Nora and Maria go "back to their roots" and read submissions from Facebook posts, including someone trying to sell a horse that they bought because of a name associated with their favorite football team, and someone searching for a beginner horse for a child. They then talk about the pros, cons, and best practices for social media in the horse world.

Nora and Maria are running out of theme ideas so they read submissions that just felt like good ones! Including a person wanting an opinion on the price of their horse after injuries, and estimating a lease price for a 3-ring horse. They then discuss the things they do and don't care about as equestrians.

Nora and Maria read stories that were sent to them recently, including estimating a lease price on a 16 year old big eq horse, and a mom wondering if she should buy the pony her daughter has been riding. They then have a discussion about how to get into the horse show world as a beginner or returning rider.

Nora and Maria read submissions from our eventer friends, including a person selling their prelim mare, and someone looking for an eventer to do the adult ammy job. Then they read YOUR equestrian hot takes and discuss them!

We know you all love the podcast, but this week Nora and Maria read submissions from listeners showing us the LOVE! Including someone looking for a horse for a young rider, and a person looking for a price estimate on their forever pony. Then they have a discussion about how to find equestrian community.

Nora & Maria read submissions exclusively from Mare owners! Including a person who imported a 1.45m jumper mare, and an Australian listener wondering about the sale price for their mare. They then talk about their weekly training schedules and what to do when you feel like you've plateaued.

Nora & Maria read submissions all about people trying to lease horses for themselves or lease their horse out, including someone leasing a 1.45m jumper who has a vetting issue, and someone wondering what price their OTTB would lease for.

Then they discuss their thoughts about buying the horse you need for "right now" instead of something that might be better suited for the future.

Nora and Maria read submissions from people who told us what their ISO was and what they got, including a mother/daughter duo looking for a horse for dressage/jumpers, and an update from a previous submission from an adult ammy looking for an AO hunter.
