc]

Omg I just cried when I seen how much fun everyone was having I don't have a horse I can ride as mine is having medical problems. I am going to save my money up to buy another one I miss riding this was my most enjoying thing in life I did for years my spirit is put on hold until I can get another one. This definitely has to be on my bucket list.❤❤😊

[@seventhdayissabbath8747]

Oh wow!!! That looked like it was an amazing day, and I loved the shot of all 4 horses sticking their beautiful heads out of the trailer window, so awesome! So glad you all had so much fun.

This was such a beautiful video. That beach is gorgeous and I really love to see Jimminy's mane flying like flames. He's amazing. What a fit horse he is for his age. 🐎💜

[@bernadettecartin]

How old is he? I'm fairly new here.

[@MR-ly4xt]

@@bernadettecartin I think Shae said that he was 22 years old. He's amazingly fit. I used to have a pony who made it to 30, but we stopped riding him when he was 20.

[@bernadettecartin]

@@MR-ly4xt Thanks for that info. I knew a racetrack pony who was still working at 29. I rode my mustang until he was maybe 24, can't remember, but I didn't ride him much anyway, not like these guys. He made it to 27. I can think of many examples of how much it varies from horse to horse. I do think if their people are paying attention the horse lets us know if/when it's time to retire. Hoping with Shae's excellent care and his constitution that Jiminy has several more years of good outings in him.

Beach riding is so magical❣️ Shae, how wonderful for you, your students and the horses. 😍 I live in So. Florida and went ocean beach riding and the 1st time you stopped to let the horses drink, for a split second it was no! That's salt water; they can't drink that. But then remembered it was lake water. Which is great they can drink it! How did you like your new saddle?! The other magical thing I liked when I had my horse was night riding under a full moon. The moon was so bright it was almost like daylight. Thank you so much for sharing this magical experience with us horse lovers! 🐴💓

Them looking out the windows of the trailers at the end was just priceless. So cute.

[@mdaly23md]

[@Damileth.preppy]

Didn’t jiminy have a ankle torn?

[@janetdiaz8916]

It was so nice for me to see Silver lake. I remember reading about it in the Little house on the Prairie series books. I remember the whole family rode horse and wagon across the frozen lake to get to a town nearby, where they could buy supplies. Pa was in a hurry to get back across the lake, because it was early Spring and the lake could begin to thaw and break up at any time. They made it back across the lake and camped there. It wasn't long and they witnessed the ice beginning to break up on Silver lake.

Oh, this is so exhilarating to watch! Decades ago, I worked on a racing farm in northern Mass, where we would pony Thoroughbred yearlings along the Atlantic shoreline (Crane Beach) to build up their legs and do hydrotherapy. It was beautiful, but an exhausting, wild ride. What it must be like to have only one horse to gallop on the beach--beautifully trained by you, and bitless to boot!

Being a small country does allow us access to both coasts though which are only around a 1 1/2 to 2 hour drive from the middle of our islands so we’re very lucky. As a youngster we had holidays at the beach with our horses. You’re right to be proud of your truly reliable horses, they look marvellous. A wonderful video, thankyou. Xx

Jiminy is so conscious of the camera he looks directly at it and perks his face and ears for his photo op! Amazingly smart and very photogenic horse. Having ridden on that beach I remembered and was right there with you. I rode an Appaloosa and my friend rode a Tennessee Walker. It was a blast. The only down side was getting as much of the sand off of the horses as possible before trailering up. Your horses and students were so impressive! Or did you hire movie stunt women to do the fancy riding? No stunt horses though-----just very fit, well fitted out and trained handsome horses. What fun!

The best time to swim in Lake Michigan is late summer/early fall, on a day when the air is cool (say, 67 F). The lake has had all summer to warm up pretty thoroughly. As long as the water is SLIGHTLY warmer than the air, you’re good to go. You just need a terry cloth robe or big towel afterwards until you can remove your clammy suit and get into your clothes.

We rode inside a big lake in Germany. There is one part that’s quite shallow for a long time. So we could ride into the lake quite far. We stood inside the lake and watched the sunset. To this day I still remember this experience vividly, it was so precious. All of your horses are so well behaved, perfect testament of a great training!

[@joannemckinley2487]

@@cattymajiv, thanks for your reply. There are actually a number of saltwater lakes in the world. Just to name a few, the Great Salt Lake in Utah, Mono Lake and the Salton Sea in California, the Dead Sea, and even the Caspian Sea (which is really a lake) are saltwater, so it is possible for lakes to be saltwater. The Great Lakes flow into the St. Lawrence Seaway, which is a series of locks, channels, and canals that connects into the St. Lawrence River, which flows into the Atlantic Ocean. That way ships are able to enter and exit the Great Lakes. It's another reason why I thought the Great Lakes were saltwater. I am happy to find out that the Great Lakes are freshwater, it's just something I didn't know before.
