  • Audio is always bad.

    I’ve been dipping in to this podcast every so often for 2 years and it’s guaranteed to sound like someone yelling over a vacuum cleaner in a laundry mat. Oh well, there’s plenty of other equine podcasts to listen to.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

GOAT CHEESE THE MULE UPDATE - WITH ZATH MARABLE FROM OKLAHOMA
Q: So what is in the future for Goat Cheese?
Marable plans to ride him more and hopes to train him to pull a wagon with another mule, while continuing to prepare him for future packing trips.
GOAT CHEESE THE MULE UPDATE - WITH ZATH MARABLE FROM OKLAHOMA
Q: So tell me, what have you done with him?
Marable describes building trust through daily groundwork and consistent feeding routines, then gradually teaching Goat Cheese to accept a halter and have his feet handled.
UNDERSTANDING THE USE OF CRUPPERS & BREECHING - MEREDITH HODGES - LUCKY THREE RANCH
Q: Back to the Kruper, you say the buckles should not be near the tail structure of the Kruper, but I haven't found any that weren't like that.
Hodges recommends a crupper design that avoids placing a buckle where the tail could catch, and names Driving Essentials as a source for one option.
UNDERSTANDING THE USE OF CRUPPERS & BREECHING - MEREDITH HODGES - LUCKY THREE RANCH
Q: We're talking about Coovers and Breaching today?
Hodges explains that cruppers help stabilize a saddle while allowing hind-leg movement, while breeching can restrict extension uphill and is more appropriate for inanimate loads.
MYTHS ABOUT DESENSITIZATION - MEREDITH HODGES - LUCKY THREE RANCH
Q: At that point, can you add the core strength exercises and have it still do good for the animal that has been riding under saddle?
Yes. Hodges says to stop riding and return to leading and progressive groundwork until the mule moves symmetrically and has developed stronger core muscles. Existing joint or bone conditions may remain, so riding should resume only after the foundational work is complete.
