  • Fun with horse girls

    This is a great podcast to get a glimpse of everything from 5* horses to adult ammies. As a horseless adult amateur, I love hearing about all the adventures and horse exploits. Always something relevant

  • Love it!

    Every month I look forward to this podcast. I wish it was weekly! I’m a western rider (shout out to Ellie) and still a fairly new rider and horse owner but always learn so much. All 3 are so informative and fun. Love the drink recipes, rose & thorn, various guests and product reviews. I have bought several products I’ve heard about on this show!

A Life Without USEF?
Q: What are the goals for the UDJC in terms of expansion?
David envisions expanding the UDJC to other states, creating additional circuits in areas with high interest and encouraging horse welfare and inclusivity.
A Life Without USEF?
Q: Can you tell me more about the unique structure of your show circuit compared to existing institutions?
Reichert explains that the UDJC focuses more on rider skill with ability classes that are judged separately from horse quality, making the sport more accessible and emphasizing horse welfare.
Horse Girl Boos
Q: What do you recommend for a healthy horse when it comes to vaccinations?
Core vaccines like rabies, West Nile virus, and flu should be administered in spring; those that mingle with other horses should get boosters in the fall to maintain immunity.
Horse Girl Boos
Q: What do you feel like horse owners should be paying the most attention to as we move into fall?
Booster vaccines are crucial to consider during the fall, especially if horses are co-mingling with others.
Horse Girl Boos
Q: Can you give us the rundown of just what the current guidelines are for deworming horses and maybe why we've seen some of those recent changes?
Recent changes have been prompted due to increased resistance seen in parasites, leading to new guidelines from the American Association of Equine Practitioners.
