The horses look so sad. Breaks my heart😢

My heart breaks for these horses. You can see on most of them, they look so sad. Animals are smarter than what we give them credit for and I truly believe they knew what was going on. I hope you get the horse you want from that guy.

Is there no organization that will prosecute the ones that are clearly cases for neglect, why don't the auction people give the names over to the authorities? I an not from America so not sure how animal cruelty cases are handled, extremely sad watching these poor innocent animals, l am glad they are mentioned in the Bible as being in heaven, that is the only good thing about their release from this earth .

You are rescuing and you are giving them love and attention❤

I know the feeling… I’ve cried over many horses… especially working on the track and it’s a claiming race. Walking them out to the paddocks… then prepared to retrieve them after they’ve won, place or showed. Then they’re gone. And you walk back empty handed, bawling your eyes out with their lead rope and halter while the others walk back behind you with their tack. 😭🥺. Worst feeling in the world. X5. Still hurts to this day… but other horses come and go. I love what you do. Even if a horse is only “yours” for a few hours or years, they remain in your heart. Hugs.

I've never understood the rationale behind a Claiming Race. If the owner and trainer have put all that money and effort into training a good horse for a race, and if the horse wins, the owner loses the horse. Some random person just walks up and claims it; don't understand it at all!

There are very few purpose driven people out there who affect people and horses the way Shae does. She is such a kind and informative person. I never attended a horse auction I so had never heard about the loose pen horses. I did discover another channel called the The Clever Cow Girl who only rehabs the loose pen horses and rehomes them. It's amazing to see two such devoted horsewomen out there educating the public and bettering the lives of the horses they work with on a daily basis.

That horse was amazing, you should consider buying him, cause i would love to see him in your videos and vlogs all of the time! Keep us posted Shae, We love you!

I absolutely love your professional way of looking for a horse and at the same time let your heart speak. Both things are equally important. Knowing what to look for is extremely important for this kind of auction. Not looking for a rescue is in my opinion a very good thing to do! ❤ Ps. Sorry you didn’t win the auction. Everything happens for a reason for sure and if it is ment to be, he ‘ll be yours.

That was a beautiful horse! Loved his blue eyes❤❤❤

He's a beauty. Some of those horses are breaking my heart though. 🥺

I was literally hoping you'd post like 5 minutes ago! I love watching your content and updates on the farm. I can't wait to see what happens

GLAD YOU EXPLAINED THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOUR HORSE AND A RESCUE HORSE

Always love you auction videos and how you explain the good, the bad and the ugly it's so lovely to see someone doing what you are and your morals if you were in the UK I'd offer to work for free just to learn and ride again 😊 xxx

Agree! All of Shea's videos are interesting and very creative; even the Shorts. I thought she might have trained as a graphic designer or in visual arts, and was surprised to learn that she had not.

It was interesting seeing all of the different horses, not sure I could handle going though… I am so tender hearted and feel a deep empathy for them as they are there and hopefully a great person will get them and give them a good home… I think too much of what might be going through their head being in a situation that is uncertain

Ooo I hope you find the perfect horse and hope belle and Essie is doing well

Shae, you DO rescue! Even if you aren't grabbing a horse on the very verge of death every single time, you do your best. Look at Belle! Ezzy could have a completely different life right now if you had not intervened. So don't put yourself down. We all can only do the best we can do.

Thanks for taking us all around this show!! I appreciate it!

My heart hurts with so much love for all those horses. Last month I lost my 20 year old ( had since a weanling) from a strangulated intestinal lipoma. 2 years ago we lost his 30 year old brother. Our barn and pastures are so empty now. Not so sure I can endure any more heartbreak. I very much appreciate what you do and the fortitude you have. ❤❤❤

Your such a strong women Shae, I dont know how you do it. The look in the eyes of some of these horses, such saddness. I have yet to understand how an owner can let these beautiful wonderful animals, get into such terrible conditions. Accidents are one thing, but the hooves on that one, I would have to think, just neglect. That big gelding was a beautiful boy, but as you say, if it was meant to be, it would have happened. Thank you once again for bringing us along and am so looking forward to the next auction. Blessings to you, Kyle and the farm family.

I enjoy listening to your analogy of what happened and what you think about how it turned out...also how you talk about how your ok with the way it turn out meaning that it wasn't meant to be. Thank you for your time Shae I really appreciate you. 🙃♥️

I had a difficult time watching this one…it was a reminder of how frequent improper care of - and abuse of - horses is happening. The pony in the full size horse harness killed me, as did those with sores on their mouths, in the cinch areas…so tragic the lives those horses have lived…don’t get me started on the hooves 😢 Though you are not a rescue, you do rescue those horses you select from an uncertain future. God bless you for all you do 🙏♥♥♥

Shea, you have a great mind for auctions! You are able to accept not getting a horse & realize it wasn't meant to be. It's hard not to get emotional seeing the condition of some of them, but that is reality. Very nice video teaching people about screening health & temperament. Thx for sharing!🩷🌻🌸

Absolutely love your sunglasses! Tough job you have picking out JUST ONE horse!

Thankyou for showing and educating us on the the sales . Very interesting and hard .

Thank you for taking us along 😊. Sorry the paint didn't turn out, but maybe you will find the right one at another auction. Thank you for pointing out the health issues that some of them may have, it's always sad to see. I understand your philosophy, everyone has their own way of doing things, your way is just as important, you save a horse from potential slaughter and give him a new lease on life... thank you 🥰

This auction some of the horses were more difficult to see. Your special horse is stunning! I can imagine how intense the bidding was. It’s good to know you could have the option to still buy this horse 😅 Thank you for explaining again about your Organisation, it was well explained. Auction videos are always great to see!

Your auction and expo videos are my favorite thing to watch in my free time. I get to live vicariously through you without the actual temptation and heartbreak of being in person as I do not have a farm or the money to own a horse. I’m sorry that it didn’t work out with that sweetheart today. I think your attitude about it is something we can all learn from. If it’s meant to be it will happen. The door isn’t completely closed and if something is meant to happen it will. Look at all the auctions you had to go through to find Belle, and it was after that previous mare broke your heart by likely having DSLD.

Thank you so much for such honesty and tips on auctions! ❤

The brown and white paint horse with the over grown hooves and cherry eye broke my heart 💔😭

Very insightful. It's a fine line between making a connection and feeling like you want to save them all but I think your model of business is spot on!

From all the horses you loked at that was the best ❤ so sorry about missed opportunity.... such a gorgeous horse 🐎

Thank you very much, it was exciting to see. I am sorry that your favourite were sold.❤

Great video!! I always love watching these auction videos because you are very informative and it is exciting to watch. Getting to see the variety of horses at auctions is always surprising and I love how you include them. I also thought it was funny how your lipgloss was completely gone after the bidding war, must have been really intense lol😆

Great video!👍👏 Thanks for teaching us some of the things to look for at auctions.

Hi Shae! I’ve been trying to think what so thrilling about watching your auction videos. One part of it is that we get to go window shopping without the danger of impulse buying! When we go shopping in stores, there’s a bit of an endorphin rush, I think, just from admiring all the wonderful choices that appeal to us. You’ve definitely got a great approach and formula for your auction videos, and it seems like you make more fans every time 😉 It’s been neat to watch your channel keep on growing over these past few months. I sure appreciate the entertainment and education.

My goal in the past was to save as many as I could with hopes of rehoming eventually. I did it with my own money and no outside help. I was lucky to have the money. It was a tremendous joy, but also heartbreaking. God bless.

His eyes are gorgeous with that color brown 🤩 so sad you didn't get him

So much fun coming along with you to these auctions. He was beautiful, but not meant to be. Next one will be perfect 🤩.

I can tell by your make-up what mood your in. When you first started talking, bright heavy lipstick, then you cried no lipstick then u recomposed yourself, more relaxed you seemed. I love that your decisions come from your heart, your such an inspiration

I admire your sticking to your plan and model. That has got to be really hard to do at times, but well worth your dedication, especially when your horses "graduate" from your training and go to good homes where they will be loved and treated well.

Yes yes yes more horse auction videos! You makin' my day!

While you do not have to become a full non-profit or change your business model to become a rescue, especially if you don't want to be a full-time rescue/shelter/rehab there is the opportunity to share your expertise and the fact that you already have a facility and you have a base of viewers who may be interested in funding the rescue of one horse at a time. Around here we have many ranches, stables and farms that will run a fund raiser and then based on what they raised will keep an eye out at auctions for a horse that they have the funds to rescue and rehab. Some will take on a long term mission of giving an older horse some last good retirement years while others will rehab and retrain and then either work the horse themselves or find them a good home and what they sell them for can can be the base amount to start a new fundraiser for another rescue project. And all sorts of other situations. One does not have to be a barn to barn dedicated rescue, or going in and buying up every animal at an auction, as one horse at a time can make a difference too.

I love your videos!!! They are always so entertaining and exciting! ❤❤

Oh my that beautiful horse. I just hope you get him one day (if the new owner finds he's not suitable). There was something just so special about him.

I hope the best for you and the beautiful horse. What you do is amazing and unique. You bring out the best in horses and bring them to the best of their potential. I wish you the best of luck on finding your next horse if that’s this horse or not. Your an inspiration to me Shae keep doing what you do.

Shea, keep the auction visits going, the Appy at 10:30 in this video sure was a nice looking horse. Some of those salebarn situations can be very hot on a Aug. muggy day and wear out a horse just being there. Glad you made a video on the day.
