Horse Industry Podcast
Regina and Lynn grew up together with a passion for the horse industry. Throughout their entire lives, they have lived and breathed the lifestyle from 4-H beginnings to World Championships. This podcast brings the lifetime of adventures and the industry they love to life. Learn a little, laugh a little and enjoy the Horse Industry Podcast as they explore the "stories of the industry".
In this episode, Regina gets to know Jean Abernethy. Jean is the creator of the world’s most popular equine cartoon horse, Fergus (Equus-hilarious).
As shared in the Western Horseman (February 2016), “For more than 20 years, the blaze-faced bay has made audiences laugh at his equine perspective on everything from horse flies to flying lead changes. Everybody sees their own horses’ antics in him.”
Regina and Jean talk about Fergus, but they also talk about Jean—her start as an artist, the various interests she’s pursued, and the future of her beloved Fergus.
One thing is certain: with her shelves filled with awards and accolades, Jean and her Fergus will continue to be recognized and enjoyed worldwide!
Thank you, Jean, for bringing relatable humor to the lives of equestrians everywhere!

Like many equestrians, Regina has gazed upon equine art and thought, “What a beautiful picture. I’d love to own that.” Yet, she hasn’t felt educated enough about art to actually whip out the credit card and take it home. After all, no one wants to make a mistake when purchasing art! Regina sought the advice of Juliet Harrison, owner of the Equis Art Gallery in Red Hook, New York.
Here's what Regina has learned. There’s no such thing as the wrong choice or making a mistake when selecting art. Juliet says, if it speaks to you, it is the correct choice.
The Equis Art Gallery is a special place because it’s all about the horse. There is something for everyone because the focus is on the horse and not the equestrian discipline. Drafts, hunter/jumpers, stock horses, ponies, minis…you will find them all depicted in unique and beautiful ways. Plus, there are all price points at the gallery so you can test the waters of art ownership at a rate that’s comfortable for you. The internet and social media has allowed Juliet’s gallery’s offerings to be available for browsing at your fingertips. Can’t make it to New York? Juliet ships worldwide.
After interviewing Juliet, Regina garnered the courage to purchase her first piece of equine art. It’s a painting (acrylic on a Canvas Board) called “Windy Pony” by artist Kelly Moore. And she hasn’t regretted a single minute of the purchase! Regina encourages you to take the jump into the art world and invest in what makes you happy!

The purpose of Ponysodes is to create a place to celebrate our first ponies. Our goal is to honor first ponies and memorialize them before their stories are lost. Every pony deserves to have his or her story told.
This is the story of Popcorn, who is remembered and loved by Christy Landwehr.
Heather and Marley love Pie.
Like, legit, they love their new adventures with their new horse, “We Love Pie!”
Lynn and Regina loved hearing about the ins and outs of the hunter/jumper world.
In this episode, Heather talks about her experience as a pleasure horseperson who went to the hunter/jumper segment of our industry. Heather and Marley are testing the waters and succeeding in this whole new horse world.
Hair nets, daily horse baths with soap, daily tack cleaning, no showmanship classes, no trip to the show office on arrival, unique show class order, and on and on are the new norms in their horse show world.
We’re all the same as horse people. And yet, our worlds can be so totally different! It’s fun!

We all know that one dog year is equal to 7 human years. But how does it work with our horses and ponies? This week, Regina, Lynn, and Heather are together discussing horse-years-to-human-years. You’ll discover why our gangly 2-year-olds remind us of awkward human pre-teens!
Regina also shares the Top 10 oldest horses on record. Did you know that a horse named Old Billy was 62 years old when he died? Can you believe that?
Fun Fact: Regina’s parents still have a pony born on their farm in 1988. Netherland Roamer will be 36 years old in 2024, so she needs to be added to the list!

The Cheff Center was founded in 1969 as the first therapeutic riding center built especially for the purpose of serving those with special needs in North America. The Cheff Center’s efforts were groundbreaking and they continue to set the bar for creating an environment of horses helping people.As they discuss the various facets of equine assisted services, Emily shares the ins and outs of what the Cheff Center offers. In short, the Cheff Therapeutic Riding Center serves riders of all ages who have physical, emotional, or cognitive disabilities.But it’s so much more than that. It’s transformational.

How do you grow a 4-H equine program from 60 kids to 157 kids in two years? That’s the question Regina poses to Melissa Gordon, the Superintendent of Michigan’s Monroe County 4-H Horse and Pony Program, because Melissa and her team did it!
That’s a 162% increase in enrollment. That’s unbelievable. And that’s the kind of enrollment increase that our industry needs!
At a time when there is much discussion across the industry about declining youth numbers and barriers to entry (check out our April 22nd episode called “Preserving the Dream for the Next Generation with Emily Ream and Karen Waite”), Melissa’s story is one about innovation, dedication, and open conversations.
Melissa and her team have introduced innovative programs like the Equestrian Development Program, a leveling program, a Mini-Yearling Challenge program, a Stick Horse Project, and a Breyer Horse Project. Listen to find out more!
If you want to feel inspired about the possibilities for introducing youth to equines, you’re going to love this episode.
Here’s a final exciting update….. the Monroe County 4-H Horse and Pony Program just closed enrollment for next year… and enrollment jumped again—to 190 participants!

In this episode, Kathy Simmers, author of Jump the Moon and Posey’s Problem: A Pony Tale, joins Regina to discuss the true stories behind her heartwarming books. Kathy also gives us a preview for her new book about Pickles, another real-life pony!
Kathy’s journey as an author began after her daughter’s beloved lesson pony, Me Too, was sold out from under her at a horse show. Years later, as an adult, Kathy’s daughter set out on a quest to find the long-lost Me Too and, finally, bring her beloved pony home. Kathy knew that this remarkable story about Me Too needed to be told and Jump the Moon was published.
Just like Jump the Moon, Posey’s Problem: A Pony Tale is based on a real pony. As we all know, when a kid outgrows their pony, the pony is usually sent off to another kid. The pony doesn’t have a choice. Kathy wondered, “What is it like from the pony’s perspective?” As Kathy says, Posey has left a piece of her heart with each kid.
This episode - and Kathy’s books - will touch your heart.

Also, where do we send those interested in getting to know horses? Should amateurs be able to judge? How do we get youth involved in 4-H, in open horse shows, in equine-focused summer camps, and so on?You are not going to want to miss listening to this episode!

If you're a horse owner, then this topic is likely very near and dear to your... pocketbook?In today's episode, Heather sits down with Mitch and Taylor Fabus of Fabus Farms in Ovid, Michigan, to talk about the hay business from the farmer's perspective. We all know how important hay is to our animals, but what can we do to have a good relationship with our hay farmer to ensure the best for our horses? We'll discuss how even knowing, or not knowing, what size trailer can fit into your driveway can significantly impact your hay farmer's day.

In this episode, Regina introduces Lynn and Heather to koumiss (aka kumis, kumiss, kumys)!
What is koumiss, you may wonder? Well, it is none other than fermented mare’s milk! Yup. That’s correct. Koumiss is a light alcoholic beverage. It has been described as both sour and sweet. Those who love its taste consider it refreshing!
Regina shares her research on koumiss and its availability today. (Disclaimer: we do not encourage you to run out to the barn and take a sample from one of your lactating mares).
Perhaps you’ll be fortunate enough to take a swig of koumiss someday. If you do, you must share what you think!

She has endured 20 surgeries and a mountain of physical challenges.

This episode is crappy.It’s crappy because it’s all about manure. Horse manure. It smells perfect for Regina, Lynn, and Heather but not so much for others.The co-hosts each have their manure management system (Regina won’t stop singing the praises of her Millcreek Spreader). Yet, manure disposal can be a complicated topic for some horse owners. No matter what, it’s something that we all must deal with.Today, we have equipment and knowledge. In the past, large cities like New York had a real problem. Lynn shares her research and, subsequently, traumatizes Regina and Heather with the realities of manure management of yesteryear.To learn more about this episode:(00:15 - 00:49) The Scoop on Horse Poop(03:27 - 05:23) Memories of Horse Show Trailer Smells(13:28 - 14:28) Memories of Weekly Stall Cleaning(19:37 - 20:47) Urban Sanitation in the Past(25:07 - 26:30) New York City Drainage Engineer Reforms
In this episode, Regina sits down with Traci Bousman. Traci has been the year-end amateur champion with PtHA for the last few years with her special partner, Snoopy (AKA Vested Sensation). However, she had one big goal for 2023. Traci wanted to win the all-around title at the 2023 Pinto World Championship show.
However, on the night of June 17, Tulsa, Oklahoma, was ravaged by storms with winds of over 100 mph. The Pinto World Championship show was in full swing at Tulsa Expo Center and was forced to cancel before finishing all events. Feeling disappointed but grateful that everyone stayed safe, Traci and Snoopy left Tulsa, pivoted, and set their sights on winning the all-around at the Color Breed Congress. Mission accomplished!
Throughout the year, Traci weighed the pros and cons of retiring Snoopy. With nothing left to prove and after a hugely successful CBC, Traci decided it was time for Snoopy to enjoy 2024 and beyond as a retired boy.
With the decision made, Traci announced that she was starting an exciting new chapter for herself. Traci is embarking on a new career as a clinician and coach. Traci is ready to share her knowledge. And our industry will be better for it!
Congratulations to Traci Bousman and Vested Sensation on a long and highly successful career! Happy retirement, Snoopy!

Three years and six months ago, Lynn was referring to the podcast as “that blog thing that Gina wants to do.” Now, the team is celebrating their 3rd ANNIVERSARY! In this episode, Heather asks Regina and Lynn to reflect on how it all started.
One thing is clear, the HIP team’s work derives from a strong appreciation and passion for the industry. What’s unique about their podcast is that it is all-encompassing in the industry, not just stock horses, hunter/jumpers, cutters, or driving minis. It’s not just about showing, or judges, or trends. It’s about a wide range of topics and lived experiences. It’s about all things equine. There is something for everyone. The co-hosts are grateful to have captured the stories they’ve documented and are eager to record the stories they have yet to tell.
The co-hosts talk about where they’ve been, the projects they are working on now, and their big goals for the future. You’ll hear the enthusiasm in their voices as they discuss their podcast and the legacy they are leaving in the industry where they have spent their entire lives.

This week on the podcast, Heather discusses her first-hand experience with hosting winter clinics at her farm. Based on her desire to keep learning, she recognized a need in the industry and decided to fill it. The clinics she’s hosted have provided DYI-ers access to local trainers who may otherwise be unavailable. Heather’s clinics have sold out.
The co-hosts also discuss the pros/cons of clinics, the lure and expense of private lessons, whether trainers should feel obligated to work with others outside of their client list, and an exploration as to how we can start funneling new people to our stock horse industry. They all agree that strong youth programs are the foundation of the future of the equine industry. The question is, “Where can exhibitors or prospective equestrians go to gain or expand their knowledge?”

The foal you’ve been dreaming about and planning for has lost its mother. A foal can become an orphan for a number of reasons, but there is one certainty: an orphaned foal is fragile, and time is of the essence.
In this episode, Lynn interviews Bronwyn Watts of ColdSpring Nurse Mares of Ocala, Florida. ColdSpring Nurse Mares provides an ethical solution in the nurse mare industry, providing a second career for mares who are no longer broodmare sound or are at an age where they cannot carry their own foal. The nurse mares at ColdSpring love their babies and set the foals up for success in whatever they are destined to be—no bucket babies or throw-away foals.
This episode will leave you cheering for Bronwyn, her precious mares, and the foals that need them.

Pre-purchase exams. It’s hard to know what to do… where to do it, and when to do it! What’s the financial risk you’re willing to accept? Are you getting these PPEs done to decide whether you’ll buy the horse, or are you paying for a PPE with an eye towards effective maintenance after the purchase?
Heather, Lynn, and Regina share their experiences, concerns, and rationales for why they did/did not order a PPE on the horses they purchased.
Always remember: Buying the horse is the least expensive part of ownership.

A few days after interviewing Vicki Croghan Pflasterer about growing up in the family that owned the versatile paint stallion Fawago King, the stallion was named one of the 2024 APHA Hall of Fame inductees. Regina couldn’t believe her good fortune to capture the story of Fawago King at such an exciting time.
Fawago King, a “sweetheart of a stallion,” was a 1971 sorrel overo stallion best known as a prolific sire of all-around performers. He was owned and loved by the family of Donald and Carolyn Croghan of Schuyler, Nebraska. As their daughter Vicki shares, owning a horse like Fawago King changed their lives for the good.

If there is one piece of Western wear that has become the ultimate symbol of the American cowboy, it's the cowboy hat. Like all Western wear, hats were made to be as tough as a trail and start off as accessories purchased based purely on function, rather than fashion. And that is what Lynn and Regina are talking about in this episode: Western Hats and the Stetson Influence. A huge thanks to our sponsor Purple Power Animal Nutrition! Mentioned in this episode:

Every equestrian has heard at least a few horse proverbs if they've been in the industry long enough. Horse proverbs are short pieces of general advice that are usually based on truth or folklore.

And on this episode of the Horse Industry Podcast Lynn and Regina are going to share 15 horse proverbs with you, but also see how many they recognize. Listen along and see how many you recognize too!

Listeners, the topic Regina and Lynn are discussing on today’s episode is a serious one. The story they share is about a beautiful young woman who was actually stalked and murdered. But the hard part about this story is that it happened at her horse barn. For many horse people, the barn is a sanctuary. A place to get lost in thoughts while doing chores, and that may be why this story hits so close to home. By sharing Gracie’s story, the hope is to bring awareness and prevent other tragic losses.

Fun fact, did you know you can cross a horse and a zebra? You can! It’s called a Zorse.
And speaking of Zebras, on this episode of the Horse Industry Podcast, Lynn and Regina are discussing the fascinating story about a dazzle of zebras currently loose in Maryland, just 20 miles Southeast of Washington, DC. That’s right, there are zebras galloping on highways and spooking drivers just miles from one of the busiest areas in the US. How did the zebras get loose, and how are authorities planning on catching them? Lynn and Regina answer those questions and more in this episode.

In this episode of On the Road with Regina, Regina sits down with Horse Industry Researcher Alyssa Logan. Alyssa is a PhD candidate at Michigan State University studying Equine Exercise Physiology.
Regina and Alyssa talk about the cutting edge research she’s doing and how it will impact the horse industry as a whole. Her graduate research focuses on the impact that exercise and management have on equine bone and joint health. Alyssa has special interest in management and exercise of performance horses. Before her academic career, she had years of varied experience riding and showing horses. Growing up in Oakland County, MI, Alyssa showed with her local 4-H club and equestrian team, through which she found a love of pattern classes. In academic and professional horseman capacities, Alyssa works to combine scientific evidence as well as the realistic desires of the horse industry to explore methods of exercise and management which will lead to healthy careers for performance horses.

Regina and Lynn have delved into the dark side of the horse industry and they have been shocked at the amount of stories out there.
Unfortunately, countless stories about fraud, accompanied by ill-gotten financial gains, seized horse properties, as well as high dollar horses are nothing new in the equine industry in recent years. In fact, there have been at least two high profile criminal cases involving federal horse seizures and interestingly, both have ties to the American Quarter Horse Association.
Today, Regina and Lynn are discussing those stories in this second part of Horse Industry Crimes.

Lynn and Regina are back again with Part 2 of the Chincoteague Island Ponies episode. And just in case you were wondering, Misty and Stormy are still sitting on their desk a week later for this episode.
Lynn and Regina have had a ton of fun talking about these ponies. Last week, they discussed the two different islands, how the ponies got to the islands, and the auction that happens every spring where you can purchase your very own Misty or Stormy. They have even started a coin jar to start saving to buy their own ponies.
So this week they are going to talk about the story of Misty of Chincoteague as well as the family that raised her and the author of the book that purchased, wrote and made Misty famous. Let’s dive into Part 2.

Raise your hand if you had a Misty and Stormy figurine from Chincoteague Island growing up? Both Lynn and Regina read and loved the books which is not a surprise since they were horse/pony obsessed, and still are. So it would only make sense that they would record an episode about the ponies of Chincoteague Island.
This is the first of two episodes about this most beloved story. In this first part they will cover the two herds of Island ponies, some of the backstory, and fact-based history. And then the second one, airing next week is all about Misty.
Head to the basement or up to the attic, pull out those dusty book covers and Misty figurines, we’re heading back to our childhoods as we dive into this nostalgic story about all of our favorite ponies.

The band is back together in this second episode about 6666’s Ranch in Texas. Lynn & Regina start the episode by wondering, how does one ever cover the ranch and everything that goes along with it completely? They aren’t sure so there may be part three and part four to this episode. If you haven’t yet go back and listen to Part 1 before you jump into this episode where Lynn and Regina discuss the Anne’s of the Ranch, fondly known as Miss Anne and Little Anne, Anne Marion. Including her philanthropic contributions (that’s a mouthful) to the Ranch, Fort Worth, and the Southwest.
And Lynn touches on the topic of all the horses of the ranch: performance horses, race horses, cutting horses, and ranch horses.

Lynn is still on the road this week and in this episode she is sitting down with elite roper, horse trainer, cowboy and entrepreneur, Tater Lux.
When Regina and Lynn started the Horse Industry Podcast, they wanted to make sure that they had diversity in their topics but also in their guests they have on the show. That means they’re going to cover the pleasure horse industry, the cutting horse industry and they’re even going to cover some Rodeo, beginning with today’s episode.
Tater and Lynn discuss stories from Tater’s youth, including his claim to fame at the age of 14, how he lost a finger (you read that correctly) his Sophomore year of college, the World Series of Roping in Las Vegas, Tater’s first pony and more.
Get ready, this episode is all about bulls and blood, and dust and mud, and the roar of a Sunday crowd.
Lynn is back on the road this week in Bristow, Oklahoma at Flying C-Bar Ranch. Her special guest-host today is Bruce Colclasure.
Bruce, along with his wife, Denise and daughter, Cheyanne own and operate the Flying C-Bar Ranch. Bruce has 45 plus years of horse industry experience. He is a judge, a trainer and an exhibitor. He’s trained multiple world champions in multiple different disciplines; cutting, halter, reining, roping, western pleasure, you name it. They've exhibited AQHA, Pinto, Paint, Appaloosa, Palomino, Buckskin, and even an Arabian cutter.
In this episode Bruce shares with Lynn, and listeners, some of his most memorable experiences including cutting horses on the White House lawn, a meeting in the Oval Office and movie star customers.
Regina and Lynn are back in the same state and in the same studio for today’s episode. And they couldn’t think of a better episode to bring to you while together than this episode about the history of the horse industry and specifically the 6666 Ranch in Texas. Lynn became intrigued about the 6666 logo that she kept running across every time that she would go to a cutting and then Regina got interested and decided to check into the 6666 Ranch. And the next thing they know they’re buying swag (you’ll have to listen in to see what they got). In today’s episode they discuss the history behind the ranch, how the logo came to be, and why the ranch is currently for sale. They even left in a blooper for your enjoyment. Enjoy the first of what they hope will be many episodes about this legendary ranch.

Regina and Lynn are back again this week with another episode from their On the Road Series.
While Lynn was in Oklahoma chatting with Cheyanne (go listen to last week’s episode if you haven’t yet) Regina was with their dear friend, Angela Shiery.

*Note: while Regina mentions that she and Angela were 'on the road' and 'in the car' they were not actually driving while recording this episode but were safely parked in a parking lot.
In this bonus episode Regina and Lynn are discussing the not-so-glamorous, and downright gross parts of the horse industry. From boogers to bugs to beans (you'll just have to listen) you'll be laughing, nodding your head, and probably saying "ew, gross".
On this week’s podcast episode Lynn is by herself, and Regina is back in Michigan interviewing their friend, Angela Shiery regarding her Winning Details, Facebook page. (Come back next week to hear that interview!)
We’re calling these episodes On The Road, and will feature experts, and friends from the Horse Industry that we will interview while we are on the road.
In today’s episode Lynn is at one of her favorite places, The B&D Cowboy Depot, in Bristol, Oklahoma with her dear friend Cheyanne Colclasure. They sit down and discuss how the Cowboy Depot boutique came to be, how Lynn came to upgrade her closet (hint, it has to do with a bottle of wine, Facebook and the pandemic) and all things Cowboy Fashion.

They share their favorite Facebook Page and how they’ve used social media to connect with those they’ve lost touch with over the years, and also met and connected with new friends over pictures and memories.
