SOMETHING SCARY HAPPENED ON THIS TRAIL RIDE… 

Bagheera is a very good girl-- she thought " Where is everybody??" And came back looking for you! I am glad you did not yell at her- you don't yell at animals, ever-- that is why she came right back. She trusts you.

I actually am part of a search and rescue team here in Michigan. We have had several call outs for missing horses and riders . We even had one last week. Luckily all with a good outcome. It is easy to get lost on some of these trails. Glad everything worked out and everyone is safe. Have fun!

I was taught, by people with trail riding experience, so many valuable preventatives that I never would have thought of myself. Of course these were veterans of the longer rides. You were on a short ride and you handled it very well. Plus you were just so blessed in every way in how it turned out. I get the feeling that you are very lucky lady. But, for the unlucky riders out there, I just wanted to share some of the things I was taught, if ever you are a viewer go on a longer ride. Always carry saddle bags and have a few medical supplies in it. (For ex.- A menstrual pad and duct tape work well to temporarily bandage a cut on the leg.). Plus duct tape will fix many tack problems temporarily. Always roll your halter and lead rope up, and tie to back of saddle. Then if you tie your horse up, you won't have to worry about breaking the bridle. Plus if your bridle breaks, you at least have a way to control the horse. Wire cutters, tubes of antibacterial medicine, etc. Water bottles and snacks, in case you get lost. And always remember that every part of the pine tree is edible. So get familiar with how to eat it....worse case scenario, of course. I know I got a little carried away, but it really does pay to think ahead about worse case scenarios. I am so thankful for all the wisdom passed down to me, and I felt this situation might get others thinking about it also. If you ever are out of ideas for a video, would you consider giving pointers on being ready for the worst at horse shows, trail rides. What do you carry in your truck and trailer for preventative and emergency care. I think this would help many horse people.

Her trot is amazing, so glad she is wirh you. Perhaps a little saddle bag with a halter, 1st aid kit, clips and some string for emergencies might be an idea. You could even take candy!

I'm 73 and I'm no condition to ride anymore. Thank you for taking me along for this fun ride one more time!

Bageehra's main is so gorgeous

The view of Baghera's main and neck is stunning. She takes direction so well and her ears never stop tuning in on her surroundings. You are so blessed to be able to choose such wonderful animals and train them with love and respect. I'm unfortunately highly allergic. I can't walk near one or touch it. So thank you for this video that let's me ride along with you though I'll never accomplish it in person. Love the lighter lipstick you showed while you rode Beauty bitless for the first time. A job well done. Thank you.😊

I like watching Bagheera's ears on the trail ride. And glad everything turned out OK.

Thank you so much for taking your viewers on such a beautiful adventure. 🐎 Michigan is truly a unique state. 🌻

What amazes me Shea, is that no matter what, you are always spot on with your lipstick! I'm surprised your horses aren't covered in lip prints! 😉

Shea, I love that you always stay focused and reassure everyone that you're not mad....just concerned! I'm glad that this "blooper" situation was resolved so seamlessly.... You are so fortunate to have Kyle as your partner~ he is so handy at patching things up ! .... I am old, with all the issues that accompany that, so it was really nice to go along on your ride vicariously.... The way you filmed, I felt I was on the horse, enjoying the smoothest ride ever. : ))))) I actually had a really good time and enjoyed the scenery ! Thanks for sharing !

You can tell your horses are well conditioned. Bagheera could do endurance trail competition, she's tuned in & loves it.

I had an ex-Amish horse - buggy mode was amazing! She was such a star on trails, too - she would do anything you asked. I remember one of the first trail rides I did I ducked to go under a dead branch and it snagged in my shirt and broke off and stuck there, so we were riding along with me trailing this long dead branch from my back, across her rump and down to the ground. And she just kept walking. We fell in a pond once and she just swam us out and then snorted at me as if to say "what stupid decision my human made! We don't belong in the pond!" Glad your whoops! turned out all right!

Tack malfunction and a horse heading out on an adventure. Fun had by all. Happy every thing turned out ok.😊

Hubby to the rescue 💝!

Dear Shae, since I only started watching 9 months ago, I have been doing a little back-filling on your journey and can appreciate how smooth/fast Ms. Bagheera really is here, What a special girl she is, and returned to you. Though, before my following you, I can see Meeko was a very sweet, and pretty boy, too. The trail is gorgeous!

This video brought tears to my eyes! I felt like I was on that horse cantering down the trails as I did when I was a young girl! How I love the “sounds “of riding! It was just wonderful. Thank heavens there were no people or horses injured or lost in the incident! What a glorious ride❤️

At one point I just decided to close my eyes and listen to the horses moving. Thank you

I could watch her head all day .. Her trot is amazing and so fast . No wonder she looks half her age ..Experienced leader and mounts saved the day , these things can happen to anyone at anytime . You've all walked away safe so it's all good ❤

Love your trail rides, feels like I'm with you all!! Lyn 75😂❤

I’m glad all the horses and the riders are OK that must’ve been a little nerve-racking for you guys

im so glad that you found Bagheera!

So scary! I've never had a girth snap, but wayyy back when I was a child, didn't have my own horses and was taking lessons, I had one day where I had to ride a different horse because my usual lesson horse was at a show. No one told me the new horse liked to do this fun trick where he puffed out his chest while you tighten the girth, so I made it about 10 minutes into my lesson before I started sliding off, saddle and all 😂 so glad Bagheera didn't go too far and you found her quickly!

They are so cute with their noses poking out of the window ready for the day's adventure. The horses look fantastic and are a testament to your excellent care & understanding of their rehab needs. Your channel shows how horses can be fit, rideable, beautiful and happy well into their golden years. 😍 It just crossed my mind that my riding instructor just did something similar. With a shortage of horses under 5 figures in San Diego & needing another lesson horse, she bought an 17 year old OTTB with protruding bones, no tone & little understanding of the rider's aids. After several months he's doing & looking so much better & is such a darling boy. Everybody loves him & it's amazing to ride him as he's continually transforming.

Those r things u don't need to happen on a ride. Scary stuff. But u handled it with the grace I know u for.

Jiminy was the only one who didn't get the bad luck 😂 I am glad everyone is ok tho ❤

Phew! So glad that everyone is OK. I seriously thought that a 🐻bear was going to jump out at you 😢😢

Your horses are always so beautiful and clean and look like a real pleasure to ride. Keep up the good work,, a Canadian Fan.. AL REID.

Super Great Time !!!

I was always so crazy about horses ! When I was about 6 years old in 1954, my aunt gave me an old western saddle that used to be her sons. My mom would put it on the bottom of the bannister, going up the stairs, I would put my dads belt around the bannister and it was my reins! I loved the sounds of the saddle! I rode that bannister for hours! I had not thought of that in years. I thought you might enjoy my story! Thanks for giving me so much pleasure!

Whoa!!! Bagheera is a speed demon. That was an amazing ride. How long did it take you to do the whole thing? It’s a beautiful trail. Glad that no horses or human were hurt or lost in the making of this video.😁👍♥️

What a beautiful area to trail ride, and thank goodness you have well trained horses that dont panic a runway uncatchable, I always carry in my saddle bag, extra rope halter,lead rope. Screw driver, extra biteless bridle ,reins, and first aide kit, leg wraps, its alot but weve used most of it on the trails for emergencies. I love 💘 your videos

Loved the video today Shea.....especially riding with you on Bagheera with only your voice or the sounds of horse & saddle was awesome....Her ears were working it on being the lead horse. Thanks for another great video...

Wow ! Was she trying to find you ?

So grateful things weren’t worse … but yes scary and quite the adrenaline rush.. thank goodness you are a calm person and fast thinking and acting.. really happy there were no serious injuries.. and everyone rebounded and continued with your trail ride.. 🙂♥️

Omg I bet that was so scary I hope that never happens to you ever again and I hope it never happens to me cause I would be crying if I lost one of my horse

Loved watching this ride, it made me feel as though I was riding with you! What an awesome area. Poor Meeko, gets a boo-boo for trying to find Bagheera. At least you know that she won’t go too far if this ever happens again.

Bagheera has such a beautiful walk. She almost seems prissy.

The trail is beautiful

Always make sure our horse ride double. So glad this turned out great.

Once I was galloping my Quarter horse through an open field and the girth flew up and hit me in the head. It was very scary 😨

The trails you have near home and other places you trail ride are wonderful. Glad Bagheera loves you and was happy to see you.

thank you for the beautiful trail ride so glad you are safe and everyone else. I appreciate your honesty and openess

WOW SCARRY GLAD CYLE WAS THERE ==GLAD ALL WENT WELL 🥰🥰🥰🥰

I hope your student didn't feel too bad about losing Bigeera😱, it's easy done holding two,🐎🐎 esp in trees. Somehow you get to the point where you can't move and letting go is all you can do. And you always let go of the wrong one!😳 If I'd let go of my velcro boy, he'd just wander close eating grass, or branches?. If I let go of my sister's, oh dear! Remedy? best to stay on board my mount while holding, then he couldn't cut me off while he ate. But no idea is perfect, if you are due a scare, the gods will conspire to give you one. Then you see how good you are at dealing and that's the point. You all worked together to ensure everyone was safe.😊 Happy trails

Love love love this. I wish I was there on a horse. Thanks for making it feel so real

Goodness, what an adventure. Glad everyone is OK. When you are in a fast trot on Bagheera, are you posting or in a 2 point? Would love to see her at a gallop! There is no way she is 25!! Thank you for taking us along. Fun, fun!

I love when you take us with you on the trail riding. I was recently riding on a bike trail and noticed horse trails parallel to us. Near St. Charles, Michigan

Wow! That must have been really scary! But you stayed calm which is great. I am glad that everyone is safe. I hope Miko is doing okay. I also enjoyed the nature sounds. So relaxing.😀

Loving my ride:-)))

Omg 😆 that was officially scary 😦 I love your vids💕💚 Horses are one of my favourite’s THANK YOU FOR POSTING YOIR VIS LOVE IT SO SO MUCH💕💕🥰

I did a few night search and rescues, always anxious about finding an injured horse or rider. It was very scary what you went through, however you handled it like a pro instead of loosing it and panicking like the majority of people. I was trained as a child to always carry a length of rope, barn twine or leather strips with me, either in my pocket, on the saddle or in the saddle bags. My grandfther wouldnt let hs ride even the ponys unless we had minimal supplies, consisting of hoof pick, knife and our string/twine/rope. I came home a few times using just a barn twine bridal/bit after the pony/horse spooked and ran off. Luckily a few bridals, and bareback pads and 1 shoe was the worst danage I ever experienced with the horses. The 2 hours searching for the lost horse at the time seemed to last what felt like forever.

This makes me miss my days of trail riding. I wish I could get back into it. Thanks for bringing us along though!

Prince charming is oh so hansome!

I used to ride but not anymore due to health reasons so to imagine riding with you guys on these videos does my heart good

Beautiful ride! Some very tense moments but all is well thank God!❤❤

So glad your all ok. Your amazing, horses are amazing, horsemanship is amazing, video is amazing xxx

Just thinking, I bet the other horse at home would be well jealous if they knew where their horsey friends had been for the day? I think the horses also have a good time out in the woods Shae. Regards, Dave UK

Love all you do & thank you for all the content! Just missing me some videos of Gaston!! What a lovely man he is! 😍

That's the first time I've you curse, I don't blame you though that had to be pretty scary

That area looks like some of the bridal paths in England. It's beautiful! Bagheera must have Morgan in her. I have 2 Morgans and a Morab, and they're trotters. What an adventure! I'm glad you were able to finish the ride and have a great time.

Shae, Bagheera cracks me up! She is just like a little locomotive the way she chugs along, building up steam so she can go faster! I know you were a bit afraid for her, but it came out OK. With your title I was afraid there had been a poisonous snake on the trail. Thanks for taking us along for the fun! Wahoo! 🤠🐎💥

That was a nice horse trail. Very quiet & a nice well- kept path.

OMG I was imagining all kinds of things. I was afraid that you might have encountered a bear or something. Glad everything turned out okay. That little mare can really go! She must have some good racing trotters in her bloodline. If she weren't so old, she might make a good endurance horse. No need to canter on the trail with a trot like that.

That was wild! Glad everything turned out ok.

Bagheera’s gait is so cool!! Have you thought about getting a go pro mounted to the top of your helmet? I’ve seen some cool trail ride videos that do that!

Glad all you guys are nice and safe. I always think when these type of things happen that these type of things happen!! 🤩🤩🙀🇦🇺🇦🇺

I am srry that happend hopefully Mike’s scratch healed up good

Bagheera’s mane is beautiful!

Thanks for the ride, enjoyed the greenery and your beautiful horses!

Your horses are so so pretty!!

Glad your all safe. Least it wasn't raining . Great Videos. 👍 Good. Education. Your a great. Teacher. ❤ gorgeous 😍

So scary 😮😮😮

Its so relaxing getting to 'ride along' with you. I haven't ridden in 20 years and these types of video remind me how much i used to love to ride.

Enjoyed the ride with y’all!! I’ve always loved horses!! Glad everyone is ok!!

I’d groomed my 2 yr. old chestnut Arab to polished perfection, getting ready for our first horse show, the New York State Arabian Show. His trailer van was to arrive shortly, so I led him to our house, down the street from his stable, and put him in our garage, took off his lead while I ran upstairs to get my suitcase. I got to the top of the stairs when I heard a horrifying sound … the garage door was going up, my brother was home from school!!! OMG , I bolted downstairs to find my white-faced brother and Ketchame’s tail end racing at full gallop down the street … omg, omg. No cars at home plus I didn’t drive. No cell phones in those days. I grabbed a fist full of carrots and his lead rope and started running after my horse. I passed an open field which led to an enormous green cemetery, something told me to turn in there, so I did. I searched and searched, calling his name, and finally I found him, grazing among the tombstones. Slowly I approached him, murmuring praises to him for stopping … and I caught his halter … sigh … and fed him carrots while I thought what to do. He was not saddle trained yet, but we’d spent a great deal of time together, longing, leading on streets to acclimate him, leaning over his back … so I did it. I knotted the loose end of his lead onto his halter, put the loop over his head, and led him to a tombstone, which I climbed and slid onto his back. My wonderful, intelligent, loving boy let me ride him, for the very first time … we walked, then trotted to get home asap. Not a single startle or buck, he was incredible and trusting … We got home, he stood while I slid off, he was watered and rubbed down, some grass stains removed from his white socks … and the horse van arrived. My wonderful boy won 3rd place in the New York State Arabian halter class. Beside him at trot, he went into a gorgeous floating trot, as did I , to keep up with him. I was, and always will be, bursting with pride for him, my ❤ horse. God bless him always. 16:33

I love you and your horses and I would be crying if that happend Tomy horse

Really shea I think she went looking for you

I love horses ❤so much ❤and your videos to ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Love your channel I love what you do and how you change horses lives it's amazing. So sorry that happened to you. That sounds horrible. I would love to see a tack room cleaning video or something like that:)

I am sorry you all had to go through that “adventure”. Could see in your face the adrenaline and trying to replay everything in your head. Just a big hug to you 🤗🌻 Another memoir for the journal and thankful everyone is safe and able to clean up with a little skin care cream.

Your horses hair looks so smooth❤ and she’s very nice colour🎉😊

Love the fast trot ride, we’ve all had those type of rides 😑😃

horses are awesome I love your mare how her little ears are looking every where to make sure she alert for anything

"Let's just blame you" him: casually munching a leaf

Feels like you’re running the Tevis!

❤

Seems like a great ride

I like the horse that is white with brown spots

Oh wow look at all the horse Tailors

Guess your fear is much like a parents' when their child goes off wondering in the neighborhood or department store. Bageera was just thinking "ooowee! I can do what I want, I'm free! I'm making a run for it!" 😀 Kind of wonder how she lost her bridle. All's well that ends well.

ive never heard shae curse before. safe to say i was a bit shocked💀

What a great ride you took us on.. thank you !

Naughty Bagheera!!

Bagheera is such a great trail horse, looks like she can trot all day!

Looks like a great trail ride.

I would love to see Bajeera fast trot from the side!

Great job taking care of everyone! Felt I was right there with you!

Pov I'm 10 and I get bullied for doing horse riding bc people say horse riding isn't a sport ( I have my own horse a mare her name is betsy she's 20 & she's more than a pet she's like family to me &she's way more supportive than the people at my school)

Wow your good at horses 😍
