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!

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 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.

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

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

Hubby to the rescue 💝!

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! 😉

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!

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!

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!

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 !

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.. 🙂♥️

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

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

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❤️

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

Love to watch Bagheera's ears when she is trotting fast and when She canters. She's a great leader!!😍❤❤❤

Bagheera’s mane is beautiful!

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

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!

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

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.😊

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

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...

It's good that you are such a good rider that you were able to catch up with her. Glad you all were safe

I love her ears catching every sound!!and that was scary!!im glad everything worked out!!

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

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

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.

I cannot express the joy your trail rides give me. I will never ride again and that is sad... So sad.... So your generous camera view allows me to pretend.. With the best of the hooves and bouncing head on front above the trail looking out they you're eyes... THAN YOU, Shey.

That was wild! Glad everything turned out ok.

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.😀

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.

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

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

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! 🤠🐎💥

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

Bagheera is like "what's the big deal?" But seriously such a great learning experience for your students. Things can happen, gotta always be paying attention and sometimes need to be resourceful. Well done.

Watched replay. Scary!

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

It’s so relaxing just hearing the horses trot and gallop I love it😊

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💕💕🥰

Bageehra's main is so gorgeous

So glad everything turned out ok.

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

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

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.

You handled that so well, I'm happy everything worked out in the end!

I love your horse! She’s my kind of forward going horse, plus beautiful scenery. Thanks for sharing

Yes you are 100% right. Stuff can always happen when you're on a horse and riding. No matter what you're doing. I think you handled it so perfectly. I would be so scary and I would be so worried but you found her everything was good and you guys finished out your ride and had a good rest of your day. Thank goodness You did a great job Shae..❤ and it sounds like she came right to you so she knew what to do. She loves you!..

Amazing ride! Even with the hiccups! Thank you for taking us along...absolutely beautiful 😍

Thanks so much for sharing. I used to Trail ride like this , so it makes me a little heartsick. Nothing better on earth than being with your horse on a mountain trail.

Shea she just loves being out there

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

What beautiful trails you are fortunate to have so many great places to ride. Thanks for sharing!

What an experience! So glad all is well ! 😮

God Bless everything turned out good love the videos keep them coming♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

So glad that everyone and the horses are ok. Bagheera is such a good girl, looked like she was coming back to look for you. Happy that everyone still had a good time after your scary adventure.

Glad everything got resolved ❤️😁👍

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

What a lovely ride, y'all are so blessed by such beautiful horses and land. So happy 😊 all were safe.

I just started watching this channel yesterday I did I horse camp this week and learn a lot about horses and I learned to ride one I'm happy u had fun on ur trail ride!😁

Great trails! I’m watching you trot those trails and wish my confidence was better. Watching you has helped me realize that I can do it again myself. I’m 66 and have only walked my horse for over 10 years.

I am happy it turned out well! Her ears going back and forth shows how she listens to you intently!

I’m so glad everything worked out❤

Whoa, you kept it real ❣️ my heart was racing. 🌷 Grateful for the journey

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

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

Your unfortunate incident reminded me of a time I was riding on logging trails in Washington state and my horse stepped on a snake on the trail. Wow, what a ride down the mountain that was. I love your videos and how you give such wise instruction while making it fun and enjoyable to watch. Thanks!

I like the way you recorded the trail ride, it’s very relaxing and feels like we’re there.

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

Wow! Scary moment! So glad for the happy ending.

I find it very peaceful to watch these rides of yours. In this case, I was worrying the whole time, though, waiting for a Bigfoot or something to suddenly jump out from between the trees! Glad it all worked out.

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

Glad all was well …. ❤

Great ride! Love those trails, so glad you all came back safely... scary moments for a bit.

The part where she tripped it was so cute

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

So glad everyone is OK. Thanks for taking us along on the trail riding adventure.

So scary! I used to do rides alone so that was frightening. I would pack a backpack of food for me and my horse (alfalfa cubes) and take off his bridle and put on his halter with lead rope and we’d have a little picnic! I loved those times with my horse!

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

Wow! What a crazy ride 😬 so glad everyone was ok. Life sure is an adventure isnt it 😅

Your horses are so so pretty!!

Super Great Time !!!

Omg I’m so glad you found her I love your vids

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

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

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

Beautiful forest surprised at your fast pace

Bagheera likes to move on out for sure. A great ride, folks. Wish I were there, too. Thanks for video! 💕 🤗 💕😊

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!

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

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.

I am so glad no one was hurt but also that you didn’t lose your sweet baby.

Good work on saving the ride. Murphey's Law is never far away, even in the fun world of trail riding. Well done on recovering the horse. Love your channel.

im so glad that you found Bagheera!

Buggy mode just like the old days , yes she is awesome 🏇

I could feel Bagheera’s energy in my bones. Let’s go🐎 I’m so happy nothing happened to her. She’s beautiful ( all of them are). I never wore a helmet riding. (Old school)I was running with my mare Midnight Lady & all of a sudden my saddle slips to the side & I see the road flashing by. She stopped like a good girl. Eventually 😬. When I saw your hubby that’s the first thing that flashed in my mind.

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

WoW that was crazy! Glad it all turned out good! Begheera is more forward than I had thought, she’s amazing for a 26 year old!
