WILL MY NEW MARE GET ALONG WITH THE HERD?!

- Hey Horse Lovers! We were hit with SO much snow over the weekend! Today we are going to see how Belle integrates with the herd! Will she be the Boss Mare? Will she get along with the other horses? Watch to see how I integrate and do my best to give her a smooth transition. Here is a little background: Belle of the Ball is a 7 year old Dapple Grey, Percheron X (we think Andalusian too) who is just under 16.2hh. I bought her at an auction a little over two weeks ago and TODAY we begin her training. In this video you will get to see her meet the herd and acclimate. You will also get to spend this winter day with us at Free Spirit Farm and as a BONUS you will get to see my FIRST LIBERTY Session with Buzz Lightyear! IF YOU ENJOY MY CONTENT SUBSCRIBE!

I'm with you on keeping horses out as much as possible. They are outdoor animals. They would rather be outside grazing with their buddies in inclement weather than in a barn. We have a barn but prefer large pastures with run-in sheds they can use if they wish - which they never do. Always feel sorry for the expensive dressage/event horses you see standing in stalls under sheets/blankets from ears to rump 24/7/365, bell boots, leg wraps on all four, ear bonnets on if they ever step outside. They are put into small corrals so they can't run around and hurt themselves (?). Then they wonder why the horses are crazy and flip out over everything? Yeeesh. Let them be horses, people!
Yes OMG everything you said is exactly how I feel!
@@freespiritequestrian Oddly enough, you know the super expensive Thoroughbred stallions worth tens of hundreds of millions of bucks? They mostly live outside in large paddocks. They are only brought into the barns for grooming, feeding or in the event of dangerous weather. Otherwise they are outside with cameras to monitor them. I've seen these incredibly expensive studs in the winter, shaggy as bears because they are roughing it in the open. Same with the mares. That's a good life for a horse.

Could not agree with you more! Just purchased my dressage horse in August this year. She as 6 year old that has never been in the pasture grazing with other horses before in her life. I’m of a firm believer that a horse must be a horse to be happy and productive. She loves being with the rest of the herd (6). Still does silly things that gets weird looks from the other horses, but she’s happy and much more willing to work.
Yup I agree too. It's where they should be and bad weather bringing them in is smart so their protected and warm from the elements. Great job!
She is so beautiful & moves so effortlessly she looks like she is floating when she trots & gallops. Looks like she definitely won't take any crap either!! Good for her, she stands up for herself!! Love you, BELLE!!!💜
Agreed!!
Really impressed with the progress that Buzz has made since he’s been with you at Free Spirit. He is one smart little dude and will make some youngster their dream pony.
Thank you!
Marvelous voice control and you only have to do it once!…..I wish I were you…all that space for their freedom and still have separation room if needed! I am 77 now and still love these @nimals…..ahhhh…. To have an indoor ring!!…you are blessed!! Don’t mind my iPad….. it messes up every day!!…thanks for sharing!!……Cute!!
I noticed that Gaston has improved with his confirmation under your training and continuing. I appreciate that you keep the horses until they grow to be the best they can be! Congrats.
Thank you!!! That’s an awesome compliment 💖.
Super impressed with buzz and his groundwork, he’s so smart with even your communication to switch from trot to canter to walk, AmaZing, he’s a superstar 🌟
Thank you! I’m so proud of him.
I just came back to see Belle again. I had forgotten how beautiful she is when she runs. She takes my breath away.
❤️❤️❤️
Buzz sure listens and stays focused. What a little gem.
When I saw Belle running free by herself in the paddock in the snow....it brought tears to my eyes. One word: Freedom. :)
I love this so much 💖
Belle frolicking across the new snow was simply breathtaking. She looked magnificent. So glad she adapted.into the herd so well. Buzz is so cute. He has changed a lot since you got him.
Thank you so much!
Belle looks so happy while prancing through the fresh snow. She’s a beauty! I’m loving seeing how well little Buzz is doing too ❤. It just goes to show how horses are capable of sensing who they can trust. Great job Shea! 😊🐎
They truly are 💖
I love that you’d rather let your horses enjoy their freedom roaming a paddock rather then standing in a stall all day, tons of people don’t do that and it’s truely a blessing to see. They are definitely living their best lives! I don’t think I’ll ever stop watching your videos. You’re incredible and i just want you to know that! god bless :)
Awesome!!!!
I agree! I look forward to the videos.
I love the videos where you introduse the horsrs to the herd! ❤💘
Glad you like them!
I love watching Belle run, she's very muscular yet beautiful. There's a saying , There is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a human!
I so agree!
Gates and everything SO expensive!!! We have a system that helps in Youngstown Ohio Pittsburgh pa area. We buy gift cards from giant eagle grocery stores. Get gas points and buy feed etc w gift card. Home Depot for barn item. Also surplus stores w excess stuff, i. e. Windows, tubs shelving. Any cash saved helps. Love your farm and every animal on it!!! Piggy and puppy too!😄
Forgot tractor supply gift cards help rack up gas money!!!
That's what I was thinking too, she's big and muscular and deep chested. There's some native Appaloosa in her with that broad nasal arch and stockier muscled legs.
Yessssss!!!
Buzzy bee is such a cute and smart pony...he has come a long way. You do such good work with your horses Shay. I'm glad Belle is getting along well with the herd 👍
Thank you so much! I’m glad too 😊
I think Belle is embodiment of what would be caled Ambler/Palfrey in medieval times. Elegant-looking, mild-mannered horse with smooth gait. She is running so smoothly.
I find myself smiling ear to ear during every one of your videos! You clearly are an amazing horsewoman! I love your independent nature and sense of self. Thank you for sharing!
Wow, thank you!
I agree. Videos from your farm make my day!!!
Watching Belle run in the snow reminded me of the cartoon "Spirit". Her dark mane and stockings look so much like the horse in the movie.
Buzz did amazing today. Your hard work shows. Belle did well mixing with the herd. Enjoy them both.
I am truly impressed with Buzz’s progress! Obviously he has bonded with you! All of your horses look to you for leadership. I love your videos, keep them coming!
Thank you so much!
Watching her trot and run through the snow looks like something you’d see in a movie or in the wild!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰❤❤❤❤❤❤
Love it!!
She is absolutely gorgeous! Especially in the snow! I'm so happy for you that you got her!
I’m so thankful for her!
Fabulous Training with Buzz. He's very smart and he listens well. Just goes to show that treating a pony like a true "little horse" and not just a stuffed animal gets the most out of them and makes them a stellar companion. Belle is sooo pretty moving out in the pasture. I'm sure with a little more ground work her muscles will develop more and she'll even show more of her lovely conformation.
You’re 100% correct!
Shea, your are an amazing horse trainer. They all love and respect you. Oh my , that gait was truly a handful to get installed
Loved the video on Buzz, he is a wonderful pony. Belle is going to be wonderful at anything she is trained for in the equestrian world. I loved the snow shots of the barn and paddocks.
I love your comment! Thanks for your support 💖
Belle looks so beautiful in the snow! All horses do!❤❤❤
I am so proud of you the dedication you put into these horses 🐎 is brilliant love your channel xxxx
Thank you so much!
So glad Belle got along with everyone. So proud of how Buzz did on his first time doing liberty. He's so smart and willing!
Thank you! I’m so proud 💖
I really like Buzz. He moves like a warmblood. Lol. I'd LOVE to peer into his genetics❤
Totally agree with you on the 24-7 turnout and have stall experience in case needed. What a darling Belle is, you sure found a gem!
You’re honestly so good at working with horses, look at how buzz is listening to you❤️
Oh thank you!
Buzz is so special. I love that pony!!!
Our horses were free to run in and out. In cold weather, they would gallop to warm up. To call them, I would whistle and they would gallop home and enter their stalls. I miss them all.
Belle looks positively majestic in the snow, she's one classy mare for sure... ❄️ .....Buzz is so responsive, he really has come on in leaps and bounds...keep warm, Winter isn't quite done with us yet!...🐎
You’re right! Not quite haha.
Aww Bell looked amazing in the snow and how good was little buzz. You do a great job with them.
Glad Belle's getting along with the herd. Buzz is coming along great. I love seeing all the horses. I love them all to much to have a favorite. ❤😊
I just love the way she moves. I know she's a crossbred but sometimes she looks like an andalusian horse. Loveeee her!!!! Loved the video, Shae!!
We think Andalusian is her other half 💖.
Hello.
I'm a 58 ole cowgirl and cross bred horses are my all time favs ❤💚💙
Wow! Wow! Wow! Belle running in the snow looked like a movie shot - so beautiful
❤️❤️❤️
I love seeing the horses run in the pasture.
They are absolutely beautiful
Nettie
The way you teach youre horses is just amazing how they can walk,trot and canter without the lunge is just awesome. Love your channel.💖
Thank you so much!
Belle is One Beautiful Amazing Of An Horse Women
i love horses i am a equestrian i can canter and accident galluped
Buzz is sooo cute! His little face looking up through the stall grate to greet you is precious. Miss Belle watches you more than she watches the other horses. Your are her alpha "mare" and she wants to have you stay that way without competition from the others for your attention. The others know this, so expect some competition among them over you. Kyle is such a great helper. Nice to have strength when needed, such as opening the barn door when it's stuck. I wonder how the horses view him. I'd bet them place him in the hierarchy as being the second human, you being the first because you directly handle and take care of them while he supports you. The "herd" is bigger than just the horses.
Lol this comment is awesome! The horses like Kyle but we all know who the apple of their eye is 😂😂😂🍎🍎.
Belle doing so good with all the other horses!! I knew she would since she’s such a sweet girl!! I love seeing all the horses running together in the big pasture, so beautiful!!
Thank you so much!!
Belle is so gorgeous! I love your videos so much and i love what you do. I totally agree on keeping your horses out as much as you can. They need freedom and play time. I resantly lost my 34 year old paint gelding and watching your videos makes me smile. You are amazing equestrian and i can't wait to watch more videos!
I totally agree!
Crazy puppy. Having WAY TOO MUCH FUN RUNNING AROUND IN THE SNOW!!
Husband and wife are really a great team, I just watched them at auction for Bell.
Thank you!
Question: How many acres of pasture do you have for grazing only? Our youngest graduates in May and our dream is to sell this big house we no longer have any use for in the city. Now that it’s just hubby and I, we’re ready to search for our little slice of heaven that can support up to 4-5 horses, plus one mule for Pa Hubby.😂
This is such a happy video! It's amazing to see your work with Buzz. Also, Mushu is a little attention hog, but he earns the attention by being so cute!
I love your videos! I found you about 6mos ago. Any horse in your care is so very lucky. I never had my own horse, but I was able to ride quite a bit. My dream has been to have my very own horse. You are so lucky that you are doing something you love. By the way, your husband is an awesome man and i like how he supports you in whatever you’re doing. Does he ride? I‘ve gotten carried away, sorry.
What lovely videos you make and you should definitely get all the support you need. You and your horses are wonderful and it's wonderful to see. I will keep watching!
Glad they are all getting along. I'm just so amazed at Buzz's progress understanding work commands. Your an amazing trainer. Horse/pony Whisperer
Awww thank you 😊
Buzz did a great job . He is learning so fast amazing job Shae .. cant wait to see more with mr buzz...😊 Love seeing Ms. Belle out with the other horses was beautiful to see . Loved watching the horse's playing in the snow was so beautiful to see .. Ty for sharing your video's with all of us...😁
More to come!
Belle is such a beautiful, healthy Momma❤
Love how you use words. I hate it when people think their horses can guess what the human wants!
Agreed!
You made me laugh when you mentioned your gate overlapping. You are not the only one that it bugs. But no one will notice unless they are OCD. ❤
You take such good care of your horses and it shows in so many ways. The time you take in the beginning gives such wonderful responses in the end. Your horses love and respect you just as you love n respect them.
It’s definitely a lot of work but also super rewarding.
So beautiful, watching them meet Belle and then run off and play. Nothing's better, than happy horses. I loved it!
Loved the update on Buzz!! So awesome to see his transformation. Seeing where these horses start, then to see the progress made with you along the way… I think it’s incredible what you are doing and your mission. Truly giving these horses a chance at a good life!
Can’t wait to see where things go with Belle!
Thanks so much!
Wow I’m totally amazed by how he understands voice commands and does what he’s asked, especially since he’s not restrained!
I just started watching you and decided to start at the beginning of Belles videos. What a true Gem you have there. Watching her prance and run is beautiful. What a beautiful stepper she is. Congratulations, you and she are so lucky to have found one another. A gift from God.
This one was SO MUCH FUN. Every time I see Belle she seems more beautiful. The way she moves against the snow! Breathtaking. The introduction to the herd was so low key, wonderful. BUZZ has come so far! That was amazing to watch. Your hint... it seems... like it may be what I was wondering.... can't wait!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love Belle. She is exactly that type of horse I wish to own in the future, especially in appearance ( though I prefer bay horses ).
Yea, the snow was CRAZY! But I love this video! happy early St Patrick’s day!
Same to you!
Ok Buzz Lightyear is the smartest pony I've seen 😂 Your training is amazing!!!!
Isn’t he funny? Haha thanks!
Finally found a perfect channel for me!
Kyle to the rescue! 😂 Belle is so beautiful!
I won’t bell so bad I with is had her ❤❤❤❤❤
I love your videos. I am 65 and all my life I have had horses and now I can no longer care or ride them. It breaks my heart but watching your videos makes it better. Keep sending the awesome videos. Belle is so beautiful.
Thank you! So sorry you can’t ride though :(.
Yes! You knew it, we have been chopping at the bit to see Belle with the herd. 🐎🐎🐎🐎 and it was lovely. Thank you Shae, for bringing us into your farm and family. ♥
Glad you enjoyed it
Great update. Belle is just gorgeous. And little Buzz….🤗🤗🤗
I dream of this when I get a horse. I could never imagine constant stalling and feel like the only way to ethically keep a horse is mostly outdoors. We have such an awful culture of keeping these big babies in basically prison cells their whole lives when they should be living like this with minimal stall time! THIS is how you keep horses and how you let your horses be truly happy and healthy.
Agreed!!!!
I follow you on tiktok and when i came across this video i was like "hmmm... she looks like that one girl on tiktok who owns Belle." and then you said "goodmorning belle" and i instantly knew. Hows her foal doing?
That’s so cool! The foal isn’t here yet :).
I feel like belle was Definitely loving her pasture mate they are " super model" horses and just look stunning together
Thank you!!
She's gorgeous, you are going to love that trot.
It is heartwarming to see a horse that could potensialy ended up at a slaughterhouse go on and have their best lives. Thank you for saving her and may you and Belle go on and have many more years of friendship ahead.
So Belle DID meet & get along with the others!
This is off the subject of your wonderful care of your horses! I love your new lip color today and it goes with everything you ware!
Thank you so much!
Fences/gates usually need repair when it’s raining or freezing. That’s what my partner noticed🤣. But it needs to be done so we get out and do it. Those heavy duty gates should last a lot longer. I love your philosophy on stalls, great to have when you need them, but best to have the horses out as much as possible. 👍🐴. Belle is such a gem❤️🐴❤️
And Buzzy Bee did SO well. You are bringing out the best in him.⭐️
Thank you!!! Yes the darn gates haha. Oh well I’m glad they are installed now 💖.
I love your new mare!❤ Her coat is beautiful and she reminds me of an Andalusian that I follow on another channel. She sure seems to have nicely integrated into the herd.
Oh thank you!
So so beautiful outside!!!!
Belle is so very beautiful!
I am in tears! I am so moved to see your liberty work and what your love and trust has meant to Buzz. I've done some rescue of abused animals, a few horses included. I am so so moved by what you are doing for your horses at Free Spirit. You are my hero, woman! Wish my life circumstances would have allowed me to have a farm. So happy to have found you on You Tube and am sending you good vibes and prayers daily! Much love to you and the critters!
I think you guys got all of our Western PA snow because we got hardly any. We did get a lot of winds and rain though. I know now why Belle reminds me of an Arabian. The origins of the Percheron are local mares from La Perche, France and Arabian stallions that were bred to them. It explains so much. Glad Belle did great with the herd. Buzz is proving to be so smart and Mushu likes to be the comedian. You got a great gang there.
I definitely love my herd and all of their “unique” qualities haha!
These are my favorite videos when you introduce them to the herd
Yay!!!
What a beautiful horse! She's my favorite! ❤
Awesome!
She is very beautiful, she would look beautiful in Baroque tack. You should think about Working Equitation, it's good for the horse and soo much fun.
Great suggestion!
A big surprise with Belle? She's pregnant, isn't she?
Didn’t say that! Lol
Great video showing all the work house owners do. Belle did great with the other horses and Buzzy did great with his liberty training. Have you every done a video explaining the basic monthly cost of owning a horse and the basic daily routine? That would be helpful to anyone considering getting a horse for the first time.
I’m going to be doing a video on that topic soon.
Belle is so gorgeous. I can imagine her doing well in dressage. She just floats.
Yes!
I cannot tell you how much I enjoy you, your hubby, your horses/ponies, your adorable dog.....just everything! I so enjoy your channel...immensely! Your pig is adorable, too!
Yay!!!
Well, my 88 year old Mother has a few things to say to you Shea. In watching this video Mother remarked what a crappy job you had cleaning out the stalls (no pun-intended) LOL Mother also was quite impressed with how fast you got your work done and was hoping I would learn that from you too. 😂 too cute! You go Mom! She is such a joy in my life.
Omgosh, Belle looks lovely out there flying around in the beautiful snow. To me Belle acts a little snooty and full of herself. I guess being a mare she’s feel like she’s arrived and doesn’t need to prove and thing to anyone in her horse world.
It would be interesting to know if the Amish family kept any of her foals, how many she’s had and how many live births she’s had.
I could not be more pleased that she’s going to be your student for awhile.
She’s got it together! You go Belle of the Ball! ❤ the tail! 😊
💖💖💖
Thank God you understand to not leave halters on when loose! They are dangerous!
Yes, it would be so scary 😧
She's a beauty. So nice to see her flagging her tail esp after she was separated from her foal. It restores faith in humanity to see people such as yourself give the best they possibly can to these special beings. TFS your journey with Bella. I love watching these updates with each horse.
Actually according to the vet she wasn’t recently separated from a foal. That was just a possibility.
I am sure someone will complain that you keep the horses out. They don’t understand that mostly they like it. My daughter has a delightful husky shepherd mix. Sweet funny dog. When it snows she d wants to stay outside. She runs like a wolf and just can’t stand coming in from the yard. If you insist she hangs her head and acts so pitiful. The horses feel the same way. I still think Belle spent too much time alone on the Amish farm. The first time she saw the others, she held her head high and ignored them. Then she started showing off. 😂😮
Yes, it’s so interesting to see how she responds to the changes 💖 .
Poor Kyle. He seems to constantly have a long to do list. Handy to have a good husband!! 😎💓
Once Belle gains all the skills she needs, There are 2 people I recommend that could be great owners for her. They love large breed horses. There names are: Jesse Drent and Matt Harnacke. Both have awesome TH-cam channels too. :) One of the skills they succeed in is Dressage. :)
💖💖💖
I agree totally with regard to Jesse and Matt. Emporio has a twin sister in Belle.
What you have done with buzz is awesome what a good boy!!
Thanks!
I love the work you're doing and your energy! I've never had horses but I have canines and study dog training. I enjoy watching horse trainers to compare training notes and you are so amazing at using positive reinforcement with your horses. Thanks for being a great example!
Awesome! Thank you! Why type of dog breeds do you work with or prefer?
The beauty is overwhelming! 🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎
Simply another amazing video!! ❤️🐎🦄 Can't deny how stunning the slow motion trot in the snow is and how far Buzz has come!! It just shows how good of a horsewoman you are to just bring out the best in them ALL!!
Also, shout out to Jiminy Cricket showing off that effortless flying lead change in the snow!! 🤩
Thank you so much!
Woah!! Belle did so well adjusting to the herd, and they all seemed to get along great! Totally amazing to see her already being relaxed with them. And Buzz’s improvement is crazy!! He is truly one amazing little pony 😍. Also, I have good news: I am getting riding lessons soon!! I am so unbelievably excited! Your channel has done so well in already teaching me things I need to know about horsemanship, and I’m excited to apply what I’ve already learned. 🥰❤️
Oh my gosh that’s amazing!!!!
I’m here in late 2024 rewatching the Belle playlist and she is just so stunningly beautiful! All of them are beautiful in their way but Belle is just special, she’s that perfect 10!
She’s an amazing horse I can’t wait to see how she does
Same! 💖
Belle is a wonderful mare and so beautiful. ❤❤❤Love this video of beautiful Belle. 😍❤❤❤
