On today's show, we had a cross collab with Schleese Saddles where Joy and Jochen Schleese talk about saddle optimization for woman and how the right saddle for you can make a world of difference for your horse. Then we meet an adoptable horse of the week and a new training tip with New Vocations' Bridget Heasley. Stay tuned!

On this LIVE bonus episode of the Adulting with Horses podcast, Heather and Natalie join with their podcast bestie, Ashley K. Winch and Sandy and Cara from Saddle Talk, newly on the HRN network.

Buckle up, folks! Today's episode is a cocktail of hilarious adulting adventures, horse tales, ghost exorcisms, and enough sarcasm to keep your spirits high. If laughter, good friends, and a little bit of horse chaos sound like your jam, this one's a must-listen.

Matthew Jackson talks about various factors that affect hoof health and soundness, and the potential and limitations of the internal structures of the hoof and the hoof capsule itself.

As horses age, their health care needs and associated costs often increase, making proactive management especially important. Having your veterinarian perform regular examinations, dental evaluations, and monitoring for common senior conditions can help you catch problems early and potentially reduce long-term expenses. Senior horses might also require specialized feeds, medications, or additional supportive care, which can increase monthly costs. Developing a preventive care plan and budgeting for age-related health needs can help owners support their horses’ comfort and longevity.
