WE HAD A BIG SURPRISE WHILE RIDING STALLIONS IN MEXICO...

[@alethea9778]

I used to live for my horses! Unfortunately I haven’t been able to ride because of surgeries on neck and back. Only a true horse person can understand what a loss it is. I found your channel and love your horses and the fact you and your husband do so much together, and your obvious love of the animals. Never take for granted what you have! It takes a lot of HARD work to have what you have! Stay sweet, and kind!

[@beathefry]

hope everything is good on your side

[@alethea9778]

@@beathefry things are good, doing my gardening. Won’t be long and I’ll be canning. Right now I’ve been rehabbing a squirrel…he has an attitude but won’t be able to be released due to his injuries.

[@jeaninejones4382]

I feel your pain at not being able to ride. I can say that because I am there too. Age has not treated me kindly and riding again is not in my future any more. So yes I do feel your pain because it is also my own.

[@francesvarner9660]

Thank you for sharing this with all of us. I will never be able to ride a horse again, but I have had a love of horses since I was very young, but my mother got rid of all the horses and put the saddle in the attic. I used to go up and pretend I was riding. I am now 83 and this has been amazing, being able to share with you. Thank you again from a grateful older person. You go girl! 🥰 I love the fact that you are living my dream. ❤❤❤

[@user-riley0319]

The horses are really fit - afternoon all that fast action, they have to be! But I trust they took you on a shortcut back to the ranch, not another 4-hour ride!

[@ellenwheat3608]

Hi Frances, from another 83-year-old.

[@ellenwheat3608]

Gigolo is such a gorgeous red.

[@nancysouder5111]

That waterfall was beautiful! Growing up in the mountains of Virginia we had a lot of water falls. Nearly every creek had one at some point. I really miss seeing them and wading the creeks, playing in the falls. What an amazing childhood I had!

[@annehemmer5153]

Miss all the water in Mass. too. In Texas now. The trees are so short and no evergreens, little natural variety and far apart- zilch rocks! They are small also. Huge beautiful sky though.

[@nancyotero774]

Thank you for this amazing video. I taught 4th grade at an American School in Mexico where I met the love of my life. We were told our different cultures would cause a divorce but here we are happily married 48 years later. We have a lot in common with you and Kyle. Horses are my passion and my husband does all of the maintenance work required.😂

[@eviepinto4967]

Once again, so amazing!! And the horses! So well mannered! I also love how grateful you are about it!! Obviously not everyone can have that experience, and you know that. I’m so happy there are equestrians like you to make this world a better place.

[@freespiritequestrian]

Thank you! Yes they are such rock stars 🐴💖❤️

[@juliejennings7459]

This is without doubt one of my favourite KZbin videos...ever. Thank you for taking me along, it was an amazing time. Your speedy at thecend, about riding for as long as you can, brought a lump to mtmy throat. XX

[@kathyschmidt6917]

Woohoo!! I love riding along. Let’s do this often!!!

[@susan.amankowski2884]

I'm glad Gigolo was fine with the loose and barking dogs! He is such a nice red color stallion.

[@freespiritequestrian]

He’s such a good boy!

[@Groundedsquirrel]

I had the joy of riding outside Puerta Vallarta Mexico, there were loose dogs many places along the way. They loved to bark like crazy while running around the horses feet, at a trot or canter especially it seemed. One particular one even nipping madly. The horses seemed completely used to it, it was just me they seemed to make nervous! Chickens and children were often suddenly all around us too, but everyone seemed to coexist well. I was not a very experienced rider outside of the ring and all of this made me feel... well, I couldn't believe it! I could also not keep my horse from galloping after the wild people I was with, so it was pretty nuts. Once I realized the horse could go no faster I came to enjoy it all. She was a complete sweetheart otherwise, and the more I relaxed the more I felt we were working together. It's not like I could just dismount because I had no idea where I was. Now I know better about knowing the people and horses I spend time with. Miss horses though, it's been a while!

[@sandybowers5085]

Bringing me back to when I had my heart horse and the freedom of cantering through the trails❤No other feeling like in the entire world❣️This is why I know for SURE there are horses in heaven ❤️🙏🏼💯

[@heiditrzebiatowski1905]

I love Kyle. He makes me laugh. You two are just perfect ❤

[@freespiritequestrian]

Haha thank you!!!

[@gemstonejudy5900]

Gigilo is a beautiful color, in the sun!

[@joymoss-rendell2637]

So appreciate the filming you do on the horse in motion which gives your viewers the feeling of riding themselves without the motion. I, or anyone, 34:13 who has ridden knows the wonderful exhilarating feeling . I thank you for all your delightful clips a day especially those filmed on horseback galloping. ❤

[@ENiceproductions]

So true

[@lizvisser4221]

The only way I see and ride horses is from you. And I am gratefull that you take us along.Horses are just not part of my real life here anymore and miss it daily and makes me ever so sad and depressed.But look forward to your videos. Thanks

[@freespiritequestrian]

Oh goodness I’m sorry. I’m glad that I can give you a horse fix even if it’s small. 💖

[@Groundedsquirrel]

Same! Seriously. So glad I found this channel. Hope we can both get horses more in our lives somehow!

[@freespiritequestrian]

It’s so true! ❤️

[@user-ii4zf5iq3t]

My cousin & I used to go out and ride for an hour or two after dinner every evening. I lost 15 pounds in two weeks just sitting on a horse. Horseback riding and snow skiing are magical. One you sit and the weight just jiggles off triming your waste & hips and toning the inside of your thighs. The other, you can stand on two sticks sliding downhill and burn 500 calories per hour while your muscles grow and all those hot buttered rums melt off. So easy.

[@estherherranen6123]

That was incredible!! Muchos gracias!!❤

[@dottierogers4625]

[@DeborahKeeney-mg3ft]

I found your channel a couple of weeks ago and love watching and learning from your experiences. I have only riden horses a few times in my life and had some fear of them, only now leaning so much more. Every aninmal deserves care, love and respect. Thank you for sharing your passion!

[@freespiritequestrian]

Awww that’s so exciting!!!

[@dianeboross6978]

Hi Shae and Kyle, This just popped up in my feed and what a wonderful little get-away for you two last year. This was before I started following you. The colors and history of Mexico are spectacular. I know your hands are full now, but someday, you will find the time and money to do something like this again.

[@lindag4484]

I don't think I've ever seen so many dogs! Re: your meat comment. I'm kind of that way with meat too. I only eat very small amounts of meat, but it has to be from one of our local, familiar, small farms. They raise what they use plus some extra to sell. I'm just sitting here enjoying the markets, the horses, the scenery, and the clippity-clop sounds. Wow! That meal and a waterfall too! ...with ice cream! Are you sure you didn't book 'heaven' for this vacation?

[@annehemmer5153]

Your music is lovely!! ❤

[@jeanheitschmidt8799]

Food looked delish, no worries Kyle Mexican food can be messy eatin’ that’s part of the fun! The ride looked so amazing too and lovely to see the healthy horses!❤❤❤

[@9kittiesmom]

I miss riding, I can no longer ride due to old injuries. My last horse I had was a Paso Fino he was soooo smooth. Unfortunately, he developed a congenital disease and had to be euthanized. My husband was not a horse person, he didn't ride he preferred another kind of horsepower. We managed to do what each of us enjoyed. We would go boating and come home and I would go riding. I miss them both.

[@susaneskra-fv2vu]

I love ❤ riding along on your trail adventures !!

[@cherylhillskemper7564]

So beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing. I would ride out in the open every day if I could too. Maybe not 5 hours every day. Last summer I rode 5 hours up & down hills in Yellowstone on a Belgian & my legs were shaking when I got off. LOL. I think my favorite vacation was a cattle drive up in the Sierras between Bishop, CA & Mammoth, CA. Miles & miles of nothing except the sweet horses, cows & other riders.

[@freespiritequestrian]

Sounds amazing!

[@ray3kkart]

you can actually ride western with both hands! it's usually how they teach less experienced riders and slowly switch to one hand (probably because most higher lever/age range competitions don't allow using two hands)
