[@freespiritequestrian]

Hey Horse Lovers! Who’s ready for some YEARLING Training?! Let’s see how Ezzy & Ariel do today. -Shae 💖🐴⭐️ Apparel, Lipstick, Bitless Bridles: thespiritedhorseboutique.com/

[@donnabaran3722]

You are my favorite KZbin Channel ever❤🐴💕🤠

[@linekjonerud7396]

It's so amazing to see you and your horses when you're teaching them to phony and how they are willing to learn new things I am so glad I learned about your shanall before bell.... 😮

[@linekjonerud7396]

And I remember how much I am soooo in love with the horses 😊

[@patriciayates6429]

Your calm loving style has so much to do with their success at whatever you ask of them watching is such a pleasure

[@Abigaillovesponys]

I acc love your video ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@imalikconnor]

You really struck GOLD when you bought Beauty. She is an amazing girl.

[@freespiritequestrian]

I love her so much!

[@deborahpaley21]

she really is a great horse

[@carolinechew2432]

❤

[@carolinechew2432]

@@freespiritequestrian❤ I’m happy for Both of you. 😊

[@kathrynrady8028]

I can’t imagine why ANYONE wanted to sell her but FSE totally benefitted!

[@snowpuppies1]

The babies are doing so well, but honestly…Beauty is an absolute ROCK. Shae….you are so lucky to have found her. I mean, all of your horses are special, but Beauty? Is a real GEM.

[@freespiritequestrian]

Yes she truly is!

[@angelpony1657]

Couldn’t Agree More!!! 😇

[@kristiwetsel9531]

She really is for her age and disposition she's incredible

[@juliepoitinger5030]

The foals did wonderful for the first time ponying. And Beauty… at only 4 years old, you can trust her to help train the foals, lead on trail rides, be ridden and shown by your students, and do just about anything you ask of her. She also keeps the foals company and she protected them like she’s their mother when the geldings were let in with them. Beauty acts much more mature than her actual age. You hit the jackpot with her! ❤️🐴💜

[@glory2cybertron]

Yeah it's also pretty cool how Beauty went and adopted the foals 😂. In the wild only close relatives do that.

[@AlisonDonkin]

Never let that horse go....❤

[@moodybikerchic]

I so enjoy watching ALL of your videos! The foals are doing wonderfully and Beauty is a rockstar! I love your videos because you are definitely a super awesome trainer. I worked with Standardbreds racing circuits in the midwest and New York, and Canada for 15 years. I am 75 and retired from the racing business. My last horse I had was a 2 time world champion racing at the Meadowlands in New Jersey. He was a 6 years old stallion named What’s Next. He was sold to Breeding farm in Australia. He sired a few good horses. The farm always kept me informed of his progress and would send me pictures of him running around in the field. When he passed away at 20 years old, they told me about it and sent me a picture of where they buried him.

[@angelpony1657]

Totally Agree!!! 😇

[@angelpony1657]

That IS Awesome... What a Career you must’ve had!!! God has sure Blessed you!!! 😇

[@GuiltyPleasures2]

My goodness has Ariel blossomed!! She’s gorgeous!

[@carolinechew2432]

Trust is such a Powerful thing. Seeing Ariel get Cheeky is a beautiful thing.

[@lpruitt4163]

The size of the girls is amazing. Ezzy is almost as big as Beauty, she is growing up so fast.

[@Indi_eq]

I think she is gonna be a Clyde!

[@Indi_eq]

Part Clyde

[@camillasaietz4856]

Every time I see you with Ezzy, I think of you crying tears of joy at the sight of the newborn foal next to Belle ❤

[@TheLindagdetroit]

I bawl every time I watch the first sight of Ezzy❤

[@moniljs]

Same! Happy, joyous tears!

[@angelpony1657]

Same here...And it’s Very Touching every time... 😇

[@AnimalLoving-24]

Omg that was a vid to never firgey. I still watch it sometimes now and i stikl get the exact same emotions and tears as the 1st time. The most magical moment

[@katelyndglass]

The babies are doing so amazing but omg can we talk about 4 year old beauty? Just handling it all like a pro!? She’s so special

[@angelpony1657]

She is like a dream!!! 😇

[@annwallace8829]

Beauty is the absolute best! Whoever sold her lost out. What a jewel! So glad she became yours. She deserves the best and that’s what you give.

[@vernaedwards7263]

Amen to that

[@vernaedwards7263]

❤ I did

[@DuchessDanni]

The man who sold her was an Amish trainer, I believe, and he did a really spectacular job with Beauty. I don't think he lost out by selling her because now he can do the same with another horse. We should be thankful to have Beauty and to have had her trained by him, not that he would ever know.

[@angelpony1657]

Still... Maybe we should be thankful for him and his obviously great work with horses, too!!! 😇

[@pnhnut]

Beauty is irreplaceable! I would never move her on, she is a unicorn ❤

[@angelpony1657]

⚪️ 👍🏻

[@jannywanny2201]

Right? I hope Shea keeps her! I was devastated when she sold Jafar, I couldn’t handle that again. 😬

[@bobbicrum7500]

Ariel being a little rascal is so cute. Especially knowing how reserved she was when she first got to the farm. The girls did so wonderful!

[@sherylmarsh5533]

These two foals did very well for first day out in training.. but.. Beauty is phenomenal.. a steadying and calming influence which helps..❤

[@ronsamborski6230]

Jokingly I thought, is this really the first time the foals have been ponying? They both did so well!

[@irisj6088]

Beauty is really outstanding for a four-year-old horse. I believe that the yearlings, in Shea's hands, will also show like this at this age. It is so nice to be part of this development of the horses ❤️🐴❤️🐎❤️

[@angelpony1657]

No doubt about it!!! 😇

[@DebraLoft-q1i]

What makes this easy is your horses trust u 100%. They know u as their leader and the trust comes with that. You are quiet and calm and u always tell them how well they have done.

[@angelpony1657]

There’s A LOT Of GOOD That Can Be Said For POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT!!! 😇

[@katherinedrake355]

Ariel is smart. I loved it when she spontaneously jumped a cross rail last winter. She shows such promise ❤

[@louisethurlow3948]

I love watching your videos, brings me back to my horsey days. I grew up around horses & had a pony but my first horse was a yearling Morgan colt(Gem). When I went to buy him I found out that he & I shared a birthday! A few years later my cousin bred her Arab mare & I got the foal as payment for boarding & caring for her mare. She had a little colt(Thief), it was amazing watching him absorb everything. He ended up being the steadiest horse I had ever known. From his first time under saddle he acted like an old veteran. Enjoy it all!! Times just flies by, I miss those days! Thank you for letting me relive those days through your videos. Be Well!

[@freespiritequestrian]

That’s an awesome story!

[@estherherranen6123]

Cool!!❤

[@angelpony1657]

I Wholeheartedly Second That!!! Silly as it may sound, I miss all the horse hugs, lol... Make Every Minute Last, Shea!!! 😇

[@cheryaljones9467]

I love Ariel's eyes. The white around her eyes is a great highlighter. 🥰🙏🤩

[@jenniferbolton9106]

Yeah I was gonna say Ariel is turning into a beautiful horse for sure

[@lisal4824]

Every time there is a close up of her eyes I think they are stunning.

[@SHENworks]

Me too. I think that's the Brabant in her. Ariel does have a lovely eye

[@gailholt5856]

Both fillies look good in purple. They are both beautiful and Beauty is ROCK SOLID, STEADY. Perfect for any activity

[@hw-art]

Those are two seriously beautiful yearlings! Wow! Just... wow! And Beauty was perfect, so calm and so living up to her name!

[@clare4083]

It’s hard to believe that beauty is only 4yo. The babies did so well. Ezzy going over the trot poles like that was something else 🤩

[@artisallthat]

Both girls are solid packed. This is the most rambunctious that I have seen of Ariel. She certainly has a thing for poles and jumping. I know that eventually that Ezzie will go gray but the champagne tan left over from her being a buckskin is pretty.

[@angelpony1657]

Love her blaze 😇

[@mels7735]

At just 4 it’s so hard to believe that Beauty is such a matriarch to the girls!! She’s worth her weigh in gold 💜💜

[@jessbordeaux9845]

Gosh Ariel is a stunner as well. Both fillies are turning into beautiful horses. ❤❤

[@markstone2036]

I love how you are so safety conscious, conservative yet you give out so much love and a smidgen of silliness with your "children". I am always amazed Shae.

[@angelpony1657]

I enjoy Shea and Kyle’s sense of humor-they can both be So Funny in their own ways, lol!!! ⚪️ 😄

[@mango8918]

Love the teal bridals. Shae, you are such a good horse mama. They may not know it but your slow, systematic approach to training them will give them the foundation for a happy, rewarding life.

[@Joy_AB]

The babies did so well 💞You must be absolutely stoked to have purchased the most perfect horse ever. Beauty was worth every penny. What an amazing horse.

[@jennymcgraw855]

Essie is going to be an awesome horse because she is 100% YOU!

[@freespiritequestrian]

That scares me hahahaha

[@moniljs]

Arielle keeps changing…..such a stunner! And Ezzy of course, just like mama, gorgeous 😍

[@k.h.7575]

My favorite part was when the yearlings got playful - especially Ariel, as I haven't seen this much from her before ❤ cute. Childhood is just special for all species.

[@Thatequinegirl14]

When Ezzy went over the poles in a trot it literally brought me to tears. I can’t believe how much this amazing filly has grown! She is going to be such an amazing horse (not saying she isn’t already.)❤❤❤

[@carolinechew2432]

Ariel’s Color is Super-Cool. Truly unique.

[@MsWarriordiva]

Like everyone else has said, the foals did GREAT for their first time, but the star goes to Beauty. What an amazing temperament she has!!!! She is a true gem!!!!! ❤❤❤

[@angelpony1657]

Agree!!! 😇

[@roanyponyfarm]

Ezzie is HUGE!! And such a smart girl!

[@TheBuckeq]

❤ yeah true ❤

[@RockandRollsince1992]

The yearlings are changing so quickly, wow, I always have to look twice to recognize them 😅 to add, I just love how you're teaching your horses so many different things in such a patient manner. I think that's so important for them.

[@yellowbird30]

Ariel looks so good in that aqua halter and lead!

[@freespiritequestrian]

I like it!

[@leighscott1877]

The young ones do so well because they trust and love you. They feel so safe. Good job!!

[@angelpony1657]

Agree 😇

[@wendypistorius7500]

Shae you are one in a million ! Your kindness, your patience & your heart for horses continually makes my heart sing. There simply are no words to express what an amazing and beautiful soul you are. Just watching you in action makes my day over & over again. No one compares with you ❤🐎❤🐎❤🐎❤🐎

[@estherherranen6123]

💯 % ❤

[@marianstroup1]

Ezzy trusts you with her LIFE. I think she'd do anything for you Shae

[@angelpony1657]

“If you give a horse Your Heart- They’ll give you Their Life”. 😇 🙏🏻

[@georgiaanderson4483]

All of the girls did great ❤❤❤❤

[@marilynnew2189]

Ariel is growing into her beauty. She is so graceful, and her eyes are drop-dead gorgeous.

[@thayet]

Following the foals development really makes me look forward to the future, I hope you'll continue taking us along on your journey

[@sueflynn9886]

Beauty really lives up to her name, she is amazing! Ariel has come on so very well, I remember that timid little soul who arrived at your stables, such a poor start in life but absolutely won life’s lottery getting to live with you all! ❤️🥰

[@__k.hunt__]

I dont know why, but Im OBSESSED with Ezzy’s and Ariel’s tails 😍😍

[@freespiritequestrian]

Me too! They are getting so long

[@nancysouder5111]

❤maybe because they are so beautiful? I love long manes and tails on horses! I think that's part of why I love the vanners so much. That and the fact they are paints.

[@angelpony1657]

That’s Why I Love Pegasus SO Much... And Morabs, lol!!! 😇

[@M28287]

I love how Beauty is so patient and like you said so calm. You really got a lucky one❤

[@angelhall4428]

I just love how gentle and thorough you are whenever you're training. You teach them so many skills and do it at a pace that they are comfortable with. You truly are amazing and I wish everyone treated their horses this well ❤️

[@angelpony1657]

Ditto!!! 😇

[@AL-lz1hb]

So proud of Beauty. What a good solid horse to pony from and in her super comfy bitless bridle. Lovely to see the foals having fun with their friend Beauty being big girls having to figure out the new game. Very happy to follow. Not so easy to baby them leading from another horse. I think you all did awesome. It's not easy wrangling the rope, esp with inexperienced horses switching sides. First step towards the fillies hitting those trails and really having some fun. Ponying is a great skill for all horses and riders to learn but something many forget about.🐎

[@angelpony1657]

Leading-whether on ground or from horseback, etc...IS an absolute and necessary Must for Any horse to learn... Shea is doing An Excellent job at it, with her two fillies!!! 😇

[@maryvallas772]

They both did so great! How lucky they are going to be to get such great exposure as yearlings! They'll be just as awesome as Beauty is by the time they are 4! Because seriously... Beauty is 1 in a million! ❤❤❤

[@kimberlylee1329]

Ariel and Ezzy were terrific!! They are both getting big and beautiful! Beauty is a sweet gorgeous gem! You are a wonderful trainer and I really enjoy watching your channel!!

[@ShainCaldwell]

Beauty is so stoic standing quietly and doing EXACTLY what you need her to do.

[@jeanhowarth1852]

She kissed you back. 😢 so cool

[@lindaz1290]

I'm sitting here with my Ezzy/Ariel purple t-shirt, watching and loving every minute. Both babies did a great job! Beauty would be my heart horse if she were mine, I think. How could anything about this training exercise have gone wrong when you set all 3 of these beautiful girls up for success? This is why I watch this channel - it's such a positive, caring way to live with horses. Maybe in my next life, I'll get to do that - but for now, I'll continue watching and wait for my Whoa Watermelon to come in the mail!

[@estherherranen6123]

YAY!! It's my favorite, you will love it 😀.

[@vaw796]

They both did great and the way you build the trust with them shows how it works. Ezzy really listened and Ariel took it in her stride. Both are dazzling gems. Beauty just keeps surpassing how impressive she is for a 4yo and that girl LOVES the yearlings.❤❤❤

[@rebeccaweil1]

You are such a sweet mummy to the yearlings

[@BabyScatha]

What a unique horse you got in Beauty. To think she's just 4 is wild with how chill she takes pretty much everything. Ezzy over the poles were so great! What a mover! It's going to be so much fun watching you teach the yearlings as they grow into young adults!

[@angelpony1657]

Makes me look forward to their journey ahead, know it??? ⚪️ 😃

[@moccasinlanding]

Beauty is such a laid back mare.....perfect paired with the two colts to teach them their manners. And Esmerelda? Oh my, the perfect baby and I hope I am able to watch her reach her full potential in the next three years. I turned 87 this week, so three years may be stretching it!!!! 😊 Something to look forward to anyway.

[@estherherranen6123]

👊👏👏🙏🙏🙏💪🫶🫂

[@348Tobico]

I can already see the Brabant butt developing on Ariel! Wow all three girls did such a fabulous job!

[@nikkernacker1]

Beauty is the IDEAL horse!!!!! You struck GOLD with her!!!! And the yearlings are going to take after her. I hope Belle will be well enough to pony with Beauty just for fun out in the field!

[@angelpony1657]

Belle is Awesome!!! 😇

[@janvas7690]

How I wish all horses were treated the way you treat your horses! Love love watching you!❤

[@ronnac.7143]

I couldn’t help but get tickled when Essie decided she was gonna do her own thing!!lol

[@angelpony1657]

Ya gotta Love a spirited yearling with improvisational skills, lol!!! ⚪️ 😉

[@robinmixon6999]

With all the foal work in place I would not be surprised if in 3 years you get on the backs of these girls and they just go ‘Oh - we got this!’ And that will be that!

[@martylaughery9138]

I absolutely love your amazing intelligence and experience and how you explain things so clearly to your viewers! This may be my favorite video so far. I have watched every video so I am familiar with your history and that of your horses, but I appreciate how you frequently explain things for newer viewers. Your love for all your animals is simply beautiful and uplifting. May God continue to bless you and Kyle. ❤️🙏🏼

[@freespiritequestrian]

Wow, thank you!

[@SheilaHensley]

Your patience with the young ones is so benefical to them as they learn new things. Very nice to watch. A real joy.

[@Hollybank5]

Beauty is great teacher - calm , patient and yet ‘ nope , stop that 😳’ !! The babies did great today !! Quick learners 👍👍❤️

[@Ryleigh-cm2oz]

First! The yearlings are gonna do amazing I bet!

[@sheenagh2012]

This was so lovely to watch, not only do the yearlings learn new things but so do I. Well done Ezzy, Ariel, and Beauty.🤗😀☺😊

[@bb-r5710]

Oh my goodness, Ezzie is almost as tall as Beauty. She is a big girl❤❤ Both Ezzie and Ariel are doing great😊

[@sheliawisner811]

One place you ask the best thing we had seen on your videos. If course a very lots of things, But Ezzy being born, a beautiful baby, and mama Bell, when you first got there to see her. Awesome.

[@smm2476]

I loved that Ezzie tried to stop in the puddle to play. So cute. Yearlings did a great job and Beauty is such a wonderful horse.

[@darcyhansen7005]

Beauty is worth her weight in gold! She is a super star! Smart babies but it’s also your training, time, and love!

[@maggieekane7845]

Ezzy was quite amazing to pony for the first time. I think Beauty leading was very helpful. Gave Ezzy some calm and confidence staying close to Beauty and listening to the commands. Good imprinting! Ariel looks great too. She seems to want to be calm, more and more. Both the fillies have smooth trots. Both fillies are calm and confident ponying behind Beauty! Both fillies were amazing!!! 👍🥰💗🐴💗🐴💗🐎💗

[@labruja325]

I am really noticing Ariel opening up and being more curious and social the last couple of months! She's come such a long way since that more shut down and reserved baby you brought home. These girls are doing amazing!

[@dawncher4510]

Shae, I just love watching your videos so much! I’m sixty, but this takes me back to my younger years riding on my grandparents small farm! I wish you were my neighbor and my friend. You have taught me so much, that I didn’t know about horses. You are kind and gentle and so knowledgeable! I live in Ohio, but wish you could teach my grand children and great nieces and great nephews! I love you and your farm! Keep up the good work! God needs people like you taking care of his animals! God bless!

[@HelenW-w3t]

Ariel and Ezzy are so big now. They are so beautiful.

[@jessbordeaux9845]

Ezzie's coloring is gorgeous! Such a beauty!!

[@janicewink4614]

I hope my memory stays intact to see the first ride with the girls.🤞

[@estherherranen6123]

💙👊🙏💪

[@rosemaryabbott1020]

Ezzy actually gave you a kiss back! That was so awesome! Did you see it? She is so precious! She is in love with you! Her heart is all yours. Especially now with Belle being gone.

[@lindag4484]

Just like a little kid! Ezzy had to stop and splash in the puddle. I love your constant, but gradual, instruction for the two yearlings and the variety of things they are exposed to. They will be very well socialized by the time saddles hit their backs. Ezzy must have inherited Belle's trot. She looked gorgeous trotting through that ground obstacle, and Ariel did a stellar job too, looking gorgeous in her buckskin and socks! And Beauty --> AMAZING!

[@tanjacook6970]

I just love the color changes on the babies. They're both stunning.🙂 I live vicariously through you and all of your four-legged babies, and that includes Penelope. 😁

[@angelpony1657]

Penelope is a Beauty in Her own right, too!!! ⚪️ 😀

[@lindabreckler777]

I can say many things about how great the horses are, how well they work on their training, etc. but, Shae it really all comes down to you! Your love and confidence are amazingly infectious. You create such an atmosphere of positivity that humans and animals are helpless to not respond in kind! Never stop, Lady!

[@angelpony1657]

I Agree 100%!!! 😇

[@JenniferPearsonJP7]

Beauty is such a treasure. I've very curious to see how big Ezzie gets. They both did such a great job ponying for the first time.

[@ECole-le7we]

Every time you feature a certain horse, I say to myself: "Oh __________, is my favorite horse! Today I realized that the truth is, I love them all! 😎😎🐴🐴💙💙

[@lindajane1670]

Ezzy has beautiful leg action and springs when trotting just like Belle & very smooth gait. But, I think Ariel did better because she had the distraction of her best buddy in the paddock. Beauty couldn’t have behaved better. Three great horses.

[@SunflowerPrincess-tm1ru]

Oh my goodness they look so grown up!! Such pretty babys❤️

[@mariacperez-fondon543]

Essy's disposition is amazing ....already she looks very elegant and moves beautifully. ❤😊

[@christinevr7698]

Holy Moly - Esmeralda is almost as tall as Beauty!

[@maggieekane7845]

I m looking forward to what is going to happen with these two happy fillies. I know we all will learn a lot today ! 👍🥰♥️🐴♥️🐴♥️🐎♥️

[@susanwynn1579]

I just can't get over how big she is(Ezzy) and so beautiful

[@ellenwalker3749]

I have a very strong feeling that Ezzy is going to be a very fine horse.

[@mollyshort2390]

Can not believe I have been watching your channel since before Esmeralda was born 1 year ago!!! Aerial has been hanging out with Esmeralda and acting like her and that is so cute. Esmeralda did so good and Aerial was being so curious about everything ❤

[@cynthiadugan858]

❤ Love seeing the stages of their training. And yet another thing that beauty does well 😂. What a star she is❤

[@c.l.sherman211]

Ground driving yearlings with a blanket and surcingle in a bit-less bridle with the long lines going thorough the surcingle rings is an excellent step towards confidence. I start in the arena. After I have led them along the road, we ground drive there also. I give them pellets for every vehicle that comes by, including motorcycles, etc. I tie grocery and garbage bags to the surcingle rings when I hand walk them, then when I ground drive them. At 2+ years, I ground drive them in alight weight English saddle using the stirrups for the long lines that are attached to the bit-less bridle. When they are confident with that, I get them used to a life-sized cloth dummy in jeans and a shirt with a cowboy hat. Then I tie it over the saddle and take them for walks with it. Then we ground drive with the same dummy in the saddle. By the time I sit on their back at 3+ years and walk around in the arena, they could care less. I feed them their morning bucket food at the mounting block so they love standing there without moving. It works real well for all horse breeds.

[@madisonsimpson6714]

Beauty is such an amazing horse. She is definitely the perfect horse for you to teach them things like this. Not only is she a good example, but she’s also very tolerant of the babies antics. 😂

[@lindamcbee2878]

What beautiful, obedient, horses. Your life is what most of us would love to have... I miss my horses everyday.

[@JonahzVoice3-4]

Just noticed how much feather Ezzie is getting! Looks good.

[@LeninSrGates]

Ariel's trot looked so elegant

[@donnastanley9969]

OMG how big has Esmerelda gotten, she is so stunning and her cute little hops over the poles they were so elegant... And as for Beauty what a great teaching assistant she is, so patient, Ariel is like, " what are you doing up there, can I eat this, , what does this taste like ?"

[@bernadettecollie167]

You won the Lottery when you got Beauty! I ❤ her! She did so well at the show with your students and ponying. I would take Areil to shows as a 2 y.o. In halter, & in hand trail. She is steady Eddie like Beauty. It’s great you have them with Beauty to pick up her character. Great job! 👏👏👏

[@sheliawisner811]

Love seeing the girls grow up and being trained to be useable horses. They are very smart. Maybe they learn from just watching you with other horses. More than you realize. Great job by all of you.

[@miriamtait8854]

In dance what you call "ponying" we call "yoking"... Beauty is so empathic with the girls that Ezzie was trotting and even over the poles IN STEP. so lovely to watch you train and reward eith love and praise. Really enjoyed this session. 👌
