That 17 hand guy is gorgeous... what's 1 hand😉🤣 Kyle would look great on him!

He was gorgeous but I always consider height in terms of the need to get off and back on while trail riding. My limit is 15.3. Used to be 16.0 but dang this shrinking as I age is eye popping. I don’t want to hunt for tree stumps or rocks to get back on. He was gorgeous though.

He is definitely a big horse! Makes you look small!

The horse that was 17 hands did not look that big until you walked next to him. That’s a really tall horse. I think he’s moving nicely and I really like the overall feel 😊

That gargantuan draft cross is absolutely gorgeous!! 😮

I actually laughed out loud when Kyle measured the horse against himself to determine it's height. My husband does that too! ❤😅

I like how Kyle is drawn to the ponies, LOL! I know how he feels ... my parents never let me have a pony, worried that I would get too attached and be heartbroken when I outgrew them. Only full-size horses for me throughout childhood, but I still want a pony as an adult. ❤ 😊 🐴

I have to say, the Morgan horse was realy nice. My second horse was a Morgan & quarter horse, she was so gentle. I named her sue. After I moved out my dad sold her & she was put in a pasture with her twin babies. She WAS the BEST Hoese I ever had.

Your auction searches are so informative! Yes, you are absolutely correct...you have to be picky at an auction. Yes, it sucks to have to pass up a what-could-be amazing horse with just 1 or few small flaws. But, again, its a complete gamble. Ive not been to an auction in over 20 years. Last time we did, we came home with my Ranger, who was just 9 months old at the time. He's almost 22 now.

I have seen those marks before on some ex racehorses at 10:28. It looks to be scars from a treatment called pin firing. Pin firing is a treatment for different kinds of leg injuries like tendon and ligament injuries and stuff. It's not a very common treatment anymore as there are much better ways of treating these injuries, but some people still do it....... Which is weird

@@mandycook9037 I love that, send some sane lawmakers to the states please! I have never seen the procedure done personally, just the scars left behind but I have always thought of it to be rather barbaric. Thankfully, I have only seen this twice before in the last 10 years, so it is very very uncommon but in my opinion should absolutely be a punishable offense by law.

I think Kyle would be content with a pen full of ponies!😂

What a busy schedule 3 auctions in 25 hours. What an admirable focus you both have on your mission, passion, care and consideration on the equine stock species. Good Luck and enjoy your auction adventure! ☮️💟❤️🐎🐈‍⬛❤️

The draft was a giant....Ezzy will get there some day 😊

I love gentle giants, my goal is to own one some day. Nothing fancy just trail riding and general equitation a retired working draft would be perfect. I already own a gentle giant dog and cat, next up is a horse.

YEAHHH so excited, love you from the Netherlands Aww love love the giant brown draft!!! So gentle and sweet.

Both those giant horses (the bay outside and the giant black one inside) were so gorgeous! Absolutely massive! I would have loved a horse like that, but yeah haha I can absolutely see that being too massive for some lol

Love, love love that huge cross bred draft horse. Absolutely gorgeous.

Love seeing all the auctions. Also love the comments on the horses. I had a Missouri Fox Trotter that looked like a small Clydesdale. I sold him as I didn’t know what I was doing and he was a great trail horse. No time for a horse and didn’t want to ruin him. I just love them from afar.

The big bay with the star, he's so so great. He could do dressage successfully I think.

Buy the beautiful donkey, also guard the property! best looking donkey have ever seen!

That huge draft cross is gorgeous! I love tall horses so much!! I ride a 16.2 hand Suffolk punch gelding at my lesson barn named Cedar! Cedar is 12 years old. I don’t lease or own him sadly

I am only 5'2", but prefer a 16 hand horse. I like a longer back to sit on vs. a short, compact horse. My ex was 6'4", and he had a horse under 15 hands. If he tipped side to side, that horse almost fell over. Make sure your husband gets a horse for his size.

The huge horse was simply gorgeous ❤. Too bad to be so short ! The horse you eventually choose will be a beauty, I have no doubt !! 🙏

@anafonseca5944

Literally! 😂 she got a horse named Beauty, this comment aged well

The white dots discoloring the hair on the one horse if it is true discoloration it could mean the horse was pin fired for an injury (Pin firing aka thermocautery). You see it a lot on race horses on the track. You would need to feel for scar tissue. You can look it up and see how those white areas look exactly like a pin firing treatment.

I love your thoughtfulness and purpose in everything you do. Great horsewoman

I LOVE big comfortable draft cross horses!! Feel so amazing under saddle ( at my age Im all about the comfort) 😅

I love watching your action videos! ❤ Thanks for bringing us along on the search Shae! ❤ :)

You've certainly had a busy week! 2 training videos and now an auction video.

Thank you so much for taking us on your auction adventures. I get excited just as if I am there with you. Most moments make me happy but always a few that bring a tear to my eye. Happy holidays Shea and Kyle. You and the rest of the Free Spirit family are always in my prayers.💕🙏🏼

The draft cross is absolutely stunning. 😍

I really do like the 17hh bay. He works so well on the snaffle.

I learn SO MUCH from your auction videos! (not information I necessarily NEED to know, as a NYC apartment dweller, but still!) That enormous black horse was a stunner....

He reminds me of Clyde cross that we had same size but was so smooth in the trot, could jump preliminarily fences xc , drive a carriage through heavy traffic, could do flying changes, trail ride, and pack kids around. Best horse we’ve ever owned. I haven’t finished video but I hope you buy him. If I were there I’d snatch him up!

The big bay had a beautiful temperament , loved him.

Ive been waiting for the next auction vlog!! I rlly like to see how you look at how the horses are built and the tips you give are so so helpful! Thank you, you are really inspiring to both me and many other equestrians! You always cheer me up when you post, love your videos and your horses and ofc the other animals❤

Thank you for taking us along for another interesting auction video.....The huge bay draft was beautiful, as was the huge black horse...i have a soft spot for the heavier set horses, the gypsy cob being my favourite and the one that gave me back my confidence following a nasty fall....i look forward to the next auction, the right horse is out there waiting for you, how lovely it would be if you could bring one home for Christmas 🎄...🐎

In the 1st sale, the white spaced squares on the back leg looked like he was pin fired. You’d see it a lot on thoroughbreds many years ago. Not sure if that was it or not. Very controversial procedure. Thanks for taking me along. Have a great day!

I love watching horse auctions with you and Kyle. Love your channel.

Cleveland Bay that’s a horse breed l haven’t heard in a long time Shae, so many beautiful horses in this video, let’s see what the next auction brings, tfs x Julie 🇬🇧

The auction videos are so informative. Hearing what goes into the selection process is fascinating.

I liked the first big bay you saw being ridden. In my area he would be in demand if he had a good brain.

I loved all those horses! im a big fan of horses and used to have 3 horses but we sold them all. Im currently taking horse lessons atm which i love! anyway merry christmas!!

Enjoyed you bringing us along love seeing all the different breeds

I love all of the auction videos! They are always educational and fun!❤

That draft cross would definitely be the one I would personally choose if I had the room for him and was more experienced. But it’s always nice to dream ☺️ Those ponies are adorable and beautiful. Kyle is so right it’s a gamble. You find that one certain horse that fits what you want, you’re patient and not in a hurry. I love going along with you and getting your take on the different horses. Thank You for sharing and may you, Kyle and all your animals have a safe and Merry Christmas!

I'm in love with the giant Bay cross. All my Warmbloods were over 17 hh so that looks normal to me!! I'm a dressage rider and I would buy him, with a bit of work he would be an amazing mover. He naturally carries himself really well and had a really good brain from what I can tell. I love his thick neck!! I know this was a while a go but I'm seeing this for the first time and I would buy him in a heart beat, he seems like a gentle giant! I think I'm in love! lol

The white dots on that black horse is probably freeze firing (cold method of pin firing)
