    #144 Showing Horses is Always Evolving - Justin Hussey & Mark Barie

    This episode was a true round table conversation with Mark and Kyle, joined by Mark Barie and Justin Hussey. The group sat down to talk openly about how the draft horse industry has changed over the years and what those changes have meant for breeders, exhibitors, and buyers. They dug into how horse sales have evolved, what today’s buyers are looking for, and how technology, marketing, and shifting priorities have reshaped the way horses are bought and sold. It’s an honest conversation with plenty of perspective from people who have seen the industry from multiple angles and lived through the changes firsthand. Thank you to our sponsors of Episode #143!

    #141 A Different Perspective on Judging - Bret Day & Smith Lilly

    This episode we sit down with two well known judges from the fine harness world, Bret Day and Smith Lilly. They join Kyle and Mark for an honest conversation about how their judging process really works, what they are looking for in the ring, and how decisions get made when things are tight. We also spend some time comparing the fine harness side to the draft horse industry and where the two worlds line up and where they don’t. Good insight, good conversation, and a few moments that might make you rethink how you watch a class from the rail. Thank you to our sponsors of Episode #141!

    #140 Youth Classic Series Roundtable

    This episode is a true roundtable talk focused on the Youth Classic Cart Series and the results of the recent membership survey. Kyle and Mark sit down with Doyle Dingman, Enos Yoder and Greg Bourbonnais to walk through what the survey asked, what members had to say, and what themes kept popping up in the responses. We cover what’s working well, where there’s room to grow, and how the feedback could help shape the future of the Youth Classic Cart Series. It’s an honest, respectful conversation that keeps the focus where it belongs—on the kids, the families, and the long-term success of the program. If you filled out the survey, this one’s for you. If you didn’t, it’s still worth a listen to hear where things stand and where they may be headed next. Thank you to our sponsors of Episode #140!

    #139 The Wagon Master - Jake Schut & EHV Update

    This week I sat down with Jake Schut, the guy who can build a draft horse wagon to match your dreams. Jake talks about how he learned the craft, what goes into building a rig that can hold up in the ring and on the road, and what it’s been like showing with Monte West Clydesdales. We also check in with Dr. Chad Zubrod for an update on EHV-1. He breaks down what horse owners need to know right now, what symptoms to watch for, and the best steps to keep your barn protected. Nothing dramatic, nothing sugar-coated. Just clear info from someone who knows his stuff. Thank you to our sponsors of Episode #139!

    #138 Working Hard, Making a Living - Richard Yoder

    Today we’ve got a fun one. We’re sitting down with Richard Yoder — a guy who seems like he was born with a mic in one hand and a lead rope in the other. Richard’s built a standout career as both a horse trainer and an auctioneer, and he makes juggling the two look way easier than it should be. He’s spent years bringing out the best in horses and matching them with the right homes, and if you’ve ever heard him on the auction block… well, you know he can keep a crowd tuned in and on their toes. We’re going to dig into how he got started, the lessons he’s learned along the way, and what it really takes to succeed in two worlds that move fast, get loud, and never slow down for anybody.

    #137 A High School Businessman - The Kevin Flory Family

    Today we’re sitting down with the Flory family — Kevin, his wife, and their kids, Grant and Lauren — who’ve made an exciting return to the show ring with their  Belgian horses. For the Florys, this isn’t just about competition, it’s a family affair built on hard work, teamwork, and a lifelong passion for draft horses. Kevin’s story is impressive in its own right — as a high school student, he was already running his own business with employees on the payroll. That same drive and determination shows up today in how his family works together to build and grow their Belgian program and maintain their family business. We’ll talk about what brought them back to the show ring, the lessons they’ve learned along the way, and how they balance business, family, and a whole lot of horsepower.
