Lira is doing much better, but we may have polluted the meaning of the Ouch button. Does she really mean that? Obviously she needs more buttons! But which?

My plans for improvement in podcasting and horse husbandry. Also, Lira presses two buttons! As I post this episode, she is doing much better today.

How I chose and introduced Lira's first 10 communication buttons. Here is a link to the buttons we use: Learning Resources Recordable Answer Buzzers https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HT5HBMO/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_8D9TQJH6QQMAG7XNBNSA?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Welcome! In this episode you'll hear why I started the podcast, and how I got into using communication buttons with my horse.
