Show Notes
In this week's episode, we're putting the reins on the often-overlooked discipline of pleasure driving, diving into what makes a great pleasure driving horse and the intricacies of the show cart. Whether you're a seasoned driver or curious about getting hitched for the first time, we've got you covered! And because it's Poop Week, we have a very special segment just for you where we'll get into the dirty details of composting horse manure. Learn how to turn what was once a chore into a valuable resource for your garden or farm, and don't let your "black gold" go to waste! 💩♻️
