that appaloosa and that Fjord and the mommy pony with her 2 week old foal those 4 horses were so adorable and cute and they had beautiful coats like precious coats

[@RakneJulio]

Norwegian Fjord Horses are such a good breed of horse! I have one (soon two) and they are amazing. It always shocks me how rare they are in other countries outside of my own, I live in Norway btw. I see them everywhere, so that might be why im a bit shocked haha

[@freespiritequestrian]

Awesome!

[@fishygirl3548]

I love them! Haven’t seen one in person before but I would love to own one some day (I’m in Australia)

I saw a pair pulling a covered wagon at an American Fur Trade Rendezvous re-enactment in Wyoming, USA decades ago. They are so beautiful. I love them and Icelandic Horses.

[@Sophia55589]

It makes me happy seeing a mare and her foal getting sold together it's so nice that they don't get separated ❤❤

[@blackshards3415]

And that's the reason why i LOVE fjord horses. They aren't too big or too small. They have the perfect size and shape. Just perfect for me. I love smaller horses like Fjord, Merens, Haflingers. In my country austria the Fjords and Haflingers are very common, but Merens are rare.

[@freespiritequestrian]

Yes they are so cool.

[@beckyduncan3086]

I love watching you go to auctions my first trip to a horse auction I was so overwhelmed there were nice ones but there were the walking dead ones looked like skeletons! I so wanted to take them all home and the owners just leave them. I did buy a black stud who was eating his stall they didn't have food or water. Blackjack turned out to be the best and loving horse. Also guard dog lol he protected his home and family. Thank you for showing me what a real auction looks like.

[@freespiritequestrian]

Wow that’s amazing you got him and turned him around. Thank you 🖤

[@RavenSaint1]

I have seen a foundation App cutting cattle well into their late 20s. She lived to be 35, and cut cattle until her last 2 years when she was no longer able to hold condition. Sway backed, sleepy looking until she was pointed at a calf or steer in the rodeo ring. Then she changed into this alert spry and athletic mare. Afterwards, back to tired looking old mare, but could see that little spark of satisfaction in her eye and little bit in her step. Lots of loving from her family as well. She was black with ivy spots over her hips when younger, nearly white all over when she passed in the field with her herd mates and family showing her how much they would miss her. She hadn't been eating for about 2 weeks prior, but still looked for hugs and scratches until that last day when she was too tired and ready to go.

[@freespiritequestrian]

Awwww thank you for sharing that!

[@annetteegerton6153]

I owned a Norwegian Fjord X Welsh pony, She was an amazing pony. Good looking, nicely conformed, gentle, safe with children and she was excellent in the hunting field. She had a brave heart. She could jump amazingly well! She was always calm and gave great confidence to myself and my children. She was only 13.3hh but had a good gait and was very comfortable to ride in all ways. She was called Mischief a name given to her by an old farmer on whose farm she lived as a foal because she was cheeky and curious. I had her from her being 8years to 28years when she died naturally. She was well loved by us. I would say a one in a million. She was my dream pony.

[@cynthiashields1982]

It breaks my heart to see horses that have not been properly cared for. So sad. But on a happy note, I love your knowledge of horses. Very impressive.

[@freespiritequestrian]

Agreed :(. Thank you for watching even if can be hard.

I was at a Auction looking for a project horse and I saw a buckskin with spray paint all down his back and I asked what type of spray paint/paint they used and they showed like actual spray paint sow we took the horse home and when we washed it off all off all of the horses skin was infected we took him to the vet and they said the horse needed a type of medication to survive, he’s now doing well and I decided to name him miracle

[@freespiritequestrian]

Oh goodness! Thank you for saving him.

[@Boyland8692]

Don’t comment Well I feel I must in regards to the horse being ridden to demonstrate their suitability those people need to take a refresher course as they didn’t exhibit a very high riding standard. I also Hate the way that people ride the horses into the auction I mean these poor animals are already stressed!!! For once I’m great full that I live in Australia where we are not as exposed to this style of auction. I appreciate your candidness in your videos it’s very refreshing. 🐴🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@freespiritequestrian]

I know it’s hard to watch sometimes. I completely agree. They are so stressed coming into the ring. Often times when they are quiet I assume the are being flooded :(. Thank you for watching. I want to educate people, and personally I want to buy horses and give them a better life when I’m able. Wish I could take them all…. but at least a few at a time little by little makes some difference in the world. At least I hope ❤️.

That Fjord stallion was lovely. We have a few local to me in the UK.

[@freespiritequestrian]

Nice!

[@neifader]

Interesting! And very odd to see a fjord horse in a action. In Norway we don’t have animal auctions for any animals except cattle. And the few that are more a curiosity for markets. The animals laws here regarding living conditions, transport and health bills for the animals are so strict that it it makes little sense to buy and hold animals through actions. Sincerely, a Norwegian citizen(and previously fjord horse rider)!

[@freespiritequestrian]

Wow that’s really interesting to hear! The US hardly regulates, as you can see. That’s very fascinating.

[@archangel807]

Working to make abusive horse auctions illegal in US....These poor horses are trucked to Mexican meat slaughter and killed with knives.....

[@freespiritequestrian]

@@archangel807 read what you just said. Mexico, not the US, Mexico slaughters horses. I hate how it’s all done too, but in the US getting horses out of the local auctions keeps them from getting into the “Kill Pens”.

[@LWirus]

I am from the Czech republic and we don't have auctions like this either, same as you. I own a fjord mare, they are very special breed :)

[@vivianwinford3681]

Cheap for the Fjord I'm thinking. Thanks for putting the prices on screen. Can't always understand the auctioneer. 💘 🐎 🇺🇸

I've been told to take the offered age at auction and double it. Stood true for the appaloosa, though I loved him.

[@carolgreen1822]

You are so fortunate to have so many auctions in your area. The fact that so many are Amish consignments really adds a lot of variety and color. I love all the draft horses and the crosses and like you I have a soft spot for a well colored Appaloosa. Thanks for taking us along to the auctions. Carol in south Texas.

[@TIGGIEEEEEEEE]

That foal is just so cute! But when the foal was up for auction it looked so nervous! It had no idea what sould happen, if I was able to bid for that pair I would've!

If I wasn’t engaged he wouldn’t be so supportive but he knows this means the world to me and he likes the farm lifestyle as well. I wouldn’t be able to do it with out him by my side though, he’s my rock!!!

@Sidetrack Susie yes he most definitely is an Amish horse. I talk about several of these points on my tiktok as well. I’ll link them below. He definitely should not be a stud that’s for sure. He was sweet and kind but I’m pretty confident he has cushings as well.

[@beckyshell4649]

I used to go to horse auctions years ago .I am shocked at the prices of these horses.Back then a pony that was cute and "kid broke"would go at most $ 250 and that was a rare fancy pony.Most ponys went for less than $100 and sadley were bought by kill buyers.

[@freespiritequestrian]

It’s only become crazier!

[@lindag4484]

Norwegian Fjord horse! Unusual to find one at auction. Sold for $3500. Reminds me of the Scandinavian Folklore Dala horse (Dalecarlian).

[@judytinker3392]

Oh my God that paint baby is so freaking cute. Look at how she is so active and jumping all over.

[@ncoppens]

Fjord horses are pretty common here in Europe. My friend has a 32 year old mare. They are extremely sweet horses and they love to cuddle, but riding them is not my cup of tea ;-)

[@freespiritequestrian]

Yep, they are common there. Not as much in the US. Lol

[@reneeb.2702]

Glad you held off on the App. I was saying ‘no, no!’ Lol. I liked the 12 year old paint gelding that would have been a good trail horse. But I like a stocky cow pony look sometimes in a paint or quarter horse. Wonder why they sold it off the dud ranch at a great age of 12? That age has usually calmed down but still has plenty of go.

[@freespiritequestrian]

Yeah me too. Usually when they say 12 the horses is 16-20 😂

[@freespiritequestrian]

The sorrel (pleasure type)? He was beautiful, but something was a little off. Also, one that has his breeding and size should be around 10k, something was up.

[@SandraNowlookout]

Just watched some of your old videos and it’s crazy too see the difference in breeds all over the world - I live in Denmark and here fjords are so common and there’s almost not even one riding school that doesn’t have at least one fjord, they are so common here and you can get most quite cheap 🙃 on the other side Appaloosa and quarter horses for an example are more rare here 😊

I can’t imagine how stressful going to auction is for mamas and new babies.

[@elainedoyle8941]

One thing I noticed is that some riders had spurs and that can actually leave a mark on the horse and could cause them pain.and the person riding the dark coloured pony at the start of the bidding was a bit too big for it their feet were nearly touching the ground and that can cause back problems. (Im on my mothers account just so you know and I've been riding for most of my life.)

[@freespiritequestrian]

Totally agree.

She’s 23 and retired from riding because her back was irritating her a little bit even when it was a kid riding her, so I retired her because I don’t to her uncomfortable or for it to get worse. To clear though her back isn’t bothering anymore but, I will not take her out of retirement for fear of it happening/flaring up again

East Tennessee they about give them away,cookeville horse auction .you haven’t seen bad till you go there

[@freespiritequestrian]

That’s unfortunate

[@teresahiggs4896]

Yep in Tennessee you get Big Lick horses. It’s just horrible. I grew up in East Tennessee. Big Lick is that horrible artificial gait that TN walking Horses have that is caused by inhumane chemical burning ( called soring) and chains ( with stacks, or thick shoe pads ) on a horses front feet . It should be illegal but it brings obscene amounts of money into the area so it’s protected by some law enforcement and the politicans who all get a piece of that money. Even the Goverment required inspections for evidence of soring, (scaring from the chemical burns) isn’t done reliably or well enough, lots of times it’s just ignored. Money talks. Just Google it, it’s too horrible to describe. The TN walking horse breeders say they take care of their horses, one are sold to kill auctions. But that’s not true. I’ve seen them myself. They just destroy the registration papers so you can’t trace the horse back to it’s breeder. Lots of broken down Big Lick horses go through the kill auctions. My family had mules and donkeys . My dad was disabled so he would take a team of mules and plow peoples hillside gardens where a tractor could t safely go ( no mono tractors or rototillers in East Tennessee where I lived when I was a child “ . So I got tossed up on the backs of working mules a lot. Dad had two teams of two mules each team. Big rangy mules. I loved them for their patience. I could literally fall,asleep onnthe or backs , just lay back with on their rumps and they’d just walk slowly and softly around and graze wirh me asleep on their backs. They really loved the grooming I would give them. We had a creek and in the hot summer they would stand in the shallows and I’d wash them,off….. they wouid usually just roll right after so a waste of time but they sure loved it. I never got stepped on, kicked, bit or thrown …. They all seemed to understand I was a child and to be gentle wirh me. And a funny site is to see a working mule, get unharnessed, be all sweaty and watch the, roll in the dirt for a dirt bath. And as a personal pet I had a little Jenny that would ride or drive. Sweet little thing and too smart for her own good, she would open the gate, walk up the porch steps and stick her head through the screen door begging for cornbread! Lol! My mom hated that! My dad died and we had to sell all of the stock and that just broke my heart. The mules were braying as they were trailered off. Just killed me . If my husband and I can find a place more rural to downsize, I want to get a mammoth Jack to ride. ( Google Mammoth Jack, they have paints and Appaloosa colors too! So beautiful!) Mules and donkeys are just awesome for trail riding in my experience. . Safe and don’t take chances , , usually not easily spooked and have a unique outlook on life . My personal feeling is I would rather have a donkey or a mule than a horse. I’ve had some bad experiences wieh horses , some just being nasty and intentionally hurting people.

[@freespiritequestrian]

Well they are Norwegian haha! They are around the US, you just don’t see them everyday. What breeds are rare in Norway? :)

[@VeronicaEquestrienne]

@@freespiritequestrian Yeah, they are, but in a way the are also on the red list in Norway of being "rare" so.. Uhm, we don't see a lot of mustangs or quater horses. We don't have a lot of OTTB either to be honest. Here our "OTTB" are trotting horses/harness racing horses being re-schooled to riding horses.

[@freespiritequestrian]

@@VeronicaEquestrienne oh wow really? If they are so common why are they on the red list (genuinely curious)? That’s not good. That’s so interesting that you don’t have many OTTBs. Mustangs actually aren’t extremely common where I’m from either. They are definitely around but you don’t see them as often since I’m in the Midwest/Eastern part of the United States. Out West they are more common since that’s where they live and are rounded up. Thank you for sharing!

[@VeronicaEquestrienne]

@@freespiritequestrian Because of the breeding part I think it is. I haven't really looked it up to much, but right now I think there is more Norwegian Fjords in Denmark then in Norway and a lot of the ones that are in Norway now have lines from Denmark.. even though it's a Norwegian Fjord... =) But I love Fjords, they are so allround, they do dressage, jumping, driving and so on. We also have another breed in Norway called a Norwegian Dølahest (Dole horse) that is also a working horse, but are similar to the Fjord in use. I do lease one =)

[@freespiritequestrian]

@@VeronicaEquestrienne wow very interesting! Yes, Fjords are so versatile, I love that. I’ve heard of the Dole horse! They look really strong, beautiful, and hefty. That’s amazing you lease one! I love the variety and differences that other countries have to offer when it comes to horses. ❤️

Is it the way they're built or how they were taken care of teeth, weight etc, or being a draft horse? Or personality like a really sound not skittish horse?

Usually they mention the horse is Amish or sometimes certain breeds are more likely to be Amish but there isn’t really a defined way to “tell”.

I have seen you go to tons of auctions and not buy anything. I was upset that you didn’t buy the Appaloosa until you said that he was 22 years old. I would have been in trouble if it had been me.
