This is Episode 27 of Season 3. I decided to do something a bit different with this episode. While I\\u2019m mostly a journalist, I have had some fun dabbling a bit with fiction. This story was published in my first book A Rider\\u2019s Reader. You can find it exclusively in the Cayuse Communication library. Scroll to the bottom.\\xa0

I think it\\u2019s a good one for Mother\\u2019s Day. If you enjoy it, let me know.

A few notes from sponsors:

We have several discounts going on. Check out Best Horse Practices sister site, NickerNews, for codes to stuff, including: Bobo\\u2019s Bars for your saddle bag. Zealios for your glamping. And Chill Angel, for your apres ride.

Our title sponsor is Lucerne Farms, producers of quality forage feeds.\\xa0 Forage is chopped, packaged hay. Sometimes it\\u2019s alfalfa, sometimes timothy, sometimes blended, and sometimes with a touch of molasses. Always scrumptious. After hay and grass, it\\u2019s pretty much the best alternative and a great way to supplement feed for your hard keeper.

Big thanks to Redmond Equine and Pharm Aloe \\u2013 for generously sponsoring our podcast. Check out Pharm Aloe\\u2019s aloe pellets and Redmond\\u2019s Rock on a Rope. We think you\\u2019ll love \\u2018em.

Also thanks to Patagonia WorkWear for their continued support. Check out the all season vest or the light and soft but tough ranch jacket \\u2013 two great tops for this time of year. Both are made of hemp which has an already-broken in feel while also being super durable.

Give us feedback, suggest a topic or guest, or make a donation and you\\u2019ll be automatically entered to win one of two free Patagonia WorkWear items that we give away every month. Don\\u2019t forget that Redmond Equine is sending a complimentary syringe of Daily Gold Stress Relief to everyone who drops a tip in our donation jar. Pretty cool and a $15 value. If you get something of value from our podcast, please consider making a donation. We sure would appreciate it.\\xa0

That\\u2019s it. Another episode in the can and out of the barn. Thanks for listening, y\\u2019all!
