TEACHING MY HORSE HOW TO GROUND DRIVE

Hey Horse Lovers! In today's video we will be doing some Horse Training. MUSHU my beautiful Gypsy Vanner will be introduced to ground driving for the first time today. Mushu is a registered, imported Gypsy Vanner from England. He is Hermit Cob (bloodlines) and comes from a fantastic place overseas. He is 3 coming 4 years old, 14hh, and he has not yet been started under saddle. I will be showing you how I go about introducing him to the driving lines and ground driving process. I will also give you some tips, tricks, and ideas when it comes to working with young horses and preparing them for their first ride. It will be interesting to see how Mushu reacts to ground driving and how he does during this training session. After this we will work towards our first actual ride under saddle!

[@BrendaHaltom-cs6ck]

[@MercedesVollmar]

I AM SO EXCITED FOR THE FOAL❤❤🎉🎉

[@milaaxgoldiee]

SAAAMMEEEE ❤️❤️

[@rodandjudibowen5665]

Shae, Mushu ROCKS! He has turned a corner from colt-cute to teen-handsome! His proportions are adorable (don't tell him I said that). And his 'stash cracks me up every time! What a Mr. Sweetie! Oh, Ryan -- I wear crocks every day. They're so comfortable and forgiving, aren't they?! Koa and Penelope are lookin' good, too! Hugs & Wahoos 🥰

[@JDMSakura]

I love all of your horses, but Mushu is just special❤

[@freespiritequestrian]

He truly is!

[@joannecava2418]

He is totally adorable

[@joanborn8835]

Love Mushu❤ and Belle!!!❤

[@alisontabernor6332]

He's adorable and so good. I loved when he ran over to you at the end. 😊

[@AL-lz1hb]

He is such a sweet boy. His attitude is perfect; Unspoilt except for kisses and treats obviously! You are doing a great job keeping it fun for him. I think he will enjoy being ridden too because of how close he will feel to you, and of course he's seen all the big boys being ridden so it's something to aspire to maybe? Lots to learn for him though.

[@TheShift_OfEnergy]

Oh his sweet eyes and his sweet mustache, he is so unique , big personality

[@kassiecollects]

Gosh I am obsessed with this cutie. He truly wants to do his best all the time and is so willing 🥺 Him coming to you was the cutest thing ever 😭❤

[@lauren1779]

I just love him so much! You can tell he is truly listening and trying and thinking his best!

[@bernadettepierce8020]

He is so cute and so smart ❤

[@TheFeather1970]

Oh Mooshie did so well! I love him! ❤

[@mechrissybradley9569]

Mushu is a cool 🐎. And you do great video shae.❤❤

[@juliecoggins1170]

Can you have more then one heart horse? He has the best personality! I truly love him from afar❤

[@freespiritequestrian]

I’m wondering! Lol

[@danscott5602]

He's SOOO Adorable!!! 💯🥰

[@Lillith1203]

Of all the horses, Mushu is my favorite. I have always preferred short stocky horses. My Quarter horse was 14 h stocky filly. My Polish Arab was 14 h but a lighter build. I miss them both.

[@allieville9864]

Mushu's stash is so precious 😂

[@lizzieb6311]

Omg! I know! It is MAJOR! 😂😂😂♥♥♥

[@cynthianauman1358]

He is a natural driving is a breeze with him also he as well as riding him will pull that cart you bought for buzz as well great

[@christinafragis7224]

What a great video - I wish more people would put in the effort to train their horses the way you do. Great horsemanship, can't wait for your first ride!

[@annehoy9224]

You can see Mooshoe absolutely adores human company,what a delightful temperament he has ,with your training he is going to be a wonderful ride and drive pony ,your so lucky to have found him Shea WELL DONE. Xxxxxxx👌👍💯💖💕💓🐴

[@freespiritequestrian]

I’m so happy I found him!

[@tammyvuxta1236]

Such a good boy! I love watching you with your horses! It really shows that you love your horses!

[@lindadipasquale-lk2sl]

Omg Shae I Love Mushy so much!! He just loves you so much!!! I think if you asked him to stand on his head he would!!! He is very dedicated to you!!! He is a dream horse for sure!! He is doing a great job cause he has a great and patient trainer!!!🐴💕😍

[@freespiritequestrian]

He’s such a gem!!! Thanks!

[@virtualselfie6899]

❤Shae on ground driving Mr. Mushu: "I'm not the kind of girl who just hops on and wishes for the best!" I needed a good laugh today. Yay! Shae! You have so many talents and comedic relief is your forte. Hahahaha! 🤣🤣

[@piggylover4808]

What a lovebug - he's a joy to watch!!!

[@zoe.equestrian]

he is so beautiful! you are so lucky to have him.

[@TrishCanyon8]

Horses are such great learners. They amaze me with what good students they are capable of being. And you are a wonderful teacher.

[@genieking6191]

Hes such a good boy and wants to learn!

[@Marlad1]

Thank you for sharing your horses with us, I always look forward to your posts. They make me smile every time! ❤️

[@sophiedykes5427]

Wow mushu has come so far you are a great trainer shae and you will always be. And mushu will find an amazing home when he is ready with your help ❤❤❤😊

[@karendelacruz8615]

Ok keep us posted were jyst as excited. ❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤

[@bjharrison4460]

I've never in my life seen a horse with a mustache. Must be a breed characteristic.

[@kathywatson7822]

I think Buzz could show Mishu a thing or two. I watched buzz pull the cart and what a pro! I wonder if it would work? Mishu seems very smart. You can really see how much your horses love you.

[@freespiritequestrian]

Mushu has never done anything like this before. Horses do learn from visuals. But not in that way haha

[@kathrynsinclare8459]

It is such a joy watching and listening to you train your horses. Thank you so much for truly engaging with your animals, seeing them as individuals, being patient and kind with them, watching and listening to them. Our animals talk non-verbally as well as making sounds to let you know of their needs.

[@clairerunolfson3355]

Love Mushu! ❤

[@rottiegirl0077]

Mushu is so affectionate. Is he the most affectionate one you ever had? Maybe he was a dog in a past life. Mushu is a superstar.🌟

[@freespiritequestrian]

He is!!!! Such a ham!

[@HilloftheTrees]

I always miss the best videos. Greetings from St. Louis, MO for the next few days

[@HilloftheTrees]

Also I love the pitter patter of Penelope running its like ASMR

[@mim2fire]

Mushu is the one of the cutest horses I’ve ever seen!❤🥹🐴

[@meredithmiller9641]

Great job. All ur ground work prep made this a very successful experience for mooshoo. Way to go.

[@freespiritequestrian]

Thanks!!

[@raisingplenty]

You are an amazing trainer!

[@letabug12]

Love your dedication to routinely grooming your horses, and I just love that you shaved off Moo-shoo's heavy coat. Can you tell us why you prefer Piranha fly spray? I'm sure I speak for many of us about the frustrations of finding the "best" fly spray that really works. Would LOVE your input! Thanks!

[@freespiritequestrian]

Because it works lol

[@suzanne9622]

Nice job with my favorite horse!!!

[@lilithbozanljunggren]

I'm dying shay you guys looks so cute togheter and your both doing a fenomenal work! Waw you can tell that he really loves you and the other horses to😍🥰☺💖

Buzz did real good. Go mushu

[@jenifereddings6190]

His mustache makes me laugh out loud!😂❤😂

[@rachealsmith5138]

😂😂Mushu was giving you the side eye when you said that about being pregnant!!! I do love me some Mushu!! I would so love to be around a horse again… I was never able to ride a bunch or anything, I would just love to have a good petting and conversation with one!!! There just isn’t anything around here. I really enjoyed this video and it is so great that you will soon be riding your Mushi!!❤❤

Aww so exited for belles foal so happy for u

[@virtualselfie6899]

🤣 Hey, Kyle, what a croc! Shae just said you're "wild here." Second that emotion! They're just the right kind of shoes for a horse farm. There's a first time for everything, and you are the most original in your croc wear, hanging out with Mr. Mushu. Y'all are hilarious!😘

[@freespiritequestrian]

Kyle makes me laugh, I love him! Lol

[@virtualselfie6899]

@@freespiritequestrian Yep, match made in heaven soon to be joined by a new family member who will have a free spirit just like mama and papa. Mushu really adores you, Shae! Horses are simply amazing creatures of the universe as they connect to the auras of their humans. Those crocs, what can I say, my 10-year-old was crocing in his sister's crocs at the pool, because if you don't wear crocs, you're not cool around here. Lol! so much beauty around and about.

[@sarahsimon9761]

I love his mustache!

[@emilyhope7468]

I am so in love with Mushu. He is such a sweetheart. I can't wait to see you ride him. This is one of your best videos Shae. I loved it when Mushu ran to you. It was like he said "oh my mom's calling, I better go" and Penelope pig running to the barn always makes me smile. You have the absolute best videos!

[@candicerunyon2762]

BRAVO!! How heartwarming seeing him run to you at the block! What a great promotional showing your training skills. But the fact that he loves to hang out with you too is pretty darn cool too! He clearly has the build and strength to pull which he was bred for, such a darling.

[@annpriddy3870]

When I was watching the video about Bud Lightyear, getting his little cart, I was thinking Mushu needs to have his own gypsy wagon.❤

[@GPwithme]

Omg he loves you so much. When you made him back up and halt one time and then praised him he looked back at you like “ai done goods Ma!” ❤ What an amazing bond! And such an incredible job introducing him to all of this in a way that is zero stress. I love it.

[@Sameq6798]

I’m so early!!! And I love his mustache ❤

[@mariacperez-fondon543]

He looks so content and happy around you. For sure he loves it at your farm. Who wouldn't???...❤️

[@PROUDSWIFTIE_13]

Your bond is so beautiful with him, great training!

[@CarlyEquestrian14]

It will be so cool to see Mushu be ridden and possibly Pull a Cart one day.

[@terripackard9292]

Mushu is rapidly becoming my favorite among your horses.

❣💯 Mr. Mushu thinks you are his mama. Lovely bonding! Hope the Canadian fires aren't rolling the smoke over your horse farm. The news out here on several channels is pretty scary. You said one someone gifted you an air filtration unit. Is it in the barn?
