[@dreamcatcher3861]

Bless you Shae, you’re so lovely. It’s so good to see someone who obviously loves their horses more than anything. I love that you said you won’t sit on your foals until they’re 4 years old. Too many horses are ridden far too young and develop arthritis, dsld, spine issues etc completely unnecessarily. I’m gutted that Jr has broken Oliver to ride and drive at the tender age of 2, it honestly broke my heart. 💔

[@sarahk3830]

The way Penelope wags and wiggles her tail is so expressive, you just know what’s she’s thinking. 💓

[@leonamcginnis]

Shae you are so blessed to have Kyle. He's strong and such a good helper in whatever needs to be done. The winter weather in this video was just the beginning for those here in Missouri. Before all this was over our wind chill factors were -30* with the actual temperatures as low as -15* for a couple or three nights. I love the way you guys play with your dog and Penelope. I love to watch all your animals and how you interact with all of them. I also think it's absolute precious the way Kyle picked Penelope up and carried her to the house and how she gave him a good talking to on their way back. I just love you and all your animals family.

[@APromisedFriend]

A big THANK YOU to Shae! Late last spring I contacted her about starting a KZbin for my DOG TRAINING business near Toledo Ohio. She was so gracious and honest about her experience. Very encouraging for me in my 60's! Now 6 months into it and I have learned a lot! Since then, we have gotten a CHINCOTEAGUE Pony colt from the island of Chincoteague Va. I have added a few videos of his progress and training to my channel as well. I hope some of you will enjoy watching his progress! Free Spirit Equestrian has been an inspiration!

Kyle is such a good co-animal caretaker :) Carrying Penelope in was so sweet, after trying to shovel her a path. I know you appreciate his help, but it doesn't hurt for us to acknowledge him too :)

I was noticing the same thing. Horses' thick coats are very insulating.

As long as it stays below the freezing point, caked snow on top of the backs of those horses will keep them more insulated than if there were no snow. Nature knows best.

I agree with Molly Short. Put them in the arena during bad weather. I’ve had horses since I was 11, and I’m 74 now, and never leave them exposed like that with just an open stall!

Just found your channel today. I'm older and I am long past riding but I miss my horse terribly - even after so many years. If I could, I would just rescue and rehabilitate horses all the time. Never minded the mucking because I loved him so much. I think I feel a lot of what you feel about our love and respect of horses. They're magnificent. ❤

[@mollyshort2390]

I know you know more then I do about horses but I think I would put Bell and Esmeralda in the arena for you that way you don’t have to worry about them at night and put a camera in the arena so you can watch them

[@Dwsrs24]

My thought is about "herd mentality" and horses being prey animals. Belle and Ezzy could be stressed now that all the other horses are in the barn. They may be fine as far as the cold goes but it's also stress to be away from their herd mates (in this case Bagheera and Ariel).

[@Dwsrs24]

After seeing all the others being taken to the barn, Belle & Ezzy could be waiting their turn to be taken to the barn.

[@sweetdreamweaverart]

They will be just fine. She said Bella doesn't like the barn and Ezzy has never been in it. Putting them in will cause more stress then not being with the rest of the herd.

[@aryanelarocque7605]

I agree 100% I would bring belle and Esmeralda into the indoor arena and give them food and water there.

[@kimcwhite6509]

mollyshort Shea feeds her horses for heat. She mixes salt in their grain for good water consumption & she knows what environment is best for their psyche. Belle & Esmie will be fine, especially looking at their breed, size & body condition. Many horses survive out in the cold weather❤️

WOW! That is a major storm coming your way. All of the horses look happy and safe in their stalls, plus Belle and Ezzy in the shed. Koa looks so happy and excited in this weather. It's always fun seeing how excited double-coat dogs get when the temperatures drop. Penelope is just so cute and funny, especially when she was squealing while Kyle carried her. I was really impressed that he could carry her, because Penelope pig does not look lightweight! Shae and Kyle, take care and stay safe!!!

[@csydney]

I know you said that you like to do most everything yourself because you like to control the safety and care issues.... While that is all obviously true; in addition, however, I am quite certain that you feel like me, in that all of the sweet souls in your care are your babies and caring for them is a pleasure. The time we spend nurturing each of them, is building our bond. Through our actions and vocalizations they connect to the love we have for them. I know, for myself, that the ickiest jobs are still my honor to handle; in my mind, each day is a celebration. It goes back to the saying "When you're doing what you love, you are never really working." I respect so much the passion that you have for each member of the herd along with Penelope, Koa and, of course, Kyle ❣️ Take good care of each other, stay warm and toasty, and enjoy the beauty of the snow ~

[@freespiritequestrian]

Yes this! ❤️

[@serinamagick7192]

I would totally leave Bell and Ezzy out, they will be fine. In Alaska ….very VERY few people put their horses indoors but they provide them with run in shelters, 24 hay and water..often temps as low as -35 and winds as high as 60-70mph in some areas.

[@Tam-Solo70]

[@emilyhope7468]

I love snow and we seem to get less and less each year in NC. So I loved watching your video. You and Kyle have a lot of responsibility. You make it look so easy, but it's hard, manual labor!! I was thinking too bad I don't live in your area. I'd love to help and I'm a control freak as well. I'm at least 30 years your senior so you'd probably find me passed out after cleaning two stalls!😀 You really know your business Shea and your students are so lucky to train under you. You always have so much enthusiasm. I am glad you showed Penelope pig. I was wondering if she liked to roam in the snow. Kyle was so sweet picking her up (like a damsel in distress) and carrying her home. Good job Shea. You are a great horse mommy. Also glad Kyle is involved so much. Let it snow🥶😁❤️

[@bren8309]

I was just thinking the same thing the one lady said up above is I would have stuck the two girls in the indoor arena inside. That's what I used to do. They don't have blankets on it's really crappy outside all they've got is a three-sided shed to keep them out of the elements they would have been perfectly fine inside that Arena but whatever

[@dawnbutler9649]

Where do you get the water during sub temps? I hated hauling buckets from the house to the barn, and breaking water 2 to 3x day. And the muck goes to hard rock that is so hard on horses feet.... Then it all melts and is almost knee deep for days and weeks. Have you ever walked out of your boots cuz they got stuck so deep in the mud? I've had to walk one foot barefooted from barn to house more than once.... Or you get stuck and fall over. You have a really nice barn... Mine is a six stall pony barn.... Not sure what my daddy was thinking back in early 1960s. Started out with Shetlands....quickly grew to TWH and later in my 30s, paint Morgan/Appaloosa. We just got 8 inches snow here in East TN... My last baby had to leave us suddenly at age of 29 back in Feb 2022. Whenever it is rainy, cold, or crazy with fireworks, I get PTSD, still worrying about her. I look out to pasture and tell all my babies I am glad they are warm and dry in their resting places.

[@monaliberty473]

After this year with all the mud issues, are you thinking of doing anything to try & alleviate it with drainage & maybe hauling out the dirt & bringing in sand. I had mud here like you have & couldn't stand it. The constant trying to deal with muddy legs, thrush, scratches..Yuck. Come spring dug all the mud & black dirt out, put down a stone base & 6+ inches of sand. Religiously pick up manure... No more mud. Was a lot of work and expense; but, they aren't standing in mud to their knees. A thought.

[@LETMino85]

None of my horses would use their shelters. I'd find them sleeping in the snow, or just standing together with their butts to the wind. TBH one gelding did use the pole barn as a bathroom. Dad said it was because he was 'proud cut.'.... he always pooped in the same place.

[@leslieewing9088]

There is an advantage to doing the work yourself. You will see eith your own eyes the condition of the horses, how they are eating, how they are drinking... The most important part, in my opinion, is how is the poop! That sometimes will be the first indication of what is going right or wrong.

[@suzanne9622]

While frostbite isn't common in horses, if you live in an area where your horses could be exposed to frigid temperatures for long stretches of time-especially if there's rain, ice, or snow-keep an eye out for the signs of frostbite. Healthy horses handle frigid temperatures better than we do, but their extremities still are vulnerable to frostbite. The good news about frostbite in horses is that you’ll rarely see it. But occasionally you’ll notice the telltale signs that a horse has spent too much time in the frigid cold, maybe as a foal: his ear tips might be gone, or maybe even part of his tail. My Morgan was left out in frigid weather too long and lost just a small part of the tip of his ear. The former owner told me this when I purchased him. Horses and esp babies need protection from freezing temps, rain and wind chill. They handle it better than humans but they still feel it for sure.

Well...Here we’re it through the storm and doing all right... Last night hubby and I cozied up and read some then had the most hilarious Scrabble tournament of sorts either of us has ever had, lol...Today I’m doing some artwork and he’s kicking back taking it easy... Tomorrow after the storm passes through, we break out the snow blower and hot chocolate-might do a little sledding out back later, if the wind calms down...
