HUGE DRAFT HORSE AUCTON with over 650 horses! 

***EDIT*** the clip where I say they are stocks for trimming horses is actually a cattle chute but is similar to stocks and I was using that clip as an example. When I was editing I thought I explained it then realized I didn’t clarify. Basically it’s a design to hold animals in place.

The great thing about these auctions is that these horses are being bought by people that want them and are prepared to pay the price. Hopefully they will have a long forever home with the owners. 🐴💜🐴💜🇦🇺🇦🇺

These auction videos are my favorite! They are so educational and real 🫶🏻

I love your brutal honesty Shae... you're so rare for RU-vid lol I love it!

You need more followers I have been watching for 3 years hopefully you can do more videos like this:)❤️

Oh the dapple gray you had your eye on was a *dream*! Beautiful trot, beautiful color, beautiful personality. This one didn't have as many sad cases but still the mare with the skin issue. :( Poor baby. I wish people wouldn't just pass along their problems to the next owner and instead address them/fix them before selling but that can be said for literally anything that is bought/sold, not just horses. Fingers crossed for a big dapple gray in your next auction visit!!

My 2nd horse was a draft mix. Got her in '72 for $50 at auction. She was part of a bucking string that refused to buck. Sweetest thing ever. Drafts hold a sweet spot in my heart to this day. Would love another one. 541 was gorgeous as were a couple of the all white ones. White would do much better in our desert heat.

Oh neat. I just asked if you like tall horses. I LOVE them. I love 191 Dappled Grey but i didnt care for his movement. My fav is the Friesian Percheron. Great price. I love the little Appy Gypsy cross with real nice confirmation. Love the frisky Friesian 💘

I ❤ your confidence around horses you don't know. Omg I get such anxiety at horse and cow sales. I want all of them, especially at sales where animals have been neglected in Australia.The ❤ this lady has for horses, and all animals is such a wonderful thing. Life care for a horse is expensive,some people think you can get a horse put it in grass field and that's that. Nope, a lot of work,love, and compassion goes into raising a great horse.

Saddle in my garage collecting dust and your videos, making me want a big old draft horse again! ❤

That dappled gray… 🥹 the way he interacted with you and the look in his eye… wow.. ❤

Wow! The big grey was a hunk. ❤ him. I am 5’9 and when riding in my youth, I was 200lbs . I used to say how fat I was and my friends always said no you are not…I proved that I have a skinny personality. Thanks for another great video.

Wow that Dapple fetched a good price, 10,000 dollars!....he was My pick...Thank you for taking us along to another auction...they are fascinating places to be unless of course you're a horse, then they must be terrifying!.....once again an interesting insight into the world of the auction ...🐎

I have watch this several times Loved it. It's seem like a good well lo😊ok after horses, no kill buyers , thank God

As a former horse owner I love horses and been to auction a few times . But I respect the way you go to these auctions knowing what you want. It takes a tough decision to leave with nothing knowing there’s one you really like. .But thinking about your business makes me respect you more. . Wishing you success and hope you find what your looking for

Thoroughly enjoyable and educational! Your knowledge and love of horses/ponies and how you communicate with them is so impressive!!! You Rock!!

I've always been a big fan of the stocky, short horses which leaves much less room to the ground if I were to fall. As always, I absolutely loved going along with you to the auction!

Some really beautiful horses for sure! The dapple gray was gorgeous❤

Love going to the auctions with you. You know how to choose a quality horse and that is so interesting. It was so nice meeting your beautiful daughter. So much like you. Better luck at the next auction and don't forget to take us along. Thank you for all the great videos.

Just love these auction videos, I learn so much by your comments on inspections of the horses. You really need to know about some medical history to buy a good horse. Just love your entire process as you go through each horse & point out all the details of concern. 1 thing I can't understand the auctioneer, it is almost like a foreign language, as he rambling on. So glad you know your stuff, a great businesswomen. You are a rare gem. This is an old video, but I enjoy watching your wonderful quality videos.❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊

Ah, Kalona - one of the best places to pick up a good horse. We would visit there when I was going to KCC. Wish I lived closer. I think horses are high like everything else now. I know they cost a lot to keep, but that's why you want to make sure of what you're getting. Apparently some of these have RU-vid channels where you can check them out on line beforehand, which is good, but there's nothing like being able to see them ridden in person. You do a super job when it comes to selection. 😊

That was fun! Very educational, and you make great videos!

I love your auction videos Shae. Seeing all the wonderful horses through your eyes is a truly educational experience ❤

Wow! That was alot of horses at one auction 😳 It would for sure be tiring trying to keep track of the ones your interested in and going between two bidding arenas. I was quite surprised of the prices that most of these horses went for. But I totally understand you not wanting to pay a high price at an auction. I also made a mistake of reading some of the comments while watching the video and found out before the end that you didn’t get one 🤪, i usually don’t do that 😂 oh well! Can’t wait for the video on the next one! Have a great day 😊

You always have a good eye for horses I enjoy watching all your videos and learning about them

Every single horse there is adorable❤

Three beautiful girls! Ezzy is stunning! Yal are SO blessed! 🐎🐴🌼

One thing about getting a mare with foal is that you get two for the price of one. Hope you find one you liked and took home. Happy trails to you and God bless.

That big bay was extremely interesting. He was very tense in there, I would've loved seeing him trot and canter, he had an exceptional uphill build and what looked like a good freedom of shoulder in that tiny clip. I guess age could be an issue and soundness is always a risk at these kinds of Auctions where horses aren't even vetted. There is just so much you can do to cover up lameness so the caveat emptor principle rules big time. Unfortunately there is only so much you can tell surface wise then it becomes a big blind gambol. Very very cheap at 7500 if he was at least half good as he looked and still a decent age. Huge light and responsive, wow and rather smart to look at with his handsome roman profile. Not having seen him move in the open I could still almost believe he could make a worthy dressage prospect.

Love, love, love Draft Breeds! Love your Auction videos ❤

Thanks for taking us with you 🥰 I have a 10 yr old draft cross, he is out of a Belgian stud and his mom was a arab/paint cross. He is a buttermilk buckskin pinto, I have had him since he was 7 months old. I can't say enough about the gentle and sensible draft deposition. He has a more refined head and is only 15hh. does take after the draty side as far as conformation. He joins my 17 yr old Palomino Morgan mare and Arab gelding who is turning 28 yrs old. They will be with me forever.

Shae, your auction videos are pretty amazing! You do a great job of informing your audience as to the condition of the horses you're looking at and why you might or might not bid on them. Like most of the comments here I've learned quite a bit watching these videos and have a lot of respect for your decision making process. Though, I do admit, if I were in your shoes, I'm not sure I would have your level of restraint. 😂 Also, Kyle is a pretty great guy to drive 14 hours in total and spend 15 hours looking at horses. Seems like you make good choices all around. Looking forward to the next auction videos. 🐴

I always learn so much from you at these auctions! There were some very beautiful horses there! Thanks for taking us with you!

I've been waiting for another horse auction video!I love going to auctions!

Ever since I’ve seen your horse auction transformation shorts, I’ve come to this channel to see how it works ❤

Thanks so much! Loved this vid so much. That fjord cross is literally the prettiest horse I've ever seennnnn. I'm a sucker for color and grullo paints are one of my favs!

I absolutely love going to the auctions with you, I love the general ‘scenario’…. the Amish men conducting the sales, the young riders and even the ‘poop scoopers’, it is a rich environment, one I would NEVER experience. So, from the comfort of my armchair (yes, I’m one of those) I say ‘thankyou’. I have to tell you that I have only been seated on a horse once in my life and that was the sturdy steed of the milkman…. I was 2 years old and I’m 75 now😊. BUT…… on the other hand I grew up with my very own horse, rode her to and from school every day, stabled her in a corner of my bedroom, groomed her and cleaned out those hooves EVERY DAY. I called her Star, she was a Haflinger . I had her in my heart and head for years and my room was full of horsey books and posters. You could say she was my ‘invisible’ friend but anyone who has had an ‘actual’ invisible’ friend will know only too well that there are ‘levels’ of invisibility. So, there we are, my experience with horses😉. I am definitely waiting with bated breath for the day you buy a beautiful Haflinger. Your videos come into homes right around the world and for this viewer they rise my happy memories, so I wish love and happiness with all your endeavours from Belfast, Northern Ireland 😘.

I’m from SE Iowa. Kalona horse prices for specialty auctions generally run high. When they have regular auctions, 3/4 of the horses go for meat prices. They’re one of the main slaughter lines in the US.

5:28 woulda instantly been on my list he is beautiful

Appreciate you taking us with you to the auctions. You explain so well and show how much you have to look at and watch out for when buying a horse. Hope you find one to give a good home and care too at one of these next two auctions. Looking forward to watching.

I love auctions all the ponies and horses are so cute

I love how cautious you are about buying it’s also inspiring to see you do videos like these I’m hoping when I grow up I can rehome aution horses more often!

It is good you are so disciplined. Definitely think it’s good to have an expert like you if you want to purchase from an auction. Love the auction vids!

I really enjoy your auction videos and learn about the different types of horses. They're all so beautiful!

I always enjoy the auctions and learn quite a bit. Thanks.

The Grey ❤❤

love your channel; so informative and entertaining. i'm going back over old videos, learning something new every time and really enjoying your interaction with the horses!

Thank you so much for taking us along with you both! You two are a great team! Love, love your page! Also, I know you like diversity when it comes to riding and horses. I stayed at the Kay El Barr Ranch down in Wickenburg AZ. Historical Ranch is such an adventure to stay at and ride their horses. Thought I would share.

I love that you dont always buy a horse. You really think about it. a lot of youtubers buy so many horses for views and clicks. I respect you so much for not letting views and clicks get in the way of thinking of a horses health more.

3:05 that mare’s neck looks enormous! 😮 I don’t know if it’s just the coloring playing tricks on my eyes but I can’t get over it lol .

Enjoy the auction glad you took us along can't wait to see another one I don't blame you for taking your time thanks again

Thanks for taking the viewers to the auction, you bring out so many nice educating points to look for on the horses. I do hope you make a perchase but don’t let a couple hundred dollars change your mind as the other person bidding puts that value on the horse also. Stay safe

I love this video auctions are so cool!

Ms. Shae.. omg.. Those drafts are so gorgeous. I am sad on how some of them look. From far away, you can't see the issues unless you are up close like you were. My favorite was the big dapple gray. It may be big as I am 5'5".. But I would still take the chance. Drafts are my weaknesses. My dream horses. I just know you will find the perfect horse for the ranch! It just takes time. Look how long it took to find Mushu!

That gray is a keeper. I hope that you get him.When he moved there is a lot of potential there. I am crossing my fingers. He is sweet and kind.

The dapple grey was so stunning! I really love your auction videos - they are so thoughtful. Keeping my thumbs crossed you find the perfect horse to buy! And of course I am looking forward to the upcoming auction videos 😊

Just wanted to tell you that I am really enjoying your videos! I’ve never been to an auction, and it’s so exciting!❤️😊

Oh, I love that spotted draft pregnant mayor all the black and white one ha ha that’s gorgeous. Also love the big bay.

191 was great looking anamal and seemed really friendly i love thease gential giants

You are doing a great job. I can't wait to see her kicking up her heels outside!

Happy day! Can’t wait to see her on your farm!

Thank you for displaying so many of the sale prices

My Bongo was like her. He wanted to gallop everywhere. We found a 3 mile run that was safe and I would let him run full out. That usually settled him. But I lent him out twice. To people who knew how to ride and it was disastrous both times. Unless you are used to that kind of speed it is frightening. And I did not use a bit. I used a hackamore. When other people rode him he rode with a bit. His favorite words were 'Run Bongo run. He did have a good stop though and listened when he had to walk. But he had to get his yayas out! It was part of our deal.

So glade your looking at horse auctions they need homes

Love these!! Thanks Shae!! 🤠 Pulling on the ❤️ strings at any auction, and some are worse than others!! I know it's a long drive but sure was nice to see horses that look good and going for good money.

I love black horses. Friesians are my favorite. But next I really like the grays. You really need a gray horse.

I was so excited when I saw you went to Kalona! We live within 45 minutes of the sale barn and they have some great stuff, especially tack!

I grew up riding horses. I sure do miss it.

I’ve been watching your videos and I love them! If I were in the market for another pony I’d love having someone like you to help. I have a large mini right now but when my granddaughter outgrows her I’ll want a bigger one.

I like the action videos, whether you buy one or not, and I certainly don’t need to be biting my nails any shorter which is exactly what happens when you are bidding 😅!

I love horses!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So much enjoy watching the knowledge you have with the horses. Very impressive!! Thank you again!!!!

I understand what you are saying about these auction horses. Kinda scary! It’s always interesting to me to listen to you explain why the horse you are looking at would meet your current needs and be a good investment for you. While at an auction those are the ways I learn the most from you. Such good info., as usual. Thanks again. 😊

Hi again SHAE Wow a big big sale! A better quality one for sure but you're so smart to take your time especially if you're going to 3 more sales this week. When the right overall situation is there you'll be ready! Looking forward to the next one. Thx as always for sharing. Catcha again soon...

Thoroughly enjoy your auction videos!! You are so informative!

It’s so fun looking at this, having joined the club half way through the story. Essie and Belle chapter 1 xxx

OMGOSH, LOVE THE PAINT IN FOAL 😃. LOVE LOVE THE DAPPLE, AND HE LOVED YOU! HE DIDN'T WANT YOU TO LEAVE!! OKAY LETS LOOK AT MORE 😃 I LOVE GOING TO AUCTIONS WITH YOU, THATS MY FAVORITE 🥰 BLESSINGS MY FRIEND 🙌 JENNIFER

Love an auction. Don't know why, but add the horses and I am sold. Thank you..

What I'd like to know is how this sweet woman manages to look so fabulous after 14 hours:) Thank you for sharing your knowledge with me. I appreciate you!

Really liked the dapple grey. And a lot of money so others must have rated him too. Surprised to see such big prices in winter.

Love your auction vids... keep em coming!

Shae you are my inner horse girl's hero!

4:50 that big white cream horse was awsome

Commenting at 14.08.. the gray is green but move’s strong and seems very level headed! Love your channel

I am in love with the dapple gelding, I believe he would do great with beginners to intermediate riders, he's got a good pace and seems to have a pretty smooth trot, the walk is really something, his canter is also quite smooth he'll be good for trails and such. At least from my perspective, for his height and his confo, he looks similar to a mustang x percheron, just based on the way he carries his head. Although he's a really gorgeous find

Great auction video. Appreciate you telling us what you notice.

I used to ride, but, then got my steel knees, and don't any more for fear of either falling or knocking them on wood...but do enjoy going on the trail online with you kyle and others...

I have a soft spot for the gentle giants. I have a percheron mare, whom is my fav of my 4 horses. Thank you for sharing this. I likely will not get the chance to a attend one of these type auctions being in Florida, so this is wonderful. BTW, I haven't seen many of your videos, have you done any rescues? The reason I ask is because most of the rescue horses seem to have some problems, but when I watch your videos at auction, you seemingly rule out most of the rescues, but you mentioned that you look at rescues. Perhaps my idea of rescues are those who may not normally sell or resell for a good price because they have some "flaw" that deters buyers. Most I have seen are also underweight, in need of good nourishment.

I love coming along with you to the auctions Shae, seen some beautiful horses too, fingers crossed for the next auction 🤞🏻, tfs x Julie 🇬🇧

You’re my favorite RU-vidr, do you horses are my favorite I live in Carrollton but I wish I could meet you.

I loved watching this, especially because of your experienced commentary!

Thanks for sharing 🐎💝 & ALL THE BEST TO YOU AND KYLE AT THE NEXT ONE 💎✨

A lot of really pretty horses at this sale I could’ve bought a dozen of them they’re so pretty not too many bad looking ones if any. That stallion with the beautiful markings on the face, I’ll take him, but I don’t know about stallion. They can sometimes be a little touchy. Then there’s a spotted pregnant draft horse. Oh my gosh she is beautiful gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous.!!

I think you are so beautiful and your husband is so sweet and so kind to all the animals. I know he works so hard and he is so smart!! God bless the both of you for many years to come!!

Loved the first mare

Good luck to you all.🎉🎉🎉🎉

Wooo Hooo!! Love your auction videos.

Liver with a flaxen tail in Maine is probably my favorite color of all. I had one like that her name was Blanca more fun and she was beautiful. Plus one of my favorite breezes a half draft they’re so pretty and stocky. no I don’t think you’re looking for a pasture pet, that would be a waste of your money don’t you think

Love the auction videos. Personally, I am glad you didn't get the dapply grey $10k gelding-to me, he looked sore amd he might need some good feet care. I can't wait for more auction videos.

I couldn't go to an auction..I'd fall in love with all of them... like, yeah,I'd want all these horses... Can't have all the horses. I need to win the lottery..lol
