So much to say! All I want to say is good things come to those who wait and man I’m happy I follow my intuition sometimes lol. This truly is a dream come true! An iconic horse for myself/Kyle eventually etc. he is something that is very special and I don’t plan to sell him. I have many plans and dreams to make with him! Update video will be out when I get some time. I am so happy and I love how amazing all of you horse lovers are too! This really is a big moment and a present to myself for Christmas haha 😂. Oh a few of you said you can’t find the link to the store so here is is: thespiritedhorseboutique.com/
Shae, what lipstick and gloss ate you wearing? I'm trying to decide on a purchase...Merry Christmas and Congratulations on your beautiful new family member!
I did not initially know that Light the Way was his registered name... I thought 'Hercules' would be a perfect barn name for him. But Lumiere is so apropos!
Ladybug, you're living my dream. Turning 80 tomorrow and I've loved horses my entire life. Your videos brighten my day and fill my spirit with joy. Your four legged friends are blessed to have you. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us.❤ LilCat .
His barn name should be "Lumière" (from Beuty & the Beast) and Lumi for short. Goes perfect with "Light The Way" Congratulations on bring this gorgeous baby home. 🎉❤
As someone who is 70 yearsold and has had her dream horse who passed away at the age of 30 a few years ago, and who is looking for another horse to be with me in my old(er) age, I was in tears, watching you on this horse. Bless you on this journey. It will be amazing.
This horse is a huge investment for you. I was surprised to hear you say you would keep him "forever"! He is a "special gift-to yourself" Not typically what you get to "move along" He IS spectacular!!! SO exciting for you!!
I am so excited for you! David Davis is known throughout the state of Indiana as one of THE most proficient and kind trainers whose horses are top performers. Not to mention he's just an amazing man! You are in for a real treat with your absolutely perfect new baby!
Judging from Light The Way, his reputation is well deserved. I had not heard of him until Shea's visit. I'm guessing that he doesn't need to advertise, area horse people know of him by reputation.
Let's talk about how AWESOME of a husband that Kyle is. Shae, you are sooo blessed...as he is with you. Such an awesome couple, always working together to reach your dreams.💕 Just love your channel...a breath of fresh air. What a simply gorgeous buckskin! Almost like he was created just for you. Since your farm is your dream farm...Free Spirit Equestrian, I agree with others..."Spirit" is the perfect name for your dream horse. My oh my, that mane and all that feathering!!! You must have to pinch yourself, to make sure you aren't dreaming.🥰
Kyle, I have the utmost Respect for you in Supporting Shae's Dream at Free Spirit Equestrian 🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎. You Both put in the Work and I believe that you Two Are meant to be. It's going to be great watching you bond with this Beautiful Buckskin. Trail Riding on him will be a Fun Experience. 😂
It's hard to believe a horse like this even exists. It was meant to be for sure. I'm so happy for you. He is absolutely magical! I started watching your videos a couple months ago and I love every one I've seen. I think You're an excellent horsewoman and I enjoy all of your content. I can't wait to see how much fun you have with him. Kyle is so helpful and handy too! Best wishes to you.
Light the Way is in one word, GORGEOUS! I love him already. He moves so well. I can see why you have been dreaming about him, Shae. He checks every box on you desires wish list! And yes, please buy him. He is perfect for all the reasons you expressed and he belongs at Free Spirit Equestrian Farm. He will Light The Way for you and Kyle in many ways. I look forward to seeing whether Ezzy’s coat will hold more buckskin coloring as she matures or will the grey take over? A deserved Christmas gift to FSE Farm. ❤️❤️❤️
When you said his registered name is “Light The Way” after sharing that Kyle installed a lighted trailer plug, I KNEW this gelding was meant to be yours.
Shea, He is STUNNING! David, his trainer, is a wonderful, loving trainer. The relationship between David and this horse is amazing! He’s cared for him, and invested in him all his love and attention. Indeed, a very special horse! With two very special trainers and owners who truly appreciate and cherish and honor these majestic animals, helping them to become their best selfs, living out their best lives! Merry Christmas, Shea and Kyle! Welcome, LightsAway! ❤️🐎
I noticed that as well. David is indeed a remarkably good horse trainer. Good fortune has smiled on Light The Way; he was bought by another good and kind horse trainer.
What a beautiful and powerful horse! I know this is a novice question but why would someone geld such a beautiful and gentle horse? His offspring would have such a great heritage
Not everyone wants to get a horse for the sake of profit, that's why? As much as I don't like the idea of castrating animals, not everyone likes it when stallions do stallion things.
Oh my lord he is quite literally the most STUNNING horse I've ever seen!!! He has every quality of my own dream horse, stocky build, long mane and feathers, beautiful movement and his colour is just WOW! Huge huge congrats! I'm so excited to see more of him
@@bonnieplattner3094 Was wondering why he was gelded also. Jagged Edge Stallion Services posted on Facebook 9/23/2021 had him standing for first time in 2022 so maybe there are some offspring.🤞
I thought Light the Way was impressive when I first saw him on your video, but when you took his braids out, WOW! That mane and tail!! He is such a dream horse! I'm so happy you decided to go and see this horse, Shae! I hope you and Kyle enjoy him for many years. 🎉🤩🐎
When I first saw Light the Way, I thought he was totally stunning; in great shape, and an obvious willing to please. When the braids and tail were combed out (and yours too), I was smitten with that beautiful horse. I said, " If you don't buy him, I will (lol). I am so glad you bought him. I screamed and clapped my hands. (neighbors thought I was watching football, or something (lol). I truly look forward to seeing you and Light the Way together in many videos to come. He is truly a beauty. Enjoy him for many, many years to come. Happy holidays. The perfect gift for you ( and Light the Way).
OMG Shae he’s a beauty, that mane wow and forelock wow, I wouldn’t be surprised if you name him Spirit, is that a Disney name?, Merry Christmas to you, Kyle and all your beautiful horses, dog and little piggy, and a very happy new year too, tfs x Julie 🇬🇧
He literally reminds me of my best horse ever! A Shire, Quarter Horse cross, 16.2 hh, size 3 custom made draft shoes, competion endurance horse, cow horse, trail horse, what ever I asked him to do - he did!!! The most beautiful shade of Buckskin, feathered feet from the knees down, mane & tail to die for! He was also a stud until he was 10 yrs old, passed away from old age over 30 years old! Never had another partner like him!! He was 1 in a Billion!!!
How lucky you were to have had such a wonderful horse and he had a long life. I'm happy for you. Hope you get to ride him again when you join him in heaven.❤
Oh Shae ... you found your dream horse at last!!! He is absolutely gorgeous and seems perfect in every way!! I'm so happy for you and your future ahead with him! I'm also looking forward to finding out the name you choose for this stunning beauty! Congratulations and Merry Christmas to you, Kyle and your amazing family of horses and fur babies!! You are appreciated and loved by so many! ❤🎄🎀🙏❤
Kyle!! Have we said how Amazing of a husband you are? And we know you have an Amazing wife so that makes it easier. THANK YOU for supporting Shae and being an Awesome example of what all us women need in our lives from a man! Solid Dude! We appreciate you!
@@freespiritequestrian so sorry I get stallions and gelding confused at times. But congratulations on the new member I started watching you when Bell was pregnant with Esmeralda Bell pregnancy was amazing I’m so proud of her and Esmeralda how much you work with them I can’t wait to see the training with Light the way he is just magnificent. :)
Congratulations! He is magnificent! Sweet, too. All your horses are pretty, but this boy is not just a riding steed, but a model. I can see him featuring heavily in your photos for your bridles, lipsticks, etc. Enjoy your new friend, and I look forward to videos of your adventures with this gorgeous fella. ❤
You made my Christmas!! you said early on in the video that you didn’t know how you talked Kyle into this trip… Honey, that man loves you! There are so few like him out there that’s for sure. I don’t know that much about horses but I’m learning. And I’m so happy that you found Light the Way and are so excited about it. Merry Christmas!❤
My husband always says: Patience is all the Strength you need. Having been with you through auction after auction where the horse that had already taken a place in your heart failed to make an appearance, I felt your sadness. I am thankful now, at Christmas, to see the joy arrive and share that with you too. I can't wait to see your heart connection with this beautiful horse unfold. Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year!
Oh My goodness, he's gorgeous, but you've earned him. I didn't buy my dream horse(wish I did) but I bought my dream dog. She is a rare Red Golden Retriever. I hunted down her breeder and saw her being born. She is going to be my service dog because I'm legally blind. Her Sire and Dam are national obedience and search and rescue dogs. At first I was going to name her Vivid because her dark mahogany coat is so beautiful. But I was sitting one night and thought "Treasure" her register name is Sunlights Sublime Treasure. And she was a big financial investment but I don't regret it for one minute. But don't forget Belle Ezzy and Ariel. Belle my dream horse, and futures dressage horse.😅
Oh. My. Soul. Gorgeous does not begin to describe him. I am so glad you bought him. I always get teary eyed when I see good and kind people buying horses because their fate is definitely out of their control and to know they are going to a kind home always just brings me to tears because they could have not been so lucky. He looks super sweet natured. I know that you are going to love him, which is exactly what they all deserve.
Ahhhhh! You got a horse?!?!?! I’m soooo excited! He’s definitely in good hands. Omg I need to see him now!! Gypsy vanner?? That’s my favorite breed! Definitely a dream breed. And omg is he gorgeous! You’re so lucky! His “roll over” is so adorable 🥺 Edit: woah 1k+ comments?? Thank you guys for boosting this up enough so that I don’t get lost in all these comments!
He is freaking drop dead gorgeous!!!! Congratulations on finding the "one". I want to also thank you for being a shining light in/for the equestrian community. I have learned so much about horses, riding, what it means to be a responsible equestrian and you, especially you, all from your videos. I could go on and on lol. The pureness of your heart and spirit is monumentally apparent...love, it's all about love in all that you do Thanks again for being you.
He is the most GORGEOUS horse I have ever seen. Absolutely stunning and looks like he came straight out of a fairy tale. Even though he was just started under saddle this year, you can tell just how kind and loving David has been towards him. His demeanor and personality is so kind and gentle. So willing to please and do what is asked of him. I can't wait to see his journey at FSE. Congratulations Shae and Kyle!
It is nice to have a husband that does handy work. And the horse you bought is gorgeously beautiful. That is a Christmas gift that will never be forgotten
Oh my goodness!!! Congratulations on finding this outstanding horse! I'm totally with you on buckskins, always been my fav, and this gorgeous chunky hunk ticks all the boxes for me as well. So very happy for you and Lights The Way. Wishing you, Kyle, and all the fur babies a wonderful Christmas and a healthy, happy, and fortuitous New Year. Cheers!
Shae, I am so thrilled for you to have found your dream horse! He is an absolutely gorgeous buckskin, with that mane and tail and feathers (black in front, white on the hind legs)! I love the way he moves, too, and the way you and he both looked while riding together. You and Kyle make such a great team and couple. Twelve hour round trip drive is grueling, but what a reward to be able to purchase this horse. Wishing you and Kyle and very Merry Christmas and a wonderful new year in 2024!
Oh Shae. How absolutely wonderful. Like another person said, first let's talk about that husband of yours, Kyle. You are absolutely blessed. He agreed to drive 12 his round trip because he truly loves you. It touched my heart. This horse is absolutely gorgeous. I believe you made the right decision. He appears to have a great mind, great personality, and solid foundation on training so far. Love the kind trainer that was working with him. You are totally skilled to take this horse to the next level and he has the size for Kyle to ride at some point. I think there is a strong possibility you will keep this one permanently. Time will tell. You and Kyle, keep loving each other. Love the lipstick you had on. Thanks for mentioning the color. Christmas blessings to both you and Kyle. You are good people!
OMGosh!!!! Shae!! I’m 😭! This is absolutely INCREDIBLE!!!! And his name - Light the Way - are you kidding me?!?! This was CLEARLY meant to be. A blessing from God for sure! 🙏 Did I forget to say…he’s absolutely GORGEOUS!!!! I’m SOOOO happy for you guys! ❤️ Can’t wait to see him on your farm. But one thing- please…don’t let him eat out of that hay shed cover thing. 😉
WHY DID I BURST INTO TEARS AS SOON AS I SAW HIM??? 😭❤️❤❤ What a beautiful and special spirit he is, I literally couldn't stop crying happy tears while you were riding him! Gosh I'm so excited to see what you do together in the future ❤ CONGRATULATIONS!!! ❤
I think he has a lot of potential. He's very sensible for a horse that was just gelded and recently broke. He is well mannered and, as a bonus, he's absolutely gorgeous. ❤
Light the way! What an appropriate name for this gorgeous horse! Maybe you can name him a similar term for "Light"? Lumiere? He is definitely a "light being"! 👏Kudos to Kyle👍 for keeping you and the horses safe--especially in the horse trailer! It does seem like safety first when he's checking the property!🐎
Absolute dreamhorse, and also he is coming from a good home and trainer, so nice to see how proud David is about the horsey! His movements are amazing, you will make a great team, he is worth every penny! You are full of joy riding him and he matches your mane! 😉Merry Christmas to all of you!
WOW - that horse is freaking GORGEOUS! Kinda got a little choked up at the end. I am so glad you waited. THIS was meant to be! Also, you scored in the husband department. Kyle is always there for you. The two of you balance one another out so beautifully, it's so nice to watch. You both are so blessed with everything you have. Your new horse couldn't have gone to a better home. Oh, and I'm anxiously awaiting my Piaff Plum to arrive. It's a good day!
He looks like what I imagine as a war horse - formidable and relyable. It was a perfect decision to let your hair down after removing his braids. You DO look stately on him. I’m from Hawaii where you’d see pa’u riders - and you’d be at the front of the parade! Pa'u riders (pronounced pah-oo riders), are wahine (Hawaiian for 'women') horseback riders who wear long, colorful skirts (Hawaiian: pāʻū) and ... -- feel free to google it so you can see what I mean. Well done, you! And Kyle too - he’s a keeper. Aloha
Am I the only one who thinks it’s crazy how this video was posted one day ago and has 11k likes!!! Like how that’s amazing keep up the good work and love y’all can’t watch this horse journey on free spirit equestrian! ❤❤❤
What a handsome fella you've found yourself. Between him and Kyle you have the best of both worlds, right? A partner who is handy with things mechanical is such a blessing to a household. Your new horse friend reminds me of those big horses you admired at the auction but this one doesn't dwarf you. He looks like he'd be fun for riding through snow.
Girl I love watching this beautiful story unfold!!! I am a hairdresser and been busting my butt all week for the holidays at work … I am finally taken my break and I literally am crying eating my lunch at 6 pm !!! I am so happy for you ! I feel like it’s Christmas morning!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Congratulations Shae, he is absolutely magnificent. You have hit the jackpot between Belle, Esmerelda, Arial and now this boy. Can't wait to see him running with the rest of your horses.
Wow Shae, Light the Way is stunning. I thought Belle was a beauty, but this horse is beyond words. His mane is breathtaking. You are so very lucky. I'm so happy and excited for you and can't wait to watch your journey. You are absolutely right about Kyle. He is a real jewel. ❤❤
He likes you- no bale barn for him!! Gorgeous horse and glad to hear he’s just been started. He rode better with you than the trainer. Great addition Kyle and Shea!
“Light the Way” is one blessed boy to be joining the Free Spirit Equestrian family. What a majestic, magnificent boy and I have tears of joy for you Shea and Kyle 😅 Your patience, perseverance and incredible discerning eye has brought you all together and I wish you all the best on the exciting journey that awaits you. I’m so thrilled and grateful to tag along 🤗via YT. God bless you always and wishing you a very Merry Christmas !!! 🐎❤🎄❤🐎
I’m so beyond excited and happy for you, Shae!!! He truly is a magical horse❤️. Something out of a fairytale ❤️🎄🌹 I’ve never seen anything like him!!! A Spirit horse come to life🙏🏼🥰💯AND A Buckskin with all the frills of a Vanner!!His mane, tale, feathers!!! Congratulations Shae❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Absolutely wonderful. I am happy for you. The man you bought him from did a stunning work with him. He seemed to be very kindhearted in the way he treated him.
Wow I think your fans here will all agree this horse took our breath away when we saw him. Especially when you rode him with his mane out. I couldn’t take my eyes off his feathers!!! Congrats!!
Shay this is amazing! When I heard u say what breed this horse is my draw dropped! Those three horse are beautiful! I love how you haven’t given up after not being able to find a horse at any of the auctions you’ve gone to. I can’t even amazing what it felt like to ride that beauty! Your lipstick looks fabulous as always!❤
He is the prettiest horse I’ve ever seen!!! 🤩🤩🤩 i literally screamed when you said you bought him! I’m so proud of how far you’ve come Shae. Here’s a name idea, because his registered name is Light The Way, you could name him Buz Lightyear and call him Buz 🥰 just an idea. Welcome to the farm Light the Way!!!! ❤😆
What a stunning buckskin, Shae!! I'm so happy for you!! Can't wait for your name reveal of him!! Merry Christmas to you and Kyle and to all your subscribers. I wish everyone a safe Holiday Season!! Your friend, the Retired Paramedic and Horse Trainer, on baby watch, we now have a filly and a colt standing and nursing well. Both momma's are doing fine!! From Ontario, Canada, Jenn 💖 🇨🇦
You KNOW you're gonna call him Spirit. What a stunning boy! He's going to be such a great addition to the Free Spirit herd. Jiminy is going to be SOOOO jealous!😂❤ Merry Christmas Shae!
I know you already have a Beauty and the Beast horse, but I think 'Lumiere' would be perfect! Fits with his registered name and all that 😉 Congrats to you!
Wow, he is so beautiful! You and he look great together and Kyle is going to look great riding him too someday! A perfect fit! I'm glad you didn't have to bid against other people to get him but instead you could just buy him outright! Light the Way and his previous owner are very fortunate to have their beautiful boy going to such an amazing home where he will be so well taken care of all of his life! I'm looking forward to seeing him meet his new family and settle in at his new home. Such a wonderful Christmas story and I'm so happy for you!
He is so beautiful, and with a sweet personality! Maybe Spirit as a barn name? Not only because of Spirit the character but also to celebrate the spirit of Christmas. I like the trainer who had been working with him. He seemed to really enjoy working with Light the Way, and he was willing to share his knowledge. Merry Christmas Shae and Kyle! Congratulations on your new addition to the Free Spirit family!
Oh my goodness!!! What a gorgeous horse. The mane and tail and him! Wow. You two were meant to be. He is a special boy! I’m so happy for you Shea. You and Kyle. Thank you Kyle for taking care of this special lady. And helping her in so many ways. I so live vicariously through you Shea. Love you bunches and thanks for sharing your life.
This is so incredible! What a Christmas gift for all of us! My spirits have definitely been lifted by this video. I definitely needed this like so many others. What a an absolutely gorgeous horse! You and the Free Spirit family are always in my prayers! Merry Christmas to you and all horse lovers!!🎄!!❤❤
He’s stunning!! I’m so happy you found this beautiful boy and made a connection!❤ It’s almost sad that he’s gelded, could you imagine the babies him and Bella could’ve had! 🤯 😂❤ Happy Holidays to everyone Free Spirit Equestrian!🎉
My goodness, what a gorgeous horse! His feathering is so beautiful.. I absolutely adore horses where their front legs are black, and their back legs have socks! His mane is so huge, oh my gosh!! He'll be a perfect Kyle horse in the future. I'm so happy for you, too! Good things come to those who wait. After looking for a horse for ages, you've finally found an amazing draft, and I'm so glad! As someone who loves draft horses, he's so perfect, beautiful, sound enough to ride, young, tall but not huge, and such a kind soul! He'll be such a great new addition to the farm ❤ Happy Holidays, Shae!!
Wow! The mane is magnificent when combed out! What a sweet soul!! He is a gorgeous color and his stature is so solid. Those feathered feet - mmm-mmm. He’s striking, Shae!! Congrats on your beautiful new free spirit!!
OMG, he is absolutely Drop Dead gorgeous! Buckskin is my all time favorite coat color; my own horse was a buckskin pinto. What a fantastic Christmas gift to give to yourself. I can't wait to see him in his upcoming videos and training. Congratulations. And a big thanks and hug to Kyle for everything he does for you. He is simply the best. ❤
This Horse is Stunning! 🐎 He’s going to look Ah-Mazing at your Farm too! And his personality is so sweet n kind. 💕 Kyle you are a saint! We see you really, really love Shae that you would drive her 6 hours just to see this horse, and we thank God for it! 😁 Happy Blessed Christmas Shae, Kyle and all your fur babies at Free Spirit Equestrian. 📯🐴🌟
I wonder why they chose not to breed him. He is a beautiful horse. Could you imagine him and Belle having babies? Talk about the dream horse though, seriously. He is BEAUTIFUL. Grats on your Christmas present Shae!
I had to Google this breed since I have never heard of it. I'm glad to see a breed that is bringing back some heavier bone into the horse breed. He certainly supports a lot of the characteristics of this breed so I'm sure your dollar was well spent as you certainly got a quality purchase. Congratulations on your new purchase. Now you have 4 feathered breeds in your barn. However, I think your new horse is the king of the feathers in your barn!
So much to say! All I want to say is good things come to those who wait and man I’m happy I follow my intuition sometimes lol. This truly is a dream come true! An iconic horse for myself/Kyle eventually etc. he is something that is very special and I don’t plan to sell him. I have many plans and dreams to make with him! Update video will be out when I get some time. I am so happy and I love how amazing all of you horse lovers are too! This really is a big moment and a present to myself for Christmas haha 😂.

Yes!
Congratulations! He is gorgeous and such a good boy! ❤ I'm so happy for you that you found your dream horse.
Please answer to my other comment
With a registered name like Light the Way, Lumiere would be such an appropriate barn name! He's gorgeous!!! 😍 Congratulations!
Love it! ❤
Yes!
I did not initially know that Light the Way was his registered name... I thought 'Hercules' would be a perfect barn name for him. But Lumiere is so apropos!
You nailed it!
Or in the same vein, LUX!
Heartfelt Thank You to Kyle for his endless loving support and participation in helping Shae make Dreams Come True. You're a beautiful soul Kyle.
Totally Agree!!!

Absolutely ❤❤❤
I agree 💯 😃👍
Yes 🥰👍🏻

Hey I know she is just the best happy birthday
I know he's been gelded, but could you imagine a foal by him with Belle? OMG!
His barn name should be "Lumière" (from Beuty & the Beast) and Lumi for short. Goes perfect with "Light The Way" Congratulations on bring this gorgeous baby home. 🎉❤

How about Beacon for your new horses name? Beacon like on a lighthouse lighting the way for ships
Shae, you and Light the way are just magical. ❤❤
So very happy for you, and him! Spectacular in every way! ❤❤❤❤
That horse is beautiful ❤

There are lots of horses with great heritage gracing dinner plates.
Not everyone wants to get a horse for the sake of profit, that's why? As much as I don't like the idea of castrating animals, not everyone likes it when stallions do stallion things.
What a find Shae! Congratulations! I have never seen a buckskin with feathers before. Very gorgeous.
Oh my lord he is quite literally the most STUNNING horse I've ever seen!!! He has every quality of my own dream horse, stocky build, long mane and feathers, beautiful movement and his colour is just WOW! Huge huge congrats! I'm so excited to see more of him
Yes, if you can afford him...BUY HIM!!!
He's just STUNNING! CAN'T BELIEVE THEY GELDED HIM!
Me either. 😢wonder why?
@@bonnieplattner3094 Was wondering why he was gelded also. Jagged Edge Stallion Services posted on Facebook 9/23/2021 had him standing for first time in 2022 so maybe there are some offspring.🤞

It'll be about 3-4 years before she lets Kyle enjoy him.
It'll depend on how well he advances in his training and Shae will know when he's ready for Kyle and vice/ versa.
When I first saw Light the Way, I thought he was totally stunning; in great shape, and an obvious willing to please. When the braids and tail were combed out (and yours too), I was smitten with that beautiful horse. I said, " If you don't buy him, I will (lol). I am so glad you bought him.

He is truly a beauty. Enjoy him for many, many years to come. Happy holidays. The perfect gift for you ( and Light the Way).
What a stunningly beautiful horse. Great choice. And what a blessing Kyle is. 😊
OMG Shae he’s a beauty, that mane wow and forelock wow, I wouldn’t be surprised if you name him Spirit, is that a Disney name?, Merry Christmas to you, Kyle and all your beautiful horses, dog and little piggy, and a very happy new year too, tfs x Julie 🇬🇧
Yes!! What Julie said!! Congrats!!!
Spirit is dreamworks. But it might be nice to step away from the Disney for something new
He literally reminds me of my best horse ever! A Shire, Quarter Horse cross, 16.2 hh, size 3 custom made draft shoes, competion endurance horse, cow horse, trail horse, what ever I asked him to do - he did!!! The most beautiful shade of Buckskin, feathered feet from the knees down, mane & tail to die for! He was also a stud until he was 10 yrs old, passed away from old age over 30 years old!
Never had another partner like him!! He was 1 in a Billion!!!
How lucky you were to have had such a wonderful horse and he had a long life. I'm happy for you. Hope you get to ride him again when you join him in heaven.❤
Your patience in choosing a new horse has paid off enormously. What a beauty!! I bet viewers will flock to watch him develop.🐎😍
Oh Shae ... you found your dream horse at last!!! He is absolutely gorgeous and seems perfect in every way!! I'm so happy for you and your future ahead with him! I'm also looking forward to finding out the name you choose for this stunning beauty! Congratulations and Merry Christmas to you, Kyle and your amazing family of horses and fur babies!! You are appreciated and loved by so many! ❤🎄🎀🙏❤
Kyle!! Have we said how Amazing of a husband you are? And we know you have an Amazing wife so that makes it easier. THANK YOU for supporting Shae and being an Awesome example of what all us women need in our lives from a man! Solid Dude! We appreciate you!
What a beautiful stallion I love drifters a lot they are just so beautiful and majestical
If you guys don’t have this name for him you guys should call him Spirit
He’s not a stallion :)
@@freespiritequestrian so sorry I get stallions and gelding confused at times. But congratulations on the new member I started watching you when Bell was pregnant with Esmeralda Bell pregnancy was amazing I’m so proud of her and Esmeralda how much you work with them I can’t wait to see the training with Light the way he is just magnificent. :)
@@freespiritequestrianwhat breed is it?
Congratulations! He is magnificent! Sweet, too. All your horses are pretty, but this boy is not just a riding steed, but a model. I can see him featuring heavily in your photos for your bridles, lipsticks, etc. Enjoy your new friend, and I look forward to videos of your adventures with this gorgeous fella. ❤
You made my Christmas!! you said early on in the video that you didn’t know how you talked Kyle into this trip… Honey, that man loves you! There are so few like him out there that’s for sure. I don’t know that much about horses but I’m learning. And I’m so happy that you found Light the Way and are so excited about it. Merry Christmas!❤
Buy him so he gets s good home with someone who will take good care of him & make sure he never suffers.
Light the Way? Call him Lumiere! He deserves a fancy name and it is in keeping with your Disney theme.
My husband always says: Patience is all the Strength you need. Having been with you through auction after auction where the horse that had already taken a place in your heart failed to make an appearance, I felt your sadness. I am thankful now, at Christmas, to see the joy arrive and share that with you too. I can't wait to see your heart connection with this beautiful horse unfold. Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year!
Oh My goodness, he's gorgeous, but you've earned him. I didn't buy my dream horse(wish I did) but I bought my dream dog. She is a rare Red Golden Retriever. I hunted down her breeder and saw her being born. She is going to be my service dog because I'm legally blind. Her Sire and Dam are national obedience and search and rescue dogs. At first I was going to name her Vivid because her dark mahogany coat is so beautiful. But I was sitting one night and thought "Treasure" her register name is Sunlights Sublime Treasure. And she was a big financial investment but I don't regret it for one minute. But don't forget Belle Ezzy and Ariel. Belle my dream horse, and futures dressage horse.😅
Oh. My. Soul. Gorgeous does not begin to describe him. I am so glad you bought him. I always get teary eyed when I see good and kind people buying horses because their fate is definitely out of their control and to know they are going to a kind home always just brings me to tears because they could have not been so lucky. He looks super sweet natured. I know that you are going to love him, which is exactly what they all deserve.
Ahhhhh! You got a horse?!?!?! I’m soooo excited! He’s definitely in good hands. Omg I need to see him now!! Gypsy vanner?? That’s my favorite breed! Definitely a dream breed. And omg is he gorgeous! You’re so lucky! His “roll over” is so adorable 🥺
Edit: woah 1k+ comments?? Thank you guys for boosting this up enough so that I don’t get lost in all these comments!
Lumi is absolutely magnificent. One of the most beautiful horses I have ever seen. I am glad you bought him.
Kyle is such a great guy and so very capable and helpful. Despite all your gorgeous horses, Kyle is your best pick hands down.
Well said fellow viewer! I bet she didn't find him at an auction!😂😂😂
Honestly, you were not likely to find a horse like him at auction. Your connection is amazing.
He is freaking drop dead gorgeous!!!! Congratulations on finding the "one". I want to also thank you for being a shining light in/for the equestrian community. I have learned so much about horses, riding, what it means to be a responsible equestrian and you, especially you, all from your videos. I could go on and on lol. The pureness of your heart and spirit is monumentally apparent...love, it's all about love in all that you do
Thanks again for being you.
He is the most GORGEOUS horse I have ever seen. Absolutely stunning and looks like he came straight out of a fairy tale. Even though he was just started under saddle this year, you can tell just how kind and loving David has been towards him. His demeanor and personality is so kind and gentle. So willing to please and do what is asked of him. I can't wait to see his journey at FSE. Congratulations Shae and Kyle!
It is nice to have a husband that does handy work. And the horse you bought is gorgeously beautiful. That is a Christmas gift that will never be forgotten
He is absolute eye candy, congratulations. Don't let that mane anywhere near your hay barns lol. I think we may all cry if it gets destroyed.
Already have a solution ❤️
Oh my goodness!!! Congratulations on finding this outstanding horse! I'm totally with you on buckskins, always been my fav, and this gorgeous chunky hunk ticks all the boxes for me as well. So very happy for you and Lights The Way. Wishing you, Kyle, and all the fur babies a wonderful Christmas and a healthy, happy, and fortuitous New Year. Cheers!
Shae, I am so thrilled for you to have found your dream horse! He is an absolutely gorgeous buckskin, with that mane and tail and feathers (black in front, white on the hind legs)! I love the way he moves, too, and the way you and he both looked while riding together. You and Kyle make such a great team and couple. Twelve hour round trip drive is grueling, but what a reward to be able to purchase this horse. Wishing you and Kyle and very Merry Christmas and a wonderful new year in 2024!
Hope You And Kyle Have The Most Blessed And Best Christmas, Ever!!!
😇
🙏🏻
Absolutely gorgeous horse! That mane! He looks so comfortable to ride, a gentle giant, in the UK we would describe his colour as Dun 🐴❤
Oh Shae. How absolutely wonderful. Like another person said, first let's talk about that husband of yours, Kyle. You are absolutely blessed. He agreed to drive 12 his round trip because he truly loves you. It touched my heart. This horse is absolutely gorgeous. I believe you made the right decision. He appears to have a great mind, great personality, and solid foundation on training so far. Love the kind trainer that was working with him. You are totally skilled to take this horse to the next level and he has the size for Kyle to ride at some point. I think there is a strong possibility you will keep this one permanently. Time will tell. You and Kyle, keep loving each other. Love the lipstick you had on. Thanks for mentioning the color. Christmas blessings to both you and Kyle. You are good people!
OMGosh!!!! Shae!! I’m 😭! This is absolutely INCREDIBLE!!!! And his name - Light the Way - are you kidding me?!?! This was CLEARLY meant to be. A blessing from God for sure! 🙏
Did I forget to say…he’s absolutely GORGEOUS!!!! I’m SOOOO happy for you guys! ❤️ Can’t wait to see him on your farm. But one thing- please…don’t let him eat out of that hay shed cover thing. 😉
Why did they geld him? Nice symmetrical walk, very balanced trot. Counterbent at times but fixable. They all love you , Shae! Get him insured.❤❤❤❤❤
WHY DID I BURST INTO TEARS AS SOON AS I SAW HIM??? 😭❤️❤❤ What a beautiful and special spirit he is, I literally couldn't stop crying happy tears while you were riding him! Gosh I'm so excited to see what you do together in the future ❤ CONGRATULATIONS!!! ❤
I think he has a lot of potential. He's very sensible for a horse that was just gelded and recently broke. He is well mannered and, as a bonus, he's absolutely gorgeous. ❤
Light the way! What an appropriate name for this gorgeous horse! Maybe you can name him a similar term for "Light"? Lumiere? He is definitely a "light being"! 👏Kudos to Kyle👍 for keeping you and the horses safe--especially in the horse trailer! It does seem like safety first when he's checking the property!🐎
Absolute dreamhorse, and also he is coming from a good home and trainer, so nice to see how proud David is about the horsey! His movements are amazing, you will make a great team, he is worth every penny! You are full of joy riding him and he matches your mane! 😉Merry Christmas to all of you!
WOW - that horse is freaking GORGEOUS! Kinda got a little choked up at the end. I am so glad you waited. THIS was meant to be!
Also, you scored in the husband department. Kyle is always there for you. The two of you balance one another out so beautifully, it's so nice to watch. You both are so blessed with everything you have. Your new horse couldn't have gone to a better home. Oh, and I'm anxiously awaiting my Piaff Plum to arrive. It's a good day!
You and Kyle are wonderful together. So glad you can share your life and dreams. ❤ What an amazing conformation and color on this boy.
He looks like what I imagine as a war horse - formidable and relyable. It was a perfect decision to let your hair down after removing his braids. You DO look stately on him. I’m from Hawaii where you’d see pa’u riders - and you’d be at the front of the parade!
Pa'u riders (pronounced pah-oo riders), are wahine (Hawaiian for 'women') horseback riders who wear long, colorful skirts (Hawaiian: pāʻū) and ...
-- feel free to google it so you can see what I mean. Well done, you! And Kyle too - he’s a keeper. Aloha
I googled the pictures and read a bit of the history. Beautiful! I learned something today thank you.
I wonder why the owner decided not to breed him. He is so ultimate, my gosh.
Am I the only one who thinks it’s crazy how this video was posted one day ago and has 11k likes!!! Like how that’s amazing keep up the good work and love y’all can’t watch this horse journey on free spirit equestrian! ❤❤❤
What a handsome fella you've found yourself. Between him and Kyle you have the best of both worlds, right? A partner who is handy with things mechanical is such a blessing to a household. Your new horse friend reminds me of those big horses you admired at the auction but this one doesn't dwarf you. He looks like he'd be fun for riding through snow.
Girl I love watching this beautiful story unfold!!! I am a hairdresser and been busting my butt all week for the holidays at work … I am finally taken my break and I literally am crying eating my lunch at 6 pm !!! I am so happy for you ! I feel like it’s Christmas morning!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️
He’s gorgeous his mane reminds me of Simba’s from The Lion King ❤
All I can say is WOWZA, Shae! He was worth the wait!!!!! Your new boy is going to love is bitless bridle!!!! 💖
Congratulations Shae, he is absolutely magnificent. You have hit the jackpot between Belle, Esmerelda, Arial and now this boy. Can't wait to see him running with the rest of your horses.
He is a dazzling display of a gallant Steed ❣️❣️❤️🥰🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
Wow Shae, Light the Way is stunning. I thought Belle was a beauty, but this horse is beyond words. His mane is breathtaking. You are so very lucky. I'm so happy and excited for you and can't wait to watch your journey. You are absolutely right about Kyle. He is a real jewel. ❤❤
He likes you- no bale barn for him!! Gorgeous horse and glad to hear he’s just been started. He rode better with you than the trainer. Great addition Kyle and Shea!
No bale barn for him, exactly what I thought when his mane was down. 😅
He's like a Zeus!! So Beautiful!❤❤❤Blessings and Peace To You All
“Light the Way” is one blessed boy to be joining the Free Spirit Equestrian family. What a majestic, magnificent boy and I have tears of joy for you Shea and Kyle 😅 Your patience, perseverance and incredible discerning eye has brought you all together and I wish you all the best on the exciting journey that awaits you. I’m so thrilled and grateful to tag along 🤗via YT. God bless you always and wishing you a very Merry Christmas !!!
🐎❤🎄❤🐎
I’m so beyond excited and happy for you, Shae!!! He truly is a magical horse❤️. Something out of a fairytale ❤️🎄🌹 I’ve never seen anything like him!!! A Spirit horse come to life🙏🏼🥰💯AND A Buckskin with all the frills of a Vanner!!His mane, tale, feathers!!! Congratulations Shae❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Absolutely wonderful. I am happy for you. The man you bought him from did a stunning work with him. He seemed to be very kindhearted in the way he treated him.
Congratulations!! I’m so excited for the two of you. What a beautiful horse. Looking forward to seeing him on the farm.
Wow I think your fans here will all agree this horse took our breath away when we saw him. Especially when you rode him with his mane out. I couldn’t take my eyes off his feathers!!! Congrats!!
Light the Way is so beautiful and is the right time to bright a Christmas tree for Christmas day! ❤
Shay this is amazing! When I heard u say what breed this horse is my draw dropped! Those three horse are beautiful! I love how you haven’t given up after not being able to find a horse at any of the auctions you’ve gone to. I can’t even amazing what it felt like to ride that beauty! Your lipstick looks fabulous as always!❤
He is the prettiest horse I’ve ever seen!!! 🤩🤩🤩 i literally screamed when you said you bought him! I’m so proud of how far you’ve come Shae. Here’s a name idea, because his registered name is Light The Way, you could name him Buz Lightyear and call him Buz 🥰 just an idea. Welcome to the farm Light the Way!!!! ❤😆
That's a Kristoff !!!! Awesome Disney character
"Kristoff inspires trust from those who meet him. He’s straightforward and honest,"
I was feeling so down today, but seeing you buy this genuine and beautiful boy has lit up my day, so ……Lumiere it is for me!!
OMG! Lumiere is perfect 👌
What a stunning buckskin, Shae!! I'm so happy for you!! Can't wait for your name reveal of him!! Merry Christmas to you and Kyle and to all your subscribers. I wish everyone a safe Holiday Season!! Your friend, the Retired Paramedic and Horse Trainer, on baby watch, we now have a filly and a colt standing and nursing well. Both momma's are doing fine!! From Ontario, Canada, Jenn 💖 🇨🇦
Just love his head, slightly Roman. A little Spanish too.A very fancy beast. Love!!
You KNOW you're gonna call him Spirit. What a stunning boy! He's going to be such a great addition to the Free Spirit herd. Jiminy is going to be SOOOO jealous!😂❤
Merry Christmas Shae!
I know you already have a Beauty and the Beast horse, but I think 'Lumiere' would be perfect! Fits with his registered name and all that 😉 Congrats to you!
He is my dream horse too!
Wow, he is so beautiful! You and he look great together and Kyle is going to look great riding him too someday! A perfect fit! I'm glad you didn't have to bid against other people to get him but instead you could just buy him outright! Light the Way and his previous owner are very fortunate to have their beautiful boy going to such an amazing home where he will be so well taken care of all of his life! I'm looking forward to seeing him meet his new family and settle in at his new home. Such a wonderful Christmas story and I'm so happy for you!
He is so beautiful, and with a sweet personality! Maybe Spirit as a barn name? Not only because of Spirit the character but also to celebrate the spirit of Christmas. I like the trainer who had been working with him. He seemed to really enjoy working with Light the Way, and he was willing to share his knowledge. Merry Christmas Shae and Kyle! Congratulations on your new addition to the Free Spirit family!
Kyle is a diamond!!!. You can telĺ how much he loves Shae. Great couple!!. ❤
Oh my goodness!!! What a gorgeous horse. The mane and tail and him! Wow. You two were meant to be. He is a special boy! I’m so happy for you Shea. You and Kyle. Thank you Kyle for taking care of this special lady. And helping her in so many ways. I so live vicariously through you Shea. Love you bunches and thanks for sharing your life.
This is so incredible! What a Christmas gift for all of us! My spirits have definitely been lifted by this video. I definitely needed this like so many others. What a an absolutely gorgeous horse! You and the Free Spirit family are always in my prayers!
Merry Christmas to you and all horse lovers!!🎄!!❤❤
I admire your posture on the horse! You look as magnificent as your new horse. Congrats!
He’s stunning!! I’m so happy you found this beautiful boy and made a connection!❤ It’s almost sad that he’s gelded, could you imagine the babies him and Bella could’ve had! 🤯 😂❤ Happy Holidays to everyone Free Spirit Equestrian!🎉
My goodness, what a gorgeous horse! His feathering is so beautiful.. I absolutely adore horses where their front legs are black, and their back legs have socks! His mane is so huge, oh my gosh!! He'll be a perfect Kyle horse in the future. I'm so happy for you, too! Good things come to those who wait. After looking for a horse for ages, you've finally found an amazing draft, and I'm so glad! As someone who loves draft horses, he's so perfect, beautiful, sound enough to ride, young, tall but not huge, and such a kind soul! He'll be such a great new addition to the farm ❤ Happy Holidays, Shae!!
This lipstick that you’re wearing is the best one I’ve ever seen on you. You look good in all of them, but this one is exceptionally nice.
Wow! The mane is magnificent when combed out! What a sweet soul!! He is a gorgeous color and his stature is so solid. Those feathered feet - mmm-mmm. He’s striking, Shae!! Congrats on your beautiful new free spirit!!
OMG, he is absolutely Drop Dead gorgeous! Buckskin is my all time favorite coat color; my own horse was a buckskin pinto. What a fantastic Christmas gift to give to yourself. I can't wait to see him in his upcoming videos and training. Congratulations. And a big thanks and hug to Kyle for everything he does for you. He is simply the best. ❤
I would give a kidney for that horse. He's beautiful.❤
This Horse is Stunning! 🐎 He’s going to look Ah-Mazing at your Farm too! And his personality is so sweet n kind. 💕 Kyle you are a saint! We see you really, really love Shae that you would drive her 6 hours just to see this horse, and we thank God for it! 😁 Happy Blessed Christmas Shae, Kyle and all your fur babies at Free Spirit Equestrian. 📯🐴🌟
What a magnificent looking horse! Congratulations on finding the horse of your dreams! Best of luck! 🎉❤
I wonder why they chose not to breed him. He is a beautiful horse. Could you imagine him and Belle having babies? Talk about the dream horse though, seriously. He is BEAUTIFUL. Grats on your Christmas present Shae!
I had to Google this breed since I have never heard of it. I'm glad to see a breed that is bringing back some heavier bone into the horse breed. He certainly supports a lot of the characteristics of this breed so I'm sure your dollar was well spent as you certainly got a quality purchase. Congratulations on your new purchase. Now you have 4 feathered breeds in your barn. However, I think your new horse is the king of the feathers in your barn!
