Simple & Deep

Regina is back on the road in Tulsa at the Pinto World Championship Show and she had the pleasure of sitting down with two horse industry icons that need no introduction, Brent and Julie Harnish. In today’s episode they discuss genetics of the horse industry and where it’s going. As well as  Julie’s ability to work with youth and amateurs of all abilities. Brent and Julie have been involved in the horse industry for over 40 years. They are dedicated to raising training and showing all around Paint and Pinto horses for youth and amateur, and they provide a wealth of knowledge to the horse owner or buyer in particular. This is a must listen to episode.

Regina and Lynn have delved into the dark side of the horse industry and they have been shocked at the amount of stories out there.

Unfortunately, countless stories about fraud, accompanied by ill-gotten financial gains, seized horse properties, as well as high dollar horses are nothing new in the equine industry in recent years. In fact, there have been at least two high profile criminal cases involving federal horse seizures and interestingly, both have ties to the American Quarter Horse Association.

Today, Regina and Lynn are discussing those stories in this second part of Horse Industry Crimes.

Lynn and Regina are back again with Part 2 of the Chincoteague Island Ponies episode. And just in case you were wondering, Misty and Stormy are still sitting on their desk a week later for this episode.

Lynn and Regina have had a ton of fun talking about these ponies. Last week, they discussed the two different islands, how the ponies got to the islands, and the auction that happens every spring where you can purchase your very own Misty or Stormy. They have even started a coin jar to start saving to buy their own ponies.

So this week they are going to talk about the story of Misty of Chincoteague as well as the family that raised her and the author of the book that purchased, wrote and made Misty famous. Let’s dive into Part 2.

Raise your hand if you had a Misty and Stormy figurine from Chincoteague Island growing up? Both Lynn and Regina read and loved the books which is not a surprise since they were horse/pony obsessed, and still are. So it would only make sense that they would record an episode about the ponies of Chincoteague Island.

This is the first of two episodes about this most beloved story.  In this first part they will cover the two herds of Island ponies, some of the backstory, and fact-based history. And then the second one, airing next week is all about Misty.

Head to the basement or up to the attic, pull out those dusty book covers and Misty figurines, we’re heading back to our childhoods as we dive into this nostalgic story about all of our favorite ponies.

On today’s show Lynn and Regina are going to talk about the Budweiser Clydesdales. There are so many interesting facts and information that Lynn and Regina, and perhaps you too, didn’t know about the Clydesdales. From the Superbowl commercials to prohibition and how the Budweiser Clydesdales came about. So grab a cold one (and some kleenex, you’ll know why in the first five minutes) and join us as we dive into this fascinating topic.

This is a bonus episode about barn cats. Regina and Lynn had an episode all about Horse Show Dogs (scroll back to listen to that episode if you haven't yet) and so they would be remiss not to have a special episode devoted to the cat lovers out there. Enjoy this bonus episode all about barn cats.
