MY LAST RIDE ON THIS MAGNIFICENT STALLION

- Hey Horse Lovers! This week I’m going to be posting a video series on my amazing Equestrian Vacation in Mexico! We stayed at Rancho Las Cascadas, an equestrian boutique resort for horse lovers. We stayed for a total of 8 days. We rode the ranch’s amazing Criollo horses who are bred for endurance and are hardy horses. They handled the terrain so well and they were very sweet & responsive You will also get a tour of the resort, meet some of the horses, and ride along on the trails with us! We had a wrangler for each ride which was very helpful and made the experience even better. This resort is all inclusive and it’s one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever stayed at. I felt safe at all times and also noted that this is a very popular place for solo travelers. In this video you’ll get to meet some Criollo Stallions and come on a long, adventurous ride with us. There is a special surprise in this video and you will love seeing it! This video is packed with thrill, horses, and sight seeing as well. Can’t wait to show you this amazing equestrian experience!!! The sad part is this is my last ride at the ranch and I have to say goodbye to Machete. Don’t forget to subscribe and turn on notifications so you don’t miss the last video of this series. As always Enjoy The Ride. IF YOU ENJOY MY CONTENT SUBSCRIBE!

I haven't been on the back of a horse since I was a young girl. Right now I'm living through you. Thank you for this lovely trip 🐎🐴🐎❤❤
Me to thank you for your post
Of course! 🐎❤️
@@freespiritequestriani love you horses at your home too
What a glorious vacation. So happy for you and Kyle. I hadn't realized how tall he was until y'all stood side-by-side. I'm 4' 7" and my husband was 6' 1". It must have been so nice for you being able to ride and not need to do the grooming, etc afterwards. Again thank you so much for videoing for us while on vacation. ❤️🤗
Haha!! It was so much fun.
Yes, yes!! My dream vacation !! I am so happy that both of you got to experience this together ❤️. I enjoyed these videos so very
much , thank you so much for sharing this with us.
I always enjoy your videos!!so relaxing,some humor,personable,just wonderful!!I love how Kyle supports you too!!
I'll be revisiting this series of videos again. It is a wonderful documentary/travelogue. Loved it!
This looked like so much fun! What an amazing trip! I also love taking a good gallop on a trail 😍
It’s so much fun 🤩
Me too I love to do it when I can it so much fun
❤
Yes, would love that vacation. Last time I galloped as fast as the horse could go was on the beach in Costa Rica in 2004.
I loved riding in Costa Rica! So fun.
HAS TO BE A MIX FOR SURE.. AS A HORSE PERSON MYSELF APPRECIATE.. THE MIX.. AND OF COURSE IT ALL DEPENDS ON THE TRAILS AS WELL.. JUST LOVE THE VIDEOS.. SHAE YOUR SIMPLY AMAZING.. RESPECT TO YOU GIRL.. 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
NEVER.. A RIDE TO LONG.. RIDES ARE NEVER LONG ENOUGH EVER.. 😂😂❤❤❤❤❤
Great Equestrian Vacay, Miss Shae !! Mexico & The Horses Are Incredible !! Thank You For Showing Us This Hidden Gem.
You’re welcome! It was a lovely time.
I had a blast riding with you Shea, what a beautiful place and landscape surrounding the areas you were able to ride. Thank you so much for sharing this glorious vacation. God bless, waving from NC
Awesome! Thank you!
I had no idea a place like this existed. So fun to see!
Right?! So fun!
Galloping looks like the epitome of freedom. I’ve never had the experience but wish I could. As a senior I think I’d be doing well to get on a horse again just for a walk but if no injuries were possible I would love to canter
Oh my!!! What a ride!! Fast is how I would ride on a great horse 🐎 like that!
I'm gonna miss Rancho Las Cascadas!
Same!
You exude respect Shae so I’m not at all surprised that this stallion wants to do whatever makes you happy. Lovely!
Poor Kyle, I think he ate a mountain!
Awww thanks! Yes, poor Kyle 😂
What a great trip. That area of Mexico was just beautiful. So much land to ride on was amazing.
It was amazing 🤩
Poor Kyle he looks so alone as you galloped of into the distance. ❤
😂😂❤️❤️
What an amazing ride. Thank you for taking us along. 😊
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for taking us along on your vacation! To be able to ride in the open fields is amazing. Aswell as the trails 😊 some of the scenery was just beautiful, not what I would have expected, the waterfall was gorgeous. But I really think you should get Machete shipped to your place 😜
Me too! He’s so cool.
Love your channel and first comment I love your horses to ❤️🏇🐴🐎❤️
Yay!
@@freespiritequestrian omg thanks so much for comment your literally such a inspiration to me and literally my idol❤️🐎🐴🏇❤️And happy thanksgiving ❤️❤️❤️❤️
You get what you expect! Machete is magnificent, yes 🤩🤩
I love him! 🐎❤️
Stunning land, such a beautiful place! ❤
When I was your age I loved to gallop the trails, lol! However, now that I'm 56 I prefer to walk with sessions of short lopes. Where we trail ride, it is very hilly and mountains are prevalent. So it doesn't lend itself to galloping at all. We have lots of water to navigate and fun tree lined winding trails. I love walking because it allows me to catch all the sights.
It sounds like you had a wonderful time in Mexico! Maybe on day you'll get a chance to go back! We did a Montana Ranch vacation and loved it. It's always fun to ride horses that aren't your own. I feel you get a lot of valuable experience in doing so! It also makes you miss your own horses a bit more. After all, they are your true partners!
That makes sense! Montana would be amazing.
Hi again SHAE
What a wonderful vacation you've had! A beautiful place all inclusive and you can ride everyday. My kind of place for sure and would so enjoy going there. An interesting breed of horse that you've really had fun with.
A nice getaway for you and Kyle but I know you'll be happy to get back to your horses and home.
Thx as always for sharing but these vids especially. Catcha next time.
Yes it was such a wonderful trip and experience. Thank you!
Shae! It's great that you and Ryan had such a wonderful vacation! I would love to ride along with you. The safety thing is an issue, though. Do the vaqueros carry sidearms in case of trouble? Just sayin'. You will be able to integrate all of your experiences into caring for your own fur babies. Kyle, you did an excellent job as cameraman. And you didn't deserve the dirt snack! Maybe you could wash it away with a couple of beers? Wahoo! 🤠🤠🐎🐎💞
No they do not. They have phones in case someone from the ranch needs to come. Everything is accessible by car as well.
Wife..... Omg this whole trip was so amazing. A definite for my bucket list 😜. I'm so happy that you took us along. Thank you Shae. So glad you had such a great time. At this stage in my life, Im more of a walk, trot, lope rider. I think my running days are behind me 😉. Thanks again Shae for taking us along, it was a really fun video 😃. Want to wish you and Kyle a very Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 and Blessings always ❤️🙌 Jennifer
Thank you! Loping is amazing, and my favorite gait to ride on the trail.
I’m taking some time off riding for awhile cause I’m trying to find a new facility to ride at and your videos make me feel like I’ve never stopped riding. I watch every one of your videos and I love watching you guys ride and keep up with your horses as well.
Thank you!!! So glad you love the videos.
I love getting a good gallop on. Feeling the horse start elongating and that split second of air before you hear the hoof hit. My Arabian would just fly and give a good snort afterwards knowing he was the king lol On a good trail ride I’ve always liked a good mix and could enjoy about anything. You look really nice on Machete and I can see why he was so enjoyable. I’d definitely book an excursion with them. Glad your trip was exceptional and was able to share some of your memories with us! 🌻
Wow that sounds magical!!!
Same here!
This has been incredible! You look so fabulous riding! Love seeing you and Kyle enjoying this time together.
❤️
Greatest adventure on horseback. Wow! Thanks for sharing 😘
Thanks for watching!
Such an amazing experience! I would love to go there! It's been many years since I've been on a horse....but I am sure after a few refresher rides/lessons I would be very comfortable......love to gallop, but would have to work up to it.....canter? Oh yes!!
You would love it!
So sad I loved watching this
❤️
Thank you for sharing! 🐴🐴
❤️
Have a lovely ride Shae & fun .xxx
This whole series of vlogs on this trip were so sooo good! Cant wait to see the herd back home again though! I will miss machete and the others too tho 😊
Thank you! So will I ❤️
Wow! to the best vacation if your life ❣️
So fun!
thank you for a video trip you are exceptional i would love to go there the colors i will watch it again
❤️❤️❤️
Thank for sharing!!! loved it!!!!!
❤️
I ride fast, think i rode too fast, i am now suffering from low back pain. No one told me i was suppose to do back stretches before riding trails. Do you exercise and do Back stretches before you ride? I am picturing me riding right beside you at a gallop. Don't do what i did, eat a Pb& J sandwich while loping.. had fun but almost fell off..I laugh about it now..Its been awesome watching you in Mexico, I have been to Mexico many years ago for vacation before i started riding horses. My partner and I rented horses while in S. Dakota years ago, lots of steep hills there..Love Mexico. Thanks for sharing
Thank you! I go to a chiro and massage therapist regularly ❤️❤️❤️
You make riding a horse seems so easy for a non rider but I do love
Awwww thanks 😊
Great vacation 😃❤
So wonderful 💖
💖🐎
I would almost anything to ride again! I'm 73 and not in the best condition. I Love the way they smell even their poop, lol.. Miss them SO much....
❤️
I want to come too! That looks like so much fun.
I would like to see Kyle on a roan horse again! I really hope you cat get one for him in the near future!
I will FOR sure! Someday I promise ❤️
What a nice vacation to be on with you and learning of different cultures and great food
❤️
So fun, thanks for an exciting video!
Thanks for watching!
Mixed ,all riding is fun ,loved it
❤️
I like a mix, but I do like go fast too👍
Really enjoyed this series. In answer to your questions. Yes, and yes. I would be comfortable visiting and riding there. How did you find out about this place and was it hard to get to.
I just googled places! It was easy to travel there ❤️.
I choose after checking the area out. I love full gallop most.
❤️❤️❤️
Yes if I lived in the USA. But live in the UK and Evan though we have similar things the views are so different. Love your vlogs. ❤
Thank you!
What a fun vacay for you guys! Love it!!!
❤️❤️🐎🐎
I like both. Plus depending on where I'm riding. The park system I walk trot mostly because of people. Cantir or full gallop when no people and real long stretch with little bends.
That makes sense! Sounds similar to my area as well.
I would love to be able to go there, looks so awesome, but I may need refresher training on my riding haven't ridden in years 😞
I can't really ride horses and wouldn't dream of putting my heavy arse on the poor animal; this is why I ride vicariously through you.
❤️❤️❤️
Canter and gallop for sure, when we walked i get off to stretch my legs, when i had horses. had a racehorse mare off the track, ( learning curve😑)that girl had some stride, heehaw
So much fun!
You are truly blessed! Horses are my passion; though I have not been able to ride since C-5 disc ruptured in 2005/surgery. I miss riding so much 😩; but Doctor said no--that would be ill advised. G
I’m so sorry!
@@freespiritequestrian Thank you. I know...the situation really stinks; although I have been tempted to ride anyway...I have not. I had emergency surgery and ended up with cadaver bone in my neck 🙃 but since my doctor (as conveyed to me two weeks later) thought I would be paralyzed from my neck down; I am blessed, God was present--he said, NAY. I am grateful and SO, best that I don't push my luck...still. it breaks my heart.
I too loved to canter when riding; my favorite though was to gallop ...Whooppa!
I had an Arabian 😅The need for speed was always there. I loved all the gaits but because I rode mostly with rookies I didn’t get to go fast when they were with me. BUT when I was by myself I speed was never an issue lol. 😂♥️
That’s so fun! Haha
👍👍
I will say Yes Yes and Yes
Yay!
😍😍
❤️🐎
both
Just came across this this morning. Wow! That looked like a lot of fun! I do have some questions. Was this an all-inclusive package deal? Food and beverages are also included in the price or did you have to pay separately for that? Because I would love to go there.
When Kyle swooped down to be in your camera capture, you could have tied the horse to his neck, a perfect hitching post🤣
Hahahahaha
I would be a bit Nervous tbh, I haven't Cantered or Galopped yet, mostly Walk and a few Trots. It's me thats Green
I know how to Cantor however, my Cantor isn’t great. I am still very heavy while riding.
I love to canter and gallop but I am worried the horse will trip!!
Yes it’s always in the back of my mind
what was the temperature there? since you went in the winter time I am guessing it wasn't horribly hot there like it usually would be...
50 in the early morning-80 during the day.
FIRST
🐴
Yes I'd love to go but are there different skill levels
Of riding ? I couldn't ride like
You and Kyle and company
I haven't been on a horse since I was a young adult
Yes they have walking rides as well ❤️
GET ON IT KYLE.. MOVE OUT.. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
How did you get your horses to behave so well? I know that you are not home but your horses at your house
They are well trained and have a job so they are just super sweet and responsive.
You need to find a way to buy that horse for your husband. I mean it's fair, cause you always find horses you LOVE, he has found a horse he loves and TRUSTS... please try! 🙏
If I could I would!
Getting them through customs can take up to 6 months and I’ve heard horrible stories. Not fair to put the horse through that. Plus he’s not for sale.
Gallop
Have you ever had experience with Standardbreds
Maybe Shae will buy and train one she finds at the sales lot!?!?! 😉🥰😊
LOL!
Yes, and 3 of mine are half standardbred.
@@freespiritequestrian omg ty for the reply I follow you on tik tok and UA-cam and instagram. I just purchased my 15 year old Standardbred I can’t get her to canter what do I do
You n what would have nice no music just the noise of you galloping
I know you are an expert horse woman....but I'm just curious, even with all your experience, do you ever get concerned about filming when you're riding......especially the faster speeds, gallop, etc....just really curious about your thoughts....
Hi! There is always a risk but I’m not looking at the phone when I’m filming I’m looking ahead between the horse’s ears. I am used to riding with one hand so it’s really not that different.
@@freespiritequestrian Thank you! That's what I was thinking, but just in case.....it's always enjoyable watching you ride!
If only….
❤️
Nothing more to me screams red flag than a horse being tied up by the neck with rope, chains connected to the rope and tied to solid concrete. If that horse breaks his neck, we all know who to blame. Big massive red flag.
This is no different than a nylon halter. The chain breaks, it’s actually safe. Just because something is different doesn’t mean it’s bad. Educate yourself.
@@freespiritequestrian equine care college student. Think I’m getting enough education 🤷, enough to know to never tie a horse to anything solid but to tie a safety knot to twine. Even if using a chain, it shouldn’t be clipped/tied to anything solid. Nylon halters (applies to rope halters too) also do not break very easily (why should never be used in trailers etc but to use leather breakaways in situations that require halters to easily break if needed), and if tied round the neck or head without a safety knot can risk a broken neck if the horse freaks out and pulls too hard. Not a good comparison.
I have no problem with this being round the neck entirely. It’s the fact it’s connected to solid concrete while being round the neck, if it was a safety knot or clipped to something that will break if that force put onto it..sure, okay I can get behind that. I have no doubt that the neck will break before that chain, which is metal. A tug of a horse will not break it. Thought it was common sense to never tie a horse to anything solid.🤷🤷
Sorry if I sound at all harsh, I do not mean to come off that way, I just tend to when I’m being serious but that does not look a safe way to tie a horse up. If you’re going to do that, safer to use twine and a safety knot. A horses safety is more important 🤷, this to me does not scream safe at all. Seen horses tied up by a nylon halter, up to something solid, freaked out and was yanking around. Couldn’t get free, fell and was basically hanging cause it got stuck and the halter did.not.break. The neck was stretched up to what it was tied to as it fell and couldn’t get back up. No doubt the neck was injured. No safety knot to release with the added pressure. Nata. Even if the chain breaks, you still do not clip it to solid things.
Nylon is one of the most unbreakable materials used for halters, by the way.🤷
A horses neck is also fragile so🤷 that’s why literally anyone with common sense will not tie or lead a horse by their neck.
@@TheNutters768 that’s why I’m referring to Nylon, it doesn’t break. So many people tie their horses to Nylon. I agree it could be tied to something that will break, I always do this myself. I was more so referring to the chain.
@@freespiritequestrian Ah makes sense. I don’t really see how a chain would break unless you mean the clip that’s used to attach it to the concrete. 🤔
@@TheNutters768 yes that’s what I’m referring to :).
