EP 39: Conversations in Quarantine

Standardbred Trotter

We had an entirely different episode planned for today. Dr. Karyn Malinowski was kind enough to agree to a 2-part series on horse keeping at Rutgers University Equine Science Center. Well, we got Part One down okay, but as we connected last week to begin recording Part Two, Dr. Malinowski and Helena found that their casual conversation about their horses was just the antidote to the ho hum glum of isolation. And so that’s what you get today – an interesting conversation about Standardbreds, a mid-life crisis, crashes, lessons learned, laughable moments, and horses loved. This is the kind of thing horse people do… when we’re not riding, of course. So listen in!

EP 32: Outfitting Your Barn with Lucas Equine

Whether you are thinking about building a small barn or a large one, there are thousands of decisions to make along the way. When it comes to the actual components of your stalls, this is where you need to really focus on making decisions that are safe and comfortable for your horses. This doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice beauty, though.

Our guest today is Nick Thornton from Lucas Equine Equipment, makers of fine stall components that are manufactured right here in the United States. Nick is going to help us understand what our choices are when choosing stall components so we end up with a barn that looks as good as it functions. Listen in!

EP 28: Certifying Your Barn with CHA

How do you know you can trust a barn to provide quality care for your horse? How do you define the word “quality”?

If you ask 10 equestrians what “quality” means in terms of horse care, there is no doubt you will get ten different answers! That’s a problem when business owners open their barns for boarding. It may not be their problem, but it is certainly a problem for the customer – the horse owner.

As with any equestrian professional or service provider, accreditation is key to establishing trust with the customer.

In this episode, guest Christy Landwehr of the Certified Horsemanship Association chats with Helena about what certification means to equine businesses, why a barn owner should consider getting certified, and how one goes about the process. Listen in!
