  • Aftercare education, delightfully done

    I have been listening since the beginning and love every episode. I love racing and it’s great to learn about other breeds’ racing, how trainers transition horses, and how important it is to people in racing to find the next home for their horses.

  • Like the show but

    Has gotten very long with lots of silly “filler” stuff. Don’t care about stupid social media polls, etc. Please stick to real TB info.
