Thank you 💞

There’s nothing like a bond between a horse and rider. I used to show before Covid and there was nothing me and my assigned horse couldn’t do together. If we didn’t place that was fine by me. In my book showing isn’t about getting prizes it’s about spending time with the horses

I really Appreciate 💕 how you explained the different disciplines at the horse show .I really learn a lot from you , Thank you 🐎 So much 💕

What a fun day 😃. Everyone did so well, it was really nice seeing your students out there learning and building even more confidence. It's so awesome that you have horses to fill everyone's different needs. Your such an amazing teacher Shae, your students all want to impress you, which is so cool to see, because it really shows the amount of love and respect they all have for you 💜. I'm just so impressed with all these young ladies, you've taught them so well. Congrats to all, FSE really cleaned up.... lot's of ribbons. YaaaY!!!

I love how you manage your stable with a string of well handled/trained horses that your students, who for any number of reasons are not able to own their own horse/pony right now, can still get the thrill and experience of competition. And that you don't place any expectations on horses or riders; yes it's a competition, but at this stage it's mostly about having the opportunity and having FUN !🤩 Gotta luv the Jafar Stallion of the month act! He knows he looks good when he does that! So nice that you know your horses so well. The part about allowing it so he could just get on with things is excellent horsemanship

I'm up watching you not only train your horses but train your students that there's more to riding a horse there's a lot of work that goes into taking care of that horse and it looked to me like you have instilled that in your student which is so important

Wow he was so amazing when he snorted and walked around. He is so beautiful 🤩😍

This is lovely that you do this. What fun! The young girls will remember this forever. I know I do, and I'm 64.❤

I love how your horses take care of their riders no matter who’s on them. They just want please who ever their rider is. Your students are amazing. Congratulations to all of them for a great show. 👍👍for their amazing owner too! ♥️🐴👍😃

What a fun and good excursion!

Oh wow, watching your crew brings back so many memories for me. I never showed ( I broke horses for riding) but had friends who did. This was over 40 yrs ago and so nice to see the shows are still goin on. Watching from Ontario Canada. Good Luck to everyone.

These are the best type of shows…smaller local shows where the horses and young equestrians get some good experience under their belt. All did beautifully ♥♥♥♥

Gefar was so hilarious with all his snorting and prancing! He looked so handsome, and full of himself. Lol!

That was amazing to watch! Very relaxing, no pressure. Congratulations to your students who obviously have a wonderful teacher and mentor! 🥰 Their youth and enthusiasm for horses and experience radiates 🐴🙌🏼! ❤

So wish I had met someone like you when I was a teenager. I was horsemad but my mom was NOT! So I got into trouble instead. Riding teaches respect and discipline. I had to wait until I was 30 to ride. Shows are fun! The most fun I had on Bongo was taking him to a Parade. Maybe you could do that with your horses and students.

They all had so much fun. I like how your students take care of their horses. The horses deserve it. They were all so beautiful. Gefar is so pretty when he prances. That is the friesian in him

It's been a lot of years since I showed my horses! Really great to see these young gals enjoying this fun activity. They all looked great!

Some of my favorite memories was going to the fairgrounds and sleeping in the stall with my horse and waking up with him laying next to me. Those were the days. I miss em.

I just love seeing your students as they gain experience and confidence, and the horses as well! Your horses always look so great! ❤

I thought your horses looked very good. They reflected your training, care, and skill. The ladies are very fortunate to have you and Kyle. Your hard work is definitely shows.

Nice to see a coach wanting the students to have fun and be safe. Some take it so so seriously!

I really enjoyed getting to see your students show experience. Please thank your students for being willing to share with all of us on the internet. Your students have such quiet hands and seat that it was really just a pleasure to see. ❤😃

Your students and horses, did such a good job xx

🎊🎉Happy, Happy Birthday, Ms. Piper! You and Jafar are rockin. What a horse-girl resume you're going to have with all your English pleasure and equitation shows! Yay! Shae, your riding-school girls show your horses so very well. Bagheera, you are so special 🦄🦄

Happy birthday Piper! Piper and Jafar did amazing! Bagheera did very well for her age! Most horses around bagheera’s age ik have to be put on stall rest bc their too old but bagheera did amazing! So did everyone and I’m rly surprised how well Zazu did on those transitions!

The girls all looked so professional and classic and they all seemed relaxed and confident in the spotlight.The horses were so well behaved and chill as well (pre show jitters are totally normal) Congratulations to you and your students and you're behind the scene helper, your husband. Nice work everyone! Great job!

Congratulations to all!! Your students are amazing riders and horsepeople and last but not least your horses are all gems - great work!

I grew up going to this county fair. I always headed to the horse barn and did a walk around. So many good memories. LOL! I always entered sewing project and vegetables. Still sewing and gardening.

What fun to watch. You are so aware of your horses. So in tune. They are calm and work smoothly with their rider. Wonderfully done.

I love the way you teach your students.

That was so fun to watch. Curious horses put their noses out the trailer window. Love that. Your students seem so nice. It's the best to go to schooling shows with your riding buddies & riding on nice horses is an extra bonus (they all looked so healthy). It all kind of melted my heart, especially seeing Jafar do a showy trot.

A horse show I could watch!! No noses pulled down between their front legs!!I hate that in today’s equitation realms😞you’re a super trainer in my book, Shae💖

Shae and Kyle, what a super show! Each of the horses are unique and so well behaved! Each moves to the "beat" of their different bodies. Jafar and Baghera have fascinating smoothness, especially Jafar. He hasn't found the right new home yet. But I'm sure he wouldn't mind being with your homies forever! Wahoo! 🤠🐎🐎🐎🐎❣

Hi again SHAE It's challenging to find good reliable trainable lesson horses but yours are just wonderful. Such a great way to build confidence in your students to have reliable horses under them. Impressed with the girls independence too in the full care of the horses for the show. You do a great job with your program Shae for both the horses and students. Good foundations for both. Thx as always for sharing your fun day. Catcha next time.

loved every minute watching your beautiful horses and brilliant students. fab video. thank you x

Thanks for taking us along. Always fun😊

I like that you keep your students in uniforms and they look professional. It makes a difference. I am enjoying all your shows and programs. Well done.

Congratulations to all your students who went to the show!! They did a great job in such a large class. So proud of them all as well!! Best Regards from your friend, the Retired Paramedic and Horse Trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn 💖 🇨🇦

Students and horses did very well - they are all a credit to you and your teaching/training 😁

Fun video. Thanks for bringing us along. There's a local show here this weekend and now I'm inspired to go. It's been dreadfully hot this summer so we'll have to watch the weather.

Gated horses are a blast to ride. We had one when I worked at a day camp. If the group that was slotted for say the 10 o'clock hour didn't show up us wranglers would take some horses off property to play hide and seek. We had bareback pads. I would ride the gated horse. We would have some much fun out there hiding amongst the trees and going on various trails, etc. Nothing like getting paid to ride horses all summer long. Sadly I don't remember the mare who was gated. She was wide and so easy to ride due to this. 😁

I love the he encouragement you give all your students and horses.

Thank you so much for sharing your day. It was magical to watch. So much warmth & kindness comes shining through it really is so enjoyable to see every video you make. Sending love 💖🇬🇧

Everyone did soo good!! Hope you guys had an amazing time❤

Well done students!! You should be proud. You all looked wonderful. Splendid horses one n all ⭐️ 🐴❤️ Kkkatie 2:06

I wish I lived in Michigan so I could join your riding program, I love how well you treat all your students and horses! Looks like so much fun.

Brings back memories. What fun!!😊

All the students and horses looked great! Looked like a beautiful day as well! I love that you also teach sportsmanship. I think, no matter what sport a person is in, sportsmanship says so much about not only the player/rider/skater, etc. but it says a lot about the coach and their program. So well done! ❤

Great job to all of you guys! You are an amazing trainer shae! ❤

This is so interesting. I’m glad you did this video. Giving your students a chance to get the feel of showing what they have learned with their horses yet, not expecting anything more than to get exposure to this and enjoy themselves.

Heh, that little girl was like her idol. Screaming red lipsick and pale face 😂😍

Ahhh this brings back so many happy memories for me that I had almost forgotten about. I did a few western equitation and halter shows with my Bay gelding Storm in the mid 90’s when I was around 10 years old, and we won 1st place in equitation once. Stormy was such a good boy. He lived to be about 31 and my mom had had him since he was a colt ❤
