[@opinionated4219]

$2,600 for six horses is a better deal than six humans having that kind of work done by a human dental specialist in my area. Glad everyone checked out without any big issues.

[@Believinabel]

True

[@jr3kg3]

👏🏽💯👏🏽✨️🫡🌄🥂

[@MaryLewis-jt5jx]

@@Believinabel Glad you are happy with the price.

[@lindagatti9973]

I still have my own teeth, still a mystery, but always made sure my horses had full dental care.

[@conniewojahn6445]

I paid $5000 for one implant. Yes, human dental work is expensive.

[@deborahharker4392]

A vet that just keeps working with a dog sharing his chair is priceless ❤

[@doreenjohnson8359]

That was priceless❤

[@janicecastellanos8091]

I agreed, ❤ to to cute!!! 🥰

[@hoptoit5910]

2:12 😂😂 Bagheera, Bagheera you look just gorgeous as always but especially today with that eyeshadow and foundation sweetie 😂

[@TomUnderwood-lv8xm]

LOL. 😊 L

[@TheLindagdetroit]

mud packs are her beauty secret!

[@JaquelineWeimern]

I think she forgot to test her shade but still perfect!

[@patriciamountin9564]

He seems ravenous since his dental work..Poor guy, now he can be comfortable and eat in peace.

[@teresabotkins4983]

Bagheera was obviously trying to disguise herself so she could escape her dental! 😊 Glad Dodger will be okay. My mare was a QH so I have a soft spot for them.

[@TomUnderwood-lv8xm]

I have a really good feeling about Dodger. Think he will really soar after he feels better. 🙂 L

[@kimberlylee1329]

I love quarter horses! Mine was the best!!

[@healingsprings11]

Dodger's chewing so much better. Glad the vet found the problem beyond his teeth issue. Excellent vet . 👍

[@rebeccahylant7695]

My dog's dental bill is also ~$500

[@LegendHold1]

My dog's dental bills are typically $1500 for just a cleaning! WOW Dodger's chewing is a LOT better already!

[@cyndig6890]

Glad Dodger’s issues weren’t serious. Even horses don’t like to go to the dentist, lol. Thanks for sharing Shae.

[@WeRhappybikin9704]

I’m ready for some sleepy drugs next time I go to the dentist. Far more calm than me

[@janebrown3897]

Thank you Shae for showing the dental procedure and that Dodger will be ok.

[@yes2day100]

Erin is a really good assistant. She seems very calm and efficient.

[@user-sn8vm8yl1l]

Such an important video.!!!! I know that you are not a rescue but you have definitely rescued Dodger by doing the most important thing that you can do for your horse. Be responsible. Thank you for teaching horse owners how to take perfect care of their horses. You are the best. ❤😊

[@markstone2036]

So we'll said.🎉 Thank you.❤❤

[@dianaburris7231]

I gotta compliment Erin. A serious assistant

[@TomUnderwood-lv8xm]

Yes she is awesome. 😊 L

[@kathrynfowler9887]

And very, very good at what she does.

[@oliviacasino8888]

Best dentist appointment I’ve been to recently! Next time I’m going to ask for happy juice shot! Happy for Dodger and all the horses at Spirit!

[@susangray5318]

This was very interesting. I’ve never seen dental work done on a horse before. Shae, I love that you show people how they should be taking care of their horses physically and emotionally ❤

[@dawncher4510]

Shae, thank you so much for showing the entire dental visit! I had no idea how important dental care is to a horse! Actually, until I started watching FSE videos, I didn’t even know there was such a thing as Equine Dentistry! I am truly blessed to have found your channel! I don’t have horses, but if my grandchildren ever do, I will know which direction to steer them for excellent equine care. God Bless you, your family and all of your animals. You are a blessing for so many!

[@stanleynuckles2916]

Dodger is one lucky boy he found Free Spirit Equestrian. He’s going to be living his best life right along with the rest of your herd. I so much enjoy all of the videos you put out there for us.

[@kathyanderson5671]

Poor Dodger he was in pain but he was use to the pain. What a good boy he is. Yay he is better and the antibiotics will help him so he can meet the herd. You are a good momma❤️

[@SomeonesSomeone322]

Dodger is one lucky horse to have a great human mommy like you! Love your channel and can't wait until you get to incorporate him into your beautiful herd.❤

[@marie-michelleanderson2851]

Their dental issues are so much cheaper than my dental work,!!!

[@ruthlinn9911]

People get horses and make no effort to learn about their care.

[@jeancollins1904]

How interesting. Never knew horses needed so much care. People should be questioned before they are allowed to buy horses to find out how knowledgeable they are.

[@raraavis7782]

Yeah. I think people wildly underestimate how expensive owning a horse can be, if things go wrong. They can get sick or injured in so many ways 🫣

[@Pat_Speaks]

You are spot on. I think that goes for all our animals!

[@brennerc180]

Seriously, the boarding fees are just the tip of the iceberg 😂

[@kitkatmccabe]

I have always said you can buy a horse for pennies, but it's the upkeep that cost the most. That's what some people don't realise. They think that as long as they have hay, grass, and water, they will be fine.

[@GuiltyPleasure72]

I’m so so so happy dodger is a fse horse now. Sweet boy deserves all the good things and he’s going to repay you tenfold in love.

[@Lionessqueen98]

Feel so sorry for Dodger for having teeth problems but at least he's getting treated for it

[@patsabol8699]

So glad that everything went well for the herd's dental care, especially Dodger. It is so good to see loved and well-cared for animals.

[@karenmay-detato7622]

I'm happy to hear that Dodgers' teeth issues are being addressed! I can't imagine the pain that he's been in. He is soooo lucky that he came into your hands. I have to say that he seems a bit sad. I wish I could tell him that the grass is definitely greener with you! Punn intended! It won't be long now, and he will realize just how lucky he is! He'll be running with the herd in no time! It's good to see everyone else is doing well also.

[@Claire_T]

So glad that Dodger's mouth issues are fixable, he's such a lovely horse 🥰

[@bcgrote]

He does already look more comfy with his chewing! ❤ Yeah, if he was grabbing the bit because it hurt his mouth, causing damage that makes his teeth hurt more... a vicious cycle. I'm glad you could break that cycle with a good standard dental! 🎉❤

[@mariannecormier3021]

Koa makes friends easily, he's always down for new friendships. Lyra looks like a smiling muffin

[@girlinvt]

So glad that you show just how important teeth and hoof care are. Along with proper grass management and how it affects hoof health, and can cause foundering issues. How guickly colic can become deadly. You are one of the best content creators who show the realities of owning horses and how much work, money, and time it takes to give them a good life.

[@TomUnderwood-lv8xm]

You are absolutely right. Proper animal care is a lot of work & expense & should be a labor of love. 😊 L

[@SallyLaBaume]

Dodger is chewing faster now. Thank you Shae for loving your animals so much. Love watching your videos.

[@carolmccorry3053]

That was interesting to see Shaye. I'm glad dodger is ok. Those dogs of Tom's were beautiful

[@randiberry7412]

I'm glad that there was nothing too serious going on, and that Dodger will now heal and be more comfortable. You are the best horse friend/owner any horse could ever want.

[@celinefederici6951]

Good News about Dodger ....so happy to hear it ! He just loves his hay so no it will be easier for him to chew and his mouth feel more comfortable. You are such a caring horse mama ...no wonder your horses love you so much. Enjoy the rest of the day !

[@ceebee987]

Thank goodness it was nothing serious with Dodger, but also at the same time, proving how important quarantine is. Super happy he'll be better soon and meeting the herd 😊❤

[@aujkalenic4203]

Thank God all the horseys are good, thank you Shae for loving these guys so much ❤

[@kayeb2647]

So glad Dodger won’t be in pain to eat anymore.

[@ckswat77zz51]

I’m so happy it wasn’t anything serious Shae. I don’t think people realize how important the dentist is for horses. I’ve run across horse owners that don’t worry about this until their poor horse is really showing signs of pain or other problems you recognize that are mouth related. Just like we should see our dentist for teeth cleanings, so should our horses. Your vet/dentist is awesome Shae. 🐴💕

[@louisefromNY]

Poor, Poor Dodger! Thank you to Dr Tom, as well. Thank you Shae. ❤❤❤.

[@lesleyriseam1282]

English Setters absolutely beautiful . The dentist surgery is quite amazing .

[@joannemckinley2487]

It was very interesting watching Dr. Tom doing his dental work on the horses, assisted by Erin. I had never seen that before. I am so thrilled that Dodger doesn’t have any major mouth issues, and that the doctor was able to help him feel better. You are such a caring horse owner, always doing what is best for your horses. Dodger is already showing you affection, so I’m so glad you bought him and brought him home with you. Best wishes to you all.

[@talyalazarlibi4456]

So glad it was nothing serious and was easy to fix! Keep taking care of those precious babies! I had never seen horses get dental work done let alone seeing inside their mouths! Coolness

[@marymcclavey8395]

So great to see horses being cared for because, as you say, so many horses just have to endure pain.

[@Enola88]

Great call dear!!! What a wonderful horse mama. Observation is tantamount!! I felt so much relief for both of you! You are so fortunate to have the vet/dentist. Even I exhaled. Lol

[@smm2476]

facinating!!! never got that close up and personal with the inside of a horses mouth. so glad Dodger received such great care, poor baby must have been in pain with a bit. can't wait for him to try out a bitless bridal, he's going to love it!!!!

[@CrazyFloridaCatLady]

I’m so happy for Dodger! It’s no fun living with pain in your mouth. 😊 Now he can just settle in and be happy!! I’m just glad he ended up with you at FSE!❤

[@annjohnson8437]

Thank you for showing all the dental work. I hope Dodger's feeling better soon so he can have buddies in his life. He's getting great care now, and bitless riding will be great for him. ❤

[@claudiam5358]

Thank you, Shae. You have amazing instincts about horses. I’m so glad you got Dodger, he has a wonderful future!

[@kimberleyfriesenhahn2515]

Great news for Dodger regarding his teeth. I hope he gets over the respiratory infection soon. I can't wait to see you working with him.

[@Poko0Chan]

The old Lady has warpaint in her fur! She is an old Warrior of the heart❤

[@Valentine-Channelle]

I absolutely love the English setter we had then when I was a child just beautiful dogs

[@Birdyblue12]

I was always a springer spaniel girl, love those dogs

[@baribarker4495]

That was actually reasonable for half your herd, that's really good.

[@cathyann1601]

This was quite an education watching this video! These horses are so fortunate to have you as their "Mom". I wonder how many horse owners never bother with this kind of treatment, never give it any thought.

[@BabyScatha]

Wonderful that Dodger came to FSE so he could get that fixed. Who knows how things would have gone if someone else bought him.

[@Sine-gl9ly]

I'm sure there are plenty of other people in the US who look after their horses just as impeccably.

[@justjoolz97]

Shae's so funny, she sees a puppy, "Is he for sale?" 😂 Btw, you're so lucky you have a vet/ dentist right near your farm. Most of us have to trailer to good care like him. 😊

[@kimscales5150]

tooth pain sucks, so happy dodger is going to feel so much better , love you and all the babies, !!!

[@brendahowell6796]

Oh, thank God he is with you. So glad he is going to be ok poor baby. I couldn't wait til he got his teeth fixed. Thank you for showing us.

[@Debbie-kt6ck]

Koa had a play date ❤. What a great vet/dentist Dodger was chewing further back in his mouth after dental so it seemed to me, so good news

[@Kim-lc3fv]

To me, the vet dentist's fees sound very reasonable. given how much he did, especially on newcomer the artful Dodger. And darling Mushu was totally adorable during his turn. 😊

[@lisagarian4083]

So happy that you take such good care of your horses you are amazing!

[@Auntie-Sara]

Many of us are learning but the first thing to know, I believe, is we can do as the horses do and Trust Shae❣️ Stressing the Isolation: 1 horse with a viral infection vs a 12 horse herd infected including seniors Jiminy & Bagheera! This is why Shae keeps them apart until they are truly healthy. If only others were so cautious🐴

[@Awenda18]

Thank goodness you quarantined him. He is such a strong horse, I’m sure he’ll bounce back💕 I do see his chewing is already much better‼️ I convalesced a mare after a tooth extraction from under her jaw and it was a long careful, painstaking process… so I’m happy Dodger doesn’t need to have that tooth out. Glad you are choosing bitless for him, too💕

[@mango8918]

Another quality video from my favorite horsewoman. Thank you for taking us along on this very informative video.

[@marthaagnew6022]

Loved having you take us along for these appointments! I’m interested in learning everything including costs.

[@Angel-g8r2z]

So good to have the best support systems with all your fabulous horse professionals on hand. It makes such a difference to have people that are excellent at their jobs to help guide you along the way. That applies in all walks of life. Blessings to you all. Axx

[@nancygates2574]

I’m so glad you got a quarter horse! He’s beautiful and sweet! I think he will give you a great ride!

[@georgiaanderson4483]

So glad Dodger is doing great after the dentist visit ❤❤❤

[@ChrisB24-f8q]

So pleased for you and Dodger that there is nothing too serious dental wise going on for him and your posting this so openly and speedily is much appreciated. Your respect and consideration for the welfare of all your horses is reflected in your choice of equine dentist/vet, along with transparency and choice in spending wisely over cheapest option with all that you do is really helpful with the reality of the true costs of horse ownership. Your horses look cute whether caked in dried mud or gleaming from their great grooming

[@katinthewild]

Dodger is a trooper living through the pain and not complaining. He’s a lucky horse to be with you Shea. Very interesting the exam and how the vet carefully examines and treats the horses. Dodger is ready to gallop off into the sunset, soon!

[@rodandjudibowen5665]

There's nothing like having professionals that you entrust the care of your precious animals. Wahoo! 🤩

[@raraavis7782]

Fascinating to watch. Also makes me quite sad to know, that before horse tranquilizers became a thing, a lot of horses probably were in pain from tooth issues for the latter half of their lives. I mean, you wouldn't even have been able to properly look at their teeth, never mind treat them somehow. I'm glad we can spare them that now!

[@conniemorgan8402]

Mooshu’s Stache makes me smile ❤️

[@AndiEvergarden]

Bagheera knows that a mud mask is a great beauty regimen, wonderful for the complexion! It was really interesting to see how the horse dental work was done, I learned a lot! I'm glad Dodger didnt have anything serious and that he is doing well! All the horses at Free Spirit are so well cared for!

[@elizabethheyenga9277]

He must feel better. So glad. I do animal bodywork and he is def chewing better. Those muscles have to rebalance but he is on track.

[@fleetskipper1810]

I got an off-the-track thoroughbred who turned out to be a parrot mouthed and had all kinds of tooth alignment problems. After a good equine dentist saw him, the change was truly remarkable. The dentist thought that he was suffering from TMJ just like humans do, and that it explained a lot of his unhappiness with being bridled and bitted. Back then, I did not know about bitless bridles, but the dental work inspired me to go on a long and exhaustive hunt for a bit that he could comfortably carry in his mouth. Seven bits later, I finally found one . Each horse’s mouth that you need to observe and be open to experimentation until you find what they want. Anyway, I can’t say enough good about equine dentistry. It can literally change your whole relationship with your horse.

[@JamieNicole729]

Dodger is in the best spot for him! He could not have asked for a better owner.

[@valerierowlett153]

It is so wonderful to see how well you take care of your herd. You are an inspiration! The horses are so lucky to have you as an owner.

[@ConorKeane-u1q]

TWOOOO MORE DOGS.And i can tell about jimminey being sassy i can see it in his eyes😂😂

[@MsWarriordiva]

More than two. Think there were 5 extra dogs!!

[@TomUnderwood-lv8xm]

Koa was thinking he had his own herd....like the horses. LOL. L

[@AnneHemmer]

Bird dogs are great, so smart and they want to please YOU! Very cheerful animals too. Also so beautiful and so soft. Easy to train! Simple.

[@tzu2146]

Dodger did really well! ❤

[@granciee7029]

All the horses are medicated singing 🎵 Does your head hang low does it wobble to and fro🎵🎵🎵🎵

[@shereneliscom6736]

Jimney looks so good for 24. You are the best care person they could ever have. Thier so lucky to have you Shae. Oh THANK YOU for the picture of you & dodger in my calender., I just love all the pictures !!!!

[@shortymcfox2251]

Cracked me up when you said “oh Bagheera”. Looks like she had a night out on the town 😂

[@TomUnderwood-lv8xm]

I laughed at Bagheera too. 😊 L

[@coyoteartist]

Being as I have to go to the Dentist every 6 weeks, I've often thought how nice it would be, if they could just drive to your house in a van. Also means I have totally sympathy for Dodger having any mouth problem.

[@freespiritequestrian]

That would be nice! Lol

[@deborahross9974]

So nice to learn that the horses didn't have too bad a problem with their teeth. Dodger was so lucky that you were able to buy him and that he had someone that cared enough to have his teeth checked and that his teeth weren't real bad. Now maybe he'll be able to put on some weight and muscle and be a happy horse especially when he gets to be out and running around with some of the others. Thank goodness you knew a vet that also knew how to check and take care of what was needed with their teeth. Those puppies were sure cute. Koa had some playmates for awhile. Happy trails to you and God bless.

[@MsWarriordiva]

That's cool how your vet has that special trailer for them to do the work. I had my horse checked at least annually, too. His teeth, sheath, any vaccines, wormed, etc. Anything that needed to be done!! ❤

[@hannamoonfly]

I loved lyra's face when she jumped on shae's leg for attention IT WAS SOO CUTEEEE

[@dianaburris7231]

So happy you have this vet!

[@sarahbeets4686]

Y'all have had a busy day! So glad u were able to get a handle on Dodger's dental issues. Hoping to see him doing better now. Respiratory system care along with dental, great too. Blessings 🙏💞 for all caring for ur horse family today. Dogs were a riot of activity today. 💕 🤗 💕

[@AnneHemmer]

Comfort is important! Even if it hurts a little, I’m awake all night and bothered all day. Yay! Such goooood news.

[@dsykes3970]

Great video, I admire your dedication to your horses!!!

[@BetteLouWho]

I hoped and prayed, from that first video where you showed him chewing, that it would be something simple and fixable. In the recent update video you began talking about Dodger's teeth right away, which warmed my heart and made me feel very happy indeed. You sure don't waste any time. No grass is growing on our Shae! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@operatorhelper]

I am very thankful that destiny brought dodger to you and your farm with the beautiful heard. Thank you Shae for sharing. I’m just glad he’s OK. He looks so much better more comfortable while eating.

[@milano4475]

You are my biggest inspiration when it comes to one day having horses of my own ❤️

[@DoubleDogDare54]

I have a lot of mileage on me now but the kid in me still flinched at the sound of the grinder and the clink of that one tooth getting poked at....

[@freespiritequestrian]

I know right 😂😂

[@ginavoneiff1575]

me too - I had to shut off the volume - I'm becoming a big baby!

[@kingagrabinski8849]

You are absolutely right and this message needs to be spread to make horse owners conscient about that. Having a good medical team around helps too, like your dental vet. Anyway, Dodger hit the jackpot when you crossed each other path.

[@Izzy.eq1]

Dodger is adorable and you are such a good rider!

[@billiejogresham9357]

I have a feeling in time. Dodger gonna be one of your best horses. Something in my gut tells me that Dodger has been thru some stuff. Lucky he is at FSE!! WE LovE YOU DODGER ❤️

[@ConorKeane-u1q]

I was eager like a little kid wanting to know whats going on with Dodger😂😂❤Godbless you dodger with your infection😢😢❤❤

[@berthah2145]

Oh my english setters so stunning and the little bulldog also awesome, very nice vlog!

[@markstone2036]

Dodger is so lucky to have Mama Shae and Papa Kyle.

[@michellenelson6888]

2:17 Bagheera is my spirit horse!!!

[@bridgittemoon7613]

She amazes me ❤

[@TomUnderwood-lv8xm]

She is truly amazing. L

[@tracym6297]

That's great news about Dodger. This is why quarantine is so important. He showed no signs of having a URI but has one. And being in quarantine, he won't pass it on to any of the others. And he can get better faster because he isn't stressed from meeting a new herd and figuring out his place in it. That's a win, win. My vet also does my horses teeth. I would rather have a veterinarian do the work in case anything goes wrong when the horse is under sedation, and they can also do an exam and treatment if needed. I absolutely love my vet. Yay! Your horses are all set for a while now. And Dodger's teeth are all fixed. They're all gorgeous babies. Mud and all. 😆 ❤❤❤

[@pattimiller9157]

Thank God and upper respiratory is no fun glad he's being treated ❤
