My Horse’s Crazy Mane Care Routine, Plus Riding! He is So Whimsical

Hey Horse Lovers! Today I am going to groom and unbraid Lumiere and show you our mane care routine! Then we will tack up and go for a ride in the outdoor arena. In this video I will show you our entire process of what we do to for his hair care and training session. This video is PACKED FULL of training tips, thoughts, and methods. Lumiere is the most breathtaking horse I have ever seen. He is a Friesian/Clydesdale/Gypsy with a sweet soul. From his striking appearance and enchanting presence, this horse captivated me. I cannot wait to continue developing our partnership. In this video you will get to see us groom, tack up, and do some groundwork then RIDE! I will also discuss how I go about training new horses and allowing them to adjust to a new home. I am excited for our future together and I hope you are too. HE TRULY IS MY DREAM HORSE!

Hey Horse Lovers! Wow Lumi’s hair sure does take a lot of time and work but it’s so worth it. I hope you enjoy our little *Surprise*! Don’t forget we have two more surprises (these ones are big and no they are not products) coming!!!! I CANNOT WAIT! -Shae 💄💕🐎 Bridles & Lipsticks: thespiritedhorseboutique.com/

[@gudrun5531]

Lumi and you have found the perfect match, because he is so gorgeous and you are willing to put in the work to make the most of his mane and tail! I am loving it.

[@JaneHudnell]

I really enjoy your vlogging. ❤. Your horses and farm bring back so many happy memories for me on my days that I spent with my horses. Shae, the way you teach others how to talk to your horses in such a kind and caring way is amazing. You are an awesome instructor too!

[@WhatistheTreeofLife2U]

Love seeing his hair flowing in the wind... 😅

[@jaysmith8199]

Lumi is gorgeous- that hair care routine - wow! He looks like he needed a wash as he was so sweaty. He's still got his winter coat as well. It'll be interesting to see his progress as you work with him ❤

Lumi should be a model for that horse hair care brand in an ad of him running along, his mane flowing and shiny. He'd look stunning and be a great advert for them considering how beautiful he is.❤

[@user-uw8ib3sw7d]

So very true! I could see him standing on the crest of a hill with his mane blowing in the wind! I don’t think I have ever seen a horse that beautiful!

Lumier gets more and more beautiful every video! He and all the others are thriving under your care! Thank you for being such a good “ horse mom”

[@jp13119]

You are such a good horse mom that you probably don't see that your horses KNOW they are being filmed and behave beautifully and more importantly they SMILE and that tells the rest of us that you really are a great human.💙

[@PoppyRussianDoll]

I’ve seen some beautiful horses and no one can tell me my heart horse growing up wasn’t the most beautiful horse to ever live😂 But Lumè is an absolute stud muffin! He looks like a princess should be ridding him in a field of flowers, bare back with her dress flowing in the wind and flowers braided into his hair. He’s one of the most beautiful horses I’ve ever seen. A true dream of a horse

[@piaffe25rider]

Oh my mom was a hairdresser for 42 years- she just passed on and I wish she were here to see this video..she also was a horse/animal lover and she would have totally loved lumi's locks!!!!! Rip mom but she's smiling down on you guys!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Sooo Cute!!!!!!! Hug him for me!!!!!!

He's sooooo gorgeous, what a sweetheart. He looks absolutely magical. I adore that you named him Lumiere, the name suits him perfectly.

[@SatiricalLizard]

Lumi is so good, he seems to enjoy his spa day! Or maybe he just enjoys the bonding time with his human 😊

[@PredictableEnigma]

I LOVE shedding season. For horses, dogs, cats, all furry pets, it's satisfying seeing the transformation.

[@Cozycountry1]

Except when you kiss your pet and get fur on your mouth 😹. I have a shorthair male cat, but he still sheds quite a bit and I love to give him a kiss each night, but not sure he appreciates it.

[@debdavis8423]

Oh wow ! I have 2 Great Pyrenees OMG they are already blowing their winter coat, interested in a side job grooming them out? LOL 🤪😂😂. All creatures are beautiful after they come out of their winter coats!

Little Ariel in the back😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤

[@lesliemoiseauthor]

Ariel is my favorite.

[@infernowarrior9884]

You are riding a fairytale horse straight from a Renaissance novel. You should have at least 20 more good years together, and slowly building his muscling and strength, no matter the social pressure, is the right choice. Explaining it is, too, because it educates and shows your purpose. Good job.

[@dalemartindale5372]

I swear if that boy gets any more gorgeous it would be like staring into the sun. Even though he's a big boy, and you're kinda short (like me) you look like you're perfectly proportioned together. Just beautiful. ❤

[@Hakulanni]

This Horse is truly special. Your love and attention to each Horse you own is remarkable. No wonder they all love you so much. It's very evident.

[@lotsamoxie]

🤩Lumiere is more handsome than any movie star! And he is such a good boy, learning & acclimating as he gets more comfortable. 💖

[@matertmutt436]

Wow, he is beyond beautiful. He certainly is a dream horse. He looks great, what you're doing is working. Thank you for sharing him this way. I don't know why I love him, it must be what you said about him being a dream horse. Really, thanks so much for sharing his beauty and progress.💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@lesliemoiseauthor]

This kind of mane would not be something I would ever choose, precisely because of the level of maintenance required. But I am happy that you have the horse of your dreams. 💓. Great job helping him get stronger!

[@karencuster6030]

I agree big NO for me !

[@KristinaBenoit]

Lumi's such a wonderful addition to Free Spirit Farms! I love the new lip color, Buckskin Beige. It's a fresh shade that's perfect when you are outdoors in the summertime.

[@debbieredmon5063]

I think that Lumiere will be your perfect partner. His head is on straight I can see him carrying himself as he gets stronger. I know you are a big trail rider and he will do well but I can see him being your dressage partner for as much as you want him to be. His attitude its lovely. Even if you never do any kind of competition, it does not matter. Enjoy your boy.

[@AnikinQH_FP]

He is so perfect 🥺🥺 his mane is stunning!

[@Dwsrs24]

WOW! WOW! WOW! Can Lumi get any more gorgeously handsome? Your grooming finishing touches make him sparkle. He is such a gorgeous man horse ... meaning he looks every bit a stud horse while not being a stud, lol.

[@deborahflack9958]

I really think your new lipstick looks great on you Shea, you should wear that colour often 💄

[@susanowens4528]

I COULD WATCH HIM FOR HOURS --WHAT A GREAT LOOKNG HORSE ==MONEY WELL SPENT AND I BET EVERY ONE WILL SAY THE SAME THING 🥰🥰🥰😃

[@kirstingooge3918]

I’d never noticed how adorable Lumi’s ears were until you started riding him and got that POV. They’re buckskin but their edges are black in color. So pretty and so much fun to watch as he listens to what you’re saying while he also is constantly taking in his environment 😂 What a gorgeous specimen of a horse both in stature AND in personality 🥰

[@LeahsAbiding23]

He is an outstanding horse in every way. His mane and tail are incredible. His temperament is fantastic. He’s just gorgeous all the way around. 😊💙💗

[@Believinabel]

Buckskin Beige! I can't wait to try it with a darker liner. Also your outfit looked so good with him, you two matched (black and gold).

[@esmerush8320]

Omg Shea he is so breathtaking, what a magnificent boy he is. I love seeing him and watching you bring him on so responsibly ❤

Wow! Lumi is so talented and he has made a great progress since he is in FSE. I love how you train and care for all of your horses❤

Lots of work. I think you’ve got one smart horse. He reacts to you by the way you treat him. You’ve given him a life with other horses and love. ❤

[@sherylmarsh5533]

Poetry in motion! Such an awesome boy!!❤

[@suzanne9622]

You don't need a timeliness for bitless or English or anything. Follow your gut and stay western for a year if needed. Do whatever the horse requires. You are sovright NOT to rush anything! There are no instant results but for a green horse he looks darned good!! I am remembering your tips as I start my own Morgan from scratch. You both looked great. I am a big believer in 'riding on feel' and that is what you naturally do. Your body adjust to what is needed which is how you train esp a green horse. Lastly thank you for the mane tips. My lippitt Morgan's mane is long bit half the length of Lunis. It has a natural curl. I want it to eventually grow long like Lumis. Thank you for explaining the products and shock regimine. I am ordering them. They are exactly what we need. That company should sponsor you! Thanks again for the mane demo, exactly what I needed. Above all with a green horse training takes time to progress and you need to stay safe at all times. Every ride you will likely feel a tad bit better ea time. Great video. 😊😊😊

[@Hollybank5]

His mane is gorgeous ❤. What a handsome boy he is !!!

[@maggieekane7845]

What a huge amount of hair!!! Of course horses’ manes and tails are one of their beauty features! 🥰❤️❤️❤️

He’s definitely my cup of tea……I’m in my late 70’s and only ever had a few lessons but used to “help out” at stables close to me when I was growing up, and as a reward they would let me ride out with them on the beach (I live in north Liverpool England and close to the beach) have just found your channel and am enjoying your commentary. Thank you for sharing your beautiful horses with people like me. Bye💁🏼‍♀️

[@user-fs8mm3oo4s]

Ezzy and Ariel sure are enjoying the show, nosey little foals. Love the Buckskin lip shade on you, you look pretty with that color. Lumi has such beautiful hair. To me I think what makes Lumi so handsome is that he does not have a large or long head, his short nose is so cute. He is such a beautiful Big Boy.

Gosh, i dont know how many times i can say he's gorgeous and stunning but I have to say it again " he's so gorgeous and stunning" you two look so amazing together, I get your excitement, he looks like so much fun, can't wait to see you canter him on a trail!

[@batkat1378]

Shae, each video is a step closer to the vision that popped into my mind the first time you were on Lumiere, before you purchased him…Lumiere decked out in black tack with his mane & tail free flowing while you are in the saddle dressed all in classic black with your blonde mane also free flowing as the two of you move together as one. I hope when the time comes, you will post such a picture as I am sure it will be even more ethereal than the one in my head from that first day y’all met. I have no idea why that concept of y’all popped into my head that day, but each time I see you working with Lumi I see that vision of y’all together in my mind’s eye. (Hope the above doesn’t sound too creepy. I just mentally process some thoughts a bit differently, sometimes with detailed visuals in my head being the outcome. And yeah, people often think I’m a bit weird until they realize that I don’t just march to a different drummer but to an entirely different band…usually classic rock, hard rock, or ‘80s hair band.) Thank you so much for sharing your horses and parts of your life. Have loved horses all my life but never really had opportunity to be around them.
