This is part two of the HRN Host Series on Stall and Stable. The saying goes, "If you ask 10 different horse people how to do something, you'll get 10 different answers." Helena puts that adage to the test asking her HRN colleagues about what they think qualifies as happy horse keeping. In this episode she chats with Piper Klemm, publisher of the Plaid Horse magazine and host of the Plaidcast, about what best practices she employes to keep her fleet of lease ponies happy and healthy, as well as what trends in the horse industry support a more holistic approach...

Keeping Horses Happy, featuring Retired Racehorse Radio Host, Joy Orr
The saying goes: "If you ask ten different horse people how to do something, you will get 10 different answers." Well, Helena decided to put that adage to the test and ask ten different horse people their opinions about what qualifies for happy horsekeeping. The ten people happen to be her Horse Radio Network colleagues-all horse professionals in some way, shape, or form, and all with a similar horse-first philosophy when it comes to keeping, training, and competing their horses. As with all HRN shows, you never know where the conversation will go, but you know it will...

The change in Siouxsie's attitude, the way she feels while being ridden, the potential for developing a truly fit and healthy horse, and the feedback loop between a green horse and the human she's come to trust. How does a horse's environment make a difference in their future as athletes? There are many horses out there with similar stories who are simply asked, or told, to trudge along because their reluctance to work is perceived as lazy or naughty...

It's Either Horses or Me!
Living with a horse person is a unique experience, especially when you're not the kind of person who is completely obsessed with horses. Living with horses in your backyard is an equally unique experience, because horses aren't just in your life, they ARE your life, whether you like it or not. In this episode, Buck joins Helena once again, but this time to discuss what it's like to have every corner of your home, and most of your life, influenced by horses and horsey things. Listen in!

Even if your horses graze on acres of lush pasture for most of the year, there is always a need for hay on a horse farm.
