Another episode of our Horse Breeds around the World Series. Today we talk about a lesser-known American breed of horses which is iconic for the state of Missouri and which was breed to ride and settle the Ozark Mountains. The settlers wanted to have a comfortable, sure footed riding horse which could be also used to pull a wagon or plough a field. But the speciality of the breed really is their comfortable gait called Foxtrot. To know more about the Missouri Fox Trotter, I am talking to Linda Vishino, horse breeder from Missouri about her favourite breed.

It's that time of year again when we need to look at Equine vaccines. Today's episode will help guide you through equine vaccines and help you plan the best protection for your horse. Horses can contract infectious diseases in two ways: from other horses, and from their environment. Even horses that live alone can contract infectious diseases from contaminated feed, water, or soil, or from infected insects or wild animals. Prevention has never been so important. The number one way to do this is through an effective equine vaccine program. Equine vaccines are essential to keep your horse healthy—and in some cases, alive—for the long run. Don'tforget to share with your friends so they won't miss out.

Saddlebags, what to pack? If you have been wondering what you need for a day's ride, you are at the right place. Today's episode is all about Saddlebags and what to pack in them. Saddlebags come in many styles, for both English and western style saddles. The first style is a smaller one that attaches over the horn of a western saddle or attached to the small rings at the front of an English saddle. The second is the larger style that sits at the back saddle. Both are very functional styles of saddlebags, depending on what you are looking to travel with. Listen while I share some tips on what to pack in each style of saddlebag for both you and your horse. Please share with your friends so they won't miss out.
