I love how you stay out of your horses faces and don’t force their heads down to make them look round. So many riders can learn from you. All of your horses seem happy to carry their riders.

[@angelpony1657]

[@AlwaysYR]

I’m my dressage tests, you’re supposed to have your reins pretty tight. It’s not a bad thing, unless you pull your horses head back too far, which that is abuse.

[@CarolinaCarolina-ph9mx]

@@AlwaysYR Unfortunately, even if you don't pull the head back too far, it still can cause the horses damage to have to keep their heads in that position. It looks beautiful, but any time you have a horse move in a way that they wouldn't in nature, there is the potential to cause lasting damage.

[@BetterRidge.Equestrian]

@@AlwaysYR Dressage nowadays I see is a lot of “tension” which I think is a misconception that contact and connection means tension. If this tension is created by the horse seeking the contact then it is okay for that stage of the training. If created by the rider then it’s not okay as it creates tense, unhappy horses. When the horse seeks the contact and connection this is a good thing as it signals to the rider that horse trusts them and wants the contact. However, it’s not good to let this go on for a long period of time as the rider ends up holding up the horses head and it also means that the horse is traveling on their forehand. So when the horse seeks the contact it then becomes a signal to the rider that the horse is ready for the next step which is to drive the hind legs just enough so that the horse steps more under themselves which brings up the forehand and the horse becomes a little lighter in your hand. The horse will at first not be able to hold this lighter posture for long which is okay. The rider then needs to ask or drive again very kindly for the horse to step under themselves and then continue to repeat the process. This cycle can go on for a very long time; years even. Little by little the horse will get stronger and be able to hold that lighter posture for longer periods of time. This is the pathway to true collection and self-carriage. This is the end game and will take a very long time to get there. When in true self-carriage and collection the contact might look like it has tension but in reality the rider will feel only the weight of the reins. Also, the rider should feel so connected to the horse that the horse will seem to respond to the rider’s thoughts. The way Shae rides is also absolutely correct as she allows the horses to find their own balance while carrying a rider without the rider interfering with too much tension on the reins. This type of riding is also a necessary stage that comes before contact and connection. It is how very young and green horses should initially be ridden and very important for horses of any age being brought back into work. A horse at any stage of training Will especially benefit from riding on a loose rein while on the trails so that they can negotiate the terrain while carrying a rider and needing to stay balanced. A rider with too much contact on the reins while out on the trail can inadvertently cause injury or get into trouble. Also, any horse at any age or level can benefit from the rider riding in the arena without using their reins. The horse learns to better balance and stay centered under the rider and the rider learns to better balance themselves on the horse without using the rein as a crutch and they better learn to use their seat and leg aides. A win-win in my mind.

[@BetterRidge.Equestrian]

@@CarolinaCarolina-ph9mx Agree! The headset should never be “fixed”

[@jojong1308]

All the horses are so pretty and sweet!! I can't wait to see Ezzy and Ariel playing together!!

[@agfillion1]

Can’t wait to see Ezzy and Ariel together.

[@n.e.barton1299]

That's why they call it horse play, 😂

[@348Tobico]

Just think of things from Ezzie's perspective; Why do these people keep getting shorter?? Congratulations on your anniversary! And you are spending it together doing things you enjoy. So nice. Your horses trust you.That is priceless and you have worked very hard to earn it. These horses know you would never lead them into trouble. They looked so studious while you rode them; ears back for any words. Beautiful work.

[@Lh2bme]

I don't think Jafar's top is that bad. Honestly , people just like to be critical. Some horses dip a little bit more and It's not like he has a sway back and honestly he looks like he's happy and strong. as you stated you're working with your vet on making sure he's healthy, strong and happy. Arlo is so cute. Absolutely love your channel. You're wonderful with your herd.

[@angelpony1657]

Cannot Believe how Fast Ezzy is Growing!!! The more she grows the prettier she gets- I’ve got a feeling she’s going to be as Beautiful as her Mama!!! 😇

[@g3ponyqueen]

Ahh how cool was this! Arlo & Jafar were naturals during the tackless riding. Such good boys!😍❤ Mushu is so cute, he is improving so much. Ezzy is such a sweetheart! She absolutely adores you!

[@angelpony1657]

Model horse queen, Ive done cm work and collect, too-collected ever since I was in grade school, lol!!! 😇

[@patriciagardner7278]

Love the way the horses look without bridle and bit, so kind

[@rottiegirl0077]

Ezzy looked like a ballerina for a second when she stretched her one hind leg back. Happy Anniversary Shae and Kyle!

[@TrishCanyon8]

You know what I love and admire about you Shae? Besides your horsemanship, which is wonderful, your gratitude. ❤❤❤

[@splifster88]

Mushu is so cute! He is NOT fat!! He’s built to go the distance!

[@freespiritequestrian]

Thank you ❤️

[@T-J-C]

Ezzie's little back leg stretch when she got up was soooo adorable.

[@jackiebeck9065]

Man, you and Kyle are living the life, and I’m so happy for you! It’s such a privilege that you share it with all of us and I enjoy every minute!

[@Dianerose203]

I think Esmeralda is a beautiful horse. She’s gonna be so gorgeous when she’s older.

[@Shellyd2833]

Kyle and Shae congratulations on your 6th year marriage anniversary!!! 🍻 I have to say it was adorable and really awesome to see Kyle with Ezzy!! When a man shows his respect and compassion towards animals, ladies these men are good husband's and keepers 😉.. Esmeralda loves him very much!! Shae,I really never noticed Arlo much but boy another beauty!!! All your horses has their own uniqueness!! But all of them are very happy and loved and respected!!! Jafar. Has mysterious look about him!! I can't believe how big Esmeralda gotten 😳. She will be bigger then her mama Belle, i believe.? Well enjoy your supper and evening.😴 see ya!! 🙏🏻💙🙏🏻💜🙏🏻🐷🙏🏻🐶🙏🏻🐴🙏🏻🌻🦋🕊

[@leslieraisley9545]

Amazed at how well Arlo was at tackless riding. Jafar looked so good. I love watching him. Ezzy is growing so fast.

[@ericahenderson7262]

Ezzy is going pass Mushu pretty quickly. Oh yeah, I forgot how gorgeous Arlo’s mane is. All of yours and Kyle’s horse are so beautiful.

[@almostpronto2286]

Wow the horses look so stunning being ridden bridleless. Like something from a dream 🕊️

[@BertsmomUK]

I was surprised how big Ezzy is she seems to have grown all of a sudden, she's lovely.

[@freespiritequestrian]

She’s huge lol

[@dawnmaclellan7831]

You enjoy each of your horses so much it’s so wonderful to see. You’re serious about your training but enjoy every moment of it, and so do your horses. I wish all horses had this environment, you are their home!

[@horselovergirl502]

Today I trotted bare back for the first time 😊❤

[@PredictableEnigma]

Congrats! Big step!

[@karenroe9219]

Happy Belated Anniversary!!! Nice to see Kyle out there hugging Ezzy and can hardly wait for Ariel to be outside too!!! BLESSINGS

[@KathyCoker53]

I love how free the horses look during tackless riding. I have never tried it myself but it looks nice. Ezzy and Mushu are so sweet!

[@Jen-CelticWarrior]

“So Kyle, Ariel or Ezzy?” Kyle: “Yes!”😊💕

[@rosemaryabbott1020]

I love the friendship and understanding you have with all of your horses.

[@annjohnson8437]

Happy Anniversary! This was a super fun video to watch! Your horses (and the rest of your 4-legged family members) always look so happy, well cared for, and carefree! Thank you for posting such positive, entertaining content! ❤

[@Starrynight058]

Gosh, each of your horses are so beautifully unique. It's a pleasure to watch each and every one! Arlo is such a sweet boy....

[@Yourlocal_blonde12]

Who agrees free spirit equestrian is the best 👇👇👇👇👇

[@PredictableEnigma]

I'm in love with Mushu. He'll probably tone out over the next year, but I'm not worried about it at all. Essy's mane is almost folding over! How exciting!

[@debbieadkins2803]

Hello guys, you all are surrounded by beautiful horses❤️ Ezzy is growing so fast, she is super sweet, they are all sweet. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY HORSE LOVERS🐴

[@Dwsrs24]

This is a beautiful video to watch! The ultimate with horses (to me) is to be able to mount any horse in the yard and ride with as little tack as possible, which is really difficult. You did this and it looked so smooth and beautiful, both horse and rider! And happy 6th anniversary❣️

[@bella-bee]

Love Mooshy’s “fluffy slippers”!, the way his feather flops ahead of his hooves as he trots

[@karenmcbride1264]

She is so gorgeous! I cannot believe how tall she has grown! Ezzy is such a darling !

[@jeanettemoon472]

I echo all the positive comments about the tackless riding. You make it look so easy. My goodness, Ezzy is getting so BIG! It's amazing how much she has grown in such a short time. I look forward to every update you post featuring her and Ariel. I can hardly wait to see them together as a team. Happy Anniversary to you and Kyle. You guys make such a great team.

[@PennyLane66]

Argo is such an elegant horse, you look so good together

[@kathymazey1299]

I could watch you work with your horses all day, they respond to you so well. Ezzy just loves the attention that you give her. She’s getting almost as tall as Kyle. Congratulations and Happy Anniversary!

[@conniewojahn6445]

Good boy, Arlo. All of the horses are sweet, good boys and girls.

[@user-DonnaGibbs_no4t]

Arlo is a beautiful horse. You have such a gift of communication with your horses. Its great to watch. Jafaar is amazing and sharp. Your barn is looking really good.

[@snowflow07]

Happy Anniversary! 🥂 Loved watching Arlo. Really got to appreciate just how gorgeous he really is. You really have been busy ever since Ezzie arrived. Anxious to see the barn makeover and your new merchandise. Have a luv filled day. 💕🐎

Enjoyed so much! Thank you for sharing with us! 💙🌿🩷

You have amazing horses that all love you back. That was very fun to watch the bridle-less riding! It's always great to see Ezzy and watch her grow.

Shea, it doesn’t matter who you are riding, you always make it look so effortless. You certainly are a free spirit, beautiful rider with the most amazing horses 🐎 ❤🐎❤🐎❤️🐎

[@pea1andHim]

It was sure good to see Ezzie. And Mushu, Jafar, and Arlo. Love them all. And we can’t forget Ariel. She’s so pretty.

[@kathrynsinclare8459]

Oh lovely, I especially think this is a good idea. I could have ridden my mare like that too, but at that time 70’s no one I knew was doing that and I did not feel confident enough at that time to push forward with my gut. Sooo good to see you doing it with Arlo. He is such a sweet heart.

[@ehayes7849]

You have the nicest horses. Arlo is so beautiful and Jafari is a most beautiful Friesian. Yes, Jafari is stunning! You select the most amazing horses and your time and training with them is outstanding!

[@mooniepiereilly8923]

Beautiful all ❤ I especially loved when Ezzy stood up and extended her hind leg. What a pose, that's a glamor shot for sure. Such a model that princess is becoming! I also loved her interaction with Koa, so sweet a girl she is with everyone. Does Penelope ever interact with the horses? I am so happy for all of your experiences with all of the animals. Great work getting them to tack free riding.

[@carlaatkins2619]

I enjoy meeting your horses on a personal level. Love Arlo and Jafar. 🎶💐💖

[@user-zq3pd6zq5t]

I love all your videos. I usually do not comment or do thumbs up because I'm not sure how to do it on the TV. I agree with the former comments, your horses and other critters always look so happy! Keep up the good work!

[@user-ih6wy3gr6b]

Both Ezzy and Ariel are equally stunning! As they grow, mature and progress in training, .....they will be absolutely breathtaking. You are doing a fabulous job with those babies Shae. And it's perfectly okay Kyle to be a color snob. I too am a color snob, though I will refrain from stating my preference. I'm old, disabled and no longer have horses, .....so it does not matter. But you Kyle, .....need to be mounted on your heart ❤ horse. Let your spirit soar as you move out on the trails with the sun warming your back and the breeze cooling your face. My soul will be soaring right along with you! LOL 😊 - ACD (.....did I just give myself away?)

[@cynthiadugan858]

That was absolutely beautiful. Arlo 🙀. Jafar so sweet and beautiful. Mushu ALWAYS makes me laugh. Ezzi is so big! She looks taller than Ariel and Ariel isn’t exactly a dainty little thing🤣. Really looking forward to seeing Ariel move to the bigger stall. I’m so impressed with her progress. I have no horse experience but lots and lots of dog training experience so I have a little understanding of how much work you have done to reach this point. Her progress shows both your excellent work and her beautiful temperament & personality. It is truly a beautiful thing to see.

[@alissonrodriguez1652]

Ezzy is so big!!! I can’t believe she was a little newborn filly some months ago.

[@cindas7944]

This was such a fun video of your beautiful and wonderful horse family! I love how openly loving and full of gratitude you are towards your horses. I’ve seen other trainers, be mostly just business in their approach. There’s a HUGE difference between your horses and others that live without the affectionate and love. Love truly does make the world go round! I am SO looking forward to more training videos of Ariel, And her finally getting to meet Ezzy, Ariel is a precious little soul! I’m so over joyed she is getting this opportunity to have such a good start in life. Especially since she got pulled off of her mother so soon and in such an abrupt manner. Happy 6th Anniversary to you and Kyle! You both rock!🎉 Someday I would love to be in your neck of the woods and come for a visit and do some riding lessons.
