We talk about his life as a dad of two and even celebrate his very first successful ear of homegrown corn. 🌽 Then we shift our focus to our upcoming horse show and everything that's happening before competition day. We talk about horse-and-rider matchups, what everyone will be riding, how the different horses compare, and why the costume contest might end up being just as competitive as the classes themselves. 😂 We also look ahead to the NSBA World Show, where Denver, Kennedy, Hollywood, and Penelope could all be competing. From planning classes to discussing the yearling auction, future cattle sales, and everything we're looking forward to at the show, there's no shortage of excitement. Between horse show prep, stories from my childhood, and plenty of laughs along the way, this episode has a little bit of everything. Let me know in the comments, who do you think has the best chance of winning our horse show competition: Nate and Kennedy, Matt and Ethel, or Rachel and Rikki? #KatchingUpWithKatie #HorseVlog #FarmLife #Equestrian #WesternPleasure #NSBAWorldShow 00:00 Welcome Back 00:33 Matt Returns From Paternity Leave 08:48 Nate's First Riding Lesson with Kennedy 10:42 Running Springs Horse Show 24:36 NSBA Horse Show Prep 31:04 Horse Auctions, Yearlings & Farm Talk 44:00 Katie's Childhood Horse, Leroy ▶Check out my new merch: https://katievanslyke.net/collections/new ▶▶DIGITAL DOWNLOADS: https://katievanslyke.net/collections/digital-downloads ========================================================== ▶▶▶Connect With Me!

    An Injury We Did Not Expect

    We are back and Katie has bangs now and the humidity has already won 😂 This week's Katching Up With Katie covers a lot of ground. We start with nine inches of rain in July, nighttime turnout anxiety, and the eternal struggle of weather apps that lie. Then we get into the horse health updates because there is a lot going on. The flex test conversation is a good one, Wally has a cannon bone fracture from playing too hard with Waylon, Weezy is almost back from her suspensory injury, and Blondie got a checkup that went well and also included a compliment on her booty. Then we get into the can in the mug situation because apparently that needs to be addressed. Fantasy Foaling is coming back for year two and it is going to be way better this time with a third party platform, user profiles, and a leaderboard. Plus the year one winner is coming to the farm this week for a full Running Springs experience. We also cover the English versatility clinic coming up, Kennedy's mane debate, hunt caps vs helmets, and AMHR Nationals.

    Planning A Horse Show... This Is Already Getting Out Of Hand

    You never know where the conversation is going to go when Rebecca joins me for an episode of Katching Up With Katie! 😂🐴 From planning our horse show to talking workouts, books, TV shows, and plenty of random side quests, this episode is full of laughs and behind-the-scenes conversations. We dive deeper into all the planning for our upcoming horse show, including classes, judges, fun game ideas, and some pretty questionable wardrobe suggestions. Nate also shares how his first western pleasure riding lesson went, and we even chat about our plans to build a home gym so we can stay fit for riding, showing horses, and keeping up with life on the farm. These episodes are always some of my favorites because they feel like you're just hanging out with us, listening in on the conversations we'd be having anyway. I love getting to slow down, catch up, and share a little more of the everyday moments that don't always make it into the regular farm vlogs. 💕 I'd love to hear from y'all! What games or classes would you want to see at our subscriber horse show? And what kinds of videos would you like to see during this slower season on the farm? Let me know in the comments!

    I Guess We're Having A Horse Show?

    Get ready... because this might be one of the funniest challenges we've ever attempted on the farm! 🐴😂 In today's Katching Up With Katie, we're officially planning our very own Running Springs horse show, and somehow it keeps getting bigger with every idea we throw out! From drawing horses at random to debating judges, prizes, costumes, and even a full versatility challenge, this episode is packed with laughs, behind-the-scenes planning, and just enough chaos to make me wonder what we've gotten ourselves into. 💕 We're talking western pleasure, patterns, halter, costumes, lessons, trophies, belt buckles, and all the details that go into creating a horse show from scratch. We even draw horses to see who everyone will be riding! 🤠 One of my favorite parts of this episode was reminiscing about my childhood horse show days, costume classes, and all the wild projects I somehow convinced my family to help me with. It makes me even more excited to see this challenge come to life over the next few months. I'd love to hear from y'all! What should we call this horse show? Who do you think ended up with the best horse draw? And what costume ideas do you have for everyone?

    What Happens When No One Is Watching??

    Some weeks are packed with horses, and other weeks are packed with stories... and somehow this one has a little bit of everything! 😂🐴 This week we're catching up on everything that's been happening around the farm, from surviving Tennessee's crazy summer heat and switching to early morning barn chores, to getting ready for NSBA World, gardening adventures, merch, and plenty of completely random tangents along the way. ☀️ We're chatting about what life has looked like behind the scenes lately, how we're adjusting our schedules to keep both the horses and our team comfortable during the hottest part of the year, and what you can expect from all the exciting content coming soon. Of course, it wouldn't be Katching Up With Katie without plenty of laughs, unexpected conversations, and a few stories that somehow spiral into places none of us planned! I always love these episodes because they're a chance to slow down, catch up with y'all, and share the little moments that don't always make it into the regular farm vlogs. Thanks for hanging out with us each week—it truly feels like we're just sitting around chatting with friends. 💕 I'd love to hear from y'all! Are you an early morning person or a night owl?

    We Are At Our Limit... | Horse Show Hangover

    This week on Katching Up With Katie, we're catching up after an incredible weekend at the Roan World Show! 🏆🐴 I'm excited to share all about Kennedy's World Championship, the ups and downs of showing, and why this show meant so much to me. We're also chatting about what makes the Roan World Show different from other major horse shows, how Quarter Horse and color registries work, and clearing up some of the questions I've been seeing. Of course, it wouldn't be Katching Up With Katie without plenty of random rabbit trails along the way—from babies and horse people to vacation ideas, future trail rides, and some fun behind-the-scenes stories from the farm. I'd love to hear from you! What's your dream horse event to attend?

    We Needed To Clear The Air...

    Life has been BUSY lately, but we're finally sitting down for another Katching Up With Katie! 💕 My husband is on the podcast today, and we're catching up on everything from his Canada bear hunt to farm projects, Dungeons & Dragons, future dreams for Running Springs, and answering some of your funniest questions. We talk about what life has really been like behind the scenes, how our farm and business have grown over the years, what it's like balancing social media with real life, and even put Jonathan to the test to see how many horses he can name under pressure! I always love these slower, more personal episodes because they give us a chance to catch up beyond the horses and foals.
