HEADING TO THE HOLIDAY HORSE AUCTION! 

UPDATE the paint pony found a home! ❤

I'm a junior in high school, my dream is to work with horses one day. It's hard to talk about my dream because people belittle me for it. They tell me I won't make any money or I won't be able to afford a horse. Your videos always inspire me and keep that dream alive inside me. Whenever you go to the auction I'm always taking notes, it's so much fun and such a good adventure. I have been watching you for 2 years now. Thank you for being my rock of encouragement.

Buzz’es Buddy - my heart!! I really like when you share your thoughts and experiences. I think many can learn from it. I am glad that at these horse auctions there aren’t really horses in a rough shape. The other horse you saw at the other auction - it would have been right my alley! Also the gaited smaller Paint Horse. I love gaited horses! 😊 The Haflinger might have been a great lesson horse - but only without health concerns. It’s great they actually call out concerns in the ring.

That little yearling was a beauty. I did love the big palomino as well.

Do you ever watch Horse Shelter Heroes on RU-vid? Just last week they rescued 14 Belgians at the auction. They seem to come across the drafts a lot in TN.

First I love buzzes buddy and second I go for color your not alone

I hear WI has some equine markets 🤭. Did I say that? My best Urkle lol. I’m glad you show your viewers the importance of looking at teeth. Dental 🦷 is an important part of their well being just like humans. Congrats on the new saddle! Beautiful colors. Hope you have a wonderful holiday season!

I know a lot about horses but you somehow teach me something new everyday ❤

🤣🤣🤣 colour snob ... i get it. My dream horse is a buckskin quarterhorse... i now have 2 bays... never wanted a bay or chestnut. But they will be with me for life

Thank You Very Much for answering some questions that I was wondering about thank you very much miss Shea God Bless You

In love with the feisty filly!!!

That girl that was riding the haflinger was spurring the little sweetheart!😧🚩

Well that was a blast, thank you for taking us viewers along. Merry Christmas to you ( your husband and family) & all your horse lover viewers. 🐎

Love seeing the auction videos. You used a term I've not heard and hope I'm saying it correctly. Hollowed out. Will you please explain for me? Thanks Shae.

Shae! If Buzz's friend is at another sale . . . will you buy him? P L E A S E ! Merry Christmas to you, Ryan, each and every horse, plus your helpers and students! 🤠💖🌲

Ready for more auctions so fun to watch and this helps me understand what I like too lol I’m hoping to get a trail horse someday 😊

I had a varnish Appy for 35 years…I got her when I was 7.

This video is SO important and crucial. The videos where you buy horses are heart-warming and feel-good and I love them. But the videos where you DON'T also model something very important in horse-care. (I'm preaching to the choir here, but this is more for the people who have trouble understanding your decision regarding Buzz's buddy.) Sometimes, loving and caring for horses means NOT buying them. It means respecting the commitments you've already made to the horses you've bought previously (or respecting the gravity of the commitment by not making it before you're ready). It means evaluating your resources in a realistic way. Caring for and rehabilitating horses is, ironically, about choosing NOT to buy/rehabilitate most of the horses you meet. Even when it's hard and it hurts, as it did with this pony. Thank you for posting about this openly and being so principled. You're setting a great example of responsible horse-care!

Merry Christmas!!!🎄 🐴

Shae, I don’t remember hearing how you liked your heated vest. I have thought about getting one for a friend of mine. ❤❤❤ the saddle, lovely.

Thanks for taking us to another auction, I always have fun looking along with you 😆, but when I saw buzz’s little buddy still there ugh 🥺. The pali was gorgeous! And I loved the white one that was in the outer pens, I’m a sucker for white animals, I used to have a white horse who was a paint, appy, qh cross. He was named Casper ❤ Looking forward to your next video! Btw, I loved loved loved the saddle you bought!!

i know who bought the white qh gelding he bought him after the sale and now he might be mine!!

I’ve never owned a bay or chestnut. I like color too. The saddle is beautiful and the kids will love it. Merry Christmas to you and all your family (Human and 4 legged).♥️🎄☃️😊💚

Oh no really ! Buzzys little Friend 🐎 !

Hi Shae, love the saddle. I also t loved the Arabian yearling. I have a soft spot for Arabians, even though they are high strung. I fell in love with that Palomino. That paint was a cutie too. I hope Buzz’s Buddy finds a forever home. I think it’s important that when you decide something you stick to it. It better then being wishy washy. I’d end up being an animal hoarder if I didn’t control myself🤓Merry Christmas to you guys🎄🎁❄️❄️❄️

I understand why you won't buy Buzz's pony friend, you've explained your reasoning several times and I respect your decision. Also, Buzz has a new family and new friends. His old friend would be a distraction he doesn't need if he is to become the pony you know he can be. He'd depend on his friend and not you or his new friends. Does that make sense?

I could not have left Buzz's friend there.

Sometimes gated horses are not forward Movers and they can make great beginner Rider horses or extra horses. A horse that's not too mutton withered and thick through the back where the saddle slips. A Rocky Mountain and other gated just not a hot horse.

That saddle is really cute!

Buy buzzes friend !

So much better, maybe a little hand sanitizer in your pocket and if you have to go in the mouth you sanitize and maybe wash your hands or something. Very nice. And you look great. Wash your hands with a bottled water. Nice video thank you

favourite videos!

Got a question for you Shae - when you sell your horses do you sell them with a “right of first refusal” if they want to sell them in the future?

I'm thinking about going to the Shipshewana auction to see and experience those types of things

Yes they do go to horse slaughter often. Two of my horses came from a legit slaughter lot, one only hours from shipping. He is a 4 yr old beautiful blanket app. I know for a fact that this lot travels all over the us weekly buying up horses at auctions for slaughter and ships horses to Mexico weekly. His next load goes out tomorrow night

It’s ok you don’t have to like every horse breed

It's OK to be a "color snob." We all have preferences. Color can be associated with a breed, such as Appaloosa or Morgan, and then the selection becomes a breed and not necessarily on color. Personally, I won't own a bay because the last bay I had didn't end well and I don't want a reminder. He was a color and a breed because he was purebred Morgan. I still like Morgans only no bays. Selection is entirely up to the owner. Your preference for Appies - is it color or breed or both?

All the horses are like WHY CAN I SEE MY BREATH NAAAAAAAAA

It did seem like they had better horses this time.

Buy him they can pull a cart together ❤️ 😊

I am a color snob too. 🤷‍♀️😹

bays are the prettiest easiest horses tho

NOOO, I wanted you to bring back Buzz' friend....

You're so mean buzz couldn't be so happy his little friend came back for him

So why dont you let your hubby look and buy one

I think you should have bought the other pony. Very mean not to.

Please get buzz’s friend. I will cashapp you the money. I swear.

It's too bad that you're so against bays sorrels etc You were turning down. The absolutely wonderful horses purely for color. I find that really disgusting. Yes, we all have our favorite colors. But to dismiss a horse. Purely on its color, I just don't understand that. to me it means you're not serious about this. You're just looking for a quick buck on a flashy horse.

I like the auction videos and seeing the different breeds of horses and I love it when you give us info on what to look out for when buying horses 😸😸😸

I love your channel and your horse auction videos!♥️♥️ Your horses are lucky to have you!!

I love all your videos and I love how you always let us know what to look for if buying and auction horse hopefully one day I can come ride at you program I live only like and hour and a half away ❤

These are by far my favorite videos to see from you! Auction videos are how I found your channel and I love vicariously living my life through you 😂

Love being able to see all the horses and listen to your comments. My heart sank when I saw Buzz's buddy, but I understand why you didn't get him. Poor fella. I'm sure he misses Buzz. Look forward to your next video. Merry Christmas!

The horses aren't friiendly at this sale. You must buy Buzz's buddy, PLEASE

G'day. I must give you a + for persistance. I hear you say HIII to nearly every horse and not ONE has answered. I reckon i'll just have to keep watchin every vid and maybe One day eh. What do you reckon mate? 😮😮😮

Buzz's old friend!!!!!!

I look so forward to your vlogs. Thanks for all your and Kyle’s efforts, and each of your precious horse buddy’s. Lots of scratches, neck hugs and sweet voice expressions to your animal friends. 😊 👋🏻🧑‍🦳🎄

I hate that you judge based off of color. I know it sounds a bit selfish or snobby, but color doesn’t matter. What truly matters is their personality and attitude. Not color.

I love going to auctions with you .. cute saddle too. 😊

You inspired me to start a RU-vid channel thank you

Such higher end auctions will also ward off meat buyers. In the less "classy" sales, meat buyers and horses going for meat is a really big reality. 😐

I always heard there isn’t a bad color for a good horse.

Thank you for clarifying the no-sale and lo-sale possibilities. I really learn a lot from your coverage of these trips.

I would have bought the pony.

you play the game i donte belive you

OMG HII❤ SO EXCITED TO WATCH I WISH I LIVED NEAR YOU SO I COULD TAKE LESSONS❤❤

That girl riding the Arab mare was pulling on her mouth like crazy that poor horse

I have never been to a sale where going from horse to horse touching or going into the stall without the seller was allowed...?

It’s so great to get to see th auction with you. I was a color snob too…then found my bay heart horse! 😂😂😂❤❤❤

All stressed, taken from home…..and they know.

Your statement about loving color reminded me of grandpa. He used to say horses with unusual color were “lit up”….. meaning “that little spotted horse is sure lit up…..lots of chrome right there”!

Buy Buzzys friend… lol

That's okay you don't like bays or sorrels, the more for me!! LOVE nothing more than a dirt-colored horse, the less color the better 😆

I don’t like how the girl was yanking the reins on the poor Arab 😢

you are player

Can’t wait to watch this lol ever time my phone rings I see your videos 🤍🤍🤍 wait omg the sadddle ahhhhhhhhhh

I was born Horse Crazy and look into their eyes and feel what they are thinking. I'm in Washington State and here I would have to pay $30 just to go riding. I wish you 2 needed a cheap Work Handcuz I work just to be around the horses. My dream was to be around them all my life. Thanks for what you do for them. Are you going to find your Hubby a horse soon? Your doing a great job ❤. With a place to stay I would volunteer for brushing and stall duty. Jheri S.

Nothing wrong with being a "color snob". I totally agree. I love the paint horses, all of them. Whether you call them paint, pinto, piebald, gypsy, or whatever, they are so beautiful.

Im the total opposite, I’m team bays for days and don’t really like colored horses 😅My mare is the definition of what I like, blood bay without any markings!!!! That what’s great about horses, there’s something for everyone!

Merry Christmas and to you and yours a happy blessed new year ! Can't wait to see your new saddle on buzz 🐎

Lipicaner is from Lipik in Croatia not from Slovenia. Reed ....

Could you explain when you say a horse looks metabolic? Could you explain what to look for?

Every girls Christmas dream! A pony for Christmas I know I asked every year for one til I finally got one when I was 15 yrs old, a looooong time ago but we won't talk about that lol

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Thanks for all you do.

I hope you get buzz’s buddy. I know it might be better for buzz to grow separately but its quite heartbreaking to see it being left behind :( That buckskin w a little dapple is gorgeous! A personal fave

Who's Buzz? I've been away!

I don't like when they keep saddles and blankets on the horses you can't see horses body condition

Girl i would have bidded on buzz's buddy straight away XD

You know the saying about appaloosa the horse with all the chrome😊

First! Was so pumped when I got this notification! 🐴🤭

i was just wondering, is it better to buy from an auction compared to buying straight from an owner?

It’s funny how I’ve been watching all of these videos. When I was in middle school I rode my aunts horse. She’s like an older sister. We had fun. Now my granddaughter is very fascinated by them. She’s 6. She’s taken a few lessons. These videos give information that we talk about on the phone. Thanks Shae. I’m certain you never thought a 74 yo grandmother would be a fan. It’s really cool.

I love all the auction videos. It is so fun to see all the cute horses.Happy holidays.

That so special if you bough his buddy to bring home

You can take the colors and I will take the bays, all sharing!

Love how you really check the horse for any defects and age x

I want the yearly filly that was after the shetland. My ideal horse.

Buy his friend. He will have a buddy.❤❤.

I don't like bays either. The color is boring 😊

That little saddle is fantastic! Can't wait to see Buzz wearing it!
