Judging Other People's Horses: Mane Edition May 03, 2024

Is Your Horse Dirty or Do You Just Not Groom Them Properly? On this episode of the Adulting with Horses podcast, we talk an extraordinary amount about manes. We all know we have strong opinions, but Natalie publicly shames Heather for Ferrous's wild hair! Rude. Heather's horses are just slackers and it's not her fault (or so she says).

Ferrous goes lame but attends a pony party at the barn, and Ben is a very naughty boy.

Do you like horse movies? We also end with a chat our favorites including the docuseries Wild Lands, Wild Horses by our friend Jamie Baldanza..

We're bringing back our popular Halloween episode to share our own spooky ghost stories with a lot of help from our clubhouse members.

Who doesn't love a good ghost story, especially when it involves our favorite topic- horses?

This episode is brought to you by Redingote Equestrian. The weather is turning, it's getting colder! Time to think about stocking up for winter with the new releases from Redingote Equestrian. They have recently released updates to their famous one-piece jumpsuits- new/textured/rip-stop fabric and adjustable cords added to the hood so they feel super fresh this season. But if you aren't a fan of coveralls, they have just announced the release of their new "separates" collection of bib pants and jackets! Redingote has something for every woman, whether working in the barn or riding through the winter. Stay warm, dry, and feminine in Redingote.

She is the award-winning author of non-fiction books Confessions of a Timid Rider, Adulting with Horses, and Girl Forward: A Tale of One Woman’s Unlikely Adventure in Mongolia as well as the awarding winning blog, The Timid Rider.

Heather lives in New Jersey with her husband, three daughters, three rescue dogs, and her horses (of course!).

About Natalie Keller Reinert

Natalie Keller Reinert is the award-winning author of more than a dozen books exploring love, human nature, and the passions which make us tick. With an extensive equestrian background, many of her books are set in the world of horses and horse-people. Drawing on her professional experience working with Thoroughbred racehorses, mounted patrol horses, therapeutic riding, three-day-eventing, and many other equine pursuits, Reinert brings her love of the equestrian life into each of her titles.

Today, Reinert lives in Central Florida with her family, including a lazy foxhound and a white-blazed mustang named Ben.
