Seeing the other horses' excitement to meet her was so sweet! And it seems like Belle recognizes a friend. Great progress!

Ariel was not shy with the other horses. She stood her ground. You could see her confidence grow especially after the welcoming committee was so friendly!! BLESSINGS

Ariel didn't know whether to be more excited about the sunshine and space to run or the realization that she could see a herd that she could belong to again. Her joy was so evident! Her flagged trot just makes my heart smile. ❤️

Bagheera is so patient, a great horse nanny. Ariel is so happy to have freedom and to finally meet the other horses. Jiminy is hilarious, Mushu is such a sweet boy. Ezzie is so excited to have a buddy her age. Good you filmed how being alert is so important and how unpredictable horses can be. You and Kyle are a great team. Glad everything went so well.

Aeriel looks amazing, she has filled out. She looks so different compared to when you first saw her at the horse auction, all timid and nervous. She know she's home. ❤❤❤❤😊

Thanks Shae. The moment we have all been waiting for, seeing Ariel out in the sunshine, running around. And sweet Auntie Bagheera is a lovely calming influence xx

Jiminy getting so excited over Ariel was so cute

I love that little nicker of welcome when you approached her stall!

Sometimes things don't go as planned, but they almost always work out! It was magical watching you lead Ariel out of her stall and into the paddock! You guys handled the unexpected bits very well! It's amazing watching her run around and how all the other horses come to meet her. Absolutely heart melting!!

Ariel looks so much happier outside💚

If only we could really think & feel what they do…it must be so wonderful for this little girl who’s had so many life changes in such a short span of time, starting with leaving her mama & all that’s transpired since. And, now…this glorious big area with all the “amenities” & humans who will love & watch over her needs. I still think of that other filly (#26 with the dorsal stripe that was so sweet) who you didn’t pick.😢. Hope she wound up with a wonderful home, too ❤🎉

Those little leaps of joy were fun to watch. Bagheera on babysitting duty is too good; she's so calm and assured, she gives young horses the right vibes.

So much fun! Thanks! And I'm always surprised to see how excited geldings get over baby horses.

She truly has one of the kindest eyes and face I have ever seen! That nicker she gave when you got there was adorable!

You can't plan for every eventuality, but keeping alert as you did, Shae, is a must around equines. Ariel doing zoomies was magical and getting out her energy after the quarantine. Jiminey is a big old daftie and has to know everything as the herd leader, but Mushy showed what a sweet boy he is and was very calm with Ariel. Bagheera is the best Aunty to these foals. Belle and Ezzy looked very curious and Ezzy was in awe there is another one around her size. Cannot wait for them to be put in together and hope it goes well. ❤

The way she looked at Ezzy and Belle when she came out. Soon to be best friends❤

Finally. It made me tear up to see Ariel able to run and hop about. That's how hard it was for her to be stalled in quarantine. Your senior horses proved how valuable they are. Jiminy and Bagheera are practically employees.

I love that she got out to see her new life with friends ❤❤❤❤

Oh the joy of seeing Ariel run & explore❣️Jiminy coming to make friends & touch through the fence was so sweet & brought tears to my eyes. Shae, you’ve done an extraordinary job of gently taking care of this beautiful little girl after her rough beginning in life. Now she’s really home. 💖

She has a very good trot!! So glad she was able to get out of the stall, I think we were all waiting for this day.

Allways makes me happy to see a foal outside for a first time 😊☺️

It gives me so much joy to see Ariel running and kicking up her heels in the paddock! How marvelous! She's made such huge progress in two weeks, thanks to the loving, gentle work you've done with her. I imagine she will fit in beautifully with Belle and Ezzy. Looking forward to the next episode!

Ariel loved being in the paddock. She really seems happy. She liked being near the other horses, and they were kind. Jiminy was really excited to see a new foal, and it was funny seeing Mushu trying to see her, too! I saw Belle and Ezzy looking at Ariel, too. I am sure Ezzy and Belle will like Ariel, too. I think Ariel knows that she is home. Bagherra is a wonderful Auntie. Thank you, Shea for sharing your life with the horses with us. Ariel did so well, thanks to your spending all that time with her.

Also, Bagheera is just awesome. Such a good, loving soul. An amazing "Auntie" to the foals!

Well done, Shae for not being spooked when Ariel was. We forget horses are prey animals, or a panic attack on four legs and can be so easily scared but she recovered so well, too. Seeing that tail held high as she ran with joy was a delight. Looking forward to this journey with all the horses.Blessings from Australia.

Oh my goodness she is so adorable running outside. I’m blown up.

Tears of joy 🦄 Beautiful spirited Ariel , so happy to meet her new family. Jiminey is smitten by her . The music so lovely and heartfelt along with her freedom run. Looking forward to Belle and Ezzy. running together. 🌞🐴🐎🐴

So beautiful interacting with the others. Cant wait to see her with Belle and Easy.

Jiminy claimed Ariel for himself..❤️ It's so cute the individual personalities of each horse towards her. She's fitting right in. 🌟Now, let the new adventures begin! 🌟 Can't wait to see what happens next..💕 ❤️🙋🏼‍♀️🐈🐕

Ariel is gorgeous and her TROT... so beautiful. I can't believe I have the opportunity to watch her and Ezzy grow. Thank you, Shae.

Oh my gosh, seeing her be so free and frisky, the other horses seem to be so friendly towards Ariel. You guys have done an amazing job making her so welcome and a member of the herd.

It's great to see her meet the herd. I'm glad you didn't get kicked- it looked a little close.

NEW SMELLS. Instinct. Memories from the sale barn. She’s intelligent. Thank God YOU bought her! ----. You two are gonna have so much fun!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

Such a joy to see horses being horses. Jiminey of course wanting to be grandpapi of the whole herd 😂 It seems that Mushu really wants to play with the foals too. Even with the bumps along the way, Ariel will really love it here. Thank you for taking us on this journey with you!

Ariel is such a beauty! To see her run free, gallop and jump was exciting and heartwarming. The way she followed you out of her stall and into the inside arena was wonderful. Watching her go up to greet the other horses and how they reacted to her was truly special. Jimminy’s excitement was so infectious and made me giggle. Thank you, Shae for sharing this incredible moment with all of us! I’m so happy for you. All of your hard work with Ariel has truly been worth the wait! Great job again as always,Shae! Much love to all and I can’t wait for your next video! 👏👏❤️👍😊

She is sooooo happy now

That little tail flag!! ❤❤❤ She looks so joyful out there! Looking forward to seeing what the future holds for her and Ezzy!

It's great to see Ariel's confidence. You can tell she is very happy. ❤

I love that Ariel nickeled to you when you had just walked up to her stall. Two weeks. Marvelous, and all that followed.

Ariel was like, "hey are you coming dad?" What a good girl to lead out. She's so pretty and that trot and those skidding stops, you might have a reining horse there! JImney is like, "HI there, I'll be your prince!"

So happy your little girl is out 🤎

Looking at the last portion of this.. We can really see how much Ariel has grown in the last couple of weeks.. What a beautiful beautiful girl❤❤❤

Congratulations to all with a perfect intro to outdoors and the herd! Such a perfect step out into all the farm has to offer. Jiminy surprised me but in the best way possible and it was nice he let Mushu come up to see Ariel. Those other guys will just have to wait a while. Auntie Bagheera was the essence of decorum, but let the girl run and slide---just not too close to Auntie! It was a surprise to me how Ezzie and Ariel just lazered in visually as soon as Ariel came out. Like they SAW SOMEONE MY SIZE! Sweet!

I love how Ariel just kicked up her heels and danced all around. It made my heart ❤️ sing when she was nuzzling and chirping with Jiminie. It looks like she doesn't really care less if Baggerah is there or not 😮. I am hanging out to see how she gets on with Ezzie ❤❤❤

Your videos are such a tonic. There is so much negativity and war in our world. I feel there is hope for humanity with kind people like you to counterbalance with loving kindness. Thank you.

What an absolute star! Looks like Jiminy is besotted. I kept thinking why are there so many leaves falling until I remembered you are in a different hemisphere. Duh! Lovely facility you have there.

Loved seeing her running around!! Thanks for documenting this journey.

She runs like a show horse, that tail. Lovely filly.

This was wonderful to see! She is smart and beautiful. I am so proud of Ariel and thankful you and Kyle were able to buy her and give her the chance to be her best. What a life! It's been the perfect remedy to counteract the present world stresses! Thank you so much!!

Ariel just strutting her stuff, and has a spring in her step, totally gorgeous x

Jiminy’s absolute freak out had me dying. I can’t wait until both she and Ezzy are in with the entire herd for the first time.

Can't wait to watch! I helped my trainer train some ponies for lessons because I was the only kid small enough but still experienced to ride them. I got my first pony from an auction not trained/broke and it turned out that she is pregnant just like Belle was! When it's born I am going to be doing what you have done so far with Ezzy because you seem to be doing great and I've never helped with a foal before!

Awwe foal zoomies and her tiny whinny just made me love her even more! What a beautiful baby Ariel is. I'm so glad that during her quarantine you were able to gentle her somewhat. And I believe you are correct...her personality in the beginning could have meant that she wouldn't fare well with a different owner. Good job lass! 💕🐴💕

Look how happy she is.......ma'am, u have a special crown in heaven waiting for u! Well done.

Arial is growing so well! I was so happy when she let you look at her teeth and just, sit there so nicely as you brushed her❤

Ariel is getting her legs back, she deserves all the best, You dealt with all the challenges here in the very best manner and you trained her so quickly I am in awe. Mass respect and Love.

Ask Kyle to slam the gate a few more times while Ariel is outside and she’ll become “desensitized” The more she’s outside, she’ll get used to people, places and things and she won’t get so easily “spooked”

Horses just being horses. That’s why we love them! 😊

Caring for a horse is so special. When I was around 8 years old my family rescued a pony from a hoarding situation. We had to borrow a friend's trailer and drive through a hail storm to get him. He was a quarter horse around a year old and had never been given any real kindness. We named him Stormy. We had no idea how to care for him. We just wanted him to be happy and well cared for. We were able to board him at a local riding school and learned how to care for him. My great grandfather had lived on the farm that had been in our family since the civil war. He had always had horses but had no animal companions in a very long time. He was in his late 80's and was alone. Our family decided to see how he would like to have a pony to care for. It was a huge success. Not only did he love the companionship but he told us that Stormy was his reason to get out of bed each day to walk to the barn and care for him. He referred to him as a "Strawberry Roan". (I don't know if that's even a thing!) Stormy was never broke to ride but that was OK. That pony followed him everywhere! My great granddaddy lived to be 98 years old and told us how grateful he had been to have such a beautiful friend for all of those years. Before he passed he asked us to donate Stormy to a local petting farm to live out his life surrounded by other animal friends. We did. Occasionally we were able to visit him and were always so thankful for the love he had given to an old farmer. Stormy was never ridden. That wasn't his life's purpose. It was just to give unconditional love. Thank you so much for sharing your stories. They always bring back special childhood memories. ❤

Ariel has a beautiiful, soft eye.

She seemed like she might have been looking for her Dam, or her former horse friends. I felt some sadness. Maybe she was weaned rather quickly, then taken to the sale. I am sure she will improve with all her new friends. ❤❤

I had tears in my eyes when she made her first step out of the stall! ❤️ I love that all the horses are so intrigued with her and it’s so awesome to see her run and buck!❤️❤️❤️

I really enjoyed seeing Ariel run, trot and kick up in the air. Shes soooo cute whe she trots!! And, i think she's getting prettier every day (if that's possible). Today was her best day ever in her life! And now she has so much room to play, and has other horses to interact with. Im happy it went well!❤😂🎉

7:40 Kyle, that soooo would have been me!! Even knowing about horses, I am a creature of habit, and when I've been told the importance of closing gates for the safety of everyone, then I just do it without thinking. I also heard myself when you said, "Sorry??!!" Ha ha ha!! I suddenly recalled all of my "Sorry??!!" moments when I have learned new things through life. 14:05 "But Mommmmmm!!! Why can't I be with her, too??"Jiminy totally looked like he was saying that!! I'm so happy that I found your KZread and I've shared your videos, or have recommended your channel to a few new horse owners because you show the good, the bad and the ugly. You're so transparent and honest, which is what we need a lot more of, especially when it comes to something so beautiful, but also could hurt you, others or their self by something so miniscule as to closing a gate. Horses are a lot of work, and you show that it's just as much mentally exhausting as it is physically, but the reward is HUMONGOUS!!! You definitely have to LOVE what you're doing, and it is clear to me that you DO!!! Have a beautiful weekend with Kyle, ALL of your "kiddos" 🐶🐴🐷, family, friends and students!!!
