PREPARING MY MARE’S FOALING AREA!!!
Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
Hey Horse Lovers! In this video you will be seeing ALL of the prep work we are doing to prepare Belle's Foaling paddock. We will be dragging, leveling, cleaning, setting up the cameras, and more. We want everything to be clean and safe for Miss Belle of the Ball and her soon to come foal. Watch our process and see how we prepare the foaling suite for this QUEEN OF A MARE!
For more back story information in February, I purchased Belle from an auction and well... we discovered she was pregnant about 4 weeks later following a wellness exam and quarantine! We were completely shocked but also very excited. This will be our first foal ever born at Free Spirit Farm. Here is a little background information: Belle is a 7-year-old Dapple Grey, Draft X who is just under 16.2hh. In this video you will get to see more of Belle's daily life at the farm and see how she's developing in her last trimester. We will do some grooming, feeding, and bonding. I will also tell you more about my thoughts on the foal! IF YOU ENJOY MY CONTENT SUBSCRIBE!

I have a feeling the foal will be a muddy princess!
Shae, ... you are adorable! No horse in the wild has a leveled, raked area to foal in. You're profound love for horses shines through like the sun. Belle and her upcoming foal have the "best" horse mama that they could possibly have. Your foaling paddock is gorgeous! And I agree with you, ..... given a choice, ..... a horse most likely would choose an outdoor spot to foal in. Fresh air, sunshine and space for mom and baby = Healthy! I am so happy for you! Thank you Kyle for all your hard work and supporting Shae in her endeavors. May this event be a joyous one for you both! - ACD

You're right, that's the perfect place for Belle and her foal. Her energy tells me she is an experienced mom and it looks like she is trying to comfort you like: Human, take a breath and relax, I know what I'm doing. lol. But if I walked in your shoes I would even sleep in the stable next to her these last weeks lol just to be sure to be there when she's going in laber. 😂 Checking every hour like a watchdog😂

Shae your always so beautiful even with a dirty face. The FABULOUS Horse husband Kyle looked so happy on the Tracker today. And the work got done. Shae it was the absolute right decision to put here in the paddock to have this foal . Your are right she is so big and needs the space. Plus she probably delivered outside before any way and this paddock gives her and the foal some space from the other horses for a little while. The bonus: its summer so no worries about the foal and the weather. Your guys are doing a great job.😊😊😊

Ahhh!! I’m so excited! Belle is such a good mama, she will probably have such a beautiful baby just like her!❤
Can’t be too long to wait now, this little colt or filly has no idea how many people are excitedly waiting to greet him/her ❤
I'm so HAAAAAAPPPPPY! I feel like you just got her honestly and look at Pretty mama now!!! LOVE TO ALL OF YOU FOR YOUR KINDNESS AND REMINDING ME HOW big and wonderful life can truly be! Thank you so much for sharing it with everyone!
❤ praying 🙏 for a easy delivery and a healthy baby!!!
Belle is a lucky mama, to have you and Kyle looking after her. The birthing paddock looks perfect.
😇🤲🏻 sending good thoughts your way for Belle"s delivery.
You are just a little spitfire Shae- we can all tell Belle and her baby couldn’t have gotten a better owner. You go girl! That beautiful baby deserves a party fitting her magnificence. ❤😊❤
Can't wait to see that beautiful foal that she going to give birth to!!! I am so excited for you!❤
This is like waiting for Christmas!🎄
Thank you to all the Horse Lovers who are able to help Shae n family with goods!
OMG SO CLOSE NOW AM SO EXCITED IAM SO HAPPY I LOVE BELLE YOU ARE THE BEST MOMMA FOR BELLE . THANK YOU FOR THIS JOURNEY WE ARE ON TOGETHER.
I am totally a fan of your set up! Even over a big foaling stall…still too easy for the mare to step on the foal. Belle is so BLESSED to have come into your life! ♥♥♥♥
You got everything done perfectly Shea! You got this girl I know you do! Such a blessing girl
Are there any more ways you two can express your love for your beautiful Belle? es I believe so and I am enjoying every effort you make. Belle's life since meeting you is worthy of a movie! From rags to riches! And she is so lovely I'm sure she can star as herself in the movie. Who will play the members of her Royal Court, four footed and 2 footed? We will have to wait and see. Take a breath sweet heart----you are doing everything possible to keep Belle and baby safest. And believe me, dirty face or not, we all see how serious you and Kyle are. And I think "horse hubbies" are to be CELEBRATED! Mine is priceless. Best of luck.
I know how excited you must be! Makes me wish I were there!! Sometimes you cause me to feel like I'm right next door. You feel REAL to me. Impressed with all your effort and accomplishments!! Keep it up!!!
❣💯 Yay! Shae: Felt like I was in a video game riding along on your 4-wheeler to drag the foaling paddock for beautiful Belle, after Kyle leveled it with the tractor. Thank you for answering my questions about maintenance of the paddock for her. Pray for rain, lol!

@@freespiritequestrian You're rockin' right up until the magic moment. My 10-year-old was in that video game yesterday making me dizzy, if not already that way. Really excited for y'all. Meant to add that the tree shadings in the foaling paddock are a great location Belle and Baby Belle might use. Good luck, Grandma Shae!
It's time for the countdown!! Lot's of hard work soon to pay off. So excited for you all and the Belle and baby!
I am beyond excited for her to become a mom which is going to be pretty soon. I sure can't wait until the foal comes! I just can't take it I'm so so excited. I sure cant wait for the video to come. 🥰

People with blue eyes are more light sensitive. So I get it. Okay Belle bring on the cuteness overload.

Like I can’t with the weather haha
I've seen mares that aren't at all impressed by large, comfortable, safe foaling stalls deeply bedded for their comfort and will hang on to the kid for as long as possible, looking miserable, when confined to said stalls . But turn them loose in a pasture for a few minutes to graze while their stall is being cleaned? BINGO! Down they go and they foal. They'd much rather quietly foal by themselves and would happily foal in the far corner of a 40 acre field, at 2 AM, in a brushy area during a thunderstorm with lashing rain beating down on them, then bring the new foal to the barn the next morning, up on all fours, clean and having nursed. It's just how they are. What we like and what they like can be two different things.
Omg yayyy I can’t wait to see bells foal I hope it all goes well!!!🤞🤞❤️❤️😊😊🫶
I totally agree that outside is best, wild horses do it all the time. That said I think it’s safe to say that the little hostage has us all waiting in suspense!

So incredibly excited for You, Kyle and, of course, Belle Beauty. ox
We're waiting on that baby! I would fill up the shed with bedding in case she wants that. I think you said you are going to do that. I love that mare, her elegant motion, and her black stockings. I see her in a saddleseat class with her big trot and her beautiful head bright in the bridle. This is exciting! Thanks for sharing her journey. I'm so glad you have her! ❤
Y'all did an awesome job setting her area up. Belle made her food look sooo yummy. 😊 This is going to be awesome. I can't wait for her to foal. She's going to be an awesome Momma. ❤
I have been waiting and checking on your channel for the big day... I can't even begin to think how excited you are!
Shea your such a good horse owner, i inspire to be you! Love your videos thanks for sharing!!
I hope everything goes smoothly I cant wait for belle's baby! 🤞❤
It is so awesome that you're doing everything to make it easier for Belle to have her foal. 😂😂I can see you watching those cameras 24/7. And the moment it happens, running out with hot water and towels, like a human baby being born. At least it is what I did 😂😂 when my mare foaled. It was in the middle of the night, and I just happened to wake up and peeked out my front door. We made the front yard her foaling area because it was big and it had grass. She was separated from the other horses, but she could still see them over the fence. You made the right decision, mares in a stall, sometimes lay down and don't leave enough room for the foal to be born. So, giving her room is the best choice. I can't wait. Until we get to see the video, Belleville had her foal. I just wanted to let you know that I am amazed that you always look so beautiful and classy, and I watched a video where your hair was down and wow, you have beautiful hair.
Absolutely perfect foaling area Shae 😃 And yes, all you can do is your best.....which is exactly the way you do everything, you always give everything your best 💜. I think ALL your ideas are wonderful and they're all going to workout perfectly for Belle and her new baby. And might I add, I know how hard you and Kyle have been working to make everything perfect, and I greatly applaud you for that, but this is the longest time I've seen you without makeup 💄 and I have to say....Shae, you are blessed, cause with or without makeup, you are simply stunning, literally gorgeous all the time. Just had to tell you 😃. Anyway, yeah, everything looks 👍!! Such an exciting time, I'm so happy for you. Love and Blessings always ❤️🙌 Jennifer
I love that you and Kyle can do the fretting and nesting bit so Belle can continue the eating and relaxing, getting ready for baby. A good combo. She seems very happy and chilled gobbling up all the extra dinners.😋🌟
Yes. I'm so excited for the baby to come soon. Hope all goes well. Blessings to Belle and new baby. ✨️
I love the area that you’ve chosen. Having all that room will be more comfortable for both her and baby. She will be able to stretch her legs and have plenty of room to show her baby how to be a horse. The babies muscles can develop well from exercise, they won’t pester mom too much from being bored cooped up and he/she can have mental stimulation. I LOVE this 🥰
Very very nice you're a excellent planer

I love that you are going to let her foal outside. It is so much more natural and peaceful for her. It would be lovely if there was a bit of more grass in there. Hope you get a bit of rain soon. When the foal is a bit older you could put in some small logs, etc. to get them more aware and agile in their surrounds.
I've been following your videos,love them. I have used Mare Watchers for years and it's the best system. I can't wait to help watch Belle. Good luck happy foaling!!
Hello from Australia 🇦🇺 I can’t wait for Belle to have her baby. I’ve been checking everyday even when I was away on holidays. You and Kyle should be very proud of your commitment and ethics towards all your horses well-being. You have certainly done all the prep and hard work so let’s hope all goes well as I’m sure it will.
Yay! Happy dance!! So much fun dragging with you 🎉 so appreciative of you sharing all this with us, I call you a little pocket rocket when I chat to my hubby about your videos 😊🤭 I get so excited when I see you have put up another video, well done to you and Kyle for all your hard work around the farm, such a beautiful place ❤ Belle will feel so relaxed and secure to have her baby there ❤
