🥹🥲 Oh …. You did the right thing. Yes, worth it… but I’ve always wondered about the worth, the person who has unlimited money and it’s no issue. Of course the worth in training and care… but… 🤷🏻‍♀️ I just hope he’s given the care he absolutely deserves for the rest of his life…. 🫶🏼🙏🏼🥰

[@peacefulhollow]

Normally I would say you did the right thing dropping out at that price. But since you knew the seller was reputable, the risk in this case was less. I think he was worth the risk. Can you meet up with the buyer and look to buy him privately?. Buyer might be willing to sell him right away to make some money off of him. He's worth more than what he sold for.

[@timeless712]

I completely agree with the decision of backing out. He is a gorgeous horse, but he is also a young-ish auction. You didn’t need to buy, your in a good place in terms of horses and space right now, if you really felt you need more for the lessons or trails then maybe you’d have bought him, but based on your current situation 20k on one horse without a vet check just wouldn’t have been the smartest decision. At least for that money he should be going to a good home and you still have space for another horse. There will always be more out there and the right one will come along, hopefully at a cheaper price.

[@LegendHold1]

He was certainly a very nice horse, but IMHO not worth $20K. I think he was probably one of the soundest horses there at the auction and I think that is what caught everyone's eye there. I don't think I would go this high without a complete vet check for soundness. I do hope he went to a nice home and it's sad when you had your heart sort of set on him...but the head says....nope it's not worth it. I'm sure you will find a gem like Beauty or Belle for a lot less.

Fantastic! Years ago we used to go to the Ocala horse auction and have bought two horses there in the past but it was a long time ago. If I were to go again I would definitely have a much better plan of action thanks to these videos! The horses we got turned out fine but we definitely didn't go about it in the best way.

Kyle is with you like my husband is with me, he keeps you grounded. My problem is not spending money on horses, but i get all these crazy, hairbrained ideas about what we can do with the house, or how I can extend my garden. "We can do this or we can do that!" He just looks at me and says "No we can't". He's usually right, because I do get carried away, the ideas I have are awesome and could be done with little money.........but by much younger people who have the energy and know how to do it. 😊

[@dollycaldwell4938]

[@adventuretrailsdogcamp2605]

You stuck to your mission, and that took strength to deny yourself that choice. Good for you.

The more successful your business is I think the harder it will be to pass on the expensive ones but I love so much how you take ones that need help and have potential. You also deserve the fancy ones too! So I think don’t feel bad about whatever decision you make. It’s fun to watch either way.

[@freespiritequestrian]

Your comment is super logical and kind. Thank you for being supportive 😀

[@girlinvt]

Grays run to cancer, so 4 already could be a handful. I do love a gray horse they are stunning, loved the gray draft he was gorgeous.

[@annbolynn7797]

Shae, the horse you loved is from one of the best programs you will find for horses. Buckeye Acre Farms in Millersberg have consistent winners in their stables, and I have been watching their horses for years. I am waiting for my opportunity to find one of his horses I can afford. If that horse sold for 20,000 dollars, it was low. I have seen his horses go for 50 to 250 as an average. They sell at the big sales around the country. There is no trainer that will put a better finish on any horse than the Yoder program. No horse can guarantee to be foolproof but those Yoder trained horses are s close as it gets. They are handled by all the kids in the family, as well as the most comprehensive training, for all situations, you can imagine. Go look at the YTs of any horse in their program, it will show you how they are all trained. I am so sorry you did not wind up with that horse.

[@JeannetteShoreland]

Your comment prompted me to visit the Buckeye Acre Farm's website and I noticed parallels in their and Shea's respective missions. Both seek and buy horses that have the potential to be excellent performers and after the completion of training their value will have increased and they will be upsold: Leo is an example. Essie, Mushu, and Ariel all have the potential to be stellar performers. When and if Shea decides to sell them, prospective buyers need only look at their care and training as documented on YT.

[@richardlloyd9976]

I loved Leo and then he took the bridle off, he had me . What a beautiful horse.

[@BabyScatha]

I found myself going "do it do it" but I agree with you that I think it would absolutely not have stopped at another bid from you. It would have kept going when the bid was already so high. It's a pity, but yeah that is a ton of money. I hope he goes to a great place!

[@michellefrank8116]

I can see finding a good horse at auction isn't easy. Making sound business decisions are made even more difficult when there is a horse that speaks to you. Good luck finding you next project.

[@sheenagh2012]

Leo is gorgeous but $20.000 + is a lot of money. I really like the horse sale videos because it gives me a chance to see some beautiful horses. 🤗🤗🤗

[@nancysouder5111]

I agree ! It gives me a chance to see horses that I might never see otherwise. It also lets me do some "virtual buying", building my own phantom herd. Kinda like they do with the football teams. It's actually kind of fun since I don't have a budget to stick to or anything like that. So, if I want the the horse, I just add it to my stable! With my unlimited spending money I always win the bid. 😊😊😊❤❤❤ What can I say, it helps the time go by.

And you're strong enough to make the hard decisions when I'm guessing every fiber in your horse-loving being wanted to take him home. He was beautiful. What a difference between the horse you considered but were concerned about the way he moved (and your vet agreed) and Leo's movement. Night and day difference. Thanks to your teaching on this channel, even I who have never owned a horse but have been besotted with them since I was 13 (I'm 63) could readily see the difference.

Love your “hidden” Mickey earrings! ❤

Oh my gosh! Here’s some words that come to mind: absorbing, riveting, gut-wrenching. It’s so fun when you take us on these adventures and you do such a great job of narrating. We found Leo with you, we wrangled with the decision, we wondered what Kyle would say, we were bidding with you, and shit we decided not to blow the bank even though Leo was so cool. 😂😂😳😳😢😢🥰 I’m exhausted. 🤎

Oh my gosh! That is the most handsome Draft I have ever seen if the price was a little lower I would totally do it!❤

Hi great video again. Loved the horse you were bidding on was on the edge of my seat but in the end I was glad you didn't buy and kyle was there to help keep things real. Lol. Can't wait for next videos. Xx

He is worth the $. But you kept your priorities in check, good decision !

[@karlaromero3292]

Hello! Leo was so handsome and everything about him seemed pretty perfect. Common sense has to play a part in the decisions we have to make sometimes! I get excited like you about a horse. The horse you were meant to have will come along and he or she will be a great addition to your herd. 😊❤

❤🎉 I paused the video. Leo is the best horse there and one of the prettiest I've ever seen. I'd guess he could go $30,000 no problem... 🐎❤️

Maybe Beauty's connections brought some over for the later auctions? They seemed very reputable.

I love how you educate us so we can see what to look for

I watch @The Clever Cowgirl who is in Montana and she attends auctions, but generally buys the loose horses that might need some TLC to get them back to being their best before moving them on to their new lives. She has quite the saddle collection too. Anyway its really interesting seeing different styles of sales that people attend and what they look for in the horses.
