Can you AI a mini horse or donkey? What happens if someone finds your dog years later? Let’s talk. 🐶🧬
In this episode of Katching Up With Katie, the full crew is finally back at the table — and we’re diving into everything from breeding updates to big ethical questions.
We’re breaking down how artificial insemination (AI) works in miniature horses and mini donkeys, and why it’s not always as straightforward as it is with full-size horses. Katie shares what it’s like working with Tennessee Equine and Dr. Emily to AI horses like Karen and Regina — and what makes it so tricky (hint: it’s not just the size).
We also get into a heated debate: if your dog goes missing and someone else finds them… years later… do you take the dog back? Or leave them with the new family? 👀
Plus: geocaching, couch giveaways, and what’s next for Penelope and Denver in the summer horse show circuit.
