Love your videos ❤
❤
Like riding a sofa..😂❤
I had a moment where I was like "who is that bay horse in the background?" And then realized it's Ariel 😂 She's so big!
Me to. She looks so big.
😂😂😂😂
Haha yeah I knew it was her but I was like wow she's so big & looks even bigger next to Mushu! 😂
I was watching and thinking the same thing! I thought she got a new horse....Lol had to take a double take.
I recognized her right away but she sure is growing.
I am voting for a MUSHU 'plushy toy'.
He is so popular and super CUTE ❤
There u go! He’s adorable!
Yes, yes Vanessa Schoettle, and with his moustache, that will be the first to be cuddled off methinks ... !
I would love a mushu plush toy I would buy one and snuggle with it 🤗❤️
@@francineherron1940 that mustache: who else has a snuggle horse with a muuuustache?❤
He's got the cutest little trot!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
A fortunate young woman to have such an excellent teacher!! She and Mushu learning together👍👍😍🐎
Yes, I hope she is mature enough to soak it all in. Shae is one of the few trainers who really encourage everyone to give the horse a chance to get to know the person before they hope on their backs. Its not a motorcycle people. This is a living breathing animal with feelings yes feelings... Not many have Shae's patients . Those are the ones who really need to take notes..
Piper and Mushu did really well together. Good job Mushu! People don’t realize how special lesson horses are. There is a special place in heaven for lesson horses. ❤
❤puts up with us humans
Mushu is a good boy without a mean bone in his body.
Mushu will make some young girl a great first horse. So much mane to braid and bow up. Great thick tail to braid. What a great boy to play with. I always love his mustache.
I feel completely different. He should never have a teenager around him. He needs someone like Shay that loves to breed and really knows what a beautiful horse he is. I think he's too young for this experience sorry..
He would be excellent for a young rider. He's sweet and loves attention. A young rider would be awesome as long as someone is NOT totally inexperienced. All horses ponies need love from someone!!❤️
After many more years of experience and with parents who know horse husbandry themselves.
@@dianatracy9687you don’t have any idea what’s best for Mushu. This teen is an experienced rider.
@@dianatracy9687 Shae knows what she's doing. Not that Shae only wants to breed she wants her horses to be happy, NOT treat them badly. She has loads of experience and knows what's best for Mushu. She spends a lot of time with her horses and again, takes exellent care of them.
This was such a good and fun experience!!! He was such a good boy!! I love his gaits, I love how responsive he his to my cues and ofc he's Mushu!! Thank you again Shae!!!
you looked so good in that riding session!
I wanted to ask you if you had fun and what it was like riding him.. Thank you for commenting.
Good job Piper 👍 Doin'the Mushu Shuffle 😅 ❤
Good job, Piper! That was very educational to see! You are a credit to your teacher ⭐🅰+
You’re obviously a horse lover and so good with them. Mushu trusted you!!!
Piper & Mr Mushu❤
The horses you chose to buy from auctions or private are so fortunate to have you to start them out. I was alittle bothered at first to learn that you buy then sell, but that was before I realized the horses you are starting out recieve a strong foundation on a intelligent gentle, kind and loving hand. ❤
A good first owner is a huge gift to a horse. Good training from the beginning will save them from a world of misery.
I predict that your giant puppy will be a star.
😅😅😅
Love how Ariel is watching Mushu’s workout.❤❤good job Piper😊
Yes!! Agreed!! I love watching the foals grow!! they are both getting so big!! thank you for watching!
My family owns a cattle ranch. I rode horses from about 5 years old on. But, I was just put on a horse , and told go. I really wish I had been coached, or taught like this. Even though I have ridden for years, I'm learning so much from this
❤
Same here. Started riding at about 4, but never learned technique. Just got on & rode. Wish I were younger & could start all over!!
@@MsWarriordiva You can start right now learning the right technique.
I too, was a child that my folks got a pony for me when none of us knew anything about horse care. I fell off multiple times and by listening to people who knew how to ride and how to care for a horse, I'd pick up hints, some good some bad. But if you don't know, you don't know. I kept learning each and every year for over 50 years until my body could no longer climb in the saddle. I love watching Shae with her techniques. Obviously I'm still learning even though I will never ride a horse again.
Same here, originally self taught other then being shown how to properly saddle up and put a bridle on, hoof pick and brush the horse. I learnt to ride by going out riding trails with a 11 year old friend who's parents had Shetlands (I was 12 at the time). Shetlands who were very pushy and loved to pigroot and would rear up (so I learnt to stay on well), one was an old show pony so it had a tricks it would do. We were little kids but we'd ride every weekend, often along the public dirt roads too. We got to know elderly ladies along the routes we would ride who would bring us out milk and cookies and carrots or apples for the ponies :) .
I didn't have a pony of my own till a couple of years later when I turned 14 (a beautiful Welsh Mountain pony who was a great jumper, he put complete faith in me and we'd jump things which were at his eye height) and then started attending a pony club (finally some dressage lessons) till I outgrew him and had to get a horse, who was 2 when I got him and untrained, he was trained to ride at 3. (Sadly he had to be put down at 5 due to cancer after vets misdiagnosed).
Mushu is one of my favorites and I’ll be sad when the day comes that he goes. His personality is delightful and he absolutely adores you.
I hope she decides to keep him!
@@Ineden774 If she keeps him, there will be one less horse she can rescue.
Yes, it makes sense for taking much more time to get Mushu up to the optimum standards of a riding program. I would love to ride Mushu anytime from now until “forever”! I just love this fantastic cob!!! ❤️🐴❤️
Yes,me too🎉
Ditto on the Mush!!😊
These two did so well together. Mushu is an adorable chunk. His moustache cracks me up ❤
Love his moustache
Piper and Mushu both did great. Congratulations to you Shae for being such a wonderful instructor.
Tbh I can't imagine myself anywhere else without Shae!!
Did you see how quickly Mushu turned his head as soon as he heard Shae say "treat"? 😊
Oh yes, puppy dog! Soon he will be spelling too “w-a-l-k”
I just giggle when I see him working. He's such an adorable tub.
I love the chunker so much!
He’s like a fluffy teddy bear. What a great lesson. Well done Mushu and Piper.
I have been watching other channels and I find myself, who knows nothing about horses, and their proper training, shouting out to the screen things like No, your horse needs to be trained to stay perfectly still while you are mounting him, until you say go forward… or No , you are going down hill on a trail ride, your horse needs to know it can only walk, so he doesn’t run away on you!
Piper is so gentle and patient with Mushu, and imo she will become an awesome trainer …like yourself! 😂❤😊
What a blessing it would be to be able to purchase a horse that was trained like this by you ! Your students have an amazing instructor and role model as well.
Mushu has such expressive eyes. What a doll!
Shae 2.0. Piper and Mushu are learning from the best! They're both gaining experience and confidence. What a great day for all of you. You sound like such a proud Mama. ❤
Looking nice! The young man is doing very well.
Just a good advice from a long time European english style rider:
If you want to get the stirrups a little longer, it will be easier to keep the heels down and the leg steady. Also makes it easier to light trott and to sit deep.
We used to cross the stirrups over the saddle and light trott then.
One does get a good feel for the horse, then.
We only had the stirrups that high for jumping.
The right lenght is the distance between wrist and shoulder of the rider's arm.
Moshu is a wonderful horse!
I just can't get enough of Mushu - he is adorable!
We all know how Sweet he is cant imagine him ever being bad. If he ever did then we would know hes not well. Be Blessed, stay Beautiful.
His little moustache wibbles get me all the time
I miss my “Elite Green Squad” 😢 I started riding at 7. I didn’t even get on a horse for the 1st 3 months. I had to study and learn the movements of the gaits. I had to learn about tack and the different bridles, bits, saddles. She had me grooming and mucking stalls every day. I was so bummed I just wanted to ride. Everyone was different. When she felt you were ready you got to start riding and we learned bareback 1st. I miss her SO much. when I turned 15 I was “promoted” we had a team of 5 girls who would be assigned to the green horses coming in as possible lesson horses but wasn’t ready for all level of riders, we would ride them and switch it up so they got used to different people riding them. Some became lesson horses and some were sold. I LOOOOOVED the green horses. You had to be ON YOUR SH*T!! There was no room for error. I definitely was the best of the best at falling 😂 I even won an award for it 🤣🤣🤣
Oh Mushu, you got so muddy sweet guy. But you're being so good while they help you clean up. You make heart happy.
Shae - you are truly an exceptional trainer and teacher. This is evident in your horses and students. Mushu did SO WELL!!! He is truly an amazing horse. I hope my first horse (I’m 51 right now! Lol) will be half as wonderful as he is. Please keep up the great work and keep allowing some of us to live vicariously through your videos!! 🥰🥰🥰
Piper did a great job, too!!!
Thank you so much!! I try!! @@salentipy
And there's no reason you cannot get your first horse in your later years! You just need to have someone who knows horses well that you can trust to help you find the right one.
@@alycewich4472 got my eyes on Mushi!! 😆😆😆
@@pipers6529 You are so very welcome, dear child!! 🤗🤗🤗
I am so happy for Piper and Mushu! They did such a good job!
Mushu would be a nice therapy horse down the road. He is slow and more whoa than go, which he may be happy in that field. Plus he is short and less intimidating to those with disabilities.
Hard to keep heels down around that round barrel! They both did great! Yay Piper and Mooshy! ❤
It’s true haha!
LOL! Tbh i need to work on my leg a lot more lol @@freespiritequestrian
Your a great teacher, Piper and Mushu are excellent students! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Yes!! Shae is the best ever!!
I love Mushu so much! He’s a sweet boy. No doubt he will be great with this young rider.
Piper and Mushu did a great job. Looks like Mushu picks up things quickly . Good luck to both of them . I Love Mushu, he's a little chunk. Enjoyed video video
Awe mushu did amazing! Such a sweet boy with the sweetest disposition!❤
He is such a character with that Mustache 😊what a Sweetheart ! She did a great job 🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
He looks so pretty after his grooming 😍and so cute with his Bell Bottom Legs
Mushu's mustache is quite impressive!
I love mushu he is literally my dream horse
What a great way of developing both horse and rider.
Mushu is so fricken cute! 🥰 He's so sweet and personable. I think he's my choice for best personality at Free Spirit! Each member of the herd has their own special quality. 🐴💖
Love Mushu, I am here for him…. Such a personality he needs his own channel lol ❤❤
I almost did not watch your video because I was having one of those day but I am so glad I did. It was very nice to watch you teach this young rider and give her more experience. It is always always a pleasure to watch your videos Shae...it always makes my day. Great job!!! Well executed. Many Blessings ❤❤❤
This must make you feel very proud. Seeing how you’ve brought him along. Good Boy Mushu.
He is already my dream pony😊❤.
Mushu is such a good boy! Nice job Piper! 😘
Wow! 2 years already with Mushu! Time is really flying. He’s such a good horse. I think anyone would be proud to own him. Plus he’s so cute.
Piper is one of your better students, she looks like she has great hands for riding.
Thank you!!
Hi Shae! Piper, Mushu and you did so well! Mushu is a dreamy pony and responds well to gentle handling. Piper was nervous -- to be expected! Performance anxiety plus she is a young teen girl. Your instruction was great! Wahoo!
Thank you so much!!! it was a little nerv wracking at first, but i knew Mushu wouldnt do anything bad!
😊💓@@pipers6529
Oh, Mushu, you are so precious and growing up. 💖
Learning as he goes. Mushu, you're smart.
💙 🏇
He really is a sweetheart Shae … and his personality shines through even during non-riding times. Just thinking of the short you posted the other day, whereby he was sitting like a dog! 😂🤣😂
He’ll definitely make somebody a great companion riding horse when his time comes. I like how you really ensure they’re ready to move on, before you ever consider a forever home! You take pride in your horsemanship and that’s evident in how you treat them … and others!
I’m sure you’ll have another project before you ever ‘back’ either Ariel or Ezzy … and I’m not counting Lumiere. Especially seeing you’re already searching for a forever home for Arlo … and I think Gaston will follow shortly thereafter, if you haven’t already mentioned it!
It’s a great outdoor arena … good footing and lots of room. It seems to be pretty quiet, even though it’s not all that secluded.
Looking forward to the next VLOG … and are the stalls getting done soon or has that been slightly delayed, given the expenses you’ve incurred as of late?
Have a blessed weekend! 🙏🙌❤️🇨🇦🍎🐴🥕🐎🍏

I love your positive approach to training. You don't take shortcuts to get end results. You have a well thought out plan for success for both your horses and students. And your emphasis for safety gear sets you apart from many on youtube. Mushu is a wonderful little horse. It will be fun to watch as you progress him knowing you will find the best possible home for him.
The Handsome Hotdog boy will be getting a saddle very soon. He's very willing. ❤
I really enjoyed watching when you ponied Mushu on the trail ride a couple months ago.
Excellent Mushu!! Such a good boy, and yes especially since he was hearing you.. and knowing the difference with a different rider… he did so well.. love him!❤
Piper looking good. Mushy your father makes you look like you have no feet. Lol. Nice stop. You all did excellent. 🎉
Several things, I think the body armor actually looks really cool as well as being a great piece of protection. And, Mushi has his foundation skills nailed, so this was I think pretty easy for him and he knows Piper which is a plus. She posts very well by the way! He is a great little-big guy. Looking forward to seeing him on new adventures/ trail rides etc. I know the horse's feel the pleasure and fun along with thier rider's and then look forward to being saddled up and made ready to go for that. Lastly, my hubby who loves to do projects and restoration work has often said, it is the additional last 10 % effort-work put in that makes the difference between good and excellence. He is a perfectionist. Shae, you go the full 100% on your horses and with all you do. It certainly shows!👍👍
Thank you!! From watching this I think i need to work on my leg a little more lol
@@pipers6529 Watching yourself ride is one of the best ways to improve.
Amazing teenager. Fantastic job to both! Maybe Piper will be the one to buy him some day.
Mushu would be anyones dream horse honestly 😍
Good job, Piper and Mushu! It's great to learn together. Love how you work with horses and your students. If I were a parent I would feel totally safe entrusting my child to your teachings. 💖
I love free spirit farm ❤️
I’m so glad you kept pointing out heels down!🙏 I was so hyper aware of it!🤪
Yes! After watching myself ride, i could have had my feet out of the stirups a little more LOL
@@pipers6529 seeing yourself on film is a tremendous help! I bet you’ll visualize it now when you ride and your form will be perfect!❤️🙏
@@pipers6529 ahhhh, your reply tells me you will always do well in whatever you choose!❤️🙏
Shae. You are a fantastic instructor!!! I think Piper is the best student to help you with Mushu's training. Ya'll make a great team!!!! :)
Thank you!
Hello! Mushu is fabulous ! Such a good boy! It is a “Big deal”….fabulous great job to you and Piper!
with all the other videos too, piper seems like a great student. glad she got to be the one ! I really like seeing her pop up here and there.
Mushu is quite the character!
It was lovely to watch Piper and Mushu work out the lunging and riding time together. They were at a very comfortable, relaxed stage. Each giving the other a steady, easy confidence in a very safe environment. Also, Shae’s calm, kind, encouraging attentiveness and instructions gave those riding participants a solid, content, happy togetherness. Some bonding and being as one in this gentle riding experience. I was in this class experience too! Vicariously, yes, but equally inspired by everyone involved, in this moment in time! 🥰❤️🤗❤️🐴❤️🤝❤
Piper is such a great girl! Anyone else would have wanted to ride a little more, yet she realized taking it slow and steady is best!❤😊. Mushu did great! I love your channel!!❤😊❤
Thank you!! I love watching Shaes videos as well!!
When will you use a little mustache wax on Mushu to give him a dapper handlebar? He's such a gentle, showy young man. I can just see him in an old cowboy western riding into town with a handlebar mustache and being tied up to the hitching post outside of the old saloon.🤠
😅😂❤
Oh what a great Saturday outing. Piper is a darling to watch, so responsive to your directions, Shae. And of course, Mushu, is just the best! I’m so happy you share your world with us, Shae…thank you from the bottom of my rather old heart! California calling
She was doing absolutely amazing, but that young rider on his back what a good boy
I bet it went great!! Now I'm going to watch.😊😊😊
Ok the lesson/session is over. Nice job Mushu and Piper (lovely young lady).
I swear I could feel Mushu thinking about everything. Who is this person grooming me and tacking me up? Mama Shae why are you holding the lunge lune and somebody is on my back? She feels different, her body isn't like your body. I'm ok though.😊😊😊❤❤❤
It was very interesting to watch and learn how to safely and gently introduce Mushu to taking commands from someone other than you. As a non equestrian, and feeling very stupid at the moment, I never thought about a horse possibly reacting poorly the first time someone different is riding them, especially if the horse is still young and green.
Wonderful lesson and education for me today!!
Thank you Shae, Piper and Mushu!! ❤❤❤❤❤
I like being able to sit in on a lesson and your teaching strategies. Thank you.
Mushu is so cute!!!❤
Good job Piper and Mushu! You make a good team.
Piper needs to watch her foot placement in the stirrup. 25:10 you can see how far in her foot is. This is why her toes kept going down and her heels were up. Other than that, she and Mushu did a great job!
That was so peaceful to watch.
I was soo happy when I opened up my phone and saw that there was a new video!! I look so forward to every one of them. He is such a handsome horse ❤. I’d give anything to own him. He’s soo sweet.
Mushu has such a sweet face and oh my gosh! the mustache!
That went awesome! Piper is a great rider for him! Mushu really is impressive for his age! ❤
Mushu is such a kind soul ❤
Great job Piper and Mushu! This is why I enjoy watching you, you take the time and don’t rush things when starting a new horse like Mushu who was untrained. This video shows how much you trust him by letting Piper ride him already! Bravo 👏 Plus Piper is a great rider, and to get on a green horse can be a little nerve racking, because he’s young still, things can happen quickly and you have to be prepared for that. When you said you’ve had him for 2 years, I’m like whoa! How time flys by, I remember when he came to you sight unseen ❤
Shae I bet the horses throw mud balls at each other when you aren't looking. My son and daughter use to have horse ball fights in the pasture with their cousins. Thank God they didn't have cow paddy fights as their cousins did have a milk cow in the pasture with their horse. 😊
@27:58 Mushu’s face and ears when you said “treat” 😂🤣😂
That was terrific! Well done, Mushu and Piper. 🙂 Also, I have a question if you don't mind? I keep comparing American riding with European riding and was wondering about the length of stirrups. Now, here we learn that when you relax your leg down, then you should be able to reach the stirrup by just lifting your toes (unless you tacking out or jumping). Your stirrup lengths, however, seem somewhat shorter than what I was used to. I wonder if this is specifically American? Also, I would love to hear from others in this thread and their use of stirrups.
You are such a kind an expert trainer. I wish I could learn more from you. Your a wonderful Lady
They did very well together. Its great that they get to learn together.
Wow Mushu and Piper did so good! Great training season! Mushu is a good boy!❤️😀🐗
Mushu’s mustache is just hysterical. What a character ❤️ luck Piper!
Bravo to all three of you!! A good milestone!
Shae, this was a great video with Piper and Mushu. I have always wanted to see you working with your students, teaching them proper riding technique. Both Piper and Mushu did so well together. This was such an interesting, enjoyable video and I learned so much! Piper may only be 15 years old, but she appears to have a great future ahead of her as an equestrian and we can tell that she really enjoys her riding experiences. Great job, Shae, Piper, and Mushu! 💕😊🐴🏇👍💖
Piper certainly wants to learn and you are a good teacher
Yes!! I love learning new things at my happy place!! AKA the barn!!
What a treat this video is!!! I have been wishing you would show more of your training methods, Mushu is a great example of them. It's funny but I live on the west coast, I am a western rider, and am old enough to be your grandmother, I am not a trainer by any means but I have trained colts from babies along with lots of green horses in my lifetime with basically the same methods as you. UA-cam makes a small world! She was reading Mushu nicely and he was listening to her. Good job! Thank you for being such a good mentor to your students, but also think how much better many horse's lives will be because you trained you students so well.🥰
Thank you for sharing this video with us. I REALLY ENJOYED watching these two.
Oh my gosh, I loved seeing this! Mushu is doing such a great job, and loved to see one of your students featured in a video! They both did great!
You are such a wonderful teacher
Every journey begins with a single step …. Which seems to be your foundation for success 🎉❤. Mooshoo is such a great horse and this young lady is so sweet // she reminds me of my granddaughter at that age 🥰.
Love your channel ❤❤❤
Piper is a great rider for a fifteen-year old! Maybe she would respond to “toes up!” 😊
I think it was more so her getting use to how wide he was. Which we aren’t going to worry about her heel during this type of ride. She has a beautiful heel it’s just different when you’re adjusting to a wide horse.
You are a wonderful teacher and she is a wonderful student. I didn’t mean to be at all critical. I wouldn’t even be able to sit on a horse! lol. I love your videos and your passion and integrity.
I LOVE this! I'm with you. I rescue animals and rehab to give them a better life. Some people don't realize that because of people like you, that animal has so much of a better chance at a great life with solid training and a great early experience. Some people just can't see the bigger picture. Mushu is one lucky horse!
