As livestock ladies it's important for us to know about the equipment we need to get the job done. This is that episode! 

Being mom's with jobs and horses is pretty busy so it hasn't always been easy for us to be consistent podcasters, but it wouldn't be possible at all without our guys that have our back, Brad and Channce. So, it's only fitting that the two guys that are the biggest supporters of the podcast should be the first episode in our second year of podcasting. 

On this episode of Ride Like a Mother we invited our husbands to step up to the mic and add their voice to the conversation, specifically about farm equipment. 

Brad is an auctioneer at Grunthal Auction Service where him and his team auction everything from teacups to tractors. Brad is pretty well versed in the ins and outs of used equipment. 

Channce has been a mechanic for 11 years. Currently he works for Kubota and Versatile. This guy knows a thing or two about keeping your equipment in shape. 

We asked them both about owning and maintaining horse ranch equipment. We also discussed buying, selling and markets. 

Happy anniversary to Ride Like a Mother!! March 18 marked 1 year since we posted our first episode.

There are few things more unpredictable (and amazing) than kids, horses, rodeo and ranch life. Traci Denbrok-Sandilands and Laura Stokes are pretty familiar with all of them.

Alisha Froese is a Purebred Angus Breeder, YouTuber and barrel racer. Not to mention she's a mom and has a full time off farm job. If anyone knows about the hustle of Christmas on the farm it's her! 

That's why we thought it would be fun to have a conversation avoiding that frantic Christmas frenzy. We talked about what we do to feel relaxed and prepared for Christmas. We also shared a few stories of what NOT to do when preparing for Christmas, just to keep it real. 

We hope you enjoy this episode of the podcast with our good friend Alisha. 

Merry Christmas everyone and thanks for listening in each week in 2022!
