Why Does My Horse Hate Me? | Q&A

Foaling season hasn’t officially started yet… and honestly, I did not see that coming 😅

In this episode of Katching Up With Katie, we’re in that weird lull before the floodgates open, so we’re sitting down to answer your questions. From foaling timelines and freeze branding horses, to breeding decisions, broodmare retirement plans, show rules for mares and stallions, and even which horses would survive a trail ride with the crew — nothing is off the table.

We also talk about:

Why foaling can sometimes take longer than expected

Freeze branding vs hot branding and why breeders choose it

How mares and stallions are managed at horse shows

What happens when broodmares retire

The hardest horses I’ve ever had to send off

Mini cows, safety stories, and a little bit of chaos (as always)

These Q&A episodes let us slow down, catch up, and go a little deeper — so let me know in the comments if you like this format and what questions you want answered next.

If you want to see things first and catch all the behind-the-scenes:

I post more photos and updates on Facebook

Videos and clips go out on TikTok and Instagram

And we’re posting 120–150 Snapchats a day, which disappear after 24 hours 👀

Thanks for hanging out with us, and stay tuned — foaling season is coming.
