I laughed when I read your comment, she definitely is a helicopter mother. Too funny.

This really shows how big Miss Ezzy really is. Ariel is older by a bit, and, of course, hasn’t been as “privileged “ as Ezzy… I’m glad to hear you’re waiting a few more months before weaning her. This was a remarkable introduction. Congratulations, Shae! You have a beautiful herd. Ariel will come around. She’s doing so well. This may have sparked a moment of independence but she’s shown herself to be smart and willing. Well done!

@@deloresrogers685It definitely isn’t long to wean lmao horses would normally wean their young around 9-10 months in the wild

I love how much attention Ezzie wants from you. It's very clear that the difference between her and Ariel, is how safe and loved she's felt from the moment she was born.

You’re doing such a great job! Sometimes I just feel so sad for Ariel, because she was weaned so young and shipped off right away. Please give her extra kisses and love.

Belle is such a sensible mare. She protected her baby, then got to know the newcomer was safe and accepted her.. It is always lovely to watch Esmerelda moving so closely with Belle, but it will be thrilling to see you ride Belle at last. Congratulations on your successful herd integration.

This is how I felt when I bonded my 3 male Guinea pigs together ☺️🥰😝

Just awesome! So happy for Ariel.. and of course Mama Belle and Esmerelda! And how special is Bagheera! It couldn’t have gone better truly.. ❤

Thank you for subtly normalizing being child free! I have always had a desire to nurture and care for animals. Never had that baby fever.

How awesome is this! While Ezzy is so comfortable with you, Ariel will see this and also how all the horses are with you.

Agreed, just think how much Ariel’s whole world has changed in the past few weeks. Taken from her mare in Manitoba, transported to the auction, then to Free Spirit Farm, quarantined inside the stall, the moved to the outside world with Bagheera, and finally meeting Belle and Ezzy. It must be overwhelming, but she seems to be doing fine. 🐴

The two babies see much better with them just alone so they can get to know each other. I think that was a very good decision.

I’m 😂watching Belle. She’s such a fierce Mama, running off anyone who dares to try and get near her precious little girl…. And then @12:31 she’s like “get out of my way kid” 😂.

Esmeralda is a beautiful horse baby. There is something sweet about her. I love watching the horses!!!!

I knew you made the right choice with Ariel, you are the person she needed. This makes my heart so happy!

Ezzy seems happy to have someone her own size to play with and I'm sure Ariel's training and socialization will improve now that she's got a friend to watch.

I miss that sound of horses munching their hay. When Ezzy came up to you while chillin with Ariel ❤ Id actually forgotten that memory til watching that. Warms the cockles of my ❤ watching them bond.

The horses are lovely you take care of yourself too and you haven't forgotten you're beautiful too! Thank you for looking as beautiful as your horses

I hope you take this as a compliment, because that is how it’s intended but if I woke up in the morning looking as beautiful as you do with no make up, I’d be a happy girl. Congratulations on your new herd!

I know herd dynamics can sometimes be tough, and I felt sad for Ariel when she was off alone. But when they got close to each other and Belle accepted Ariel it made me so happy. They are so adorable together, and I love how Ezzy wants all the attention. I haven't been around horses in a long time and watching your videos really makes me happy. Thank you for all you do, and for sharing it with us!

Belle is looking amazing!

Ezzy and Ariel are the cutest friends!

We have to give Kyle some credit . What a nice guy and handsome also.

Ariel has the kindest, softest eye!

So excited!!! With you, I’m sure they’ll be raised well! Can’t wait to see them play together!

I am just so loving all of this, just all of it. Ariel coming out of the paddock and then going into the other one, Aunty Bagheera just helping out by being there. Belle wary but then finally accepting Ariel, sharing the hay barn. OMG Ezzy in the hay barn, so obviously feeling entitled to do that! 😆 Love watching the two girls start to accept each other. Looks like they're going to be playing very soon. Loved the little kisses they gave each other, too. Huge sigh of relaxation. Thank you so much for sharing all of this with us, Shae and Kyle! ❤️

This is so exciting that Belle has accepted Ariel. And it melted my heart to see Ezzie go over to Ariel and befriend her getting up close, nuzzling her. Oh, this is so sweet!

WONDERFUL!... ❤THANK YOU❤

I really have been surprised at how quickly Bella let’s horses near Essie. I know other horse channels I watch, it will be months and the momma’s still won’t let other big horses near their babies. Even when they live in the same housing. Lol.

That is so wonderful - Ezzy and Ariel together. They are both so gorgeous. Oh, my gosh, the 2 babies close together and playing just melts my heart.

Yep, Bell (the Bulldozer) 😂 acted just as I expected her to but so promising for an overnight acceptance. Ezzy & Ariel are so gorgeous together! And loving the leaner looking Bell. Good Job Free Spirit Equestrian! ❤️

Shae you said to Belle, “ You’re not being very welcoming “ I thought that was so funny. So happy it all worked out. The Babe’s are adorable. ❤

So glad the meet & greet went well. Felt so sorry for Ariel. But it worked ! They look amazing together, they are going to get up to allsorts of mischief!!

So sweet seeing Ezzy gently nuzzle Ariel and vice versa. Once they start doing zoomies together, it will be when Ariel really feels accepted and happy. Ezzy sure loves you and loves to be with you. It's wonderful to see. Hoping Ariel will be curious and accept more food's when she see's the other's chow done on the goodies. As always, thanks as for sharing and letting us see the new things and events as they occur.

I can only guess how amazing it feels to to be there, to raise a foal from the very very beginning 😍

Yay!!! Ariel’s family is complete now and she and her sister love each other. Such a good feeling! They are all in good hands with you, Shae! What a relief it must be, finally, to see Ariel and Ezzie bonding. They are so cute! ❤❤❤❤❤

Belle is such a bossmare lol. She was tight with top-horse Jiminey back before she was seperated from the main herd too. While none of us saw it so we can't be sure, I like to imagine the fillies snuck off to hang out in the middle of the night while mom was asleep haha. Secret princess sleepover ❤

Ariel likes to spread her hay. And it is interesting how Belle uses her size for changing the closeness. On the other hand, how willing Belle is on sharing “foal” duties. Belle accepted Bagheera easily. A wise, mature mate. Belle is young mare and a happy mother. Such a great female group and happy a environment. It is nice to have more mares at Free Spirit Equestrian Farm.

Watching all the mares settle in together was absolutely amazing! Ezzy and Ariel look so great together and will find such comfort in each other!! So happy for you and Kyle with your beautiful horse family!!

This was just incredibly heart-warming to watch! So funny when you were first walking to Belle and told her to be nice to the new baby, and she looked right over at Ariel! And near the end when you were feeding grass to the baby girls and they had a Lady & the Tramp moment! So much fun to watch them interact and start to nuzzle each other...besties for sure! So happy for you, Shae💜🇨🇦

Ezzy has the neck of a Warhorse. She will be powerful.. Ariel has such a kind eye.

They are all just beautiful.

Belle is beyond beautiful can't wait for the babies growing ❤

At first my heart was like aww poor baby, I understand that’s the way of horses. But now to see them all together is so awesome. This is such a big step for Ariel in such a short time. Thank You for sharing this special moment.

Shae, you have done such an excellent job with Belle, Ezzie,and Ariel to make their first meeting go so well! Bagheera was such a good Auntie with both babies and she is so calm with them! I know that Belle trusts Bagheera and when Belle saw how calm Bagheera was with Ariel , I think that she realized that she had nothing to worry about with Ariel being around Ezzie and made their introduction that much easier. Shae, your knowledge and understanding of horses really shows through and you have such good instincts about each horse and how they will react to one another. You are amazing! Congratulations on Ariel’s smooth introduction into the herd. You have done such an excellent job and should be so proud! Having Kyle there to watch their first meeting was so special. Much love to all❤😊
