🐴 From Haircuts to Foals: Meet Rachel, My Barn Manager! 💇‍♀️🐐

You’ve seen her in the background of a ton of videos, but today we’re putting Rachel in the spotlight! 😄 From her days owning a hair salon in Montana to managing our wild crew of minis, goats, foals, and everything in between—this is your chance to get to know the woman who keeps Running Springs running.

We also check in on Janis, our VERY pregnant mini horse (329 days and counting!), and I show you what signs I’m looking for as we wait for her to foal. 🐎👶

This episode is full of laughs, sweet stories, and a lot of behind-the-scenes chaos — just how we like it here.

💬 Let me know in the comments if you want Rachel back on the show, and what animal YOU think we should add to the farm next! (She votes capybara 😅)
