There were quite a few horses at this sale. I was interested in a few so we will see what happens. I’ll also be showing you all of the horses, talking about what I see, and sharing some of my thoughts with you. The MAIN question is did I bid on any and did I WIN? Watch to see!

Happy New Year Horse Lovers! I wanted to add that I was sanitizing my hands in-between groups of horses, and that having contact is important when it comes to looking over a horse at auctions, it’s unavoidable if you want to check a horse over, and you should! ❤
Oh, I didn't know that! I am in love with the last mare you looked at. I wish these auctions start on time for you. Sometimes things happen for a reason. I hope she got a good home.
Happy New Year! Shae, you should check out the horse auctions here in mid-Michigan. I've only been to a couple a few years ago in the Mt. Pleasant area but they seemed like they had quite a few horses! Lots of draft types:)
Totally Agree 💯☺️
That happy bc of his age body condition ect wouldnt u say it wouldnt b better 2 provide the hose the last act of kindness?
I absolutly love ur content .. i get a little upset & can literally feel your compassion for theese incredable horses ... as you say though , unfortunately auctions highlight the good and the bad ...
We need to see the reality of horse life ... in amongst the joy ..
😢
This was a tough auction to go to and video. I am glad you are able to share your experiences with us. I had a Shire that was a pasture pet and the biggest, most loving baby I ever had. Followed me around like a dog and was truly a magnificent friend to have. I’ve been keeping my eye out for you for auctions around here 😁 but most have been rescue auctions. If you’re interested in a red Friesian I can send you info. Wishing you a Happy New Year, bursting with fulfilling and exciting opportunities. And remember, if opportunity doesn't knock, build a door! Happy New Year 2023 my friends 🎉💕⛄️
Totally agree. I bet the Shire was beautiful! Happy New Year! 🎊🎈🎆
I agree this was a tough one
Just heart breaking
HAPPY NEW YEAR SHAE, KYLE, AND ALL YOUR FUR BABIES 🎊 What a shame they didn't stick to a schedule, there were a few horses I would like to have seen. But unfortunately that's just the way it goes sometimes. We had Texas Roadhouse for dinner last night too 😋 it was yummy!! Oh well, as you know there will always be more auctions. Keep the Faith Love and Blessings ❤️🙌 Jennifer
Thank you, and happy new year! Yes it was a bummer but everything happens for a reason. ❤️
Man, I was really hoping you'd be able to get that Percheron mare 😥 she was sooo beautiful. That auction was full of stunning horses. These are my favorite videos of yours, thank you for taking us along with you ❤️
Same :( thank you.
Happy New Year! I just found your youtube page. I really enjoy getting to see all the horses at the sales. I have 3 appaloosa horses 2 were rescues and 1 paint. I feel you every time you say you wish you had more money and could save them all.
So glad you found the channel!!
Happy New Year to you and your husband love to see all the auctions that you go to and learn all about certain horses or what is wrong with him I look forward to seeing all the other videos for next year
❤️❄️🐴
I want to say, thank you for being such a responsible horse owner. You are amazing and I truly respect your decisions. Love you girl. Have a very Happy New Year
I love how you take us to the auctions, even though it can be sad. It is also wonderful to know that some of the horses will be blessed (hopefully) with a wonderful new life.🙂
Thank you so much for understanding. It’s such a hard circumstance to explain sometimes.
I learn so much from your videos ❤️❤️
That appaloosa was so sad. I was in tears. Poor baby. For every 1 you buy there will be another and another. They could end up costing you thousands and then having to just put him in a field as he was too sick to ride.
I really wanted him, it just sucks. I was so paranoid about strangles or something too. Plus like you said the thousands going into him. I just rehabbed my appy Prince Charming and it cost thousands so I am not ready for a horse in that condition right now :(.
@@freespiritequestrian yes. I hope the little donkey that looked like he had given up whent to a home just as good as yours
@@-Rose_Thorn- me too 😢
With such unusual markings he probably stood a better chance of staying off the slaughterhouse truck then many others. The rather plain looking bay he was stalled with kept trying to catch your attention it seemed, and though you gave it a bit of respect it seemed like s/he knew he was at a disadvantage.
But I respect your self-discipline.
Loved going to another auction. Thanks Shae & Kyle... Happy New Year!
Happy New Year!
Shae! OMG! That Percheron mare was so special! I wanted her myself! I wonder if they would have thrown in her purple coat?! Wahoo! 🤠🐎💟
I know! She was special ❤️
🎉Happy New Year
🍾🥂 Shae&Kyle 🎊
And to the barn family too..... so glad u know what u r looking for when u r buy a horse ... I said to my husband I would have come home with all them too ... I would feel bad for them too ...Got to love them big draft they gentle giants 😊 I could see u buying that black mare I could see u calling her Bell 😊
Thank you!
Can you pretty please do a video about gaited vs non gaited horses if you haven’t already- I’m sorry I’m still new here!!!
Happy New Year Shae and Kyle!!! Wishing you guys a wonderful year and also to all the Free Spirit 4 legged crew!!!! 🎊🥂🎉🍾🌟
Happy New Year!
I was watching the live stream of the sale yesterday. (I'm in Ohio). That last black mare is one I would have picked also.
So pretty
Happy new year
Happy New Year! 🍾🎆❤️
HAPPY NEW YEAR 🎆🎊🐎💥😁♥️
Happy New Year!
I love seeing all of your auction videos!!!!!
Happy new year shae! I pray for more growth in all of your endeavors but most especially your youtube channel! I am glad to have stumbled upon your channel and oh what a journey it has been ❤
So glad you found the channel!
Hey have you looked into Horse Plus Humane Society? If you were serious about wishing you could rescue more they have programs and grants for approved partners. They will also take any horse in that you get from auctions and provide vetting if you aren’t wanting to keep them yourself. It’s a great organization and possibly a way for you to help these horses with minimal expense to you.
Yes and I don’t involve my horse ownership with 3rd parties. It’s great for some but not for me. My horses are my horses and my personal horses, I won’t even take donations because I don’t want to depend on anyone but myself for my own animals :). I’m happy with how I have everything set up and I have a plan for expansion in the future. ❤️
@@freespiritequestrian Understood. You just mentioned it was hard for you to pass them up and I thought this might be a way for you to be able to help them without the financial burden. But I understand everyone has their priorities
@@oldageisdumb I know and you are so sweet for mentioning that. I think of all avenues everyday 😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️.
Thank you for doing what you do all the horses do not deserve to be in the condition that they are in .happy new year!
❤️
What is the name of your cameras? I would have thought the same thing. Whoot!!! Not much longer.
Happy new year I love your videos I own a horse of my own❤
Nice!
if i get lots of money i will support you and we can buy all the horses and buy a lot of land and employ people to help look after them xxxx
Hellos, I thought I’d share something about drafts you may not know. FYI, I purchased one of my horses, my first draft, a 4 year old Clydesdale mare, in Shipshewanna, IN in the early 90s. I still have her 2 half draft offspring so I have a bit of experience with drafts over the years.
I began riding in the early 70s and taught for many years. Unfortunately, I now have some health issues which limit my mobility, but we still have our last 3 horses who will be 18, 20, and 28 this year. We live in northern lower Michigan.
So FYI… I’m not trying to be annoying, but I wanted to share that the term for the hair on a draft’s lower leg is actually “feather” singular, not “feathers” plural. Lots of people get that wrong, but it’s a tell for folks who might be trying to sell you a horse that you have little or no draft experience.
I will add that drafts are typically AMAZINGLY soft gaited and usually easy to train. My Clyde mare was 4 when I bought her and though she was trained to drive single, she hadn’t been ridden except a few times when the owner lead their 9 year old around on her bareback. It took me less than a month to teach her to be trustworthy on trail rides, and most of the basics of dressage. My husband says they are like riding a heated couch. 😁
Oh! One more draft thing. Clydesdales usually are built a bit narrower through the front and tend to have more prominent withers so fitting a saddle is much easier.
Finally, there is a big draft horse show called Michigan Great Lakes International held at Michigan State University in East Lansing in October every year. If you’re not in a huge hurry to buy a draft, it’s a great place to go learn about them. Draft horse folks are SUPER friendly and helpful. I found my Clydesdale mare by printing up a wanted ad and posting it and handing it out all over at that show. It was very early in the days of internet, so there weren’t many online resources then. I met so many wonderful folks via drafts!
And again, not trying to be pushy correcting you. I had someone educate me about feather or I’d have never known either.
Not sure why you assume that I haven’t owned drafts before. I own one now and I also have Gypsy Vanners and I’m aware it’s feather, but I don’t really care because that whole thing is ridiculous lol. I own draft horses too. No horses, regardless of breed, have the same saddle fitting tendency they are all individuals and that’s a huge misunderstanding among people. They assume because of the breed that most horses can go in the same saddle or have a similar build. They don’t. I’m a professional, certified saddle fitter and that’s one of the most common issues I come across.
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year!
Love the vids keep up the good work ❤
Thanks!
I wish I could save at least one, I can’t even save a seat on the couch
Happy new year girl!
Happy New Year!
There was a lot of big buts there 😂😆
Yes lol 😂
Happy new year love ur vids
Thank you, happy new year!
if i could do anything with my life it would be opening a sanctuary and then going to actions and buying all the sad skinny ponys and help them
💖💖💖
So if i ask wen it it winter at your country
Love your videos🐎🐎🐎
❤️
He has been going form auction to auction
Heading to Mexico or Canada
So sad
The horses look sick 2 me. And it makes me cry 😭. Because I love horses..
I hayt houw some pipole tereris horses
You are in Amish country, they have a reputation of treating their animals poorly. It’s sad. Many horses on rescue or rehab shows are previously Amish owned.
I love your assessment of the horses you see. And I get you can’t bid on all of them. However, you present much ado about nothing. I mean most of your subscribers want to see adoptions! Great that you care so much about what you are seeing, but you rarely bid and as a representative of a horse auction rescue/bidder, it’s disappointing that you talk all the horses up, but so few are actually purchased. It’s like a long infomercial.
I AM NOT a rescue!!!!! And I do NOT ADOPT horses, I purchase them. I am a one woman show, and I am not a large organization. I am taking you on my journey and showing my personal experiences. I’m not going to just buy to buy. You don’t understand what I do and that’s evident.
She does NOT present herself to be a rescuer, it would behoove you to pay attention.
The thought that these beautiful souls have been abused and neglected and will in many cases end up being slaughtered is just a crime. I can't ever watch this again. Too horrible.
It’s very sad.
poor horses!
❤️
I was dis appointed you did not dedicate 2023 to a Horse that was truly in need and deserved of a major save .
Did you watch the whole video? I literally couldn’t get anything, the auction started to late. Also, I wasn’t looking for a rescue for all the reasons I stated in the video.
OHIO 😅 lol
What? Lol
@@freespiritequestrian in Ohio that's where the setting of the video...??? I don't blame you if you don't understand ☺ it's a meme.
I love how kind you are it's so sad to see the lack of respect so many horses recieve from often neglectful owners my heart goes out to them
Thank you, yes it’s heart breaking.
I agree. No animal should be discarded like this. It is sinful!!!!!
So much suffering. My daughter's mare got old and sore. The last thing she ever felt in this world was a needle stick. I have never sent a horse down the road like this. So many of them need veterinary care; so many of them will be hanging upside down stable to table style. Humans Suck
I agree with you.
I’ve been horseback riding for a couple of years now and I’m finally looking into options for my own horse. Your videos have been so helpful and informative! I really appreciate the information, even when it can be hard. I hope the New Year brings you lots of success so you can take on more of these horses! 🎉
I’m so glad! Thank you so much. ❤️
Realize it is a 365 day job before you buy.
Happy New Year to Shae and Kyle, to all of your horses and to everyone who reads this comment!
Thank you! Happy New Year!
that Clydesdale during the unloading part was so heartbreaking I saw that their leg was bleeding and one of it's back legs had a chunk taken out of it
The Belgian? Yes, it was.
Yeah I saw that too so sad to see on such a Pretty horse
Could you put the time stamp
Never mind. I saw. That is the most awful thing, the owners could have atleast cleaned it up and bandage it or something! Poor Belgian. No horse deserves that. I wish I could save every horse ever! 😭
Miss Shae: Why are people allowed to mistreat some of these animals and sell them like they are nothing? These animals are Soul like we humans. You treat these animals with caring, love and respect. It is difficult to watch these horses at auction but you are educating us. Thank you and bless you for your work.
I don't get it either. When dogs are treated this way then the owner loses custody and the animal is taken to a shelter, but somehow these horses are allowed to be sold for money. I don't get it.
Happy New Year Shae and Kyle. Thanks for bringing us along to the sale with you. I have learned so much about looking over horses at an auction from you. I felt so bad for that beautiful Appy he/she was so sick. I love the paints and the Buckskins also. The black horse that looked like maybe a Percheron/Fresian cross was gorgeous as well. But things just didn't line up for you to maybe take one home. I pray they got a good home. I love the way that you are so selective and really look a horse over before buying. You have definitely taught me not to just jump and buy the first horse that catches my eye. Love Free Spirit and love your videos. Your the greatest❤🐴
Thank you for this heartfelt comment! Truly appreciate your kind words. ❤️
A huge happy new year to you and everyone at Free Spirit Equestrian! I'm excited for what the new year brings. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us!
You’re so welcome!
The appy at the beginning was so heartbreaking. I admire you for having the strength to witness the struggles the horses are going through in person. It must be absolutely heartbreaking for you but it must also give you the resolve to keep doing what you do as well.
I know it was really tough. Thank you.
@@freespiritequestrian I hope you take care of yourself after seeing all the struggling horses! You deserve a spa day!
I’m not crying, YOU’RE crying 😭😭 that horse broke my heart
Happy New Year! There is a horse rescue (HorsePlus) in Tennessee. They primarily rescue horses from the slaughter pipeline. But auctions like these are where some of the horses in the slaughter pipeline start. Perhaps reaching out to them or another horse rescue to see how you can help might be an option. ❤️
I know, I don’t associate horse ownership with 3rd parties though. They are all my personal horses. I’m my own entity :)
Don't get me wrong, you do a great job rescuing and rehabilitating horses, and I appreciate all of your efforts!
❣💯 That No. 438 Percheron / Friesian Cross was really cool! The view was better of the horses unloading and being ridden into the auction stables. Was heartsick over the very sick Appy and Bay in the beginning. My family raised Appys and they were always robust.
You just have to wonder what happened. I think people should have to have a certification or license to buy a horse just like a car. Maybe a vet in the audience will adopt the sick Appy and Bay together and quarantine them together.
Maybe they can go to a sanctuary horse yard and be restored to good health. Thanks, Kyle, for explaining about the delays from selling trinkets and stuff. They don't realize how far you have to drive or don't care.
Yep I totally agree ❤️
Thanks Shae. It’s probably just me, but I find auction videos hard to watch. That poor little mule looked so sad and broken. I’m glad you don’t just buy for buying sake though. Happy new year to you and Kyle xxx
It is hard! I agree.
No it's not just you. Anyone w a heart would be heart broken
Thank you for what you do!
Greetings from Finland and Happy new year! I find these auction videos interesting because they are not really a thing in Finland. It's always tough to see so many horses in bad shape but im happy that you are able to give even some of them a new start in life.
I agree with you.
It would be a happy New year if some of them people we're getting prosecuted for letting horses get into such sad conditions they should never be allowed to own animals
So sad right :(
Oh noooooooo am I the only one who saw the wound on the drafts hoof while unloading?
I guess that’s why we have shipping boots:(
It was pretty noticeable, so sad :/
Thank you for taking your viewers along. :) I am so grateful to you, that you would buy at auction, but most likely never sell. :) 🐎
Thank you. I do sell my horses though. After spending 1-5 years getting them educated and loving them I find them a new home. But I would never sell at an auction! ❤️
I found your channel in the last couple days. Really enjoy seeing the auctions and following the horses you bring home. You are such a caring person. More please! Love from Oregon.
Yay I’m so glad!!!! Thanks for watching, I’m glad you discovered the channel.
Happy new year to you and Kyle. Another great video Shae, although sad at times seeing some of the horses in such poor condition.
Agreed :/
Happy New years. All. Can you please explain what a gaited horse is versus a nongaited. Thank you from a newbie
Happy New Year! 'Gaited' refers to specific horse breeds that have adopted a unique way of going other than a walk, trot, canter, and gallop. This altered gait may have been artificially developed or naturally present from birth.
The horses did not seem easy to see. I would imagine that people who brought horses to sell were not happy. I bet lots of the horse buyers left.
I absolutely love that Frisian looking one 🥰 both the one in purple blanket and the other one
So pretty 🤩
All of the animals are so cute! I recently visited an island where there were SO many wild animals. Dogs, cats, chickens, and even cows! I just wanted to adopt them all.
I would want to do the same!
I've never owned a horse, and probably never will. But I enjoy watching your channel and appropriate the education you give. I grew up on a beef farm, so different than horses. It would be so hard for me to see all the horses that need so much TLC. Your self control and discipline must be great. Thanks for great content.
Thank you so much!
To see all the neglected, abused horses being auctioned can anger you whilst pouring your heart out to these horses. Obviously you cannot rescue all of them but I quietly call Animal Rescue that are close by for these horses.
Shae you do such an absolutely amazing job teaching viewers and bringing awareness I love watching both of you go to the auctions.
I’m so glad there aren’t really auctions in Australia, most horses are advertised online through Facebook etc. You are such an inspiration to me!! I hope to be like you some day! Hope you have a happy new year and I can’t wait for what 2023 will bring💙💙💙
Thank you!
Unless there's been a radical change in the last 20 years, there are horse sales in Australia. I stopped going as they were a bit distressing. There were a few ridden horses but most were just herded in. Most went to pet meat buyers.
happy new year to you both. love your channel.
❤️❤️❤️
I enjoy watching your channel. You are very knowledgeable and kind with the horses. It's sad to see all the horses that need a good home but you can't save all of them. I think that must be tough when you want to save more horses and you only have so much time and room. You do a great job.
Thank you!
I know I'd want to save all of them. These sweet animals deserve SO much better
If you want a draft horse go to the Hoovers draft sale with over 450 in Kentucky
Thanks!
Your input and information is always so helpful. Like you I would want to rescue all of them!
Yes! Thank you 😊
Do you live in Ontario Canada by any chance?
No, Michigan ❤️
Happy New Year!!! I saw a lot of horses needing rescue, medical care, food and hoof care. But there were some really healthy horses there too that a person could tell were being taken care of. All of the little mini's are heart melting cute. This rings in the new year to 2023!!!
Yes, some were needing help for sure. Makes me sad. The mini’s were adorable though! Happy new year 🎆
Happy New Year to you both, the right horse will definitely come along for you Shae, looking forward to watching your videos in 2023, tfs x Julie 🇬🇧
Thank you!
I so want that first Horse... and I LOVE gated Horses!!...and the Paint @10:50 looks amazing 2!!!
❤️
Shae I adore your videos, your approach to horsemanship and stewardship is responsible and beautiful and I can't get enough - thank you so much for sharing and educating! Would you consider doing a video on how to age horses by their teeth? I've always wanted to understand more about that after an experience as a teenager where I was sold a 9-year-old who was actually 20+ years old. She was retired to pasture with us when the time came, I wouldn't have it any other way. I moved to the city in my early 20s and so my inner horse girl lives vicariously through your videos lol - but I would still be excited to learn about aging horses by teeth! Much love from Australia xo
Yes this is very hard to watch a horse in so much pain .
It’s tough
Nice to see a couple that are actively on the same page. I couldn't imagine how taxing dragging an unwilling partner around.
Lol! I wouldn’t have one that wasn’t supportive. It’s definitely a lifestyle and a partnership. He’s the best! ❤️
Right!! Imagine having a partner who actively dislikes or is uninterested in animals. That would be such a bummer to me.
@@lavenderwyvern absolutely true. I knew a couple 15yrs ago. I was shocked at the time. She didn't like dogs and made him give his beloved pet dog up. I also couldn't believe he did. If i remember they did split. So lesson for us all there.
I once took 5 children and their ponies to a nursing home and put on a show. There was a small circular lawn, two buildings of elderly patients and chairs placed outside for them. It was a lovely, sunny, summer day. My daughter (age 12) rode side saddle with appropriate costume, and the other children 21:42 in riding boots, jodhpurs and helmets. I narrated. The kids and ponies were introduced and rode around and over a small jump and the patients sat stony faced and watched. Afterward, I asked a woman I knew if the patients enjoyed it because I couldn’t tell. She said “Oh yes, it was wonderful!” Very old people’s faces can look stony because everything has “fallen”. I recommend children and their mounts go to nursing homes. Just an animal that enjoys being petted brings joy to patients who have so little to feel joyous about.
We went to a Pony Club event once and slept in a horse trailer with another family. We took our children to the National Welsh Pony show. Our ponies were housed in gorgeous stalls in a magnificent barn. We lived in the former cattle truck with manure plastered walls. We bought it to get to the show. It is a wonderful, somewhat amusing memory that I treasure. Our children, riding in the show, were 11 and 12.
There's a sickness donkeys get, I'm not sure if you're familiar with it, I also don't remember the name of it. They can be fine one moment and sick the next. Once it sets in, there's nothing that can be done. Chances arw that little donkey was dead by the end of the day. It is so incredibly sad.
I live like 5 minutes away from that auction and i saw you there!!!
Nice!!!
Happy New Year to you and Kyle, Shae! I hope 2023 brings more fabulous videos from Free Spirit Equestrian because they’re the best! 😊❤
Happy New Year!
The one draft coming out of the trailer had a bad injury maybe from in the trailer. The injury was on the back left leg near the hoof it was just blood all over. I just feel so bad for all those horses and want to make sure the health of these animals is in good condition.
Yes, I saw that immediately.
😂🤣😂 Sneak around where the cows are...
Shea fully sounds like she was on a mission. but it was worth it. That draft was stunning.
Great camera work Kyle
That one pony’s halter was too small-his nose was swollen! Don’t they have some sort of vet/official to make sure these issues are fixed? I think they do in UK….
I didn't think much of gaited at one time, but back surgery changed my mind. Ive had nothing but gaited for over 40 years. I've done mostly trail riding and some herding with my horses or a bit of driving. They've jumped over logs, water ditches, swam, rode rough ground with no hesitation or misstep. Mostly I had Tennesse Walkers with the exception of a Fox Trotter / Quarter Horse cross. My ga I ted horses dud everything I ever did on a Quarter Horse, Grade Horse or Saddlebred. I've said all of this to ask, "Why you don't have some in your string for people that could learn to ride on a horse if they could ride a smooth horse rather than the jarring of most 3 gaited?"
Hey! I’m from uk so don’t really know much about the American equestrian ‘community’
I personally don’t agree with big auctions like this one due to the fact that so many horses look sad and quite a few are underweight. Also it’s very sad to see moments like 20:22. That horse had severe injuries to its left hind leg and bum and so many people just watch on. In the uk there isn’t many sales like this so it’s just a little disheartening to see so many unhappy and injured horses been sold there. *No hate toward you, I love your channel!!*
I completely agree with you. I don’t love this either but I do love being able to help horses and pull them from these auctions when I can.
@@freespiritequestrian Yeah, it was be so awful having to say no a lot to purchasing the sad/ underweight horses. Keep up your great work! Love your videos!!
Oh yes, a sweet Percheron mare could fit nicely into a happy home.
Breaks my heart to see the horse I'm pain
Yes :(
This video acted up toward the end. There were color squares which made it hard to see the horses and you. Saw many I liked though I haven't a place for them or more important, no money. But I do like your videos. God bless
Hello! At 7:00 you said the equine was a "mini mule." I don't know if it said that on a sign, but it looks more like a hinny, which is a stud x jenny.
Happy New Year, very very educational yet sad. If zoning would allow people to have horses on a small lot there would be less horses in need.
Happy New Year!
Hi Lynne, and creators too! I bet you are on to something there about the zoning restrictions. Urban sprawl, the subdividing of farmland making what used to be normal ( a pasture with a few horses, and a small barn, is turned into the exception, and eventually made illegal. Then there’s some goof driving an ev coming by every two weeks to see if your ‘lawn’ needs ‘mowing’ ready to impose a fine if you ain’t got a five thousand dollar riding lawnmower in the Quonset.
The poor darlings at these auctions are a national tragedy. I live in Canada and we don’t hardly have our act together any better than the USA, but I just want to say lots of love and respect to people who can build compassion and care for these horses and other abused animals into their lives.
From Jen in Winnipeg day 2/2023
Does anyone know if the winning bid amount was shared? I'm just curious as i'm from the North East and they don't do auctions like this around here so i'll never get to experience being involved in any of that but i am pretty sure my half draft cross was an amish horse, is about the same age, and prob was bought at an auction prior to the sale to me.thanks for any feedback 🤠
What did you rename nacho? I never caught the video that said you were you bought nacho but you were going to rename him, so what did you name him? Kyle is such a nice quiet patient man thank God you have them some men might not be so patient.
I feel so sorry for those horses, how people treat them, i think alot of those beautiful horses will go for meat because nobody wants them its so very very sad😥😥😥
I was so sad when a big draft came out of the trailer and his/her back leg was bleeding😢
I don’t think I could ever go to a auction my heart would break and i would be in tears these horses need help
What do you mean when you say a horse is metabolic? More than overweight?
