🐎 BHM: Switching Barns - It's That Time of the Year
|
Hi Reader, First off: It's SNOWING in Virginia! Which is gorgeous AND ALSO I know I'll be freezing at the barn later. Pro-broke horse mom tip: Pack your car with snacks, work, books, etc AND ALSO pack your coat and all your winter gear. I just got our replacement Carhartt winter gloves, linked in the Holiday Gift Guide, because WHY would be able to find the ones we used last winter?? My car packed for the barn in the winter is a combo of an office on wheels, a small pantry, and a coat closet. 🤦🏻♀️ New podcast episode alert!Every year around this time leases end, show season wraps, goals shift AND a LOT of families start quietly asking themselves the same question: Is it time to switch barns? So this week, we’re going there. Before I even hit record, I texted Chloe’s trainer and said, “Should I even talk about this??” Her response: “We can talk tonight… just keep it focused.” So I did. And now you get the episode I was almost too scared to make. 😅 🎙️ Switching Barns – Tis the Season In this episode, I chat about:

Hi Reader, Today's episode of Broke Horse Moms might just be my favorite so far. One thing I've spent hours pondering and chatting about with friends, trainers, and non-horsey folks is just how expensive this sport is and how hard it is to step into it without any type of horsey background. 🎙️ Affordability + Accessibility in the Horse World with Piper Klemm Enter....Dr. Piper Klemm, publisher and editor of The Plaid Horse Magazine, host of The Plaidcast podcast and a widely respected leader...
