Ariel was not shy with the other horses. She stood her ground. You could see her confidence grow especially after the welcoming committee was so friendly!! BLESSINGS
Why am I sad. Happy, but sad! She’s being SO BRAVE and so little! Sweet girl has been through so much, but she’s handling it like a champ. She’s going to LOVE this new life!
And that's the thing, you can see how much love goes into those horses when they reflect what their humans give them, nothing but the love that they deserve.
Finally. It made me tear up to see Ariel able to run and hop about. That's how hard it was for her to be stalled in quarantine. Your senior horses proved how valuable they are. Jiminy and Bagheera are practically employees.
How exciting and fun to finally see Ariel in a big arena and free to move out. She looks to have nice, smooth, flowy gaits! Your heart must be so full! ❤
Sometimes things don't go as planned, but they almost always work out! It was magical watching you lead Ariel out of her stall and into the paddock! You guys handled the unexpected bits very well! It's amazing watching her run around and how all the other horses come to meet her. Absolutely heart melting!!
@@freespiritequestrian amazing job as always Shae, you are so adaptable and its evident just how much love and care and above all HARD WORK you put in these beautiful horses. Gosh, Bagheera is such an underrated horse I think by many; she is so helpful and magical. To see things work out like this when you picked her up you could've never anticipated this.. im in awe. You are wonderful
Ariel didn't know whether to be more excited about the sunshine and space to run or the realization that she could see a herd that she could belong to again. Her joy was so evident! Her flagged trot just makes my heart smile. ❤️
Bagheera is so patient, a great horse nanny. Ariel is so happy to have freedom and to finally meet the other horses. Jiminy is hilarious, Mushu is such a sweet boy. Ezzie is so excited to have a buddy her age. Good you filmed how being alert is so important and how unpredictable horses can be. You and Kyle are a great team. Glad everything went so well.
Well done, Shae for not being spooked when Ariel was. We forget horses are prey animals, or a panic attack on four legs and can be so easily scared but she recovered so well, too. Seeing that tail held high as she ran with joy was a delight. Looking forward to this journey with all the horses.Blessings from Australia.
You can't plan for every eventuality, but keeping alert as you did, Shae, is a must around equines. Ariel doing zoomies was magical and getting out her energy after the quarantine. Jiminey is a big old daftie and has to know everything as the herd leader, but Mushy showed what a sweet boy he is and was very calm with Ariel. Bagheera is the best Aunty to these foals. Belle and Ezzy looked very curious and Ezzy was in awe there is another one around her size. Cannot wait for them to be put in together and hope it goes well. ❤
As someone else referred to the moments you lead areal from her stall, the time was so exciting and magical!! Also, I was flipping out at how many horses crowded, at one time, to see and visit Areal. So many horses seemed so excited to meet her!! What an experience to witness!!
Ariel was like, "hey are you coming dad?" What a good girl to lead out. She's so pretty and that trot and those skidding stops, you might have a reining horse there! JImney is like, "HI there, I'll be your prince!"
Congratulations Shae!! She’s so smart!!! She recovered so fast!! The geldings were so funny!! And the clacking to let them know she’s a baby is the cutest thing EVER!! Bagheera is the sweetest nanny any babies could have. Ezzy seems excited as well as Jiminy, and him giving kisses was super special. 💛🧡
Aeriel looks amazing, she has filled out. She looks so different compared to when you first saw her at the horse auction, all timid and nervous. She know she's home. ❤❤❤❤😊
Ask Kyle to slam the gate a few more times while Ariel is outside and she’ll become “desensitized” The more she’s outside, she’ll get used to people, places and things and she won’t get so easily “spooked”
Thanks Shae. The moment we have all been waiting for, seeing Ariel out in the sunshine, running around. And sweet Auntie Bagheera is a lovely calming influence xx
The only happier horses ive seen , other than little Ariel, are all your other horses, who must be the most loved, well cared for horses on the planet. Thankyou for sharing this magic, you are a treasure. What a beauty Ariel is, you've gifted her the best life has to offer xxx
I just found you and fell in-love. Born and raised with horses now You and your horses help me to relive those equestrian years I miss with my best friend, Little Blonde Lady and Blondie for short. I bought her from my riding instructor Joan. When I went away to college, my Blondie moved back to England with Joan to be loved and enjoy her later years. You bring me tears of joy bc You are amazing and I love reliving my equestrian days through you.
Those little leaps of joy were fun to watch. Bagheera on babysitting duty is too good; she's so calm and assured, she gives young horses the right vibes.
Every day since you brought Ariel home I do my morning barn chores, cleaning up after six horses, then come in the house to have breakfast and open the latest Free Spirit Equestrian vlog to see the latest news and views of Ariel. So much fun! Thanks! And I'm always surprised to see how excited geldings get over baby horses.
Caring for a horse is so special. When I was around 8 years old my family rescued a pony from a hoarding situation. We had to borrow a friend's trailer and drive through a hail storm to get him. He was a quarter horse around a year old and had never been given any real kindness. We named him Stormy. We had no idea how to care for him. We just wanted him to be happy and well cared for. We were able to board him at a local riding school and learned how to care for him. My great grandfather had lived on the farm that had been in our family since the civil war. He had always had horses but had no animal companions in a very long time. He was in his late 80's and was alone. Our family decided to see how he would like to have a pony to care for. It was a huge success. Not only did he love the companionship but he told us that Stormy was his reason to get out of bed each day to walk to the barn and care for him. He referred to him as a "Strawberry Roan". (I don't know if that's even a thing!) Stormy was never broke to ride but that was OK. That pony followed him everywhere! My great granddaddy lived to be 98 years old and told us how grateful he had been to have such a beautiful friend for all of those years. Before he passed he asked us to donate Stormy to a local petting farm to live out his life surrounded by other animal friends. We did. Occasionally we were able to visit him and were always so thankful for the love he had given to an old farmer. Stormy was never ridden. That wasn't his life's purpose. It was just to give unconditional love. Thank you so much for sharing your stories. They always bring back special childhood memories. ❤
Thank you for sharing how your grandPa enjoyed later years thanks to his loving horse its been tribute to how much we owe yhesee equines from the dawn of civilization ❤ congrats Shae&Kyle
If only we could really think & feel what they do…it must be so wonderful for this little girl who’s had so many life changes in such a short span of time, starting with leaving her mama & all that’s transpired since. And, now…this glorious big area with all the “amenities” & humans who will love & watch over her needs. I still think of that other filly (#26 with the dorsal stripe that was so sweet) who you didn’t pick.😢. Hope she wound up with a wonderful home, too ❤🎉
Jiminy claimed Ariel for himself..❤️ It's so cute the individual personalities of each horse towards her. She's fitting right in. 🌟Now, let the new adventures begin! 🌟 Can't wait to see what happens next..💕 ❤️🙋🏼♀️🐈🐕
This video made my hospitalization easier to endure. Seeing that sweet little filly just being allowed to be a baby after having been weaned so (too) early is a balm to the soul. Shae, you are truly gifted and I am honestly so excited to see Miss Ariel's journey!!
I love how you respect the horses and give each of them choices - not pushing Ariel but giving her room to adjust and evolve. And understanding the behaviors of all your horses and honoring their personalities - Jimminy so funny!
Seeing Jiminy so fired up is funny, he's usually laid back. But it looks like Ariel got Jiminy's approval! I'm so glad she is enjoying her time outside and getting to see all the horses. Watching her run around was lovely. She's going to be such a nice horse to ride when she's older. That trot is so smooth!
It gives me so much joy to see Ariel running and kicking up her heels in the paddock! How marvelous! She's made such huge progress in two weeks, thanks to the loving, gentle work you've done with her. I imagine she will fit in beautifully with Belle and Ezzy. Looking forward to the next episode! Thank you so much for your videos. ❤
Ariel loved being in the paddock. She really seems happy. She liked being near the other horses, and they were kind. Jiminy was really excited to see a new foal, and it was funny seeing Mushu trying to see her, too! I saw Belle and Ezzy looking at Ariel, too. I am sure Ezzy and Belle will like Ariel, too. I think Ariel knows that she is home. Bagherra is a wonderful Auntie. Thank you, Shea for sharing your life with the horses with us. Ariel did so well, thanks to your spending all that time with her.
Oh what a precious video! I am 75 years old and sitting here with Bronchitis and fever but got such a peace watching little Ariel’s coming out! It was so awesome to watch the herd interaction for the new member. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. God bless! 🥰
First and foremost I want to say what a fantastic job you’re doing with Ariel…I loved that she let you lead her, and then when she got outside was so happy to be running around and investigating her new Surroundings-Jiminny was too funny with his reaction to her-I think he has a crush on her-so cute-and I can’t wait to see her and Ezzy together-but Bagheera is being her calm, fantastic self and set a good example and make Ariel feel comfortable….Btw, the barn looks amazing-all in all, I would think all of this makes you so happy-and I’m so happy for you and the way things are playing out…looking forward to the next video ❤
7:40 Kyle, that soooo would have been me!! Even knowing about horses, I am a creature of habit, and when I've been told the importance of closing gates for the safety of everyone, then I just do it without thinking. I also heard myself when you said, "Sorry??!!" Ha ha ha!! I suddenly recalled all of my "Sorry??!!" moments when I have learned new things through life. 14:05 "But Mommmmmm!!! Why can't I be with her, too??"Jiminy totally looked like he was saying that!! I'm so happy that I found your RUclips and I've shared your videos, or have recommended your channel to a few new horse owners because you show the good, the bad and the ugly. You're so transparent and honest, which is what we need a lot more of, especially when it comes to something so beautiful, but also could hurt you, others or their self by something so miniscule as to closing a gate. Horses are a lot of work, and you show that it's just as much mentally exhausting as it is physically, but the reward is HUMONGOUS!!! You definitely have to LOVE what you're doing, and it is clear to me that you DO!!! Have a beautiful weekend with Kyle, ALL of your "kiddos" 🐶🐴🐷, family, friends and students!!!
Now people can stop saying you only show us when things go perfectly 😂 It was as good to watch as I hoped. Ariel loves her uncles! And Bagheera is such a patient presence, while extrovert Jiminy is so excited 😅 Belle and Ezzy look curious!
Shae, so glad you paid attention to Ariel and so happy you were not hurt!!! Yes Ariel is happy to be out but if you guys know this or noticed Ariel was looking for her true mama!! Horse's hold a deep bond with their mother's!! That alone will never go away but yet they learn to move forward. Now Mr. Jiminey was not like this with Esmeralda. I believe Jiminey is in love first sight lol. Ezzy is very curious and Belle is a watchful eye But overall the rest of the herd is very excited and curious. I believe with your experience of wisdom and patience and kindness this all will work out!! Thanks again Shae and Kyle. 🙏🏻💙🙏🏻🌻🐎
Awesome video! I'm so happy Ariel is able to be out with the other horses now. I can't believe how chill Bagheera was. And, Jiminy was hilarious! He was acting like a young colt. Can't wait for the next update! ❤
Oh my gosh, seeing her be so free and frisky, the other horses seem to be so friendly towards Ariel. You guys have done an amazing job making her so welcome and a member of the herd.
Ariel has definitely put on some pounds since coming to the farm, she’s a portly little thing 😂 I imagine she’ll run off anything extra, or maybe she’s just at that stage of growth where she’s filling out wider than she is tall lol. So healing and exciting to see her get to run and play and sunbathe, and interact with the other horses. I think the beginning of the video should serve as a bit of a warning to those who want Kyle to be the one to train her 😅 Young and unhandled horses require a high level of training and equine knowledge. Things could have gone a lot worse if not for how calm and experienced you are, Shae!
She was quite calm once she got out, I expected her to race around but she was thoughtful about her new surroundings and bless Bagheera she couldn’t have cared less. Look forward to seeing her meet Ezzy and Belle though I have a feeling Belle won’t be too enamoured with her at first.
Yes Belle loving Ezze proud mama perhaps slow to accept Ariel who got separated early from her mare sad maybe shy to mingle Kudos to Jiminey for welcoming new filly ❤
Your videos are such a tonic. There is so much negativity and war in our world. I feel there is hope for humanity with kind people like you to counterbalance with loving kindness. Thank you.
The new Cole Ariel is adorable. She’s got the cutest trot in the prettiest little Cantor. When she starts getting trained, she’s going to be an absolutely gorgeous little mover.
All the boys, “Who’s that new redhead?🥰🐴” Ariel, “eat your heart out, fellas…” and struts her stuff. Big day for her. A lot of firsts. Glad Belle and Izzy seemed curious.
Congratulations to all with a perfect intro to outdoors and the herd! Such a perfect step out into all the farm has to offer. Jiminy surprised me but in the best way possible and it was nice he let Mushu come up to see Ariel. Those other guys will just have to wait a while. Auntie Bagheera was the essence of decorum, but let the girl run and slide---just not too close to Auntie! It was a surprise to me how Ezzie and Ariel just lazered in visually as soon as Ariel came out. Like they SAW SOMEONE MY SIZE! Sweet!
Ariel is like Poetry in motion. She is very intelligent like Izzie. Didn’t take long for (Birds of a feather) to Flock together! You are Truly Blessed with very Beautiful Horses. ❤❤❤
Such a joy to see horses being horses. Jiminey of course wanting to be grandpapi of the whole herd 😂 It seems that Mushu really wants to play with the foals too. Even with the bumps along the way, Ariel will really love it here. Thank you for taking us on this journey with you!
I Loved seeing this❤ I waited for just this moment. You have such a touch with Arial. And with Ezzy. I can’t wait for that the babies meet. And Jiminy was so cute and Happy. I thought I was going to miss out this as soon as it came out. I have been in the Hospital for a week, in South Haven, Michigan. I am 72. I rode when I was younger. I have Lung damage now, and Heart problems . Many years ago I Lived in Saline, Michigan. My Son was born in Ann Arbor in 1972. I am so proud of the Love and care you give your Horses,and all animals. I can’t wait to watch more with the Filly’s ❤❤ You picked a good one with Arial. She look’s and act’s like Ezzy. You taught them well. I hope I am here to see you ride them. If not I will be from up above ❤️🙏🏼
I love your content I think you are an awesome horse owner. I have always wanted a horse and your channel makes me feel like we both own the horses. Thank you so much. I hope that Ariel trusts you! I bet she will!
My heart is just busting with pure happiness for Ariel! Thinking of where she had come to where she is now!! Words cannot even express on what a great job you did with showing her what unconditional love can do! Then when Jimmie cricket licked her and nozzles her.. OMG!! Yes I could sit out in the pastures all day and just be present with all of these majestic animals!!
Ariel is getting her legs back, she deserves all the best, You dealt with all the challenges here in the very best manner and you trained her so quickly I am in awe. Mass respect and Love.
Can't wait to watch! I helped my trainer train some ponies for lessons because I was the only kid small enough but still experienced to ride them. I got my first pony from an auction not trained/broke and it turned out that she is pregnant just like Belle was! When it's born I am going to be doing what you have done so far with Ezzy because you seem to be doing great and I've never helped with a foal before!
This was wonderful to see! She is smart and beautiful. I am so proud of Ariel and thankful you and Kyle were able to buy her and give her the chance to be her best. What a life! It's been the perfect remedy to counteract the present world stresses! Thank you so much!!
Awwe foal zoomies and her tiny whinny just made me love her even more! What a beautiful baby Ariel is. I'm so glad that during her quarantine you were able to gentle her somewhat. And I believe you are correct...her personality in the beginning could have meant that she wouldn't fare well with a different owner. Good job lass! 💕🐴💕
Happy, Happy, Happy bucks, canters and tail flags, whoopee ! Jiminy carefully screened her, breathed her breath, and she his…. He accepted Ariel’s submission to him. She’s so thrilled to be with other horses, horses to talk to! Ariel’s first step, following you out her stall, melted my heart ❤️. I think her leap and kick in the arena was expressing pure excitement to be walking toward space and horses. This baby has good aiming skills, and she missed you, she didn’t strike out and hit. Just the same, you’re right, it’s always best to be careful ! What a happy day! 😆🎉💝☀️🐎
Oh the joy of seeing Ariel run & explore❣️Jiminy coming to make friends & touch through the fence was so sweet & brought tears to my eyes. Shae, you’ve done an extraordinary job of gently taking care of this beautiful little girl after her rough beginning in life. Now she’s really home. 💖
What a wonderful video! I could sit there all day too, and watch all of them interact. 😚 I was actually thinking that earlier in the video, before you commented that. I love how she let you lead her out of the stall, and you were so respectful of her taking her time to step over the threshold. I wasn't upset that she did a little kick in the arena, it seemed perfectly natural. I saw her looking at Kyle a couple of times too, she seems very comfortable around him as well. I think it's a great idea to introduce Arie to a new paddock and Aunty Bagheera together, great choice. Bagheera seems completely unimpressed! But also unworried, which is really good. What a lovely calming presence she is. I did notice that Ariel was a little unsteady on her feet at first, I wonder if this is the first time ever that she had room enough to run and kick up her heels? I noticed that she got more sure-footed as time went on. And I agree with you, she is a beautiful mover. Just poetry in motion. And I just love her blushing cheeks! (Butt cheeks 😆) so very very adorable. I think you should introduce a blush in that color and name it for her! I love how quickly she went up to the other horses and introduced herself. She has so much confidence. You have really done a great job bringing her along to your world. Mushu and Jiminy are completely smitten with her. I didn't know that Jiminy thinks he's the leader of the herd! Ezzy is really curious, and just *can't* contain it. She wants to sneak through that fence so bad, and find out who this new girl is! Belle seems curious but chill about it. I can't tell you how lovely it is to watch all these interactions. I wonder if she's met your lovely pig yet. (Is her name Penny? My brain isn't sure, sorry.) Thank you for sharing this lovely unfolding tale!
I had to watch these two videos over again! Starting with this one. Still so absolutely lovely to watch, all of it. I love her wonderful rhythmic trot! It's absolutely amazing how far she's come in 2 weeks, from "Get away don't touch me" to accepting a halter and learning to lead, and even leaning in for a kiss. So awesome. Shae and Kyle, both of you made this happen. Kudos for all that you do for your horses! I love how you interact with all of your animals.
Actually it all went very well.. considering Kyle’s gate closing spooked Ariel a little bit.. but true to form her resilient nature took over and your calm manner helped to settle her … ( whew)..😅 very proud of her.. I saw her spirit shine through, and applaud her courage and curiosity in meeting the Geldings.. what a little trooper she is!! ❤ yay… fingers crossed for the Belle and Esmerelda introduction.. I have faith that all will be fine.. and know once they meet it will be so much fun watching the interactions of each of them.. the filly’s are gonna be something with their running all around.. it will be amazing!❤
She seemed like she might have been looking for her Dam, or her former horse friends. I felt some sadness. Maybe she was weaned rather quickly, then taken to the sale. I am sure she will improve with all her new friends. ❤❤
She did absolutely amazing! Leading out you’re absolutely correct she got spooked and I think she handled it very well !! Loved to see the other horses greet her ❤
I loved seeing her run across the paddock, tail high - she is adorable and will give her all to you…..with a little attitude😊. Thanks for the updates. Looking forward to seeing Ezzy, Belle and Ariel together.
I love how high she carries her tail. It's like a little flag of glory. It looks so thick right now, so it is going to be beautiful when it's all grown out! Hopefully she and Esy get to be good for each other. Take care!
Oh My Goodness Gracious!!! The other horses are like "WHO HAD THIS BABY!! WOW! She looks so awesome out there! My Heart is just so full of Love for everyone of your animals. Thank you for sharing this wonderful world with us. 🩷🐎🩷🐎🩷🐎🩷🐎🩷🐎🩷🐎🩷🐎
Oh my gosh! I have been so excited for this video! Ariel has such unique colors, she is beautiful! And at one point it looked like Ezzy was turning to he mom and asking “is that a new baby?!?” Jiminey was so funny! 😅. He was just like “Another one is here, another one is here!!!”❤❤ Bagheera (I hope I am spelling that correctly). Is just like…. Okay, here we go…. All of your horses are so special…. I am so glad you have this channel!❤❤
Finally. Everyday I would to check to see if it was time for Ariel to get out That little kick she did when you had on lead was exactly what she would have done playing with another foal, and you have been her only other herd member for two weeks so of course you were the one to play with. It’s just like when a young dog grabs your favorite shoe and starts running with it and you run after them trying to get it back and they keep running away. They are playing with you just like they would with another dog. It’s a great game of chase and they are sure you are having as much fun as them. When you get mad they don’t understand. Much better to get one if their toys and get them to grab or chase it -giving up the shoe and then to further teach them to come to command and then if they bring you something they aren’t supposed to have, don’t scold them but praise them and thank them for bringing it and then throw one of their toys for them to play with.
It is lovely to see how interested Bell is already in this sweet, amazing filly. I think the next introduction with Belle and Ezzy will be positive. I love how Jiminey wants to check out Ariel and is totally interested in another female! All is good in the world of Free Spirit Farm !! ❤️🐴🐴❤️❤️
❤🎉😮 WOW Ariel has such beautiful precise gaits, she looks perfectly balanced and has such nice legs already. You guys chose a beautiful baby and rescued a precious life. 🥰😍🕊️⭐🐎🙏 Thanks for your videos. I loved this one!! 😍🥰❤️
😂I just loved it when she nuzzled you Shae and then her attitude with the others. She's gonna be another stunner. You deserve all the success and love xxx
What an absolute star! Looks like Jiminy is besotted. I kept thinking why are there so many leaves falling until I remembered you are in a different hemisphere. Duh! Lovely facility you have there.
FINALLY!!! Ariel did so well leaving her stall and walking out into the paddock, even with the unexpected. She was so happy to be outside and able to run, tail held high, and kick up her heels, AND to see OTHER HORSES!! She must have been so lonely in quarantine, except for when you were with her, Shae. I loved that she went right up to the fence to say hello to Ezzy and Belle, and then over to the geldings and say hello to them too. Jiminy was hilarious with his excitement over a new horse on the farm. Bagheera is so calm and such a great Auntie. Thanks for showing Ariel's trot in slow-mo. She looks beautiful! It will be great when Ariel can join Ezzy and Belle in the same enclosure. I am so thrilled for you all! Oh, and the barn looks great on the exterior!
Ariel was not shy with the other horses. She stood her ground. You could see her confidence grow especially after the welcoming committee was so friendly!! BLESSINGS
Loved it!!!
😇💕
Why am I sad. Happy, but sad! She’s being SO BRAVE and so little! Sweet girl has been through so much, but she’s handling it like a champ. She’s going to LOVE this new life!
And that's the thing, you can see how much love goes into those horses when they reflect what their humans give them, nothing but the love that they deserve.
She is beautiful, I’m sure she will do great with your help and her new horse family.
❤ 😊
Finally. It made me tear up to see Ariel able to run and hop about. That's how hard it was for her to be stalled in quarantine. Your senior horses proved how valuable they are. Jiminy and Bagheera are practically employees.
I like that-they ARE just like dependable employees.
You are so right. I love Jiminy, early on I was drawn to Apps with color but big jumpers and had the first "color" hunter in my area.
How exciting and fun to finally see Ariel in a big arena and free to move out. She looks to have nice, smooth, flowy gaits! Your heart must be so full! ❤
Sometimes things don't go as planned, but they almost always work out! It was magical watching you lead Ariel out of her stall and into the paddock! You guys handled the unexpected bits very well! It's amazing watching her run around and how all the other horses come to meet her. Absolutely heart melting!!
Thank you!
I agree it was truly magical ✨️ 💖 😍
Yea definitely 👌
@@freespiritequestrian amazing job as always Shae, you are so adaptable and its evident just how much love and care and above all HARD WORK you put in these beautiful horses. Gosh, Bagheera is such an underrated horse I think by many; she is so helpful and magical. To see things work out like this when you picked her up you could've never anticipated this.. im in awe. You are wonderful
Please wear glove and a hat while dealing with youngsters
Ariel didn't know whether to be more excited about the sunshine and space to run or the realization that she could see a herd that she could belong to again. Her joy was so evident! Her flagged trot just makes my heart smile. ❤️
Who else was so waiting for this video? 🥰
I 🖤
Since 7am this morning! 🤣
So!
Me
Bagheera is so patient, a great horse nanny. Ariel is so happy to have freedom and to finally meet the other horses. Jiminy is hilarious, Mushu is such a sweet boy. Ezzie is so excited to have a buddy her age. Good you filmed how being alert is so important and how unpredictable horses can be. You and Kyle are a great team. Glad everything went so well.
Ariel seems so happy! I love how excited she is to see other horses and I think Jiminy is in love!
Those two are Such flirts, heheee!!!
⚪️
😂
The way she flags her tail when she runs and her trot reminds of an Arabian
Well done, Shae for not being spooked when Ariel was. We forget horses are prey animals, or a panic attack on four legs and can be so easily scared but she recovered so well, too. Seeing that tail held high as she ran with joy was a delight. Looking forward to this journey with all the horses.Blessings from Australia.

Ezzys reaction was so cute ❤❤❤
As someone else referred to the moments you lead areal from her stall, the time was so exciting and magical!!
Also, I was flipping out at how many horses crowded, at one time, to see and visit Areal.
So many horses seemed so excited to meet her!! What an experience to witness!!
Ariel was like, "hey are you coming dad?" What a good girl to lead out. She's so pretty and that trot and those skidding stops, you might have a reining horse there! JImney is like, "HI there, I'll be your prince!"
Seeing the other horses' excitement to meet her was so sweet! And it seems like Belle recognizes a friend. Great progress!
Congratulations Shae!!
She’s so smart!!! She recovered so fast!! The geldings were so funny!! And the clacking to let them know she’s a baby is the cutest thing EVER!! Bagheera is the sweetest nanny any babies could have. Ezzy seems excited as well as Jiminy, and him giving kisses was super special. 💛🧡
Aeriel looks amazing, she has filled out. She looks so different compared to when you first saw her at the horse auction, all timid and nervous. She know she's home. ❤❤❤❤😊
Home is where the ❤️ Is!!!
😇💕
she is so big and beautiful
💜 🧡 ❤
Ariel is bold and beautiful! ❤❤❤
Ask Kyle to slam the gate a few more times while Ariel is outside and she’ll become “desensitized” The more she’s outside, she’ll get used to people, places and things and she won’t get so easily “spooked”
Thanks Shae. The moment we have all been waiting for, seeing Ariel out in the sunshine, running around. And sweet Auntie Bagheera is a lovely calming influence xx
The only happier horses ive seen , other than little Ariel, are all your other horses, who must be the most loved, well cared for horses on the planet. Thankyou for sharing this magic, you are a treasure. What a beauty Ariel is, you've gifted her the best life has to offer xxx
Jiminy’s absolute freak out had me dying. I can’t wait until both she and Ezzy are in with the entire herd for the first time.
I just found you and fell in-love.
Born and raised with horses now You and your horses help me to relive those equestrian years I miss with my best friend,
Little Blonde Lady and Blondie for short. I bought her from my riding instructor Joan. When I went away to college, my Blondie moved back to England with Joan to be loved and enjoy her later years.
You bring me tears of joy bc You are amazing and I love reliving my equestrian days through you.
Those little leaps of joy were fun to watch. Bagheera on babysitting duty is too good; she's so calm and assured, she gives young horses the right vibes.
Bagheera is so awesome! What a great auntie to the young fillys!
There's really nothing like a good solid mare to show the younger ones how to be grounded.
Every day since you brought Ariel home I do my morning barn chores, cleaning up after six horses, then come in the house to have breakfast and open the latest Free Spirit Equestrian vlog to see the latest news and views of Ariel. So much fun! Thanks! And I'm always surprised to see how excited geldings get over baby horses.
Caring for a horse is so special. When I was around 8 years old my family rescued a pony from a hoarding situation. We had to borrow a friend's trailer and drive through a hail storm to get him. He was a quarter horse around a year old and had never been given any real kindness. We named him Stormy. We had no idea how to care for him. We just wanted him to be happy and well cared for. We were able to board him at a local riding school and learned how to care for him. My great grandfather had lived on the farm that had been in our family since the civil war. He had always had horses but had no animal companions in a very long time. He was in his late 80's and was alone. Our family decided to see how he would like to have a pony to care for. It was a huge success. Not only did he love the companionship but he told us that Stormy was his reason to get out of bed each day to walk to the barn and care for him. He referred to him as a "Strawberry Roan". (I don't know if that's even a thing!) Stormy was never broke to ride but that was OK. That pony followed him everywhere! My great granddaddy lived to be 98 years old and told us how grateful he had been to have such a beautiful friend for all of those years. Before he passed he asked us to donate Stormy to a local petting farm to live out his life surrounded by other animal friends. We did. Occasionally we were able to visit him and were always so thankful for the love he had given to an old farmer. Stormy was never ridden. That wasn't his life's purpose. It was just to give unconditional love. Thank you so much for sharing your stories. They always bring back special childhood memories. ❤
Thank you for sharing how your grandPa enjoyed later years thanks to his loving horse its been tribute to how much we owe yhesee equines from the dawn of civilization ❤ congrats Shae&Kyle
Strawberry roan is what a red chestnut with the roaning gene is called-that’s exactly right. What a cool story!!
@@fleetskipper1810 Thanks for that info! I remember that Stormy looked kinda pink from a distance. 😆
What a wonderful story. Your parents did a compassionate wonderful thing in rescuing a hurting unloved animal. Sounds like he lead a good life.
If only we could really think & feel what they do…it must be so wonderful for this little girl who’s had so many life changes in such a short span of time, starting with leaving her mama & all that’s transpired since. And, now…this glorious big area with all the “amenities” & humans who will love & watch over her needs. I still think of that other filly (#26 with the dorsal stripe that was so sweet) who you didn’t pick.😢. Hope she wound up with a wonderful home, too ❤🎉
Jiminy claimed Ariel for himself..❤️ It's so cute the individual personalities of each horse towards her.
She's fitting right in.
🌟Now, let the new adventures begin! 🌟
Can't wait to see what happens next..💕
❤️🙋🏼♀️🐈🐕
Ariel is gorgeous and her TROT... so beautiful. I can't believe I have the opportunity to watch her and Ezzy grow. Thank you, Shae.
This video made my hospitalization easier to endure. Seeing that sweet little filly just being allowed to be a baby after having been weaned so (too) early is a balm to the soul. Shae, you are truly gifted and I am honestly so excited to see Miss Ariel's journey!!
Jiminy getting so excited over Ariel was so cute
Congratulations Shea. You did a superb job with your girls. You have the perfect personality and temperament for healthy horses.
As well as knowledge and experience! 👍🏽
Also, Bagheera is just awesome. Such a good, loving soul. An amazing "Auntie" to the foals!
I love how you respect the horses and give each of them choices - not pushing Ariel but giving her room to adjust and evolve. And understanding the behaviors of all your horses and honoring their personalities - Jimminy so funny!
Seeing Jiminy so fired up is funny, he's usually laid back. But it looks like Ariel got Jiminy's approval! I'm so glad she is enjoying her time outside and getting to see all the horses. Watching her run around was lovely. She's going to be such a nice horse to ride when she's older. That trot is so smooth!
Agreed! Good eye, didn’t notice it until you pointed it out. That last shot is cool
It gives me so much joy to see Ariel running and kicking up her heels in the paddock! How marvelous! She's made such huge progress in two weeks, thanks to the loving, gentle work you've done with her. I imagine she will fit in beautifully with Belle and Ezzy. Looking forward to the next episode! Thank you so much for your videos. ❤
I’m incredibly proud of her!
Ariel loved being in the paddock. She really seems happy. She liked being near the
other horses, and they were kind. Jiminy was really excited to see a new foal, and it was funny seeing Mushu trying to see her, too! I saw Belle and Ezzy looking at Ariel, too. I am sure Ezzy and Belle will like Ariel, too. I think Ariel knows that she is home. Bagherra is a wonderful Auntie. Thank you, Shea for sharing your life with the horses with us. Ariel did so well, thanks to your spending all that time with her.
Oh what a precious video! I am 75 years old and sitting here with Bronchitis and fever but got such a peace watching little Ariel’s coming out! It was so awesome to watch the herd interaction for the new member. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. God bless! 🥰
Hope you have gotten much better since this video ❤️🐎
First and foremost I want to say what a fantastic job you’re doing with Ariel…I loved that she let you lead her, and then when she got outside was so happy to be running around and investigating her new Surroundings-Jiminny was too funny with his reaction to her-I think he has a crush on her-so cute-and I can’t wait to see her and Ezzy together-but Bagheera is being her calm, fantastic self and set a good example and make Ariel feel comfortable….Btw, the barn looks amazing-all in all, I would think all of this makes you so happy-and I’m so happy for you and the way things are playing out…looking forward to the next video ❤
7:40 Kyle, that soooo would have been me!! Even knowing about horses, I am a creature of habit, and when I've been told the importance of closing gates for the safety of everyone, then I just do it without thinking. I also heard myself when you said, "Sorry??!!" Ha ha ha!! I suddenly recalled all of my "Sorry??!!" moments when I have learned new things through life.
14:05 "But Mommmmmm!!! Why can't I be with her, too??"Jiminy totally looked like he was saying that!!
I'm so happy that I found your RUclips and I've shared your videos, or have recommended your channel to a few new horse owners because you show the good, the bad and the ugly. You're so transparent and honest, which is what we need a lot more of, especially when it comes to something so beautiful, but also could hurt you, others or their self by something so miniscule as to closing a gate. Horses are a lot of work, and you show that it's just as much mentally exhausting as it is physically, but the reward is HUMONGOUS!!! You definitely have to LOVE what you're doing, and it is clear to me that you DO!!!
Have a beautiful weekend with Kyle, ALL of your "kiddos" 🐶🐴🐷, family, friends and students!!!
Now people can stop saying you only show us when things go perfectly 😂
It was as good to watch as I hoped. Ariel loves her uncles! And Bagheera is such a patient presence, while extrovert Jiminy is so excited 😅
Belle and Ezzy look curious!
Horses just being horses. That’s why we love them! 😊
She has a very good trot!! So glad she was able to get out of the stall, I think we were all waiting for this day.
It was so beautiful seeing the other horses greet Ariel! So heart warming! Welcome to a whole new world of love Ariel! ❤
💖
Shae, so glad you paid attention to Ariel and so happy you were not hurt!!!
Yes Ariel is happy to be out but if you guys know this or noticed Ariel was looking for her true mama!! Horse's hold a deep bond with their mother's!! That alone will never go away but yet they learn to move forward.
Now Mr. Jiminey was not like this with Esmeralda. I believe Jiminey is in love first sight lol.
Ezzy is very curious and Belle is a watchful eye But overall the rest of the herd is very excited and curious. I believe with your experience of wisdom and patience and kindness this all will work out!! Thanks again Shae and Kyle. 🙏🏻💙🙏🏻🌻🐎
Awesome video! I'm so happy Ariel is able to be out with the other horses now. I can't believe how chill Bagheera was. And, Jiminy was hilarious! He was acting like a young colt. Can't wait for the next update! ❤
Oh my gosh, seeing her be so free and frisky, the other horses seem to be so friendly towards Ariel. You guys have done an amazing job making her so welcome and a member of the herd.
She truly has one of the kindest eyes and face I have ever seen! That nicker she gave when you got there was adorable!
The way she looked at Ezzy and Belle when she came out. Soon to be best friends❤
Ariel has definitely put on some pounds since coming to the farm, she’s a portly little thing 😂 I imagine she’ll run off anything extra, or maybe she’s just at that stage of growth where she’s filling out wider than she is tall lol. So healing and exciting to see her get to run and play and sunbathe, and interact with the other horses. I think the beginning of the video should serve as a bit of a warning to those who want Kyle to be the one to train her 😅 Young and unhandled horses require a high level of training and equine knowledge. Things could have gone a lot worse if not for how calm and experienced you are, Shae!
She was quite calm once she got out, I expected her to race around but she was thoughtful about her new surroundings and bless Bagheera she couldn’t have cared less. Look forward to seeing her meet Ezzy and Belle though I have a feeling Belle won’t be too enamoured with her at first.
Yes Belle loving Ezze proud mama perhaps slow to accept Ariel who got separated early from her mare sad maybe shy to mingle Kudos to Jiminey for welcoming new filly ❤
Yes Belle will be protective of her Ezzy so good to let them all get used to each other at a distance
Ariel looks so much happier outside💚
So beautiful interacting with the others. Cant wait to see her with Belle and Easy.
NEW SMELLS. Instinct. Memories from the sale barn. She’s intelligent. Thank God YOU bought her! ----. You two are gonna have so much fun!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Oh my goodness she is so adorable running outside. I’m blown up.
She's a really smooth mover!
I have to admit I was on team Blue Roan, but Ariel has now stolen my heart. Her & Ezzy are gonna be such besties!
I hope the blue roan goes to a good loving home and well treated throughout her life.
Allways makes me happy to see a foal outside for a first time 😊☺️
I love that little nicker of welcome when you approached her stall!
Your videos are such a tonic. There is so much negativity and war in our world. I feel there is hope for humanity with kind people like you to counterbalance with loving kindness. Thank you.
The new Cole Ariel is adorable. She’s got the cutest trot in the prettiest little Cantor. When she starts getting trained, she’s going to be an absolutely gorgeous little mover.
All the boys, “Who’s that new redhead?🥰🐴” Ariel, “eat your heart out, fellas…” and struts her stuff. Big day for her. A lot of firsts. Glad Belle and Izzy seemed curious.
Congratulations to all with a perfect intro to outdoors and the herd! Such a perfect step out into all the farm has to offer. Jiminy surprised me but in the best way possible and it was nice he let Mushu come up to see Ariel. Those other guys will just have to wait a while. Auntie Bagheera was the essence of decorum, but let the girl run and slide---just not too close to Auntie! It was a surprise to me how Ezzie and Ariel just lazered in visually as soon as Ariel came out. Like they SAW SOMEONE MY SIZE! Sweet!
Ariel is like Poetry in motion. She is very intelligent like Izzie. Didn’t take long for (Birds of a feather) to Flock together! You are Truly Blessed with very Beautiful Horses. ❤❤❤
Such a joy to see horses being horses. Jiminey of course wanting to be grandpapi of the whole herd 😂 It seems that Mushu really wants to play with the foals too. Even with the bumps along the way, Ariel will really love it here. Thank you for taking us on this journey with you!
I Loved seeing this❤ I waited for just this moment. You have such a touch with Arial. And with Ezzy. I can’t wait for that the babies meet. And Jiminy was so cute and Happy. I thought I was going to miss out this as soon as it came out. I have been in the Hospital for a week, in South Haven, Michigan. I am 72. I rode when I was younger. I have Lung damage now, and Heart problems . Many years ago I Lived in Saline, Michigan. My Son was born in Ann Arbor in 1972. I am so proud of the Love and care you give your Horses,and all animals. I can’t wait to watch more with the Filly’s ❤❤ You picked a good one with Arial. She look’s and act’s like Ezzy. You taught them well. I hope I am here to see you ride them. If not I will be from up above ❤️🙏🏼
I love your content I think you are an awesome horse owner. I have always wanted a horse and your channel makes me feel like we both own the horses. Thank you so much. I hope that Ariel trusts you! I bet she will!
My heart is just busting with pure happiness for Ariel! Thinking of where she had come to where she is now!! Words cannot even express on what a great job you did with showing her what unconditional love can do!
Then when Jimmie cricket licked her and nozzles her.. OMG!!
Yes I could sit out in the pastures all day and just be present with all of these majestic animals!!
I love that she got out to see her new life with friends ❤❤❤❤
Ariel is getting her legs back, she deserves all the best, You dealt with all the challenges here in the very best manner and you trained her so quickly I am in awe. Mass respect and Love.
Can't wait to watch!
I helped my trainer train some ponies for lessons because I was the only kid small enough but still experienced to ride them. I got my first pony from an auction not trained/broke and it turned out that she is pregnant just like Belle was! When it's born I am going to be doing what you have done so far with Ezzy because you seem to be doing great and I've never helped with a foal before!
That is exciting! ❤
Wow that’s amazing! Good luck.
I love that Ariel nickeled to you when you had just walked up to her stall. Two weeks. Marvelous, and all that followed.
That little tail flag!! ❤❤❤ She looks so joyful out there! Looking forward to seeing what the future holds for her and Ezzy!
This was wonderful to see! She is smart and beautiful. I am so proud of Ariel and thankful you and Kyle were able to buy her and give her the chance to be her best. What a life! It's been the perfect remedy to counteract the present world stresses! Thank you so much!!
Awwe foal zoomies and her tiny whinny just made me love her even more! What a beautiful baby Ariel is. I'm so glad that during her quarantine you were able to gentle her somewhat. And I believe you are correct...her personality in the beginning could have meant that she wouldn't fare well with a different owner. Good job lass! 💕🐴💕
Happy, Happy, Happy bucks, canters and tail flags, whoopee !
Jiminy carefully screened her, breathed her breath, and she his…. He accepted Ariel’s submission to him.
She’s so thrilled to be with other horses, horses to talk to!
Ariel’s first step, following you out her stall, melted my heart ❤️. I think her leap and kick in the arena was expressing pure excitement to be walking toward space and horses. This baby has good aiming skills, and she missed you, she didn’t strike out and hit. Just the same, you’re right, it’s always
best to be careful !
What a happy day! 😆🎉💝☀️🐎
16:03 😂❤❤ Geldings trying to reach her is so sweet
The greeting with the other horses was so adorable. Ariel looks so happy being outside. ❤
Oh the joy of seeing Ariel run & explore❣️Jiminy coming to make friends & touch through the fence was so sweet & brought tears to my eyes. Shae, you’ve done an extraordinary job of gently taking care of this beautiful little girl after her rough beginning in life. Now she’s really home. 💖
What a wonderful video! I could sit there all day too, and watch all of them interact. 😚 I was actually thinking that earlier in the video, before you commented that.
I love how she let you lead her out of the stall, and you were so respectful of her taking her time to step over the threshold. I wasn't upset that she did a little kick in the arena, it seemed perfectly natural. I saw her looking at Kyle a couple of times too, she seems very comfortable around him as well.
I think it's a great idea to introduce Arie to a new paddock and Aunty Bagheera together, great choice. Bagheera seems completely unimpressed! But also unworried, which is really good. What a lovely calming presence she is.
I did notice that Ariel was a little unsteady on her feet at first, I wonder if this is the first time ever that she had room enough to run and kick up her heels? I noticed that she got more sure-footed as time went on. And I agree with you, she is a beautiful mover. Just poetry in motion.
And I just love her blushing cheeks! (Butt cheeks 😆) so very very adorable. I think you should introduce a blush in that color and name it for her!
I love how quickly she went up to the other horses and introduced herself. She has so much confidence. You have really done a great job bringing her along to your world.
Mushu and Jiminy are completely smitten with her. I didn't know that Jiminy thinks he's the leader of the herd!
Ezzy is really curious, and just *can't* contain it. She wants to sneak through that fence so bad, and find out who this new girl is! Belle seems curious but chill about it.
I can't tell you how lovely it is to watch all these interactions. I wonder if she's met your lovely pig yet. (Is her name Penny? My brain isn't sure, sorry.)
Thank you for sharing this lovely unfolding tale!
I had to watch these two videos over again! Starting with this one. Still so absolutely lovely to watch, all of it.
I love her wonderful rhythmic trot!
It's absolutely amazing how far she's come in 2 weeks, from "Get away don't touch me" to accepting a halter and learning to lead, and even leaning in for a kiss.
So awesome. Shae and Kyle, both of you made this happen. Kudos for all that you do for your horses! I love how you interact with all of your animals.
@@cattymajivthank you for telling me 😊
I couldn't remember! I knew Penny was close but I couldn't remember for sure. Old brain ❤
Actually it all went very well.. considering Kyle’s gate closing spooked Ariel a little bit.. but true to form her resilient nature took over and your calm manner helped to settle her … ( whew)..😅 very proud of her.. I saw her spirit shine through, and applaud her courage and curiosity in meeting the Geldings.. what a little trooper she is!! ❤ yay… fingers crossed for the Belle and Esmerelda introduction.. I have faith that all will be fine.. and know once they meet it will be so much fun watching the interactions of each of them.. the filly’s are gonna be something with their running all around.. it will be amazing!❤
She seemed like she might have been looking for her Dam, or her former horse friends. I felt some sadness. Maybe she was weaned rather quickly, then taken to the sale. I am sure she will improve with all her new friends. ❤❤
She did absolutely amazing! Leading out you’re absolutely correct she got spooked and I think she handled it very well !! Loved to see the other horses greet her ❤
I loved seeing her run across the paddock, tail high - she is adorable and will give her all to you…..with a little attitude😊. Thanks for the updates. Looking forward to seeing Ezzy, Belle and Ariel together.
What a beautiful tenderness is in your life. Just magical. ❤ I remember the sound Ariel made when she saw you. That's a big honor. ❤
What a stunning, brick house of a filly. Her movement? Wow. You did good Shae!!
Aunt Bagheera looks thrilled.... 😅 I can't believe Jiminy put on such a show 🤭😆 how cute
@@cattymajiv and gorgeous! ❤️
Ariel just strutting her stuff, and has a spring in her step, totally gorgeous x
So, Ariel likes the boys! What a show off. Love it.
What a cute little filly. I just love her head, cute face. She looks very strong and built in her hind quarters. You can see it already.
I love how high she carries her tail. It's like a little flag of glory. It looks so thick right now, so it is going to be beautiful when it's all grown out! Hopefully she and Esy get to be good for each other. Take care!
Oh My Goodness Gracious!!! The other horses are like "WHO HAD THIS BABY!! WOW! She looks so awesome out there! My Heart is just so full of Love for everyone of your animals. Thank you for sharing this wonderful world with us. 🩷🐎🩷🐎🩷🐎🩷🐎🩷🐎🩷🐎🩷🐎
Oh my gosh! I have been so excited for this video! Ariel has such unique colors, she is beautiful! And at one point it looked like Ezzy was turning to he mom and asking “is that a new baby?!?” Jiminey was so funny! 😅. He was just like “Another one is here, another one is here!!!”❤❤ Bagheera (I hope I am spelling that correctly). Is just like…. Okay, here we go…. All of your horses are so special…. I am so glad you have this channel!❤❤
So happy for her. She has a beautiful home & family and FREEDOM ❤❤🥰❤❤
It's great to see Ariel's confidence. You can tell she is very happy. ❤
Finally. Everyday I would to check to see if it was time for Ariel to get out That little kick she did when you had on lead was exactly what she would have done playing with another foal, and you have been her only other herd member for two weeks so of course you were the one to play with. It’s just like when a young dog grabs your favorite shoe and starts running with it and you run after them trying to get it back and they keep running away. They are playing with you just like they would with another dog. It’s a great game of chase and they are sure you are having as much fun as them. When you get mad they don’t understand. Much better to get one if their toys and get them to grab or chase it -giving up the shoe and then to further teach them to come to command and then if they bring you something they aren’t supposed to have, don’t scold them but praise them and thank them for bringing it and then throw one of their toys for them to play with.
It is lovely to see how interested Bell is already in this sweet, amazing filly. I think the next introduction with Belle and Ezzy will be positive.
I love how Jiminey wants to check out Ariel and is totally interested in another female! All is good in the world of Free Spirit Farm !! ❤️🐴🐴❤️❤️
❤🎉😮 WOW Ariel has such beautiful precise gaits, she looks perfectly balanced and has such nice legs already.
You guys chose a beautiful baby and rescued a precious life. 🥰😍🕊️⭐🐎🙏
Thanks for your videos. I loved this one!! 😍🥰❤️
It's great to see her meet the herd. I'm glad you didn't get kicked- it looked a little close.
I love her trotting around. Her tail is at full mast, love it. She is a very pretty mare.
Looking at the last portion of this..
We can really see how much Ariel has grown in the last couple of weeks..
What a beautiful beautiful girl❤❤❤
😂I just loved it when she nuzzled you Shae and then her attitude with the others. She's gonna be another stunner. You deserve all the success and love xxx
What an absolute star! Looks like Jiminy is besotted. I kept thinking why are there so many leaves falling until I remembered you are in a different hemisphere. Duh! Lovely facility you have there.
FINALLY!!! Ariel did so well leaving her stall and walking out into the paddock, even with the unexpected. She was so happy to be outside and able to run, tail held high, and kick up her heels, AND to see OTHER HORSES!! She must have been so lonely in quarantine, except for when you were with her, Shae. I loved that she went right up to the fence to say hello to Ezzy and Belle, and then over to the geldings and say hello to them too. Jiminy was hilarious with his excitement over a new horse on the farm. Bagheera is so calm and such a great Auntie. Thanks for showing Ariel's trot in slow-mo. She looks beautiful! It will be great when Ariel can join Ezzy and Belle in the same enclosure. I am so thrilled for you all! Oh, and the barn looks great on the exterior!
Her new family: Great-Uncle Jiminy, Uncle Mushu, and Grandma Bagheera. Such a big day-I’ll bet that Ariel slept well that night.
I'm not ashamed to admit that your video made me cry a little ❤ Ariel is going to be fine. Look at that confidence as soon as she entered the paddock!
Magnificent, Ariel. So happy for you.
Ariel is a happy baby! She runs just for the joy of it. It's so delightful to just watch her run around the paddock.
Glad everything worked out. They are all beautiful horses.
