Barns are the perfect proving grounds for efficient management and thoughtful design.

There are many different ways we can improve upon our daily chores – from setting up feed and turning horses out, to sweeping up after all of those picked hooves. This week, I’m sharing a few observations and tips that can keep your barn chores flowing and efficient. Plus, one more update on Siouxsie and the Solitary Witch. Listen in to find out how we fared on the return trip to Hoo Hollow!

EP 65: Barn Tips for the Buddy Sour Horse

April 28, 2021April 29, 2021

This episode is brought to you by Lucas Equine Equipment

It’s springtime in America, and that means many of our horses are back to work in earnest. Some more than others, and for some horse owners, separating our horses from their friends in order to work, travel, or show, can mean managing emotions – theirs and ours. My guest today is Nick Rivera of the Horseman’s University. Nick is a trainer who helps horses gain understanding and confidence in a human environment. Nick and I talk about how we can manage our horse’s daily routines in order to help them learn to be more confident and independent. Listen in!

EP 59: Listener Stories with Ashley in Atlanta

February 17, 2021February 17, 2021

This episode is brought to you by: Lucas Equine Equipment, makers of fine quality stall components and accessories. And, by Tangent Materials, smart fencing for safer farms.

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.)

EP 54: A New Kind of Turnout for Healthy Hooves

December 9, 2020December 9, 2020

We know so much more about our horses needs today than we did 10, 20, or 30 years ago. Research, technology, and the internet have allowed us to learn and share information about horse care like never before. One of things we have learned of late is that healthy horses and hooves depend a lot not just on how much time horses are turned out, but what they do while out there.

Paddock Paradise, introduced to the horse world by Jamie Jackson back in 2007, and based on his extensive research of wild American horses, is gradually becoming a more common fixture in American horsekeeping plans. Europe has been on board with this paradigm shift for quite a while. Perhaps it’s time we Americans start re-thinking our property layouts, too. Listen in!
