TRAINING MY SURPRISE FOAL!
Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
Hey Horse Lovers! On 6/16/23 Belle gave birth to her MYSTERY FOAL at 1:15AM!!! We were so excited and overjoyed upon the foal's arrival! Belle had a beautiful filly and we decided to name her Esmeralda. Ezzy is bold, intelligent, kind, willing, and independent. We absolutely adore her and Belle! In this video you will get to see the foal training I have doen with Esmeralda thus far. I believe in a calm, gentle, natural approach in regards to training horses (and foals). Watch to see how baby Ezzy does during her session today! I am SO THANKFUL that Belle (and Ezzy) came into my life. IF YOU ENJOY OUR CONTENT SUBSCRIBE.
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 happy. 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 who is just under 16.2hh. IF YOU ENJOY MY CONTENT SUBSCRIBE!

She just so perfect 💛and yes I think yellow or purple are her colours
You can tell how proud Ezzy is, when she works with you. She looks very calm and happy. There are not enough words for Belle beautiful and elegant.
Shae, I genuinely believe that both Belle and Esmerelda were meant to be with you. I love watching this progression between you and the horses. You are truly a remarkable horse woman! Best to you all!! XOXOXO 😘 ♥️ 😘 ♥️ 🐎
She's so amazing! I've never seen a foal that calm and willing. It's like she came born with the way the way friesian foals are born with the floating stride. No running away from the pressure thinking she's trapped, no bucking, not wanting to go do something else. She's right there trying hard to stay close and do what you want as if it's her own idea. She realy deserved that meal after her bout of thinking.
Esmeralda is the sweetest little girl I love her
Belle and little Ezzy look so elegant and cute together! Esmeralda has been a very good girl and Belle is a very sweet momma!
I'm so vicariously proud of Ezzy! XD I love how after a long, hard minute at school, she goes right home to Belle for an afterschool snack.
A relative bought a horse . Brought her home, bonding and getting use to her. Then went out one morning and there was a brand new mule foal! Beautiful foal. ❤❤
So good to see. You are a free spirit but consistent. Belle and Esmeralda are thriving in your care. They know what to expect. I love the way you do the essentials: feet, fly spray, touching the body everywhere, halter breaking etc all without force but with sensible guidelines. That's a balance I believe in. Thank you for sharing this wonderful journey. 😍🥰😘
Esmerelda is adorable, of course! But I have to say, Belle is a gorgeous mover. Her trot is breathtaking♥️.
Belle still looks as beautiful as ever 🌸
Ezzy is so cute clacking at Jiminy 🐴🐎 ... "Iam a little, okay, let's be friends! Plus Big Momma Belle has my back." Tfsharing Shae 💙🌟🐎🐴🌻💙
Belle knows Jiminie is your heart horse so she’ trusts him because you do
Ezzy has her mother’s temperament. Loving, trusting and willing to partner. I suspect in large part, it’s because of your devotion to them. Lovely Belle even with a buzz cut! Such a thing as horse mane extensions?!🤪🤭
I absolutely love watching this! I love how you're helping Ezzy develop the confidence to connect by letting her come to you. It makes me feel good that what you are doing is exactly what I did when the Quarter Horse mare someone gave me had a surprise foal. 😅 Living in the foothills of California at the time & having an early July foal meant he was born at the beginning of fire season. So I knew for safety reasons learning to lead was important. I honestly think the foals really enjoy being included in the whole routine of care & learning. They are a part of the herd too! I still have the very worn out Western Horseman magazine from 1972 that I used as my training guide. Ezzy & Belle are so magnificent. I love watching them.

Wow that’s incredible!
Belle and Esmeralda are both so gorgeous. It's so sweet how Esmeralda has bonded with you Shae. Belle is mommy 1 and you're mommy 2! ❤❤
Every time I see li’l Ezzy, my heart smiles. She is the smartest, sweetest & prettiest filly I have ever seen. I actually feel love for her. Mares are the best. 🎀♥️
Belle and Ezzy are both looking so gorgeous. You truly have an incredible pair here. Ezzy seems to already have her mom's intelligence, curious interest, and calm sweet demeanor. I'm really happy for you and the future journey you will experience with this amazing and special mom and foal.🐎🐎
Belle looks beautiful no matter what. Mane or no mane she is gorgeous!
I have to say, my belief is that there are no coincidences and everything happens for a reason. Belle came to you intentionally because she was in foal… and now Esmerelda will grow up in a loving, safe home and so will Belle. Thank you so much for being a kind person and caring so deeply for your horses❤️

I found Candice and Jordan's channel just before they found Ranger, then Sage and Shadow. I just love Jordan's gentle training and omgosh the pictures Candice has done. . The new babies are beautiful yet I'm longing for another rescue baby cuz we know there will be an orphan or more left abandoned. I'm so proud that they roam the massive lands and mountain ranges searching for foals in need
You make this all look so easy…but as someone who also had a surprise foal out of a mare I purchased (an NO experience with foals) this takes so much patience and timing. The most surprising thing for me was that foals are not born fearful of humans, especially if their mom has a good relationship with the person. I spent a lot of time brushing, touching legs, lifting feet for short periods etc. My colt is 1 next month and is doing so well. We adore him! ❤. Great video! Edited to add that my foal got his foot caught in the fence at 6 weeks old. The relationship we established with him made it possible for us to keep him calm while we cut the fence. He could have easily broken a leg. Some contact is absolutely essential.

I agree with you, that it's not good to not touch or interact with the foal. And I think you're so right about letting her come to you. It seems to be the best way with most domesticated animals. You want them to be socialized & and not fearful of humans!!!! It's so cute to see Essie come up & "cuddle" with you!!!!! Already well socialized!!!!

So nice to see a real professional with heart. I am 65 and have had horses most of my life. Since my health forced me to give up my horses I have missed them so much. But your videos have brought me so much joy. Kudos to you and your partner, from what I see you both are so good at what you do.
At least you let Belle keep her girlie forlock. Poor thing does look like something is missing.😢 Essy is coming along a treat. So relaxed and willing to play training games. Very sensible to play farriers and vetinerys etc well in advance of their visits to save stress all round.
Belle and her foal are looking great. The foal seems to like the training 🐎🥕🥕🍎
You are by far the BEST horse handler. You have so much compassion for these horses, and you can see that in the way that they act with you. The way she trusts you with her foal, and the way the foal just knows you won’t hurt her and she can come to you. It’s just amazing. Congrats on being the best horse center EVER!!!

Also your horses aren't afraid to approach you for you are constantly talking softly and never force them so they are chill and awesome such pleasant vidéos to enjoy Blessings to you all ❤❤❤❤
You are just SO incredible with these guys. Belle trusts you SO much to let you handle her foal; just so natural. I've seen so many first-time-halter experiences that have been horrible, but you are making it so organic and loving for them. This baby is going to be absolutely incredible under your care! Thank you so much for sharing. I love it!
I've seen and had many many foals but Ezzy is truly a standout star! Her coloring and spunky spirit are captivating-I love the way she flags up her tail when she runs. Wonderful attitude. And she has a lovely mother-so glad they ended up at such a great place.
All the horses at the fence watching adorable Ezzy 😍
She is honestly so perfect 💜💛
It just melts my heart to see Esmeralda and Belle....mama and baby foal are such a stunning mare and filly. So glad they are in your loving and intelligent care.🩷🩷.
I think it's so cute how all the horses line the fence to watch Ezzy. I think it's amazing that Belle trust Jimmy also she is your baby also your like a nanny or an aunt to her lol your going to have an amazing horse with Ezzy
❣💯 The looseness of the rope around Ezzy's legs gently guided her to follow you. Moms always say that you get more with honey than you do with vinegar. It is so good to see professional horse trainers who know what they're doing, customized to each horse's stage in life ~~ not a one size fits all model. Great job, yay! Shae!

It's very obvious that Belle and Esmeralda absolutely adore you and love you. So sweet
Belle looks beautiful even with her haircut! And Ezzy already looks three times as big as she was three weeks ago, that is insane! She is going to be just as lovely as her mom.
Bell is such a good momma❤. It looks like Esmerelda has eye shadow around those beautiful eyes ❤.
Little Ezzy OMG so GORGEOUS!!! Belles pretty mane is gonna come back better! She's still a beautiful BELLE!
Oh my!!! Ezzy and Belle are so gorgeous!!! 🐎💖That sweet little face and those eyes just melt your heart!!! ❤ No worries about Belle's mane!!! Like you said it's only hair!!! 🖒 So sweet of you to thank the kids for the things they send!!! 😊 I love watching them run!!! It is absolutely poetry in motion!!! 🐎 Hard to believe it's been three weeks since this angel came into the world and boy has she grown!!!! I just love that little tail!!!😙 Loved watching you work with Ezzy!!! So gentle and she just did everything perfectly!!! 😄 Can't wait to see the next session!!!! Thanks for bringing us along!!!💕
Just the sweetest filly! I am impressed by her calm demeanor.. for a 3 week old foal …❤ I lad to laugh at her rushing through the gate when she followed you leading Belle through..😊❤
Belle looks so happy and content being a mother happiness just radiates from her & her baby girl 💜
Ezzy is so beautiful and has such a great and safe life with you. I envy you and love watching her grow up. Belle is also a beautiful mare and so attentive to her little one. 😊❤
You’re an amazing lady to be a guardian to these amazing living creatures.
Enjoyed watching Ezzy so much. She seems to be growing so fast Belle is beautiful and is so kind. I love her and Ezzy.
She is the most beautiful and adorable baby l have ever seen. She is getting lovelier day by day. She came to this world by a lovely mama. Wish you all the best. Love from Cyprus❤
Great job with Esmeralda. She is doing fantastic. Belle is so comfortable with you handling Essie... that's a good thing. Belle is a good Mama 😍
I just LOVE to see how these beautiful horses blossom under y'alls care. I've been around many so-called trainers over the period of time that I had horses and I have to say they don't hold a candle to you. Thank you for putting your techniques out there for all to see!
Essy is so sweet but Belle is a simply stunning mare ! She moves beautifully and is divine 😍❤️

What did I win
Wow,,, Esmerelda truely is an impressive, beautiful and intelligent little girl. She inherited her mama's sweet nature and laid back demeanor, but I'm sure Shae much of Ezzy's willingness and trust has a lot to do with the safe and loving energy you exude in abundance too. ❤ Also, Belle still looks absolutely gorgeous with her mane roached, but if you find the mohawk stage is too square or hard looking in a few months, then you can use thinning shears to soften the last inch or so. Using thinning shears helps make a harsh square edge (the ends) look softer, be more manageable as her mane grows, and it does this without affecting the appearance of the overall length. ❤
5:17 so cool to see all the other horses watching you with Essie 😅
Essie will make the most awesome liberty horse when she older. Bell has shown her trust and respect, a rare ballance that is essential for Liberty Xxxx
She's absolutely gorgeous, gonna be a big horse, can't wait to see what her breeding is.
A roached mane looks rather elegant. Belle is shaking her head some; maybe shes wondering, "What happened to my mane?" Ha ha. Ezzies mane looks like a mohawk, and it's so cute. She has filled out beautifully.
That foal is gorgeous
Ezzy seems so incredibly connected to you already. It will be so fun watching her as she grows into her full personality.
Ezzy is absolutely gorgeous and so well behaved. Bella is gorgeous too. 😊
They are both so precious ❤
🥰 Belle and Ezzy are so precious and lovely. Your training with is very good. Bravo Shea 🤗
Wow ... Esmerelda is doing fabulous, and Belle is a wonderful mom! ❤
Esmerelda is doing great! So calm and curious. What a good trooper!!!
Esmeralda is so cute
❤Belle is a wonderful Mom . ❤️
Her fluffy ears are so cute!
Omg, Ezzy just knows when she has the halter on, your doing stuff that is enjoyable, and its your time with her! And she loves it! And then as soon when the halter comes off, shes like; okay, im gonna eat at mom! Ezzy is so smart and so precious omg
Esmeralda is so cute and sturdy. I love watching her and Belle and her and you. She loves you! That she loves fly spray is adorable. She’s so smart.
I get a big smile whenever you share your videos of Belle and Esmeralda they just make you happy watching them run together in the pasture. I can’t get over how big she’s getting.
Belle still Looks beautiful even ever
Ezzy will be the best trained horse!!!
They are so easy going. Such a pleasure to watch.
Lovely! Beautiful girls. All three of you!
Both are SO Very Precious!!💖💖
Don’t feel bad! She looks beautiful! And you’re right it will be beautiful again when it grows back! Who knows maybe she will be cooler too for the summer… 🤗😉♥️
Belle is such a good mother.
Three weeks old already? Wow that little filly is just awesome the way she trusts you and is so willing to learn. Great job Free Spirit
Haltertraining is important. She's realy perfect. It's good to have a bond with her, she will love people.😊
So cute love Ezzy
She IS so willing and behaved and just a blast to learn this from you Shae!!! Look at that baby tail GO lolol. I'm so in love❤❤❤❤❤❤
The bond between all 3 of you is incredible considering you only got Belle a few short months ago and little Ezzy is 3 weeks old. She is a sweetheart, inquisitive, trusting, smart and full of joy ❤ Your kind approach and love shows by how much the horses/ ponies trust you and Belle is at ease with you doing this essential training with her baby. Belle looks gorgeous either way and you did what you had to do to protect her mane. I love these 2 girlies and such a lovely pair.

My Ez, my daughter, was a stunning chestnut...lol..with big brown eyes before pain and lack of pain relief robbed her of her beauty.But your little Ezzy lifts my spirits, thank you.

There's a way to measure a foal's cannon bone (I think), and the length in inches approximates the adult height in hands.
@DarrinsDaffs
Жыл бұрын
@@lesliemoiseauthor Yes. Foals are born with the cannon bone, between the hock (knee) and the fetlock (ankle) at almost adult length. That is why you see foals spread their forelegs wide apart to graze. "The cannon bone is the most mature bone in terms of length at birth in the horse. At six months of age, the horse is 93 percent of its mature length from the knee to the ground, and this distance represents approximately 25 percent of the horse's mature size."

The moment Jiminy and Ezzy met is the moment Jiminy said to Ezzy “You are Shae’s next ❤ horse”.
Such a Beautiful baby and Momma
No worries about Belle's mane, it will grow back thicker and stronger. Belle and Ezzy both look beautiful 🐴. I believe the way you are doing it, is just perfect. You know what's right for you and them. A little training this young is imperative. She must learn all these things for safety reasons. And it's much easier when they're this young (small). Excellent idea, I agree with you 💯 percent Shae. Love watching them.... So exciting 😃 all the "new" things your going to be doing. Ezzy did amazing!! Love and Blessings to you always ❤️🙌 Jennifer
