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/ne…
