EP 9: The Perfect Boarding Barn – Or Not

Many of us have had to board our horses at one point or another. I bet many of you, like me, have had good experiences and bad experiences. If we’re lucky we learn from both, so that ultimately, we have more good experiences than bad ones. In truth, there is no perfect boarding barn – just like there are no perfect boarders. But you know, things don’t have to be perfect to be ideal. 

In this episode, we explore the concept (or is it fantasy?) of the perfect boarding barn with Terry Golson of the Cooperative Horse. Terry is a lifelong horsewoman who combines classic horsemanship with a reward-focused methodology to create enthusiastic and conflict-free partnerships between horses and riders. She joins me today to talk about how we can find (and create) the ideal boarding situation for our horses and ourselves. Listen in!

EP 5: A Simple Automatic Waterer

Making everyday barn chores easier first requires making them simpler. Take watering for example. Filling buckets lined up in stalls each morning and evening is essential, no matter where you keep your horses. Heading out to faraway lands to prep paddocks and pastures for turnout, however, can be one of those farm tasks that eats up time, energy, and for the professional barn manager… money. In my search for simple products that solve these kinds of problems, I found one called Drinking Post. Today’s episode explores the need for, design, and features of this neat new product. Listen in!
