BELLE & EZZY: 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 9-year-old Dapple Grey, Draft who is just under 16.2hh. 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! I am SO THANKFUL that Belle (and Ezzy) came into my life.

OMG will she be ok ?
Please Belle be ok.
We all love you beautifull girl.
Please hold on.
Hi Shae! I have commented on your last couple of videos and if you wouldn't mind I asked questions about your business if you don't mind answering those please! Love your videos!
🙏 you will know what to do and when. Til then enjoy and feel the love ❤
What better birthday day present than a horse! Oh yeah!
Belle deserves the TLC she receives from you because the condition you described could be caused by previous harsh mishandling by nasty owners unwilling to respect these sentient beings the precious horses 🦄 helping mankind since e😮ons
It sucks when horses have incurable conditions. I know you will keep Belle comfortable and happy. I'm sorry Shae. 🫂🩷
Been there and have had to make those hard decisions. It doesn’t get any easier. Yes Horses can be fun and very rewarding, but along with that comes the bad such as Belle’s shivers and 😮as with Lumier. Even from a “reputable” source you can get surprises. From what was said he was actually culled from his inability to cover a mare and not from whatever excuse they gave at the time. If he was proud cut he will be the same as having a stallion in the herd.
I’m sorry about Belle and Lumi. It’s hard to be an animal owner and deal with problems. I have 3 cats. Noah James has the urinary crystals on special food, Basil who is in kidney disease stage 3. You just try to do your best with “sick” animals/ pets
@@jeaninejones4382What’s wrong with Lumi?
My vet told me that the greatest act of love we can show our animals is the gift of letting them go when it's time. That's not to say the decision is easy. It's never easy and is often painful. It's not much but I'll stand with you on any decision you make regarding Miss Belle. You know her better than anyone at this point and are obviously on top of your research. Your loving heart will know what's best.
As we were about to let go of one of our Great Dane champions my husband said to the vet this has to be the hardest part of your job. He replied, it is but what is really hard is the people who don’t understand that there comes a time when the quality of life is no longer there.
That's the term I use when I'm working with clients and their pets ❤
@@phyllispalladino6183 we are these animals' caretakers and it is our duty to protect them from pain and suffering, even if it tears our hearts apart... I'm so sorry about your dog.
@@phyllispalladino6183 I absolutely agree! I euthanized my reserve champion Arabian mare and it just about tore the heart out me, but her laboratory test results were irrefutable. Yet I was criticized because, to the casual observer, she did not appear to be in crisis. Later, I owned a Paso Fino that developed navicular disease. A horseperson can intuit pain in their horse, and it became obvious that she was suffering. My veterinarian at the time disagreed with my decision to have her 'put down', and told me that horses were even raced with her condition. So your point about "quality of life" is well taken.
It's a horrid decision to make 😢 its necessary though. I know a few people that "weren't ready" to say goodbye...once I said (in a nice way) that I know it hurts but it's selfish to keep them here when they're suffering, they changed their minds. They didn't regret changing it either. After seeing it from another angle, the could see that it was selfish. I go by the same ethics....as much as it hurts 💔
Shae, there’s no need to apologize for babbling. I’m all ears. I know you’ll do what’s best for Belle even if it means sending her to the heavens. She gifted you Ezzy. Also know that all of us subscribers are here for you through the good times and the bad.
No matter the animal. It’s heart wrenching when our beloved animals aren’t going to get better. I’m so very sorry. Praying for strength when the time comes.
I could feel my heart sink when I saw the title 😢
Same …
I know right
Yup 😢
Same here... I wasn't even going to listen cuz I didn't want to hear it.
@@janicewink4614 You can listen…I was apprehensive too but it’s more of an update on things going forward..a reality check…there is some good video of Belle you’ll enjoy.
Anyone with an autoimmune condition gets worse with pregnancy they are. My girlfriend had MS and after the baby her immune system went bonkers and she had flare ups for months. Sweetheart you are an excellent horse woman and, I for one, never question your decisions regarding your horses. As a horse woman in my youth I understand how hard these decisions are and how personal. I hope you don’t feel the need to justify your decisions to others. Informing us is one thing but it breaks my heart when you feel the need to justify your decisions. You do what you need to do for yourself and Belle.
Although autoimmune problems can flair after pregnancy it doesn't happen to everyone, in fact some people get better during/after pregnancy. That's one of the things that makes autoimmune conditions difficult, they are so unpredictable. But when taking about animals you really shouldn't breed them because there are risks and you don't want them to pass it to offspring. I'm just glad miss Belle is in good hands now.
AMEN!!
I Heard with M S during Pregnancy their are no M.S. Symptoms
I was wondering if breeding this horse was a bad idea.
@@chaliceflame1314 well probably but there's not a whole lot that can be done now. Free spirit didn't breed her, she was already pregnant when they bought her from the auction so there wasn't much to be done. In general breeding horses should really be left to professionals with authentic bloodlines who know the genes of their horses and not to people who just like the coat color and have no regard to whether or not the horse is physically healthy enough to be bred.
I'm glad Belle is with you. I cannot imagine the kind of life she would have with a less loving and compassionate care taker.
My thoughts exactly. Horrible to say but she possibly could have ended up on a shipment to Mexico. 😫
Thank goodness Shae came across her when she did!
Based on all of the animals I've had through my 66 years, they tell you when it's time. Bless you for keeping her happy.
It’s so sad that any horse has to go through shivers
I know right it's so sad😢
The poor girl deserves to be a pasture princess, but she deserves to be happy even more. I completely agree that the situation is one that should be monitored to make sure she is still happy. I’m glad to hear she’s doing well, she’s such a gorgeous horse and gave you beautiful Ezzy . In all the shorts she just looks so happy, like she was made to be in a big field. Thank you for making sure she is so well taken care of
They all are meant to be in a big field, able to run and be free with their herds. What humans have put them through is just awful.
It is a heads up..🙏🏻
People who dont know horses have a hard time comprehending how hard it is for a horse to function without 1 hind quarter. It's even more of a struggle than being a quadramputee as a person, because they can't barely move enough for proper digestion, and to keep muscle tone, and be a happy horse. Also with a neuromuscular disease comes constant pain and pins and needles, numbness and spasms. Anyone who has fibromyalgia, severe chronic pain from a spinal injury, neuropathy, RA or any condition where pain and mobility issues run your life can understand. Shae you are so amazing and compassionate! Being a horse 'empath' is so important to knowing and training your herd, it hurts when you can feel their struggle.
Perfectly stated💌🐴💌
What an incisive comment! These neurological diseases in horses are new (at least to me). I'm hearing about Shivers, Wobbles, and Kissing disease. They all seem to share a neurologic etiology.
Neurological pain and progressive loss of mobility and are mentally very hard on people, it must be really really hard on a horse because they don't understand what's going on and have the fear of predators. I think a lot of Belle's mental issues might genuinely stem from "just" this. (She might have felt some pins and needles or something like that long before anything was visible to humans.) I had no idea about the problem with digestion, that sucks. Poor poor Belle.
Shae, your heart is pure and your mind in the right place. Any decision you make will be the right one, and also the time.
First I have adored Belle since day one because of the way she related to you and the way she moves...so beautiful like a dancer. It's unique...she has an air about her walk...she strutts her stuff. But people also don't realize what dancers go through in training and in injury seasons...esp after professional life is over. And the neurological issues, because I work with disabled or people with strokes. Everything you are saying melts my heart but is positively about the truth and very real. I have learned so much about horses from you... but best, I use ideas you share and apply them with my students and even my animals. Caring and kindness is such a huge live kabguage that flows through everything you do. Fight or flight...so relatable to trauma situations. Then you talked about Luminar. Wow. Multiply trauma and how both Belle and Luminar would handle life. 😢. Love how you handle it all with your firm but loving habits. Thank you for sharing all these details. Heart talk is your gift. Explaining and educating your viewers has certainly made me grateful. Love your openess and transparency. Thank you also for letting us visit Belle with you. I now sense, more and more, why your story , as a trainer and Belles situation mirrors my life with those I train and even care for. GOD Bless you Shae
💕
As someone who had to put their first and only horse down after only owning him for 2 years, it was the hardest decision. But he was in pain every single day because of his leg. After my dad spent thousands on surgeries and everything you can think of. I’ll never forget him.
Anyone who follows you should realize that you have a true love for your animals. You do everything possible to fix or heal your horses. Your heart tells you what is right to do. Belle is your horse. You know her better than anyone. It is so unfair for her to be given this nasty disease. Thank God she is with you for whatever time she has left.
As a person with neurological issues, I feel Belle's frustration. I hope her shivers progression slows down, and she's able to live the life she deserves. She's a beautiful girl.
You have gone above and beyond to make sure Belle gets the best life she has deserved for so long, you were fated to find her, you were fated to care for her and her last baby Esmerelda , nobody could ask for you to do more x
Thank you!
If you know anyone with a neurological condition then what you say about temperature and other things hitting Belle differently totally makes sense. All input is processed by the nervous system - temperature, sights, sounds, etc. This is a lot. And progressive. It sounds like you’re doing the best possible thing for Belle. She is safe. She is happy. She is loved. Thank you for caring for her. Thank you for updating us. I can’t imagine how hard going thru this is for you and your fam. ❤❤❤
My mom has MS and she said the same thing!
@@freespiritequestrianI have Fibromyalgia - my feet are hot all the time. They are out from the duvet summer & winter. When we had an exceptionally hot summer (a rare event in the UK😂) I had my feet in ice water. I have since found "Freezer slippers" that I wear in bed, if my feet feel like they are walking on hot coals. It sounds funny, and I do joke about it - but it is incredibly painful. Much, much love to you Shae, your gorgeous Belle & especially to your Mum, who judging by her daughter, must be an exceptional woman❤
I truly feel Belle was sent to you. She's an old soul who is giving you all the love you deserve
Definitely ❤
I agree! Ezzy is the reason Belle was sent to you!
Sweet Belle. You will do what is best for her.
Whats sweet to me is her bond with Doc. He looks out for her. Seems like they needed each other at just the right time
We know the end of the story about Belle and only you know when the last chapter is written. I trust your intuition and horse sense and guidance for all of them. I hope you know that those of us who have had horses know their vulnerabilities and if we care for them, we know there are times we have to let go. Many hugs.
Lumi is such a sweetheart. Poor boy thought he had to step up to the mares in heat. Let's hope he will learn to be a gentleman with time. I'm in awe at how handsome he is.
When it's time to help them Find The Door, as my husband says, they find a way to let you know. Bell will do the same. Heartfelt hugs to both of you.
i think you know your horses better than the public.
I just have to say it is so refreshing to see a responsible horse owner. You put the horses welfare first and I love that. You owe no one an explanation. You’re doing an amazing job❤
Belle, as every horse who has come into your life is treated with THEIR best interest in mind. Belle is blessed to be with you and Kyle ♥️
Thank you for noting that it is always about what is best for Belle and not anyone else. Belle is lovely and sweet, and Shae will do what is best for Belle. ❤
You feel free to take care of your horses without others sharing their opinions! You know what to do! I have always loved Belle! And , she loves you! ❤❤❤❤❤
You have allowed us to become part of Belle's journey, I, for one, am grateful. I rejoice on good days and feel sadness when changes are not positive. Thank you, Shae, for opening the doors to your life with horses❤
It's too bad not all horse owners are as thoughtful as you!
So sad that Belle’s shivers is progressing so fast, her other hind leg starting to be affected too… I hope you have the best time with her Shae, for as long as it lasts.
I can't believe they didn't disclose about Lumi 😕 that's so dishonest. They had to know why you were asking. I had definitely wondered why they chose not to breed him if that had originally been the plan, but figured you might know more about his background.
Sad news about Belle but not unexpected. I'm glad she's happy where she is, and I hope she continues to feel good. And all things considered, I'm extra glad she gave you Ezzie.
I'll never forget that first time you mounted Belle, when you didn't know about the shivers yet. She was trying so hard to give you what you wanted, and she trusted you so much. It made an impression on me. She's lovely. 💙
Thank you for the update. Sometimes things come into our lives to stay, and others are only with us for a short time.
Whether they’re with us for life, or just a few months or years, they’re in our lives for a reason.
You found Belle when she needed you and have given her a safe home for her and her foal. She will live the rest of her life, however long it may be, in as much comfort and peace as it’s possible for you to give her.
Her baby has been started in life with all of the advantages that Belle was likely denied, and Esmeralda will have a world of possibilities available to her as she grows and learns.
In turn, you have learned so much from having both Belle and Esmeralda in your life and you freely share that knowledge with everyone.
When you look back on your time with Belle, the only regret you will have is that your time together was so short.
I wish I could show you some footage to share of an 18 year old mare with suspected Shivers at my barn. That might really get the point across to people. Unfortunately, the vets here don’t really know what they’re dealing with and haven’t made an official diagnosis. Fortunately, after many tests, it is believed that she’s not experiencing any pain so still has quality of life. It’s just a really tough thing to see. Like Belle, she’s a big beautiful mare (Andalusian) who was SO sweet and a broodmare/dressage horse for most of her life. I’m not sure when things went downhill exactly, as she’s not my horse, but I saw her a long time ago and she was normal and now - her progression did seem to stop at some point, but she’s VERY neurological. She can walk/trot/canter, like movement is good, but at a standstill it’s like she has zero balance in her hind end and is often leaning against a fence to support herself. Going from a standstill to a walk seems to be difficult for her, and similar to Belle, she’s changed from a super broke/handled mare to being VERY nervous of anyone around her. The owner’s daughter continued to ride/compete with her until a year or 2 ago, basically just ignored the weirdness on the ground because under saddle she actually moved fine.. until she lost her balance while being ridden and practically fell over and the daughter got injured and basically never trusted riding her again. So trying to progress Belle’s training could put a rider or Belle herself at risk. It’s absolutely heartbreaking to see and know that there’s nothing that can be done, but maybe the positive to take out of my scenario is the mare is 18 and still going 🩷 Just living a life of retirement on a pasture.
Thank you for your description of a more advanced shivers case. I am just someone who thinks horses are pretty so I would never doubt someone who works with them when they say things are worsening. I think it can be helpful to know what might be the case in the future for a disorder that very few of us know so we better understand the reasoning behind decisions.
Oh Shae. I see the pain and worry on your face. You will always do what's best for your horses. And you will not allow them to suffer. You and Belle are in my prayers❤🙏🏼 Be strong!
Imo Belle is the QUEEN of FSE ,she is what caught my eye,her and her journey ....❤
You are giving Belle the best life. Know that.
We trust your judgement and know that Belle is in EXCELLENT hands. Belle was as lucky to find you as you were to find her. There is a special place in heaven for you and Kyle.
Man, there are a lot of people that make huge assumptions of what you do. You're very transparent and there's no reason for assuming or judging about things that aren't even a thing. You do what you do for your dream and business and what's best for your family and horses.
Is shivers like MS in people? No matter what happens- Belle has gotten the opportunity to be loved
MS is inflammation in the nerval system and liquor.Because of that infammation the myelin shaeth gets scarred and nerval impulses did not get through(depends on the stage).
You can test for MS via punction for liquor and CT scan.
Sorry I am no native english speaker,but I hope you understand what I mean....
Shivering in horses,the cause is still unknown.
Understand where you’re at with sweet Belle and her degrading condition. Thank you for sharing this process and educating us. You’re all in my prayers.
its hard to describe shivers in a human equivalent . I would compare it to late stage Parkinson where the body "freezes" for a time (moments/minutes) all the while the horse is trying to move and then wonders why it can't move. Then the body moves and the horse has a moment of panic because its thinking Oh I can't more! Oh I can move but they can't control the movement. Its frightening for the horse and person caring for them.
@@carlacowdrey6861 thank you!
Shae I would never ever doubt your decisions on anything. God knows Belle is in the best hands ...yours. Love Belle and what she has given all of us.
It's a difficult balance and the most important thing is Belle's quality of life which you know.
I watch another horse channel where a Friesian gelding called Bear (black horses friesian) has SDSL, incurable.
He is opposite to Belle, quiet, intelligent and loves people. He has had a major operation, a plate and 18 screws to give him a better quality of life. He can tolerate this major poking and prodding, Belle definitely couldn't.
Bear's op is a major risk and he has an antibiotic resistant infection which all of Team Bear are hoping/ praying he comes through.
The vet team have fallen in love with Bear as well (hard not to!) And are trying everything to get rid of this infection. Manuka honey and medical grade maggots are next.
He loves his humans, grass, cleaves, blueberries, bananas and melons. He even has apple quarters dunked in his water bucket which he loves 😊
No guarantee he will get through this, but as long as he's bright eyed and not in a huge amount of pain, then he will keep going. His mum Tracey will know when he tells her he's had enough. He's a happy boy for now, and we just want him back at the beautiful farm in Cumbria UK where he lives. Darling Bear 🐻 💙❤️
no horse could have a better owner. We all have to make difficult decisions with the animals that we own. We all have seen what a good job you have been doing.
Phew…I thought it was going to be a quality of life today. I knew the reality discussion would happen. I am just keeping you,family and Belle in my thoughts.
The worth of any human being can so readily be determined by the way they care for their animals, their children and those less fortunate. You will always do what is best for your children (horses). There is a special place in heaven being held for you.
❤
All of your viewers that have been here for a time support you in anything you do . Just love your channel and what you do .
I know you will do everything you can for Belle. She is a sweet, sensitive soul. Shivers is such a terrible condition, I can't imagine the helpless feeling for the horse not being able to move the way they should without knowing why.
Shea,
Always have total faith in your decisions and your love for your horses. Belle is so beautiful and her foal!
You and your horses, family are always in my prayers!!💕🙏🏼💕
Belle has been blessed with the very best caregiver... regardless of her health situation, she is one lucky girl!
Please know that You are giving Belle her Best life, lots of Love from You.
Keep making Beautiful Memories with her!! 🙏
It's so sad about Belle she is such a magnificent horse. I'm glad that she got such a magnificent owner in you.❤
Sadly there is no cure for shivers, i know this all too well. Im at the point with my horse with shivers were were having to call the vet, and try something new and if that doesn't help some conversations are going to need to be had
There are new medication’s to treat it
I’m so sorry 😞
So sad. Good luck.
@@freespiritequestrian it's part of this, all I can know I im doing everything I can for the sweetest boy in the world, and he's taken care of me and I've done my best to take care of him.
My horse I had to put down because of shivers. It sucks! @@lunasummer9375
I feel so bad for you while doing this video. I'm feeling that you're doing your absolute best at what you are doing with Belle and letting us, your horse family in guiding us to the inevitable. You concern for Belle is number one and your concern for us is commendable.
Give her a great quality of life while you can. She will tell when she has had enough. She is a pasture pet at best.
I'm crying, i understand how Belle feels I have an neurologic illness, too. A lot of symptoms she is experiencing I have. I'm glad she has you. I know you will do right by her.
Hopefully Lumiere will settle down more in the future. I am glad he's with you. You're patient and experienced and the two of you will continue to grow together. And you will find the perfect property. Have faith!
I have never been so educated in a way that is so easily understood!!never stop educating!!Awsome job!!
Belle's in excellent hands with you. Im so glad your the one who ended up with her. Regardless of her condition. No telling what would happen to her if she hadn't. Your a blessing to her. She has someone who really cares and loves her . Wanting nothing but the best for her. She knows you'll do whatever it takes for her to make her life comfortable. There's no one better she could have than you. We all love how you educate all of us on horse care. Never apologize for doing so. Its actually very important knowledge your given people. Must love and respect to you . ❤
I have no doubt in my mind that you know what's best for Belle and that you will give her the best quality of life possible for as long as possible ❤
Shae …
You can babble with us all day long ..we would never get tired of it .. we love and support you in all that you do ❤
I know you are doing all you can. Belle is a diamond. You still have Ezzy. The greatest gift to you. She is & will be the greatest reminder that Belle gave this gift to you & no one else. There is a gift she gave to you because she felt safe. Belle is QUEEN. ❤❤❤.
Shae, keep doing what you’re doing, with Belle. She trusts you and so do I.
I absolutely hate the fact that you're going through this with Belle, Shae. Belle quickly became one of my favorite horses and I'm not saying that because Beauty and the Beast was and still is my favorite Disney movie growing up and Belle is my favorite Disney princess lol. I just hate the fact that Belle has had a hard hand dealt to her in life all the while like you said there was so much potential for this beautiful horse. At the end of the day, I know you'll do what is best for her and continue to do so. It's not very hard to tell that you care deeply for each and every one of the horses you take in. I'll continue to keep you and Belle in my thoughts - From new Horse Lover, Rhyan
This is the hardest part of life with horses. I admire your thinking.
I remember you said " you will always do what is best for Belle"
No need to explain.... we love you and your horses.
I am so sad to hear that the Shivers are getting worse I absolutely love her
She probably hasn’t been so cared for ever, until now. Even with the spraying, treats, etc.❤❤
I'm so sorry about Belle. She's truly an amazing beautiful horse. ❤❤❤❤
I am certain that Belle feels so blessed for having your care and the life you are allowing her to live ! Shea, you can be truly proud of the person you are ❣️
This is the hardest part of being a responsible owner. I am so glad Belle has you.
I have no doubt you have tried everything possible to help belle. I’m so so sorry she hasn’t improved. Sending prayers for belle and you , I know it’s very upsetting to you . 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I cried while watching this Belle is so special and it breaks me heart knowing she is struggling with movement but I'm so glad she is happy x
I think Belle knows you will do what's best for her and she will be forever grateful that her daughter will grow up with you..
Thanks for preparing me. I know that this community will have your back when the time comes for the last act of kindness.
Oh no! I’m so sorry! Sending prayers and love for Belle ❤
Any horse that has the preveldge to be under your care could not be more loved and taken care of. You are wonderful Shea! Thank you for always sharing with us.❤❤
Prays, Shey! You're already an angel for Belle . Thank you for your kindness 🙏
❤🎉🥲 So sweet to see Belle running and trotting and grazing at the end -- just being happy in the moment, thank you Shae for being the best horse momma. 🐴❤️🥰
Life is painful in general. It has its highest size and its lowest lows. In the in between can be filled with pain of loss. And hope a new beginnings.
When the student is ready, the teacher will arrive. Belle is your teacher❤❤❤
I'm glad to hear that Belle is so happy despite her shivers. She looks so content & Beautiful! So sad that it is progressing. We all know that she is in the best hands she possibly could be in with you Shae & receiving the best top quality care. Keep doing what you do Shae! ❤🐎
I am praying healing for sweet girl‼️ Nothing is impossible with Jesus🙏🏻 Praying strength and wisdom for you precious girl🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Unfortunately a condition like this is incurable at the current moment.
So sorry to hear about belle, love her so much and hope she gets well
You're also educating people about full care of horses. I'm a rescuer and have been my whole life. We do our best and what's best for them.
Keep up the good work.
I love how direct and outspoken you are because if someone has followed you for even a little while, they can’t help but know of the love, knowledge and skill you have regarding the hard decisions only you can make. So after telling people you specifically do not want their input, advice and suggestions, someone immediately tells you where Belle should be pastured. Did you not get the memo?! None of us are qualified to give you input on the hard decisions only you can make. You have my unqualified support 100%.
I’m so sorry about belle
I like that you are proactive rather than reactive with your charges. You’re well aware of what each animal needs and do what’s needed before a problem occurs. Like the situation with weaning Essie and with Lumie and the mares.
I’ve got neurological damage from breaking my neck and jaw along with arthritis, and I’m miserable in the winter right before storms break out and also in the summer whenever storms are coming. Neurological pain can make you feel anxious, full of dread, angry, sad, etc. If Belle gets too far gone, there’s nothing wrong with letting her go. I’ve wanted to be put down over these pains, myself, and I don’t have hundreds of pounds bearing down on my spine and legs like a horse does. You’ll make the right decision at the right time.😢
I can see why Beauty is so special now, no drama.💞
I started to tear up when I saw the title of your show today. But I am filled with admiration for your strength and knowledge and also filled with appreciation for the challenges before you, and more importantly it's so clear that you truly love these animals. Bless you on your way!
😢 I know that even if you can’t give her quantity of life, you will give her the best quality of life that you can. My heart 💔 for you and Belle. You are a great pony mama and don’t you forget it. 🙏🥹👏🏻🐴👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️
You truly are an amazing woman, and you are an outstanding horse mom ! Please don't listen to all the naysayers ! Those of us who understand horses know you are doing all that you can. Stay blessed, and know we really care for you and your mission.⚘️⚘️⚘️
It's so heartbreaking, but i know Belle has the best life anyone could ask for with you.❤
I think she should remain at the friend's barn,she looks so much better
She may be happier in a quieter situation. Sad, but we need to do what is best for our beautiful creatures given by God.
Agreed.
She definitely said suggestions aren’t helpful and that she is making the best decision for her horse. This woman is clearly very well educated on horses and more specifically Bell.
@@jessd3601 No one said she wasn’t. Go beat the drum elsewhere if you can’t stand others thoughts and words.
I 'am so sorry.stay strong
You are a great horse-mom, you will make the right decision at the right time for Belle. Sending you strength and a big hug (from a horse-mom)
You were not babbling. Thank you for the updates. Best of life for Belle and all your horses, mares and fillies.
Such a pity…she is so beautiful & we all know you have given her all the best care.
Aww Shae, We all love Belle so Much and YOU! You have been an amazing home for her, I cannot even imagine what life could have been like for her and Ezzy in another home…..They landed in Heaven on Earth! You are doing an AMAZING job with her and ALL your horses. We appreciate you keeping us along on this journey, it’s a tough one. There is NO doubt that you are doing the very best by Belle in this situation. Please know you have my utmost respect on this and I am SO proud of your ability to endure for her through this! ((HUGS))
Belle's greatest gift to you was Ezzy.
Belle is absolutely gorgeous. I know you will do right by her. Even though I cry like a baby while you are explaining what’s going with her, I want to hear your updates on sweet sweet Belle❤. She is so lucky to have you as her person❤
