Barn — Business — Behavior
Wowie! We are finally here, in our southern home for the winter. Helena, Buck, Siouxsie, Brody, Clarabelle, Jack, Lola, and Cheeto. We drove 18 hours with a trailer full of hay and a truck full of cats to land safely at our farm in Aiken, South Carolina. It took a lot of planning to get here, and there are already so many interesting observations, so listen in!

In this episode, brought to you by our friends at American Stalls, Helena chats with Hannah Ely, proprietor of the Cornish Ranch Track Livery in Cornwall, England.
The Cornish Ranch has an interesting track system that includes lots and lots of hay, water buckets that are full of delightful suprises, and an approach to horsekeeping that honors the horses’s freedom of choice, as well as their deep-seated nomadic tendencies. This is one conversation that may open your mind and inspire you to try something new for your herd. Listen in!Â

Introducting a new, totally tricked out software program for barn owners that’s unlike anything else on the market today. EC Pro put out a press release this summer and it piqued Helena’s interest. After digging in to the features of the program, a lightbulb went off in her mind as she realized the potential of this platform to revolutionize the boarding business.
EC Pro isn’t just an app that tracks horses, vaccines, and tasks, instead it is an enterprise-wide customer relationship management (CRM) tool that can digitize a ton of administrative work in every barn across America.
If you are serious about running a boarding, training, or other equine service business, you’ll be interested to hear this episode’s discussion with the folks at EC Pro. Listen in!

Do you know how much water your horse drinks each day? Can you be sure they are getting enough? One of the primary causes of equine colic is an insufficiently hydrated digestive system. What if we could monitor exactly how much water our horses drink and ensure they always have fresh water when they need it most? Well, apparently now we can.
The show’s guests today are Kelly and Dan Munro, the brilliant duo behind the popular Lighthoof Mud Management Panels. The Munros have a new solution to the old problem of too much time and stress around making sure horses have adequate water. Kelly, Dan, and Helena discuss their new high-tech product, the Cascada Automatic Waterer, and how it’s different than any other automatic waterer brought to market thus far. If your horses eat or sleep indoors, this is an episode you won’t want to miss, so listen in!
In search of something that can help keep your horses cool during extreme heat events, but that isn’t quite as dramatic as installing an A/C unit in your barn? Consider a mist cooling system!
This episode’s guest is Bashil Patel with Mistcooling, Inc., a Texas-based manufacturer of a product that can drop the ambient air temperature by 10-20 degrees – in or out of your barn. This is a system that leverages a simple physical process… evaporation. Bashil explains how mist cooling works, and how you can use it in your barn. Listen in!
