I forgot to add that watching the foals run about was so cute … loved the accompanying music 🎶 too! Can’t get over Exzy’s size … she looks like a mature mare already … and sort of dwarf’s Ariel. And Ariel’s such a pretty foal as well! Love the ‘foal boot camp’! 🤣😂🤣 At first I thought you said full boot camp!

[@chickengirlBelle]

i feel so sad about poor Belle

[@ivanejorland3930]

Not Gaston he is so handsome and kind surely a fave to your riders...

[@laurelbozman6997]

Amen to that

[@pennylane428]

Your husband is amazingly patient and kind.

[@nisawallace5903]

I second that. Both are such a wise and compassionate team.

[@ceebee987]

It takes a very strong and loving soul to buy, rehab (for lack of a better word), and then move these horses along. It's beautiful that you give them the most amazing chance at a happy life with someone who really appreciates a well rounded and educated horse, and keeps and spoils them for the rest of their lives. It's one of the reasons I love your channel so much. ❤❤

[@Susan-j3w]

Ditto . . . ❤❤

[@christopheryanac977]

Yes!

[@christopheryanac977]

Was thinking the same thing.

[@heartlesskitten88]

She's helping create good horse citizens that will be someone else's heart horse and that takes a strength and love as you say.

[@janetdavidson4685]

I agree with your words. I just recently found her on facebook. I love her videos. I have learned so much.

[@Lisspeed]

I love how cuddly Ezzie is! She always walks up to you for some cuddles the moment she sees you! She may be big... But she'll likely always remain a big baby, who LOVES some attention.

[@BinkyNoss]

The perfect comparison to what you do is someone who gets a precious 8-week old puppy to train to be a service dog. These angels spend 24/7 socializing and training this puppy with the intention of giving them up for a fulfilling life of helping someone with special needs. I couldn't do it, but boy do I admire those who do. I admire what you are doing too.

[@annpachini2155]

I think when the prisons began training service dogs was a wonderful program. It helped to get more service dogs available but also gave the prisoners something to do that was helpful to others.

[@suzibee9796]

Great comparison! 😊

[@estherherranen6123]

🙏🙏🙏💯

[@emberbaker7798]

You're like a finishing school for horses. You train them properly, get them fit, undo their bad habits, instill good habits, all to prepare them for a better "marriage" & ensure they have the best shot at a happy, productive future. Makes perfect sense to me. Your primary efforts are educational for your riders, your horses, and your You Tube audience. I admire you very much.

[@raraavis7782]

That's a great analogy 👍🏻

[@traceyparadiso8380]

You explained her mission perfectly♥️🐎

[@comraderaichu6940]

If she didn't move along horses, she wouldn't be able to get more of them. There would be no Belle and Ezzie (who knows what situation Belle would be in now if Shae hadn't been able to buy her), no Ariel (who needed an experienced person to work with her), no Prince Charming (who had someone that did their very best to help give him a good quality of life), and would the person who might have bought Bagheera have been kind enough to keep her when they found out she was a thirty year old horse instead of the age they said she was at the auction? We get to enjoy the horses for a little while, they go to good homes eventually, then we get some new ones to enjoy. It's a cycle with a lot of joy and some pain but she can help a whole lot more horses doing it this way.

[@AdgTee21]

Well said!!

[@TheRussianDollPoppy]

Ariel has such a good mind for an almost yearling. I’m impressed by her calm demeanor she’s really going to make a great horse.

[@ivanejorland3930]

Ariel gained a joie de vivre in the company of Ezze the pretty foal we all cherish these two growing up in good health at Shae and Kyle home

[@kathleenmcdonald6641]

I love seeing Ariel coming out of her shell. Essy and Ariel are perfect together. Makes me smile.😁

[@CapriUni]

As for "moving horses along," I like to remember that feral horses who live "in the wild" often move around and join new herds. So you selling them on to "fresh pastures" and new herds is just part of a horse's life. Heck, even humans grow up and move to new cities and bond with new people.

[@Qu33nMary444]

That's good to know, I wasn't aware that horses in the wild will join other herds 😊 I'm learning so much about horses from this channel, it's awesome ❤

[@Sine-gl9ly]

You're right to think of 'moving on' lesson horses to what is - hopefully - a forever home, before _too_ long. It's good for _them_ , it's good for a family or individual who want a genuine, realistic 'known quantity' and it's also good for whichever new horse needs gou to find him or her! When I bought ponies to rehab, my aim was _always_ to move them on. There were only a few who never left me. A couple were too old, and a couple were too 'difficult' (mentally damaged), and those, my conscience wouldn't let me let them go _anywhere_ 'away' until ... you know. And one was just ... adorable. But I didn't have all the keepers at once, of course!

[@susanthomas4077]

Hi Shae! Anyone who has rescued animals all their life understands your mission. I've rescued dogs for over thirty years. You love every animal you save, as if they're your own, so you can't help but shed tears when they go. It's truly emotional but there's only one of you with the talent & skills to transform the horses into safe, loving pets. W/o you, 99% of the horses would have a very different outcome. You can see that every horse's personality is as different as every person's personality, so you're able to successfully match them to their forever home. Most people need you to invest the quality time upfront so they're able to pick up where you left off & experience the joys of owning a horse. Bless you for all that you do for the horses & the people who adopt them. ❤

[@michellesink-davis]

I just love Ezzy and Ariel's reaction to the ball 😂

[@janedeclarico5920]

How comforting to see that Ezzie is going to be an elegant, beautiful mare like her Mom. She is the silver lining inside of the proverbial cloud. It will be absolutely wonderful to see you bring her along. So healing for you too.

[@raraavis7782]

Indeed. Imagine Belle hadn't been in foal. Then she would have been carefully trained for a year, just to get sick at the point where she was ready to be sold. Having had gorgeous Esmeralda out of her, sweetens the deal of now having an incurably sick horse instead, at least a little bit. Or so I would imagine.

[@vickilynn1204]

When Ezzy is in the sun you can really see her dapples. Beautiful

[@Grimmbaessu]

Zazu's side eye!! "What do you mean I'm not staying here forever?"😂

[@AliceSmith-d2h]

For her being 30 years old she is beautiful! Sweet Belle I pray she becomes stable!

[@marymacgregor6952]

A much happier day on the farm today. Love watching the foals play.

[@mariamadsen878]

I have never seen, happier horses in my life, and I’m 66 years old. It’s all because of the care and love you and Kyle put into them. Have a relaxing day. 😊

[@suziebatt4586]

It would be lovely if everyone understood that the time, love, and training you invest in your horses helps them become someone else's heart horse. What you do with and for them, opens doors for them to move to wonderful homes and have great lives.

[@sharonsoulsby8958]

You and Kyle have such loving hearts. Never, ever apologize for following your (YOUR) plan for your horses, business and future. You are an amazing horsewoman and businesswoman who is supported by an understanding, caring husband. Enjoy this time and place in your lives and God bless.

[@jadedkitty728]

I really needed this video, my little cousin passed away and I have been so angry at the world, but seeing your foals playing together, seeing that no matter what Belle's future she is safe and loved, seeing your dedication to your mission and the wellbeing of all your horses, gives me some peace. You make a difference for your horses and for me as well. Thank you for doing what you do, and thank you for sharing a lovely day.

[@3rdruler]

I am sorry for your loss. I hope things in your life get better.

[@Sicilian120]

We just realized how relaxed we were after watching you give love and encouragement to your horses. The way they respond to you & Kyle just warms our heart. We’ve been following you for almost a year and truly appreciate all that you share. We are sending our love to you and your babies. ❤

[@rosemary702001]

Thanks for showing us the foals at play. Ezzy looks so much like Belle when running or striking that alert pose. I think they enjoyed the ball most when Kyle played with them! They are so cute when they check in with you then go back to running. All the horses look wonderful. Glad you had a nice weather day to enjoy them!

[@JamieNicole729]

Ezzy trying to nibble on the ball had me cackling out loud 😂

[@ronsamborski6230]

If Kyle put Koa’s ball in the paddock with the foals, I wonder what they would do with it? It’s got a handle for Koa to carry it around, maybe the foals would do the same. It is pretty small compared to the exercise ball, though.

[@Kat-gj9pq]

Ariel's soul seems to have a natural yearning to jump... she looks so energized when doing test hops.

[@ehayes7849]

I love watching these babies - both are beautiful and curious - love Ezzy's beautiful face!

[@joancruickshank7771]

just remember that you not on this earth for other people's approval !!!

[@vivianwinford3681]

There's a good feeling you get when you send a animal out to another situation to be appreciated and loved by someone else. I raised German Shepherd dogs for many years and it always gave me such a proud feeling to see one of my pups go out to their forever home to be loved and for them to fulfill their purpose of a companion and protector. You are doing your horses such a wonderful thing... to train them into loving well trained horses to be able to be well loved members of a equine family. ❤ all your videos. Keep up your work with a purpose. ❤ 🐎 🐕 🐖

[@freespiritequestrian]

Wow that’s amazing!

[@AlmostHeavenly]

i CAN NOT wait for Ezzy to get her "Adult" coat. shes BEAUTIFUL. Just like her mom. i loved when they played in the arena!

[@dianatracy9687]

I totally think Bell l is going to get better after she gets over the weaning process and with the vitamin E and all the magical things and thoughts around her. She's such a magnificent soul when you watch her run.. She is the queen

[@jessicarodgers8445]

Your channel warms my heart ❤🐴🐕🐖

[@Cynthia-p3e]

I love they jumped the pole thing on their own ❤

[@cynthiacontini]

So nice to have a catch up with all the horses after yesterday's emotional video. Love the foals and their exuberance. Sending hugs and positive vibes.❤❤

[@fleetskipper1810]

The foals cavorting around with the ball was just great. I know that saddlebred is only a small percentage of Esmeralda‘s heritage, but it really comes out in those moments when she gets excited and struts. And Ariel‘s quarter horse heritage does, too. She’s got quite the stop on her.

[@GuiltyPleasures2]

Ariel has gained so much confidence.

[@northernlightz2959]

You run a business in a very loving and heart type environment. But in the end, it is a business. You need to do what you need to do, and your the boss. I think what people have a problem with, it's they will miss the horse(s) as you sell them. For me when you sold Jafar I was sad, but it's no biggie as he's in a loving home, and you will ensure they all find loving homes. As a business owner you can't let the people get to you emotionally. It's your business not theirs. You are doing beautifully and you and Kyle are rockin it!!

[@migrabar79]

What a treat seeing the foals having a ball! (pun intended) 🤣

[@laurensmidansky7619]

Totally adorable foals!! What fun watching them investigating the ball!! Kudos to you for raising such beautiful young horses!!

[@Anniecan13]

Not exactly the same situation but I hear the same thing volunteering for a dog rescue-- people asking how someone can hand a dog over to an adoptive home after fostering them. - I always say I would rather shed a tear seeing them off to their forever happy home than cry because they are to be euthanized because I was unwilling to get attached. It is not easy to love and let go but so thankful for people who do so- Thanks Shae and Kyle for sharing this journey... may the blessings always outweigh the heartaches.....

[@freespiritequestrian]

Yes exactly!

[@auggiedoggiesmommy1734]

Yes! If people didn’t foster I would never have had my dogs! I’ve had three rescue Goldens and thank goodness for the people with the patience to to take in dogs that haven’t been trained, train them, get them out of overcrowded shelters, and find them great homes.

[@HorseLady1109]

It’s nice to see you smile today. Hugs.

[@karenroe9219]

I love how Ezzy and Ariel look at Kyle when he's out there with them and playing. They look at him like a teacher and one of them!!! It's beautiful!!! BLESSINGS

[@freespiritequestrian]

So precious!

[@lisagilbert8472]

Hey Shea, I would be honored to own one of your horses. To receive a horse that had been loved and spoiled and train is priceless. I cannot image how bittersweet when the time comes that you move them along to their forever homes. I love your mission at Free spirit equestrian farm. Enjoy your relaxing day on the farm.

[@lindag4484]

I had to comment a second time. I get it. You equip the horses with life skills that will assure them of good homes. And, for a sentimental few, they will stay with you, possibly forever. Makes perfect sense to me. You are equipping each horse for the very best chance to land in an excellent place.

[@suzynoe]

I love how she helps horses by moving them along. It's like, bootcamp for the horses so they can find their forever homes. I would love to have a horse from her. She's so good to them and I love that she is open and lets people know what her plans are.!!! These horses are amazing!!!

[@lindag4484]

Ezzy wants the kind of ball with the 'horse handle' on it so she can pick it up and toss it! Wow! Ezzy has her mother's form and trot - beautiful! ...and is that Ariel looking coppery-red now, with black mane, tail, and socks? - beautiful! It's great they have each other.

[@katieswarbrick-vq2wo]

You are such a huge ray of sunshine, even when your dealing with heavy emotional issues. The world could do with far more people like you....😊

[@rustea9695]

I think it is wonderful you get horses that need to be trained and pass the well mannered horse onto other people. I wish there were more people in the industry like you.

[@laurawentworth6237]

Love watching the fouls together and running around playing

[@user-sn8vm8yl1l]

Such a great day for you and us too. We all needed this. I could watch the girls all day. So beautiful and happy ❤

[@Revtyme7]

Thank you for explaining what you do working with horses so they have a chance at a good home rather than going to the meat plant or to awful situations with bad buyers. You were a miracle for Belle when you found her as most buyers would not take the time or expense and loving care of her if they found out she was sick. God Bless you both and your work rehoming horses and for taking care of beautiful Belle.

[@Carnivorecatherine]

Do not feel badly about what you’re doing in good conscience! You’re doing so right by these horses, helping them to reach their full potential, have wonderful full lives, sharing them with us, & then new owners. It’s so beautiful. I love the exercise ball. Great idea!

[@meryleporter6390]

You do such a service to rehab horses. And how lucky you are to have Kyle, a loving husband to enjoy it all. God Bless!!!!

[@Tam-Solo70]

Good Morning Shae!!! Great little update video! Thank you ❤

[@sabrinar.porter2487]

I think it’s so admirable that you share these beautiful blessings for other people who need their heart❤horse!

[@jennifervanderyacht6179]

What a wonderful selfless person you are! I’d be crying every day just at the thought of moving horses along. The thing is it’s that you read your horses so well. The work you and your staff do is going the extra yard to ensure they are ready. I love watching these videos-and if I ever do order something, it will be mustang mauve lol

[@dianatracy9687]

When I watch the video on your back story your life story and realize that you were a correction officer . That tells me you're absolute excellent judge of character and would pick right homes for each horse..❤❤❤

[@Groundedsquirrel]

Somehow I missed this part of her resume! I guess it’s time to rewatch it ;)

[@aleasha.k.b]

I know she's said multiple times in the past that she worked for the federal government. She never mentioned exactly what that job was, atleast to my recollection.

[@johnretherford-m4x]

Babies having fun made my day your husband is so sweet you can tell he enjoys them too 😊😊

[@denisedavis6596]

Someone will be VERY lucky to have Arlo join their family. Ezzy is so cute!! I like how she left her food just to get all the loving!! I love her beard!! Ariel is SO PRETTY!! I had a blue roan for awhile. Exercise balls scare me too. Haha They were so cute investigating it. My favorite time is watching the run!! It’s magical watching horses running. I can’t wait for you and Ezzy to ride on the beach!!!! All the boys are AMAZING!!! Mushu is such a puppy!!! He reminds me of my German Shepherd, who is all puppy even though he’s almost three he has no idea how big he is(110 pounds) Your program is amazing, I think you’re so brave and strong for moving these beautiful souls into their new lives. Zazu’s coloring is gorgeous!! He’s all the stuff!! I have a soft spot for seniors! Sweet Bagheera!! Belle is so beautiful!! She’s where she needs to be. Hi Penelope!!! That wiggle tail!! So cute!!

[@meemawpdx2986]

Ariel really turned on the afterburners! How fun

[@LolaNelson-i1v]

The babies were so happy today😄! If they were that interested the ball in that short of time, they will figure it out in no time at all! Your horses are kind of like your kids. Everything you teach them prepares them for their next step in life. When shift them to their next step, they won’t be afraid of their humans, will be able to blend into a new herd, and they’ll have amazing manners with other animals and people as well! If you don’t feel sad to let them go, then the bonding experience isn’t complete, if you are bonded then the horse can guide their new family into the same kind of bond 🫶🏻❣️

[@RattiesRock09]

Ariels little bunnny hop looking canter is so freaking adorable!!! ❤

[@cherylbullen6966]

Sending healing love and protection ❤️🙌☀️

[@1_viewer]

I don’t question your purpose and decisions regarding it. There are awesome people out there to move horses on to. Thank you for being a hardworking horse person!

[@c.l.sherman211]

I bought a big pink one for my APHA filly 'Angel' and she cuddles it against her front legs, and has learned to shove it with her front leg (on command) for a hay pellet. I also rub it on her, bounce it gently against her sides, and balance it on her back, letting if fall off on it's own. She stands at a WHOA during that without her halter, knowing she will get a pellet. I also put it in her big water trough for her to play with when I'm not around. So fun!

[@luannmansfield3248]

Watching replay. The foals adorable! They are very fast and fun!! 🐴🐴

[@lisazahalka3372]

I don’t think that many are intentionally criticizing your choice to move horses along. We just get emotionally invested . We know all their names, personalities, etc. You are taking us with you on this journey. We can’t help but to be sad when they leave. Don’t take it personally.

[@ReformedTryHard]

Ariel really HAS come out of her shell. And she moves well, too. They’re like Ginger and Mary Anne out there; both gorgeous but in different ways.

[@janetwinslow5208]

[@ivetrod226]

The bond between Ariel & Ezzy is so beautiful to see. Thanks for sharing all the updates

[@Cameron5043]

Your mission of moving horses a long is a beautiful one! Every single one of them is worthy of that forever home, even if it does mean that we miss them because we get so attached to them through your videos! Although there's probably going to be a riot in the comment section the day Mushu moves to his forever home, he's become such a favorite! 😂 Maybe Mushu's future forever home could agree to send update videos! Or start Mushu's own channel, he certainly has the personality for it, the big goof! Howver,im pretty sure we'll have Mushu in our lives for awhile yet! You have so much more to teach and share with him! Love to all the horses, and to you both as well!

[@jacksg1809]

I get U Shae it's a business and a "move on" and "save" others .

[@BeeJae78]

I love that you educate the horses and move them along to their perfect person. Don’t feel pressured by us viewers what you are doing is vital. You know a horse down to their core and work out all their kinks and that makes for a successful relationship when they move on.

[@cathykane1320]

[@tammydialgray2835]

You absolutely are living your purpose and I am grateful that you are sharing it with us. Love requires hard work and hard choices. I can see the transformations from when a horse starts out with you and when they are ready to be someone’s primary horse. Also, it’s natural for people to ask questions and challenge what’s happening because it’s part of their own grief process. It might even be transference from loss they have not fully dealt with. I know that doesn’t make it easier for you. Thank you again. ❤

[@freespiritequestrian]

That makes sense ❤️ thank you.

[@Ptopp723]

Thank you Shea for this time with the kiddos. They are so precious

[@audreygregis8721]

Shae, when you see comments that can't believe you move horses along....YOU are doing the best for all these horses by giving them the training you put on them. That is sooo hard to find....trainers who develop a relationship, not just train them, so they learn to love people. When people find those horses with great personalities, they keep them forever. You help horses find forever homes. The horse world needs more trainers like you.💕

[@watercolorblue300]

[@stellatv6632]

[@neelamwadhwani505]

I am so impressed by your care and concern for your horses.

[@MsWarriordiva]

I totally understand what you do & applaud you for it!!! And as a person who's foatered dogs, it's so much better that YOU pick where they go vs them ending up in the wrong place!! I had a horse at one time that was more like Begheera....she was Morgan/Quarter horse. My first horse & a love. My next was all Quarterhorse.

[@charlotteh7766]

All children grow up educated, skilled and ready to move on! Even though they have a solid bond with their parents they need to explore and develop, using all the wisdom from their upbringing! This is, as I see it, what Shae is doing too, just with horses! Teach them how to have the best life on 'their own'! She is truly a devoted and loving person doing a huge effort to give these horses a rich and great life! If not everyone's you're definitely my Mother Theresa for each horse you come around! 🇺🇲🫶🇩🇰
