Wow, that is a pretty horse for the kiddos. Right size. You could see Kierah really took to her immediately. That's awesome. Jeremy, you are doing an terrific job with that apartment/garage. I love that Melissa is always by your side helping you. That is wonderful that you two do everything together. I love your family so much. I enjoy watching how you two spend time with your children and are all very close. That is important. You will always have those kids around, coming back home to visit because that's what you two have taught them. The importance of a "Family." May God bless all of you always. Keep your awesome videos coming.
I “second” everything Florence said!! ❤💯👏🏻
Look so forward to your videos every Saturday. Beautiful horse and it will be great for the kiddos…right size and right temperament. You have totally thrown me now with your height…lol. I always pictured Jeremy as around 6’ and Melissa at 5’ 6” or 5’ 7”, now I have to remember you aren’t tall at all..lol. So funny how you can picture something on the tv screen but find out it’s nothing like you thought. 🤷♀️. Everything is looking great. You two work so well together. May God continue to bless you and your family.
LOL @ only complimenting Jeremy for the build and saying Melissa is always by his side. They are both doing the build not just Jeremy. She is not a sidekick but a full 50% of a team. Don't downgrade her to the "little woman." It amazes me when women are the people to lessen other women and their accomplishments.
Keep Coda for Jeremy or Nevaeh. No such thing as too many horses.
Because I spent so much time with my son as he grew up and got older, at 37 he still enjoys hanging around with me.
I was impressed at how calm, cool and confident "Little Debbie" is in her new surroundings, and how she told Kota to 'back off' with those kicks! Atta girl! 🤣👍🏾🤩🐶
Little Debbie looks like a sweetie, & looks like she knows how to confidently handle Koda’s energy & keep him in line - fingers crossed he’ll learn from her experience & her lovely calm manners! ❤
The pony is beautiful !
Good job making the tough decisions!!! Not easy, but definitely worth it.
This episode had beautiful sky scenes both day and night. Thank you!
I would ask you to keep Koda as the kiddos get more in tune with riding and they get older it will work out.
Kiddo’s smile’s said it all, Debbie is a luvly little addition to the family xx❤🎉🫶👍👏🫶
Little Debbie is perfect for the children. She is not only well trained and calm but beautiful. I can see you taking long safe trail rides. She is the exact size for the kids to grow up with. The garage/apartment is coming along nicely. Your both excellent builders and work well together which is a pleasure to watch. Thanks for all your hard work.
I hope you don’t give up on Coda, I have a horse like him only a mare. I’ve taught my kids to be aware of her, safety is knowing your surroundings, she’s in no way intentionally malicious but just flat out spooks at a fart… when the others are being ridden she will ride along side and behave herself, she just wants to be with her herd. So like you I got an older horse and this has also calmed my mate, Debbie kicking at Coda is good, she’ll put him in his place and teach him some manners.
They have to do what is best for Coda and their family. In today's video Coda went to a new home, I am sure that Coda will have a wonderful life and be in a better situation so he can learn and thrive and live his best life❤
@@makeuplover6852 I agree, no horse is worth the safety of your family. We learned the hard way many years ago which ended in the death of a loved one.
What if you built a long work table/bench out of scrap so you wouldn't have to work off of the ground? Save your back.
Little Debbie is a good size for children. Coda is a young horse. Usually around 4 years old they calm down if rode every day. Give Coda a chance. Kiddos will get bigger and they will out grow Debbie.
What a great purchase! 😃👍🏻 And Jeremy when you said “that’s how you landed Melissa” cracked me up, you two are so fun to watch.
From a person that has had horses- you’re doing the right thing! Don’t let anyone make you feel badly if you need to find a better fit for Koda. Horses are expensive to feed, house and vet. They come with undeniable risks. Love the new pony for your kids! I hope they enjoy horsemanship and riding with her. I suspect she’ll be alpha. It was always interesting to watch hierarchy be established. Again, if your viewers don’t understand horses, they may think she was aggressive or mean. She’s just being a horse getting established into her new herd.
Yeah, going to have to disagree with you. Horses form relationships, it's not Koda's fault he's too young and not fit for little kids. He's got a home, he knows it and he's comfortable and he's already been rehomed at least once 18 months ago. Animals are a lifetime commitment. In the case of a horse, that can be a 30 year commitment. Yes, they're expensive, and that's why the time to decide if you can afford that commitment is before you get a horse. Auction lots are full of horses going for meat because people decide they don't want to honor the commitment they made to an animal when it becomes inconvenient for them. Horses are not tools, and they aren't toys. They're sentient animals that have emotions, form bonds with each other, and don't exist for the pleasure of human beings. People who would never, ever think of rehoming a dog will rehome a larger animal, but there's really no difference between the two even if people have decided to call one group of animals "pets' and one group "livestock".
@@lindak3030 there is absolutely no legal, ethical or moral reasoning that agrees with your statement that animals are a lifetime commitment.
@@lindak3030 Koda deserves a deep bond with owners skilled enough to ride her. Bottom line.
These owners don't have the skills- there is no crime knowing ones limitations.
The ranch they just came from- I could guarantee they leave Koda there for a long summer - they will get back a different horse.
Lil-Debi came from a full fledged serious horse facility, and an old pony without a name or papers is very strange, wouldn't you agree?
That is the kind of ranch that's "been there done that" raising and selling generations of horses. If I had to sell Koda somewhere it is too a place like that! Even if I took a hit because I would know Koda will learn quickly what Koda needs to learn and likely sold again to become someone's treasure.
No judgement upon anyone okay?
@@lindascheffer1973 really? When you adopt, it’s for life not until you get fed up with it otherwise get yourself a stuffed animal not a real one. What’s wrong with you
@@GPeterson-jw5sp The little kids can't ride him. That doesn't mean no one in the family can't ride him. In any case, again, horses aren't toys or tools. Even if no one can ride him he deserves to not be shifted around every 18 months and torn away from everything and everyone he knows just because he's not "useful" in the way they anticipated. Bottom line, they have the money, the land and the time and made a commitment to that horse by getting him, and moving him there. Horses aren't playing cards, you don't trade them when something else comes along.
I'm celebrating with you..Lil Debbie's addition is so great! Seeing Kyra and Eli smiling while riding her speaks volumes! And the garage is going up so fast🙌🙌 Stay safe, be well and see ya next time👋👋👋
Thank you so much Mary 💓
The sooner the kids learn to post the trot, the quicker they and the pony will enjoy it. She looks like a good fit.
Yes!!

I still don't get how you dont have a million followers, I watched you guys since day one, and I never miss one single episode. You are an inspiration to watch sending you lots of ❤
Thank you 😊 💓
@@GoodSimpleLiving how about using hardhats, (still looking good👍
Everything came about so quickly today. I’m really happy for Keira and Eli’s new addition Debra but feeling a little sad for Koda’s outcome. It’s fully understandable that he is not ideal for them under the circumstances. I’m with you on that. I’m sure you’ll find a solution for him soon with his best interest at heart. Great video ❤
Me too. 😢 He’s clearly not fit for what he was bought for, but he seems so happy and part of the family. 💔 I’ll be sad to see him go.
I do not like the idea of re-homing. Ugh! Poor Koda. It's coming.
@@bcCurwick Thanks for your feedback, and education, on this subject.
I learned to ride on an older dead broke horse, 7 years on a safe wonderful horse is better than 20 years on a an unpredictable scary horse ❤
Time yes time, what a great statement. I love the nighttime, time lapse, the stars look awesome. Congratulations on the new horse I am sure the kids will love her.
Gabby is looking great! Debbie is so beautiful. I’m terrified of horses and I don’t know why. I think if I had a horse like Debbie, I could get over the hidden fear of horses and bond with Debbie. Thank you for another wonderful video, love from Ohio.
From one horse mom to another, please protect those precious melons, wear helmets!! Just takes a second and can prevent unknown disasters!!!
What a beautiful horse for your children, Jeremy and Melissa.... I'm sure they will experience lots of enjoyment and safety on this sweet horse. Well Done in keeping the children safe... Love and Blessings to you All 🙏❤️🙏❤
WOW THE KIDS HAD SMILES BIGGER THAN THE MOUNTAINS ==SO HAPPY YOU GOT IT FOR THEM IT WILL HAVE A PERFECT HOME ==YOU KNOW WHATS BEST NO MATTER THAT ANY ONE THINKS 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
The big smiles of contentment and joy seal the deal " Lil Debbie's" new family likes and welcomes her to the homestead!! Yay!
Good job Mon n Dad!!
Great work on setting those 2 beams. Big sticks indeed!!
Thanks for sharing the adventure!!!!
🐺🧙♂️🦊
Nice work guys... Too funny that the smallest wall gave you the hardest time... Nice pony Little Debby...! Interesting how she handled herself meeting the guys...! Great for the kids...!Nice video guys...!
Little Debbie is beautiful. I'm almost 67 and still a little afraid of horses. I've ridden a few times but can't say I was fully enjoying it. So good that you were able to find what you needed and the two littles can enjoy the experience without fear.
Never hurts to respect a critter bigger n faster than yourself. I do not own. But I care for horses in my community when their owners need to be away. Still learning all the body language they give. Been stepped on twice...handler error...the don't see too close to their front feet under their head...don't stand too close to their shoulder, stay away from the back end if you don't know the temperament run your fingers along their side when you need to walk by so they are aware of your position, esp if they are eating.
Being present with your kids is just one of the things I love about your parenting practices. ❤
Im always happy if it means a new horse is coming home. I get so giddy for animals .she is beautiful
Congrats on the new horse-loved how she put the boys in their place😂. I’m sure the smaller children will enjoy their time with her. The garage build is going well and I look forward to watch your progress.
Little Debbie is going to be a great addition to the homestead. It is great to watch how you two support each of your children and their needs for the age they are at. Keep up the great work and God bless you all.
Little Debbie is beautiful, I saw so much kindness in her eyes. Horses are so majestic.
The nice thing about the garage part of this build is that you don't need to finish it off like you do living space which should make this build go faster.
Idea = move all the wood with the tractor right by the building site!! Maybe Coda will watch Debbie and how she acts and learn. He may come around faster with her there. Debbie seems like a good fit for the kids and maybe the boys. Thanks for sharing. God bless and protect.
Your end message really hit hard with me today. Our baby boy ( 24yo ) joined the US Space Force and left for basic this past Tuesday May 2nd. I never thought it would be so hard to let go, and never thought I would miss him this much. We are a close nit family much like your own. I am so very proud of him, and the new adventures he has before him, but still want to have a connection and be close, because as you explain time is something we never get back, and it is quite short in the sale of things. I am 52 and hope I have 20 or so more years in me. Oh... My Wife Debbie said she loves the new horses name.
Aww HUGE hugs!! Elu wNts to join Space Force as well. It's a lump in my heart for sure. Prayers for comfort and lots of joy!
Well said. So trueJ.R.❤❤
Your new horse is absolutely adorable. GREAT choice. Congratulations!!! And as far as Coda goes, don't think about selling him as an ending. Think of it as a beginning for HIM, to get him into a situation where he's a positive addition to a different family that is equipped to handle him and he gets to live his best life instead of just being a bit of a problem.
That is exactly, what I think too! Good words! Coda lost a bit of muscles in my opinion. Maybe he need a bit of a different attention or work than Melissa can provide him in order to be even more happy. Melissa, you did a great job with him, but it is even more brave, to recognize in front of all your fiewers, that Coda might be better for someone else.
What a great decision. The kids are going to enjoy riding finally.
How good seeing your two youngest children so happy riding a horse. Your framework for your new build, looks so strong, it is a work of art. It would be almost a shame to cover it up.
Love from Mike. ❤
What a beautiful addition to your family she's def a beauty it's really important for the kids to be comfortable on the horse for sure I've been bit on the back of my shoulder by a horse when I was small my mistake was I got in the pen with them but it didn't discourage me at all I loved all of my horses my mustang was the best though we bonded quickly 😊😊
Lil Debbie is so perfect for your kids. Precious. Perfect pic. Great videography as always. Your new builds is looking good too. What can I say 🥰 🐎
Little Debbie s pretty. She is holing her own with the boys. Koda needs you at this moment. I wish you the very best in your decision, Melissa. ❤❤❤❤. Debbie is definitely a lovely pony for Eli and Kiera.
Congratulations 🎊 she is so pretty 🎉and it's my Birthday today so I'm glad I got to watch a video God Bless ❤
Thank you Kelly!
Little Debbie❤ no future build will have the perceived urgency of your home, plus experience has taught y’all so much that I can’t imagine any other build being as intimidating. You’ve got this!
I find such peace & comfort in watching your family's experiences....
❤️
Great job setting those beams Jeremy, Melissa kept moving the one bold when your back was turned, I seen her do it. 🤥Looks like you have picked the right horse for Keira and Eli, she's gentle with both of them. Stay safe and keep up the fun around there. Fred.
Absolutely beautiful painted pony! And that sheep chewing on Eli's boots 😂😂
i ❤ your Family Channel, it makes Life Better 4 Life !!! ❤❤❤😊🎉
Such a pretty little horse and watching her establish herself right off is what they do. I love your sheep they are adorable.
So happy for the little people for having a horse they can trust. 👍🏻😊🌷
Little Debby snack pony is adorable! ❤😂 Gabby is also coming along nicely, and it’s always lovely to see you all! Have a blessed weekend everyone. ❤
What a wonderful way to end your video. As a 66 year old grandma, I know you are spot on.
And, as former horse owner, I can tell you that you made the right decision. We had to suffer the tragic consequence of ignoring red flags with a horse that we loved dearly. Best wishes with your new girl, she is going to be a great fit!
Thank you so very much
It's great how the new pony worked out so well with Kiera and Eli. Are you going to lay the concrete in the garage soon?
Yes!
Aww, what a sweet horse. The smiles say it all. Such a great decision on your part.
That was an awesome video , I love how your kids are so important in your life. I am waiting for my son to pick me up and spend the day with my two beautiful grandchildren.🇨🇦🥰
Beautiful I love that others realize that time is the most important thing you have to give to your loved ones.
Crazy how fast the garage is going up!! LOVE IT!
Our tuxedo cats name was Debbie.Sadly she passed away 6thmarch this year.Hope you have loads of good times with herxx
It looks like you found a gem of a pony! I think Dakota would prob enjoy a place that had cattle to chase.
‘Debbie’ seems a sweet gentle soul, great for the little ones. The garage is also looking sweet too. Lots of love from the UK 🇬🇧 😘😘
The horse is a much younger version of an old neighbor of mine as a kid....50plus years ago. Very gentle horse.
Kids smile priceless.
❤❤❤ The ONLY channel I drop everyone else to watch! ❤❤❤
Thank you 😊 💓
Wow! She has a beautiful gait!! Then the sheep playing with the boot at the trampoline 🤣🤣
Aw! That's happy and sad. The Koda's is laying there watching the kids give all the attention to the new horse. I hope you can keep him.
Great job on the garage - new horse looks to be a great fit for the kids.
Guys you have a tractor with forks to carry lumber the 100 ft you are carrying by hand!
She's a beautiful pony.
Love seeing the kiddos smiling on the pony. Lil Debbie is beautiful. ❤ brings back memories of me riding horses my grandpa had. Love you all!❤️
Melissa is a wall-raising machine! 😀
I understood your life lessons - AND... I picked up a tip to impress the ladies. Thanks. 👍😊
😆 🤣 😂
Y'all are doing great work on the GABBY!! Now for little Debbie, she is just beautiful and appears to be the perfect horse for the kids. Their faces just lit up when they were riding her! Congratulations on the new member of the family!!!
Awe, little Debbie is beautiful! Keira and Eli will have a blast riding her. I am excited for them! 🤞🤞 for Koda and hope and learn from little Debbie's will manner behavior. What a great parents you two!
You should keep them separated for over a week in case that mare is sick. Often it is good to keep geldings and mares separated. ❤. Good luck.
Little Debbie looks like a perfect fit for the kids! Such a calm pony! The garage is looking wonderful!
The look on the kids faces when they met Debbie and got to ride her for the first time was so heartfelt. Kira's eyes just lit up and Eli's smile ❤ I do understand about Koda and having to make the possible decision of re-homing is a tough one. Keeping the kiddo safe comes first. I wish I had a place set up for horses. Debbie is so gentle and such a great fit! ❤
Love this video and thank you for sharing this journey 😊
Thank you 😊
Congratulations on your new addition to the family. Your so right it is very important too have a horse that your children feel comfortable enough to ride. That is very important to know .. good too see you and have a good week and God bless amen.
I can't wait to see your new addition. I know you have good taste in horses and it will definitely have a great home with you guys.
Without all information,, if I may add ? As a fellow horse poor farmer .. hahah I have found having 3 horses ,one that is older ,the older ones teach the younger on how to be calmer and easy going , the older one will teach them ie, nipping, teaching them to lay down and rest.. it they are both young they play off each other's energy . So 3 is a good thing , watch them for awhile before deciding anything. I just saw a clue in ur video, that confirmed it , Debbie is already doing her job . Teaching. Watch her do it .😊
So happy for Eli and Kiera to have a pony they can share your love of horses.
❤️
How especIal is the moment the kids were having with the charming pony....it will be a new and loving moment❤
Love Little Debbie she is beautiful! I am so happy the children are comfortable and love her and enjoy riding! Love Y’all! Love and Prayers Always
I am so happy you found the PERFECT horse for the kids❤🐎
The horse situation is tough but needs to be delt with. Someone would like to whip Kota into shape. So set him free to be a great horse to someone else. Garage looks great.
Thank goodness for that green tractor to lift up that big beam!
This made my day seeing the new pony and the look on the kids face!
❤️
Another wonderful family segment, full of love and caring for everyone, all God's creatures. God bless you all.
Debbie is beautiful, happy the kids have a well seasoned pony to learn on . I hope you teach them bareback cause that's the connection to learn your legs on them . The gentleness it takes to make them do as you wish is much more clear to pony as children learn reins/bit and squeeze of legs.
Debbie is a perfect fit for your family. I am sure Coda will find his perfect fit too even if it’s not with y’all.
Nice. Very Nice! Thanks for the night sky and the stars video🤗 Y'all have a great view!🤠
That is the perfect pony!
I am so happy you found her.
The pony runs beautifully ❤️😃
Pony story. I had a pony named Debbie Doll. My grandparents had a pony farm back in the day when you could buy a pony for less than $10.00! One time Papa went to buy a pony and brought it home in the backseat of his Buick! Yep, grandma was thrilled, lol! Koda deserves to go to a home that has time to work with him, and that may not be your family.
Very good sized pony. They won’t grow out of her for ages. Good job!
Looking so wonderful!! Your final quote is spot on... I'll be turning 65 this fall and I swear I was 21 yesterday; Great advice to follow- we DON'T have nearly enough time
I saw that utility shed and remembering the old washing machine that set there on the edge. Thats when i started watching you guy's. Love it! 😅😅
The little Gypsy looks like a sweet girl. Just what the children needed. The other boy is a bit to young, he would be good for a young man with more will power then the horse. I had one many years ago similar, had a wild side because he was to young. Nearly killed me twice would roll back on me. Three tie downs later still wild. Traded him for an older quarter. She rode well and very gentle. Much better. Old horses are a blessing. God bless 🙏❤
I hope they keep Koda. He is young and the kids grow older. The horse might fit in the future or he just stays in the family for good.
All the cuttoffs of the beams a bench and two little tables for the apartment
With respect to Coda, Charley Munger (co-CEO of Berkshire Hathaway), told a horse story -- when you have a problem horse, wait until it has a moment of peace, then sell it.
Have you built an enclosure for the sheep? I would hope your horses have a barn with 4 walls. The animals need some protection from the winter. It is so cold that far north. 😢
Little Debbie. I love it!
I love Li'l Debbie! Look at your kiddos smile.
If you decide to rehome Coda I hope he gets a good home for his energy
Debbie is a beautiful Horse!
