The horse at 13:13< I immediately felt you both had a connection, like the horse was meant for you. For me, in any animal, that spiritual connection is beyond any other desire in an animal.

[@freespiritequestrian]

@@keh-dalia809 I completely agree!

[@InspirationEmPire25]

@@freespiritequestrian I just got my first horse on August 7th. His name is Mater, a red roan paint, 16 years old, 16.1 hands high, his breed is a quarter horse, Belgian draft, paint cross.

[@freespiritequestrian]

@@InspirationEmPire25 oh my gosh he sounds gorgeous!!!! Congrats!

[@Mkutkina]

3:37 the foal and the mom are mine! The person who bought them decided that he didn’t want them, I was the second highest bidder. I named the foal Domino and the mom Bingo.

[@freespiritequestrian]

Wow that’s amazing!!!!!!!

Congratulations! Take good care of your new fur babies

[@ThMon]

Congratulations How the foal doing now? Do you have a KZbin channel ?

[@stardust949]

I'm glad that this was a nice auction for horses that are very likely to get good new homes---those kill buyer auctions are so distressing.

[@freespiritequestrian]

Yep totally agree.

[@urnan7330]

I HATE kill auctions

[@freespiritequestrian]

@@urnan7330 same but this wasn’t one.

[@dreamcatcher3861]

I absolutely agree, I support Horse Plus Humane Society, they’re absolute angels and save every horse they can in slaughter price range to stop the kill buyers and feed lots buying them. This stops these beautiful animals dying a horrendous death in Mexico and Canada. They even buy horses that have to have the last act of kindness because they’re so badly injured or extremely sick. They give love to every single horse, donkey, mule and mini that comes to their yard. Seriously good organisation and such beautiful souls.

[@ryobaaishi9968]

Should only kill for survival. This kill auction is unnecessary as we already hunt wild animals.

[@robbinjackson5073]

My very first horse was an Appaloosa. She was a big brood mare dark brown with a white blanket. My mom's Appaloosa was a red roan who was pregnant when we got her. She had a colt who was kind of a red roan with a white blanket. My brother had a white Appaloosa, he had lost his color. He was beautiful and he knew it. We would get him all cleaned up and my brother had everything black, saddle and briddle then he would get on him and he would arch his neck and start prancing with his tail up and was just beautiful to watch. All of our horses were spoiled rotten. They were more like big puppy dogs than horses. In the mornings we would step outside and they would start telling us good morning. If we wanted to go riding all we had to do is call them. If we went out in the pasture they would have to come see what you were doing. Those days are my fondest memories growing up. All of the horses you were showing were all very nice looking. There were a few that needed some TLC but not bad. Thank for your video I sure miss not having horses anymore.

[@freespiritequestrian]

Wow sounds like you had some absolutely beautiful horses! Thank you for sharing everything ❤️❤️🐎🐎🐎.

[@elizabethkelley683]

Thank you for keeping the camera steady on the horses long enough to really look them over. Great video, the voice over is really informative as well. Appreciate your sharing.

You are so lucky to have these opportunities to attend auctions and build your herd with stunningly beautiful horses. Well done. It’s great that you share these experiences with us. I’ll likely never have a horse now but I can live vicariously with your enjoyment.

You give such good advice, pointing out what you look for when viewing horses. You explain in clear language what you're seeing and feeling as you look them over, pointing out what might be or become issues. Thank you!

In my much younger years, I had a Palomino. Beautiful horse, and well tempered, and rode well. After he passed on, I never got another one. I do watch a horse rescue group on KZbin. I wasn't looking for anything on horses, but your channel showed up, so I watched. Great job on how you look, and feel on them. I subscribed. Thank you for showing experience.

Thanks for bringing us beautiful horses to view! It’s hard to see those that are suffering or too thin. Hoping they found loving homes.

[@freespiritequestrian]

Agreed.

[@phyllisbennett9950]

It really upsets me, when the People who buy horses to go abroad to kill , is heartbreaking, I hate these humans who can pick out those that go for a cheap price and the mares with foals can be bought cheaply. I used to go to Auctions to save any pony, donkey, Mule i could, then, I would get my Vet to check them out, make them well again , physically and mentally, and when they were ready for a wonderful home put them up for sale. Only the best homes for them, of course. But, I'm could not save them all, and, it it broke my heart every Auction and affected me so badly, and decided not to go to anymore Auctions. This one here looks like , they may all be a OK. What a lovely lady you are with all your lovely and lucky horses, to be in your care, awe

[@amberslagle5436]

This auction looks so organized and all the animals look well taken care of. So used to seeing videos of auctions with injured, old, starved, beaten down horses.

[@RangerFishy]

At my barn my parents brought in this new Overo Mare and her colors are absolutely GORGEOUS. She has a white base and a few light brown/honey color patch’s on her. She has half brown half white mane and it’s long and healthy. We’ve had her a week and she doesn’t like to get dirty and is always smooth. I have a 2 year chestnut Filly that’s an amazing horse if you wanna go fast around a ring but he’s always really dirty, they are pretty much opposites but they get along surprisingly well.

[@freespiritequestrian]

That’s cool! ❤️

How does one make a final decision on just one?! So many beautiful and sweet horses to choose from!!💖🐴💖

I’m glad you watched. Thank you! Yes, Apps are amazing. It’s hard to choose just one but I know how much work (and money) it all takes, and that grounds me haha.

[@Reptile_Gecko]

I would have loved the little Zebu, but I can understand that being a risky even just plain idea for a mainly horse owner, as cattle fed can be straight up toxic to horses, so the poor little fella would just be an additional risk factor with owning horses.

After watching your video about the third time or more I'm sure you would have so much fun working and playing with any miniature animal. Just for fun!😍❤❤❤ I really do enjoy your videos so much. When I was growing up my Dad always wanted a pony or horse. There was 9 children in my family and I was lucky enough to get my first shetland pony at the age of three. We never sold ponies but by the time I was in middle school we had 21 ponies and 3 horses. I thoroughly appreciate all you cover and the information is so important to know. You are so beautiful and very knowledgeable. Thank you Shae for all you do. ❤❤❤

[@snowflow07]

I loved Domino and was cheering you on to get him. My best dog ever was a Dalmatian and his name was Domino, 1972-1986. He was so smart I had to start spelling words cuz “hike” or “walk” would get him excited. Now to find the next video… This was an awesome video and your mom could be your sister. 🥰

Having had Appaloosas for over 40 years, there's a difference between eye sclera and "crazy eye". Just so everyone knows. You and I have similar loves: you love mustangs and Appaloosas, and I recently adopted a Warm Springs Appaloosa Mustang. The most loving, personable horse I've ever owned.

Love your eye for detail which I find very important knowing what to look for especially those minor details which should be important as to the overall health and character of the breed in particular the younger horses when assessing the horses current behaviour and longevity for what you need when purchasing.

I'm SO into the big drafts lately. I've always wanted one. So I would have had to be tied and hauled out on a dolly to keep from getting at least 2. Preferably the Irish Drum and maybe the big dapple gray or Domino. My 2nd horse was an Appy mare, and I fell in love with the breed. I'm too old and broken now to ride, but my grandkids and great grandkids would all benefit from owning one, or at least having access to one aka grandmas house

[@anitajonsson4379]

Thank you for taking us along on your trip to buy a new horse. I've wanted a horse all my life. I asked for one for my sixth birthday. Mom wasn't convinced a horse would be happy living in our basement as I suggested, and city life would not make a horse happy. In my entire life, I.have been on a horse for maybe 30 minutes in total. I am living vicariously through you. All I can say was.I had a wonderful time...just sad that your film ended with "to be continued". I did subscribe to your channel so I will look forward to seeing more. You used quite a few terms I had never heard before. Next time I will write them down so I can look them up. I loved the little donkeys too. So darn cute. And, I guess since I am a tall woman I end up being attracted too (and a little afraid of) the big / tall horses. So many wonderful choices. I'm just sad you don't have the time or resources to help one of the neglected horses. I feel bad that they do not have anyone to love them and help them regain their strength and good spirits. I am very impressed with your confidence around and knowledge of horses. You were very good at reading the horse's mood and respecting their choice to become better acquainted or not. I liked that very much. Whoever you bring home will be a very lucky horse. I am excited to see what happens at the auction and which horse you buy!

[@freespiritequestrian]

Thank you!!!!! I have taken on neglected horses, but you can’t save everyone sadly. I really appreciate your comments. ❤️❤️❤️

[@anitajonsson4379]

Thank you for your response. I did not expect it. You have so much to do with your business and horses. Of course, you have taken in neglected horses. I should have realized that you do from what I witnessed during the auction. Your love, respect and concern for every horse that you visited during the pre-auction horse inspection phase was definitely apparent in your manner, words and interactions with the horse you were with. It had not dawned on me that each buyer had goals, a budget, and a criteria to meet in the purchase of a horse. I also learned that the entire process was a dynamic process, there were no guarantees, and achieving what you hoped for was a matter of timing: right buyer for the horse's needs, right horse for the buyer's purchasing goals, and the right degree of congruence between cash available and asking price, buyer confidence, and competition characteristics at work during the auction of your desired horse. I was relieved to see that buyers have more than one chance to win if--during the inspection pre-auction phase--they look for and find more than one horse that would fit their purchasing criteria. It is also important to gather as much information about the horse you like and then rate it in each of the criteria categories required. Total ranking of each horse liked would help with the bidding process. Then when a horse in your select group comes up for auction the game begins. And, if you were not able to go the distance and outbid other bids to win the horse (for many reasons; such as, the horse was not your favourite which was yet to come up for bidding, and the price asked was either more than you could pay due to budget, or would pay depending on the worth you placed on owning that particular horse) there are still other horses you have qualified for purchase and can bid on them should you choose. Always another horse at that auction in your select group or, perhaps, in the next auction. I'm sorry I'm rambling and writing on. It was exciting adventure, a great lesson, and a most enjoyable film. You were magnificent on all counts. I loved how it all turned out. I look forward to the next episode. 💖👏

This is the amazing and at the same time, sad thing about horses in USA. The horses nobody wants, usually ends up on slaughter trucks, being shipped from auction to auction, until they reach the border. But this auction looks like the horses are higher class, well cared for, and I like the openness of the whole thing, so easy to view the horses, good light, and everything. The video is well made, and the horses are stunning.. 😍

I have seen so many horses that I would have spent money on to help with their health issues. Unfortunately, I don’t have money to do anything to help . Plus, they are so many beautiful horses I would go nuts spending money! Great video sharing so much information! Great video M
