Listen Later

In this solo episode, Melisa takes listeners behind the scenes of spring preparation on her British Columbia horse farm, sharing the rhythms, challenges, and essential care routines that come with managing a herd of 14–20 horses. From navigating late-season snowstorms to tackling seasonal chores like tack cleaning, worming, veterinary visits, dental care, and shedding, Melisa offers practical insights and personal stories from life on the farm. She also shares helpful tips for maintaining horse health—like sand prevention, coat conditioning, and grooming techniques—while reflecting on the slower winter season and the excitement of gearing up for a busy spring.
