Just an FYI Kyle and I can be very sarcastic with one another which you don’t usually see since this is a Horse Channel. When my mare arrived she was nervous and needed space and was expressing clear signs of not wanting to be touched. I was obviously joking when I was talking to him, and I want him to be safe. He’s the best ❤. Trust me Kyle is very sarcastic with me and I have to get back at him sometimes 😂.

She feels more like a Belle, especially since it’s part of her backstory. She’s transforming into a princess in your hands just like Belle did with the beast. It would make a wonderful story to tell people you meet about her and when she’s adopted in the far future to be able to pass that forward.

I’m here in 2024 looking back at this s video where Shae says I’m going to take care of you… little did we all know what that would mean… yet Shae has stuck with her work- she’s going to take care of her- love it!

I love the name Belle. A nod to her past is lovely.

So 8 months later and what surprises Belle has brought to the farm. I do rewatch videos and it brings a new vibe to them. Love it. Ariel and Esmeralda, you and Kyle, a team!

She reacts to "Belle". She seems very wise (well-read?🤭) and it is clear her previous owners cared for her enough to braid her mane. She is precious! Ask her which name she prefers!

I wish more animal owners would promise to take good care of their companion animals and acknowledge them as sentient beings. Thank you.

Kyle's enthusiasm and love of horses (and ponies!!) is really touching. How fortunate to have such a good man to share all the joy with... What you two have in common is a true blessing. I respect him so much for showing his tender heart as well as all his hard work with the farm to keep things up and running. What a gem. I lost mine and haven't been able to replace him after 30 years. Such a treasure you have in him... God bless you both.

She definitely looks like an Andalusian Percheron cross , and I myself like the thought of belle and Gaston

She's stunning, I vote for keeping Belle ❤️

I absolutely cannot wait to see her join and run with the heard in a few weeks, and see her progression and personality just come out at Free Spirit Farm! I think Belle most suits her out of the options

She’s a Belle. She is my favorite. She’s a gorgeous lady.

I love Belle, it’s just so thematic for her for so many reasons.

I was hoping you would call her Aurora but now it seems like she really should be Belle. Gorgeous!

Belle seems so perfect for her!! She’s gorgeous and I’m so excited to see more videos of her ❤

I love both names, however…..as you have Disney themed names for the pony’s, she came with the name Blue Bell, she found you, and it was meant to be ❤ I think her name should be Belle! She is a real beauty and her eyes were soft, I loved how she was falling asleep towards the end of the video 😍 She will soon see how much she is loved at her new home. Can’t wait till she’s out of quarantine and has a lovely grooming session. It must be so hard for you to wait for that time to come and for her to see the rest of her family 💞💞💞

BELLE!!!!!!!!! She’s literally so beautiful. Such a sweet girl and sweet face ❤️

Both names are beautiful! But I love the idea of having a Belle and a Gaston! The name Rajah is gorgeous as well because I thought she looked like a "Jasmine" so rajah would be a good fit! I bought 2 items off of the Amazon wishlist today for you so they should be there in a few days! I hope you like them!

Reason for selling: Hay running low. So sad. But I am so glad you have her now. She is beautiful.

Belle is a perfect name for her-so glad you decided on that!! 👍🤗

Belle is such a cute name for her I think it will suit her perfectly!

When you said you felt like you won the lottery YOU DID JUST WIN THE LOTTERY. She is such a beautiful horse. I can’t wait to see her journey.❤

Belle is such a cute name and suites her perfectly!

Ultimately, you should go with your heart. She's beautiful. She's powerful. She lifted you up at a time when you were feeling sad ~ Rajah is a Noble Faithful Companion in Disney...just like this Amazing Mare will be to all who come in contact with her. You can't go wrong with either name. Stay true to your heart & keep living your dream.

An old Norse word Syndr (pronounced Cinder) means ashes or cinders. She fits the color. If you're set on Belle or Rajah take Belle since a rajah is a male ruler in India. Whatever you call her I know you'll take care of her.

Belle! ❤️ Her ears perked up when you said Belle, it was super cute!

💝💖 It's best to lose one's mind in these situations, because the mind has nothing to do with these confluences of purposeful intent. It simply took Belle and Ezzy a week of Hoping--to coincide with you at Mt Hope... right off the trailer, just as you were leaving. I mean, really, it's a bloomin' miracle, and you-of-the-high-energy-quotient... Held Out for Them! I never tire of watching this story unfold... plus, could watch Belle's "floaty" trot all day long. I loved the "snorty dragon," too. (and hoot! Now Ezzy has golden front knee socks!). 18-Sep-23. And be consoled! Belle is French for Beautiful, which she certainly is.

Who care if she can do anything ,she is so beautiful , with so beautiful face and eyes. She was worth the price, just to see her in the field. BELLE is perfect .

I'd say go with Belle! It's a beautiful name and I loved when you said "Belle" and her ears perked up haha.

Belle is beyond perfect!

Her temperament is just wonderful. Gentle, calm and sweet. So happy to see her under your care Shae!!! She will be happy!!! ♥️ Belle is the name to pick!!!

Belle is absolutely gorgeous! She is my favorite horse out of your herd!

Belle says it all. I think you are going to be amazed at what you can do with her. Looking forward to your journey with this special mare.

That trot 😍 Shae, all of your equine herd is gorgeous, but I think this mare might be the prettiest mover yet.

Belle that fits her. She is so beautiful.❤️🐎❤️🐎❤️

Around 8 minutes you can see her baby kicking 🥰💓

Belle fits her for sure. She just seems so sweet with the way she just laid her head on you.

I love Belle!!💙Every time you said it her ears pricked forward.I love her beautiful long mare ears. If anyone has ever notice they have bigger ears than the boys have because they use them to hear where their babies are and listen for predators. This mare reminds me so much of a mare a friend of mine had. She was the kindest horse on the farm. This girl has a kind heart. You can tell just by looking at her. You found a true treasure when you found her. She’s definitely in the right home.♥️🐴🤗

She is 100% a Rajah! She looks like such a strong beautiful soul, she doesn’t look like a belle in my eyes.

This horse looked so good I felt that she must have been loved.then you showed the note.The previous owners will be so happy that you got her.

I love the Disney princess name Belle for her. Bluebell is a beautiful name as well. I would have considered Cinderella given her gorgeous gray color. She looks so regal any princess name would be good.

Have to let you know she brought tears to my eyes also. Grey's are my favorite color. Her dark legs are really nice also. Congratulations on your beautiful girl. Bella is my choice Raja sounds masculine to me.

I vote for Belle it feels right....love that name.

Wow!! She is so beautiful! When I was a teenager, I always wanted a gray mare with dark legs, mane, and tail! She is a dream!

I like Belle....It was very exciting at the auction.... Congrats, she is gorgeous!

Belle for sure. A strong lady that is open and honest without any judgement that wants to take care of her family.

Bell is such a queen and thank god you got her and If you didn’t have got her we wouldn’t have Esmeralda here ❤

Definitely looks more like a Belle to me. She’s beautiful, and Belle means “beautiful girl.” Seems very fitting.

❣💯 Shae, mares take a while to warm up to a new owner, unlike geldings who bond so readily. Beautiful Belle was chewing her mouth comfortably around you and I think she was sensing the good vibes at "Free Equestrian" Farm. She's only 7 years old; oh! I can see her as a brood mare. Remember commenting about buying a pregnant mare at the earlier auctions. Maybe the universe is moving you in that direction. I can't say enough how stunning her conformation and long line are and with perfect legs. Her chest is definitely Percheron, massive and muscular. Her coloring is the Belle of the Ball, for sure.

She has the KINDEST eyes and she's sooo beautiful❣️ Belle really suits her. Thank you for asking our opinion! I've been eagerly anticipating this video. What a journey! Thanks for taking us along. Love your channel and looking forward to more of your equestrian adventures. So excited for you Shae! 💖

I love the name Belle. She is so gorgeous and I am glad she got a awesome home that has other horses. She will be loved and cared for the rest of her life.

She's a Belle - simply because she is beautiful.

She looks like a Belle. Congratulations on your beautiful girl.

As she's responding with her ears to her name Belle a few times, I lean that way I think.... I just can't get over how gorgeous she is. Again congrats! Her mane is going to be wowzer I bet.

Belle is the best name for her. But I like Rajah too. If she had a foal recently it would not be surprising. She looks like such a lady.

I think it'd be really cute and quirky to have your only mares named after Disney male big cats. But aside from that, I think Belle is too demure a name for her and I'm also a start fresh kinda girl. I'm so glad she found a home with you guys 💜

I would call her Belle since that is very close to her original name. It also happens to be my grandmother's name. I think it's nice that those people cared enough to write a personal note about her. That is unusual for an auction horse.

She’s watching you like “GUUURL” who you talking to? Lol.

I like belle cause she is so cute and looks like a princess. It also brings some of her backstory into her new life.

OMG even from the beginning she exhibited majestic prestige ❤!

I'm so excited for you Shae and to see more of her, she's absolutely gorgeous!!!

I can't believe it. The first thing l thought was Blue Bell when I saw her. She has a beautiful noble head. I think lavender is her color. I was so happy when you got her.

it feels so crazy rewatching this video knowing how much had happened in a year, Belle sure is the sweetest mare and had grown a lot already, her journey is far from done! now don't tell the other horses but she is my absolute favourite 🙈

Definitely Belle. Suits her beautifully.

FINALLY I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR YEARS 😆😆😆😆😆😆

What a beautiful beefy mare. Belle suits her perfectly.

Wow Belle is an amazing name, she looks like she will do great! I’m sure of it, you train your horses so well! ❤

She looks like an Andalusian cross breed . “Belle” for sure👍

She looks like a Belle to me. She is gorgeous and I think she is grateful that she is safe now.

I love Belle. I kept their names. She’s beautiful, husband horse! It was fun watching you find her!

Who knew the wild ride had just begun.😘

Belle most definitely. She is gorgeous. I am so very happy for you.

Omy heavens above....she could not be more stunning!! What a magnificent animal!!! 💙

I think Belle fits her more.❤She is so gorgeous, really. Im literally obsessed with her. Can't wait to watch more videos about her and can't wait to see what surprises will she bring to you. She is so lucky that you are her owner, im sure you will make her shine like a star even more than now.❤❤❤

Love this horse!

Congratulations!

I really enjoyed watching your videos at the auction. My heart skipped a beat when you found the grey mare. I was so excited!! Praying you would win and you did. Yea. Congratulations. She is a beautiful horse and even though I'm just seeing videos of her, I get a really good feeling about her. You are so lucky and I cannot wait to see what her future with you holds. Belle suits her. ❤️

Thanks so much for letting us come with you buying a new horse. It was a little more fun to watch the new videos. Thanks.🎉

I am SOOOOO glad you share her info with us ❤

I am absolutely in love with this mare!!! She just floats like this beautiful dressage horse and her personality is so sweet and kind! When you were bidding I prayed you’d get her and when you did I actually teared up a little because I was so excited and happy! I compete in dressage with my dream and heart horse who is an Hanoverian X Friesian, she made me think of him because they both float and are so sweet and I think she’d be amazing at dressage, she’d be another dream to own and show too!😍 I immediately thought “Belle”! ❤️

I love Belle. She is absolutely precious and magnificent like Belle was.

I think Rajah is good name for her but I look at her face and she looks like a Belle to me.🔔 But I’m so happy for you she gorgeous and I love ❤️ you auction videos xxxx

She is so beautiful I love Belle beautiful Belle ❤

Beautiful! Love her

I like Belle. Like you said, a mare’s trust is earned, just like Belle in Beauty and the Beast. Can’t wait to see this mare slicked out in the spring, DAPPLES!

She is so gorgeous & good natured! What a perfectly wonderful soul! Obviously, her name is BELLE! While you were recording before & tossing the two names that you are considering out there, I don't think you noticed because you had turned your head just then but when you said 'BELLE' she gave an immediate, positive show of recognition. I thought right then that despite being at the auction, her former owner must have really cared for & treated her well because it shows & shines through her eyes, her physical appearance & demeanor. It had to be hard for her former owner to give her up but they had to have really cared for her to let her go when they were 'running low on hay'. Instead of seeing her suffer, lose weight & struggle, like so many auction horses clearly do, they sent her on to you, someone who would care for her & LOVE her as much as they did. Thankfully, she has not had that all too common horrible 'auction horse'' experience. They had to have put their faith in her being bought by someone like you. Like you said, 'She just showed up out of nowhere' after all the time, effort, heart & soul you put into the previous auctions & due to one thing or another, you weren't able to buy a horse that you had wanted. I believe we are truly seeing the proof of a higher power at work here in BELLE'S life! As such, she clearly has no negative associations with her prior history or her name. Which I believe is why you like to give your new horses new names so that they don't have any negative associations with their former life. As I said, I believe that BELLE has had a good life & been well cared for & loved very much & she recognizes her name with no negative feelings or memories, as so many unfortunate auction horses do. Please give BELLE & her former owner the respect of her memories & of the love they gave her, the heartbreaking decision they made in giving her up rather than seeing her suffer when they found that they weren't able to care for her any longer. Please let BELLE keep her name. It will be good for her soul. She knows who she is, BELLE. Thank you💜

She looks like a Belle!

I'm so happy for you!

Belle. 😍 She's beautiful.

Belle is her name! Lol So happy for both of you! She’s going to have the best life!

She is beautiful and majestic

What a sweet girl. I've been working with two Perch/ quarter horse mixes that look like her. I vote for Belle. She is absolutely beautiful and gentle. Don't know what kind of life she had as the Amish treat animals differently but I'll leave it at that. Thank goodness she is going to have a much better life now. Thank you for saving her at the auction.💜 Wish all of them could be saved and connected with the right person.

Belle definitely that’s adorable

I really like Belle...it seems to fit her. She's a beautiful mare...love her confirmation. It's going to be cool watching journey...I'm sure she wasn't shown the love she'll get now before she got to you.

I'm partial to "Belle"... but because I owned a Thoroughbred named "Belle's Last Chance". She's beautiful!

I would leave it BLUEBELLE, "Belle" for short. She is a Belle, beautiful ❤️

Before you mentioned the name choices for this gorgeous mare, I looked at her and a voice in my head said "Bella." She revived fond memories of the champion racehorse Unique Bella (whose dam was the champion Unrivaled Belle.) 😊

Love the name Bell, it suits her

Beautiful!! I can’t wait to watch her grow under your care.

Glad to catch up on Belles story.
