Even if your horses graze on acres of lush pasture for most of the year, there is always a need for hay on a horse farm. For many horses, and for many different reasons, pasture is not an option as a primary source of forage, which means buying hay becomes a critical part of every barn manager’s or horse owner’s job. And it can be a tricky task. In this episode, Helena is joined by her good friend and fellow hay geek, Coach Jenn from Horse Radio Network, as they compare notes and ideas about the realities of shopping for hay. Listen in!

Horses can have a powerful impact on human beings. If you love horses, you know this is true. In fact, many of us believe our horses to be valid therapy for our mental health. But horses are individuals, with unique personalities. How we combine with those personalities shapes our relationship with them-whether as pets, performance horses, or therapy partners. In this episode, Helena is joined by Ph.D. Candidate, Ellen Rankins, from Rutgers Equine Center. The discussion is about equine personalities, temperament, and Ellen’s current research on how Equine Assisted Activities and Therapies affect both humans and horses – specifically combat veterans with PTSD. Listen in!

EP 59: Listener Stories with Ashley in Atlanta

Did you know that 95% of new podcasts fade away within the first year? Podcasting is not as easy as it seems, and that’s pretty much true for most things that are worth doing. If you love it, the hard work and the time it takes to be good at it, are small prices to pay for the joy of doing it every day. Kind of like working with horses.

One of the things I love the most about my job as a podcast producer, is the chance to connect with and learn from my fellow equestrians. Through our passion for horses and the art of conversation, these connections help make the horse world better and stronger. My guest today is Ashley Newman, a Stall and Stable listener from Atlanta, Georgia who just bought her first farm. Ashley is in the process of setting things up for her own horse, while putting plans into place to one day welcome boarders, as well. I’m excited for you to get to know her, so listen in!

Well, well, well, it’s been an interesting three months of learning, coping, and evolving here at Hoo Hollow! From mental health and crazy horses, to shattered splint bones and a new truck, there’s a lot to cover. No matter how long you’ve been involved with horses, or how much you think you know, there is ALWAYS room for learning… and a slice or two of Humble Pie. Listen in!

(p.s. That’s Brody snoozing in our feature photo this week. He’s real good at taking advantage of a little winter sunshine.)
