I also quiz my best friend on how well she knows my horses, goats, donkeys, and mini cows 🐐 To wrap things up, I share a little surprise I’m really excited about and give an update on what’s coming next as foaling season continues. It’s a mix of exhaustion, laughter, and real farm life. Let me know in the comments how you did on the animal quiz, what your dream trip would be, and whether you think Raven is going to wait until the worst possible weather to have her baby 🤍 Chapters: 00:00 Foaling Season Has Us Exhausted 00:13 Welcoming a New Face to the Team 01:08 Foal Watch Update 04:21 Dungeons & Dragons on Foal Watch 06:01 Q&A Time 08:00 Dream Vacations 17:00 Why Slime Is a Parent’s Nightmare 19:03 Cooking, Budgeting, and Real Life 24:22 Animal Identification Quiz 31:53 A Little Surprise News 34:46 Wrap-Up #BigFarmHomestead #KatchingUpWithKatie #HorseVlog #FarmLife #Equestrian #BarnVlog #FoalWatch ▶Check out my new merch: https://katievanslyke.net/collections/new ▶▶DIGITAL DOWNLOADS: https://katievanslyke.net/collections/digital-downloads ========================================================== ▶▶▶Connect With Me!
