We also check in on Janis, our VERY pregnant mini horse (329 days and counting!), and I show you what signs I’m looking for as we wait for her to foal. 🐎👶 This episode is full of laughs, sweet stories, and a lot of behind-the-scenes chaos — just how we like it here. 💬 Let me know in the comments if you want Rachel back on the show, and what animal YOU think we should add to the farm next! (She votes capybara 😅) 📍 Chapters 00:00 Welcome + Episode Intro 00:40 Janice the Mini Horse — 329 Days Pregnant! 03:18 Meet My Barn Manager, Rachel Hadley 05:00 Flexispot Ad Break 07:00 Facebook Q&A with Rachel 11:20 Does Rachel Have Horses of Her Own? 13:02 The Day “Cool” Passed — Rachel’s Job Interview Story 17:07 What Is a “Chrome” Horse? 20:25 A Surprise Call with Dr. Matthew 25:18 Rachel’s Past Life as a Hairdresser 30:01 How Rachel Ended Up in Tennessee 35:33 What Crazy Animal Should We Get Next? 38:00 Rachel’s Least Favorite Part of the Job 41:02 Wrapping Up + Final Thoughts #horses #foalingseason #animalcare #minihorse #goats #farmanimals #homesteading #behindthescenes #KatchingUpWithKatie #horsefarm #barnlife #funnyanimals #minifoal #ranchlife #animalbabies #farmlife ▶Check out my new merch: https://katievanslyke.net/collections/new ▶▶DIGITAL DOWNLOADS: https://katievanslyke.net/collections/digital-downloads =================================================================== ▶▶▶Connect With Me!
