He is beautiful and deserves a bunch of treats for minding you so well. You two look good together and you show your horses how much you love them when you are working or featuring them in one of your post. I love the little nudges they give you if you aren't giving treats fast enough to suit them. I enjoy seeing everyone of your horses, especially Jiminity.
He's such a neat horse. I have never seen a Canadian horse before. You can see all the time & effort you put in on his training. He seems so responsive to what you ask him to do. Really cool seeing this. Thank you.
Thank you! This wasn’t a perfect ride by any means but was still great and fun! He was also my 4th ride of the day so I was sort of cringing at myself lol! However, I think it’s important to show average rides too! I really appreciate your kind words.
He’s huge compared to mine! I adore Canadian horses so much, they’re like puppy dogs! You have a stunning mover and he’s absolutely stunning. Love the name too. Positively love what you do with your horses 💚
@@freespiritequestrian he’s about 15.1-15.3 hands! So pretty big difference there! Yours is much more draft looking than mine, I think mine is just a smaller horse all around bahaha. Are there different lines of them? He’s purebred Canadian but I’m wondering if different Canadians have more draft features than others. He’s got the big feet and big head for sure, but not so much in the barrel area.
@@kenmorris2290 That’s very interesting! I have one of the smaller ones for sure. He has the draft features of big face, big feet and a big rear, but other than that I’d guess he’s an overweight sport horse of some kind. They’re a real unique and interesting breed. So fun to have! I’ve always been interested in seeing a chestnut one.
I really like that you explain the difference of each horse like Gaston being Cadiaian and how strong his hoofs are. He's such a beautiful horse.also the way you let him stretch his neck down is super cool. Nettie
As always enjoy watching you with your horses and you're so informative and they're so beautiful and taking care of so well just very enjoyable wouldn't miss it thank you
Excellent work out. I am so glad l have found your channel. You are doing such a great job of taking the time to explain the REASONS you do things so that the whole thing becomes an experience that someone can actually learn something and the reason it is being done. l am also glad to see that you encourage riders to experience riding different horses. Please keep up with the excellent work. ❤
I love watching you ride your horses! Gaston is a gorgeous boy and is so willing to please and does everything you ask. I love it. Thank you so much for sharing.
Hi Shae, your narration on training stallion, Gaston, was very helpful. Your canter with him had the best rhythm and you two fit together like a glove on a hand. Nice watching that perfect symmetry!
I like the fact that you share a little information about each horse in detail. I've never heard of this breed so I was very glad that you shed some light on him. He looks very comfortable to ride. Do you use this horse in your riding program? I like what you are doing with the horses you get from the auctions. Taking care of their needs: farrier, training, groceries and your generous time with them makes them very suitable for their next forever home. While you may feel sad when they eventually leave, I'm sure you feel some pride knowing they are getting a good forever home because of your care. I know you made a mistake of thinking one horse was a gelding when, in fact, it was actually a mare. Don't feel bad about that because one time I bought a female German Shepherd and had it shipped to me by air and I never noticed that it was a male and not a female till I drove it home to New York from St. Louis, Mo. All that time stopping for potty breaks and just never noticed the gender. So it happens every now and then.
I watch a group from Canada who works to protect the "Wildies" horses in Western Canada. They are a very stocky breed of ( to my way if thinking) endangered Canadian Wild Horses. The group keeps salt stations and cameras out to track the lives of all the groups of horses.
Cheval is the French word for horse.....rare breed. All purpose horse for the family. Had to like and sub...from Newfoundland...where we have our own Heritage Breed Newfoundland Pony...critically endangered!
He is such a wonderful horse! I read about the breed a while ago because it was told there are not a lot of this breed around. Such an all around breed to enjoy! What I read about them was impressive. Is he a keeper for you? Will you sell him in the future? You seem to really enjoy your wonderful Gaston.
He sure is! Everyone will be for sale besides Jiminey and Bagheera. I enjoy every single one of my horses and truly love them but again, I have a mission and a purpose.
@@sabine701 because I love all of my horses, I value each and every one of them. They aren’t just “sale or project horses” It’s truly how I feel. But this is part of my mission and finding them appropriate homes when the time is right makes room for the next horse. Loving and speaking highly of them is me speaking true to my heart!
Thank you! He wasn’t always this way and it took time, and sometimes he has his own ideas but he’s an absolute gem and takes care of me and other riders! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wife.... Hi Shae 👋 I wanted to take a minute to explain something to you. We have spoke together a few times. And since I absolutely love you and your videos, and I now know I'm going to follow your show because I also love what you stand for, and what you do 💞. So first off, the reason I always start my conversations with "Wife" is because the account is in my husband's name, therefore many people think they are speaking to a man, which isn't a bad thing but..... I often use words like honey, sweetie, LOVE, and it might throw some women off a bit, especially a young beautiful woman as yourself. You might think WOW this guy is kinda creepy. I also talk to Men regarding sports (I love football, hockey, baseball etc.) and if they think their talking to another Man, they sometimes can get a little rank, you know....Guy Talk. So that's why I start each conversation with Wife, that way each person knows I'm a woman, but I do always end it with my name..... Jennifer. So I hope that clears things up for you 😉. Anyway, I LOVED the little segment on Gaston today. It's amazing to me how he glides so effortlessly with his size 😳. He moves so beautifully, so graceful. I simply love watching him.... and you (see something like THAT might sound a bit creepy coming from a Man) Anyway, once again loved watching you two today. Okay I have what might be a silly question, I don't know 🤔. First off is Gaston registered, cause if he is, then I will have answered my own question. Is it at all possible that he comes from (or has bred into him) what they call a BC Wildey..... BC obviously standing for British Columbia. Simply curious 😁. Keep doing what your doing angel 😇, I simply love it !! Turning all these diamond in the rough horses, into loved, well mannered, and trained GEMS. Thank you Shae 💜 You truly are a Guardian for horses 🐴. Blessings 🙌 Jennifer.
Thank you so much! I totally get why you say wife hahaha! I appreciate your comments and all your kind words. He is but I don’t have papers in hand. Working on it. ❤️
He’s so cool!! He’s probably my favorite out of all the horses!!😅😅 Is his trot smooth or I bit clumpy???? Can just about anyone ride him? I’ve always wanted a horse that I could just go jump on and ride!!!
He’s very smooth but has a big trot, not clunky at all! He’s forward but safe. Some of my advanced beginner students ride him. He’s amazing and also available ❤️. I have so much fun with him!
Hey from 🇨🇦 ever get a chance to catch the Royal Canadian mounted police musical ride show you may like it keep up the good work I’d like to see you do cart horse rides. Not sure if you have any interest in that, but I bet you’d be good at it. Cheers
Are you sure that the average height for canadian horses is 16hh because i've been told it's 15hh? I don't wanna sound like i know everything i'm just wondering.

Canadians are my absolute favorite breed. They’re super sweet and have such fun gaits.
@@baysalldays4882 yes!!!! The gaits are so smooth yet powerful and swift! If you know you know 🐎🖤.
He’s huge compared to mine! I adore Canadian horses so much, they’re like puppy dogs! You have a stunning mover and he’s absolutely stunning. Love the name too. Positively love what you do with your horses 💚
How many hands is yours? They are really awesome! Thank you so much 😊

I love him! He is so chill with his head low. I’m Canadian so neat to learn about our own horse breed.
He’s big, bold, and beautiful! Love watching you ride!
He sure is! Thank you ❤️

Wow thank you! I’m so glad you found me. Thanks for watching. I hope I can bring more value to you and of course horsey fun. ❤️❤️
I love watching you ride your horses! Gaston is a gorgeous boy and is so willing to please and does everything you ask. I love it. Thank you so much for sharing.
Very informative. Had horses for years and good to have refreshers and tips I didn't know. Always learn something with every horse.
Awesome thanks for watching! ❤️
Hi Shae, your narration on training stallion, Gaston, was very helpful. Your canter with him had the best rhythm and you two fit together like a glove on a hand. Nice watching that perfect symmetry!
Thank you! Gaston is a gelding though :). We had so much fun. Thanks for watching us!!
I had several Canadians and really enjoyed them. I didn’t have the skill level to meet their abilities. I wish I had.

Oh that’s funny about the dog! Lol. Yes, Gaston is a part of the program, he loves to get out and go. Thank you for your comment and watching. ❤️
He's a GEM!!
He sure is! 🖤
The sports utility of the horse world 😊
Great Gaston. Looks so fun to ride!
Thank you! He is a magical guy to ride!
Gaston and jafar are my personal favorites from your herd!
They are fun guys!!!! 🖤
Gaston is certainly one of my favourites, he is so gorgeous when he moves in trot and canter 🥰
Thank you! I feel so magnificent when I’m cantering him haha!
So glad I found you, I enjoy all your content. You make my day.
Yay!!!! Thanks for watching 💕
I'm Canadian! Go canada horse go gaston!
Waaaa hoo!!! 🇨🇦❤️🐎
Gaston is beautiful and a pleasure to watch going through his gaits. It was obvious how much you were enjoying each other :-)
Awwww thanks!!! He is such a fun mount. 🖤🖤🖤
He's such a beautiful horse!
Thanks Mindy! 🖤

Wow that’s amazing!!!!!
I would love to see you do a fairytale shoot on Gaston. His and your sizes plus the colors of your dresses would look amazing! 💜🐎
I’ve some some before! He’s so fun 🤩

Hahaha I love his fast canter 😂👏🌻
Same!! It’s a blast 💥

Great horse, great ride hopeful you will keep him longer .
He is currently available. This is what I do; it’s my mission.
Yes, I know. It just the way you talked about him I thought you want to keep him. 💖🐎💖🐎

Still can't canter my big OTTB without seeing my life flash before my eyes
That’s a beautiful horse. I live his trot. What do you do with him? Dressage?
Thank you! I do a little bit of everything with him.
@@freespiritequestrian he looks amazing

Thanks! ❤️
You and Gaston look so beautiful together.
Ahhh thank you!!! ❤️
Gaston is a big, beautiful boy in his prime, isn't he?! BTW, did you get a cool spray-down too? 😁💕
He sure is! I did not hahahaha
He’s so cool!! He’s probably my favorite out of all the horses!!😅😅 Is his trot smooth or I bit clumpy???? Can just about anyone ride him? I’ve always wanted a horse that I could just go jump on and ride!!!

He is a hunk! Haha. Thanks 😊
nice
It was fun! ❤️🤩🐎
Nice video.
Why thank you!
So handsome
Thank you 😊
How long have you been riding Shea??
A long time :). Just over 20 years.
Are you sure that the average height for canadian horses is 16hh because i've been told it's 15hh? I don't wanna sound like i know everything i'm just wondering.
It’s between 14-16hh. He’s within the breed standard that’s what I’m saying…
Is he the biggest horse
Hi❤️😁😀👍
Hi ❤️🐎
l like see. You do
Let's make a horse farm together
I already have one lol
@@freespiritequestrian ok let me work there then. :)
Another good video. Was that today ? Hot hot 🔥
Thank you! Oh no it was a couple days ago! Videos take about 4-10 hours to make so to film, edit, and upload in the same day is rare.
