Ep. 29 - Yard Buddies, the real VIP's of every horse yard | Equine'n'Wine Podcast

Every yard has them… the unofficial mascots, the tiny supervisors, the escape artists, and the animals who somehow become just as much a part of yard life as the horses themselves.

In this week’s light-hearted episode of Equine’n’Wine, we’re celebrating the wonderful chaos of yard buddies — from loyal yard dogs and opinionated cats to mischievous goats, donkeys with attitude, and every unexpected character in between.

💬 We chat about:
• The classic “head groom” yard dog who oversees everything
• Hiding cats as children!
• Donkeys with strong personalities (and criminal tendencies)
• Goats who genuinely believe they are horses
• Why these animals become such an important part of yard life

Featuring hilarious listener stories including:
• A donkey called Kevin who stole an entire sandwich
• A yard dog who wandered into the collecting ring and began managing traffic during a clear round

As always, it’s a mix of horse chat, laughs, and the kinds of stories every horse person instantly understands.

💡Lorna’s Golden Nugget:
“Castrate your male goats!!”

So pour a glass, settle in, and prepare to feel very grateful for the weird and wonderful creatures that make stable life unforgettable.
