The nurse mare is a good mother, very patient with Banksy and tolerant of his shenanigans. How lovely he is running with the other foal. Horses learn best from other horses. Orphaned foals never do well socially if raised by humans they need other horses to learn from. The mare and Banksy don't know any different they think they are natural dam and foal. He is a good looking colt with his beautiful white face.

[@ethankay7653]

I don’t know if it is just me but I don’t think that someone like Shelby should have to explain what she is doing we all know that Shelby always has the best interest for her horse

[@allthumbs3792]

Ethan Kay - I absolutely agree!

[@melissasmith3076]

I agree 100 percent with you Ethan... Well said

[@Not0a0City0Girl0]

Unfortunately the people that know the least are generally the ones who make the most noise. I can't imagine the shit comments that Shelby has to deal with on the daily.

[@paytonbemmes]

BANKSY AND HIS NEW BEST FRIEND ARE THE CUTEST THINGS EVER

[@clairebirkett3467]

Shelby sweetheart, you don’t need to explain yourself, everything you have done for Scarlet and Banksy has been done with their best interests at heart, and with so much love. Banksy is a beautiful foal, and I love to see how he interacts with you, he trusts you so much, he has a super temperament and he moves so well too. It’s clear to me that he is having a wonderful and enriching time growing up and experiencing life, having Apollo to play with and have fun, but most importantly helping him to become strong and flexible while they play. Just keep doing what your doing, I for one love watching your journey with him, and feel honoured that your sharing it with us. X

[@averykirkpatrick5202]

Claire Birkett Couldn’t have said it better myself. You truly have a way with words 💗

[@witchyhobbit]

No, no you did the absolute 100% best thing getting him a Nursemare. NO ONE should be judgy because you probably saved him from his birth mothers neglect. It was stressful for Scarlet. This is an ideal and extremely amazing situation he's in now. You're the best horse mama and I am so proud that you powered through and really let us know why you did what you did

[@meganganley7796]

The “and this is my mum” at the end was soooo cute. That’s probably exactly what he was thinking. I’m glad he’s doing well and has found a new perfect mom!

[@Janerane]

1:04 “Banksy And Apollo syncronized bucking” 😆

[@kristinchambers1282]

Brooklen Corona lol 😂

[@abbylol8844]

omg😂

[@muckingfentalkaren5592]

Hunnie you really don’t have to justify any actions he is a stunning baby and anyone can see you have done ur best for him and his manners are fantastic for such a little man and that’s all down to his mum and you and ur family xxxxxx

[@eqrena]

You did the right thing and you don’t need to explain anything, because you know him on a personal level that we don’t.

[@sidilicious11]

You and baby Banksy are SO cute together! He has such a good life. I love watching him. His stepmom is the best. I bet she is proud to raise such a handsome foal.

[@alexspear6554]

Anyone who is critical of the situation is obviously someone who has never bred or had experience. So don’t worry about it!

[@toscadonna]

He looks very happy and healthy, and the nurse mare looks the same and is a sweet girl to take such good care of him. He's a lovely foal with nice conformation, coloring, and temperament. He seems very affectionate, and that's good.

[@barbaracoleman6641]

I can't wait to see him grow. You know what's best for your horses. Give Banksy and his Mom a hug for me.🐎💖

[@Anp8]

Dont worry yourself. your doing amazing and you keep doing what your doing . that baby is happy. and that is what matters.

[@jeanpernarelli1225]

What an absolute joy to watch.. I had a smile on my face thou the whole thing..The colts are so lucky to have each other to play with...and they REALLY PLAY.. You have quite a precocious and stunning colt..Thank you for sharing your lovely videos...

[@ellieo.7920]

I like that you picked the local stud book, and more known book for this little man instead.

[@mirrepoix]

oh gosh he's growing so fast!! he has so much spunk, what a character - those little freckles on his muzzle are so stinking cute. it saddens me that you even need to explain this in a video, though. parasocial relationships are toxic, people get the sense that everything that's presented is all that exists, and also the sense that they can openly comment on what they're seeing. some of it comes from a good place but it's even then a burden that's unfair to bear as it forces you to adjust your life to things other people's existence and their opinions. when their opinion is nowhere near as aware of the situation as you, the person living it. you're doing your best and your best is stellar. you have an excellent system of people who know what they're doing including yourself and Banksy is doing so well because of it. as good as we are with our horses we can never communicate with them on the same level as other horses can, and it's very important that the communication is healthy and safe for him. having a loving parent is vital. his bond with her is so beautiful.

[@mochimacaroon400]

While it is sad what happened to Banksy and his biological mother, I feel like in the long run he will do better with this mare than he would have his own mother. She is so good with foals and knows what she is doing and that is perfect for a little spunky foal like himself. I also love how you aren't forcing Banksy and Scarlet to be together during inspection and rather explaining the situation and allowing the foal to be with Mikey.

[@marlengun]

Banksys childhood looks really good! He has a lot of space and a friend to play with. I've been a subscriber about a year now and Shelby has taught me so much that I didn't know about horse behaviour. Like bucking isn't always because bad. I love to watch just how exited Milo gets when he's jumping! I'm sure Banksy is going to have the best life he could get. I support Shelby 100%.

[@lucasa1849]

I love the pasture and that there’s another mom and foal there. Best place to raise a baby.

[@melissawalker3874]

So happy Banksy has a horsemum that loves him. Such a lovely place to grow up

[@amloca5111]

Them playing is like a scene out of Bambi 😭💕

[@kkdoc7864]

I am so sorry Scarlett rejected her baby. That happens sometimes. Don’t blame yourself.

[@jenniferhennek5077]

Ahhhh I can’t get over how cute Bansky and his nurse mare is together, you’re doing great with him love you! ❤️❤️

[@lyndsayringstad2945]

Girl, I love your videos and admire your horsemanship and the work you do. Do not let any ignorant people and their comments affect the sense of accomplishment you should feel. Please keep the videos coming!

[@horseyholly9111]

awwwww so sweet

[@annakazimi7937]

I’m sorry social media made an already difficult decision even more stressful and difficult. Wishing you guys the best for everything to come!

[@mickeygibson5919]

Omg I think you did what was best for everyone and look how great he doing his step mom is great think God for her you are doing what's right for your horse's and doing a great job at it he is very beautiful God bless you all and your family's and friends from Tucson Az 😊🐎

[@user-nv1tp7kh9m]

I love him, he's such a character horse. And look at those flying leed changes, he already perfected them 😂

[@rosiehill1861]

This happens in the wild and in captive animals like dogs & cats. A person isn’t responsible for a “moms” new or not behavior. You are great for sharing.

[@reginachenevey8766]

You are doing a great job. Don't worry about what folks say on SM you do what you know is right for your animals. Lots of people are not cut out to be parents and animals can be the same way. He is beautiful and healthy!!

[@servicedogcharli449]

i can't get over how cute he is!!! also people really just need to accept that even through it isn't his birth mother banksy is being cared for and that's what matters. i think people are looking at it from a too human perspective and can't wrap their head around the fact that animals can and have rejected their babies. it happen and without shelby and the other people stepping in banksy very likely would have been seriously hurt or killed by scarlet and they made the best decision they could, no one want to speatre a mother and baby but sometimes it has to happen.

[@ellenharsha6815]

So pleased that you are so happy with him! Much good fortune with him in the future

[@nancywallingford956]

Shelby, I am 62 years old, and have owned and trained horses all my life. You are doing a fine job! Ignore the haters, the horse community knows what a fine young woman you are. I already use many of your sponsors, but I will let them know that I also support you!

[@territn8871]

He is just a little doll! He's so pretty. You can tell he's going to be a wonderfully tempered boy too! Love his color. What color is his dad? You're so lucky to have horses. I always wished I could have had one. I grew up around my neighbor's horses though and we used to ride together whenever she'd saddle up both of hers. Looking forward to your next update!😊

[@justanotherwhitegirla7093]

Sire is a bay, dam is a chestnut. She has pictures of them on her community page of her YT channel.

[@Weath3rreport]

"He is feeling, very *foal* of himself."

[@PARTYH4RDY]

I think you've made the right decision with everything regarding the situation :)

[@adenalss5503]

IM A HORSE LOVER AND YOU ARE DOING GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@unrulycrow6299]

The start of this video is r/zoomies material. And while what happened with Scarlett is sad, it ca,'t be helped, it was a first foal and it was stressing for both her and Banksy. I think it was the right call to separate them, and Mickey is a great nurse!

[@eastgermanhattrick3330]

You are doing what you and the vet think is best. That’s great. All the horses are happy and healthy.

[@cookiecatlover8193]

Just keep telling your story, I love wachting you and your horses. And keep telling those "bad" stories as well, I learn so much from things like this. And hope others as well Love little Banksy ❤️

[@darkmoonlady2002]

He's getting so big!

[@rileyfanberg9395]

You should call the nurse mare his foster mom

[@jacksg1809]

Shelby u just do what u do .. ."everyone's a bloody expert "...it gets me and I'm not the one going thru this ...I'm loving seeing all this and will always be positive towards videos ...keep going x

[@nancyk3615]

You're an excellent horsewoman who makes good common sense decisions. Sometimes mares do reject their babies. I'm glad you have such a great nurse mare.I would trust any of my horses in your care. Keep up the good work and follow your dreams!

[@BorgurYT]

I love Bansky and his new mom I think they r great together and him and apollo are super cute when they play together xD Also sombody has a schleich foal & painted it to look like Bansky it looked exactly like him!

[@juliasheehy7337]

aagh! he's just too cute. you've done such a good job sorting out all the difficulties and he's clearly just like any other healthy foal! people can be so annoying with their negative opinions and their uncalled for tips and tricks in situations like this but you absolutely made the right decision to mask what was happening till it was sorted. congrats on your beautiful little colt and good luck at the inspection xx

[@drivewayturtle65]

He looks happy and healthy to me. You obviously did the right thing for him.

[@ironcowgirlbree]

Wow...how amazing!! I live in California and have 2 horses myself, but may I say what a gorgeous property for those beautiful babies!! Bless u!! 💖💝💞🌈

[@reginadragonpaw]

Looking at him now and if I had no idea he was rejected I would think mickey was his actually birth mother she’s so sweet and amazing you are so lucky to be able to find a mare like that and have it look after your foal

[@mjz8373]

Bravo for your excellent attitude! No one knows your horses the way that you do.

[@autumn8551]

I love your videos, and I will always support you! I'm sorry you have to deal with so many of those rude comments :( I hope you keep doing what you're doing, it always makes me smile 💕💕

[@donaldfolkers8475]

What a sweet baby he is! And so lucky to have found a milk mom! Thanks for sharing. I just ran across this video so he must be a yearling now.

[@jodiemirowski2980]

Don't let what other people say that's negative. You obviously have done what's best for this baby and that's what's important here!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@jenniferlehman2464]

Some studies show that keeping a colt intact, allows them to develop bone and muscling better. Having worked with brood mares and foaling out, I must say from what I've observed in 20 years, that the studies are true. They develop better. Best Regards from Ottawa, Jenn.

[@palealien7130]

precious little beans! youre doing such an amazing job with them shelby!

[@shirvonnepedro2114]

Yall have done an awesome job !!!!😍😍😍

[@282828lisa]

He is beautiful you have done a nice job with him!

[@janinecarson8380]

I keep watching this video over and over because Banksy is just so darned cute!

[@morenarider7228]

Banksy has so much personality! Thank you for posting this, it made my day!

[@annieulb]

Thank you for sharing his life with us! It’s so great to see someone who is working so hard with a foal. You are so educated and have sought educated people to help, which is the perfect thing to do with horses (ofc you know that, I’m just rambling lol)! I’m so glad that Banksy and his new momma are doing well.

[@lisatownshend7867]

I think you are amazing good horsemanship

[@kanamichelle7404]

He’s doing so well, and what a nice pasture!

[@Open2OpenUT]

He’s absolutely gorgeous and I want to wish you all the best with him in the future. Regards from Dublin, Ireland ☘️☘️☘️.

[@SirXer]

Thanks for the update! Banksy is too cute and I love seeing him have such a bubbly personality.

[@sashie1232]

Loved the bit at the end when you said, I pose for my fans and this is my mum. Banksy is stunning. I love his white face :)

[@lorineidtinytoadplot744]

That nurse mare is worth her weight in gold 💜💜💜

[@jadieeisthebest]

Well his Foster mum is doing a great job and you made the right choicd

[@DCogsdil]

I think you have done an amazing job. Finding a nurse mom for him. Mama's milk is so important to a foal. If you didn't step in she would of probably hurt or killed Banksy. So great job. Block people with mean comments. I had a dog once that was a bad mother, some animals just like humans make bad parents. Banksy is lucky to have you as his human mom. Good luck and God Bless, debs from Texas

[@samanthabaker6363]

You did an amazing job! Nurse mare is so good with him. Love hearing this story along the way.

[@cyndie723coolie6]

What a beautiful foal! Social media is horrible! I wouldn't think twice about those comments . People make rude nasty comments on social media because their lives are so boring and sad that they feel pleasure out of putting others down when they, themselves are pathetic and can hide behind their texts. Most likely if confronted, they would deny their posts and run away . I stay off of Twitter for that reason! I'm not in the mood for childish comments from those that haven't grown up yet! You are doing a great job with Banksy so focus on that and to those who say different, it's because they are jealous of you and your strengths as a woman❣ God Bless you and Banksy🙏❣❤️❣🐴

[@RealGhostbusters69]

I love how foals wag their tails like dogs, it's adorable! Bansky and Apollo are so cute! Hopefully inspection will go well

[@francesbruno8445]

Wow! What long legs and agility Banksy has. Curious to watch him grow up.

[@0763sarah]

Your doing a great job and he looks awesome! ❤️🙏🏼 Awww that ending says it all! Pure mama ❤️

[@avriewirth3645]

i love him with all my heart and mickey is such a saint

[@peightonstorm1053]

You've done such a beautiful job that foal is just fabulous he is so cool you've done a great job don't let anybody tell you any different that's a hard thing to do let them try and do it

[@scottrohrig2358]

You do you and what you, family, friends and his vet thinks is right for him! You don’t have to explain to us unless you want to! And I thank you for all that you do! I admire and respect you! ❤️ he is so sweet and well loved! I’m actually using my husbands account lol my name is Cynthia ❤️

[@lisamoody212]

I so very much appreciate your honesty and transparency here with your journey. Banksy is SOOO stinking cute! Unfortunately there are so many judgmental people in this world we live in and social media makes it easy for haters to be the bullies they are. Keep loving that baby boy and keep doing what you are doing because you obviously have his best interests at heart and in mind.

[@witchyhobbit]

And going on to talk to us about it? That's absolutely mature and amazing. I'm so glad she did because hopefully it helps people realize that tips and tricks arn't helpful and she's educated and thoughtful enough to do the right thing for her horses and knows where and who to go to so she can get the best advise possible from professionals and seriously experienced people. Lisa, did you see his cute lil tri-colored tail? Arnt you just in LOVE!!!!! :D

[@anakruger2412]

He's so big now! Oh my goodness!

Can you make a video going into more detail about the inspection process? Or are you allowed to film during the actual inspection? I’d love to learn more about the options and registries available to you too.

[@lyssatanner9040]

Omg this is literally the cutest video ever!!!
