In this episode, we talk about adult learning. It\\u2019s a topic suggested by Natalie in Montana and we got help bouncing it around with Liz and Chris in California.
Natalie is working on a ranch and taking riding lessons. She sees roping calves and doctored and asks: Can I ever succeed at that level?
As it happens, co-host Maddy Butcher was doing some adult learning with a few lessons with Katrin Silva in Santa Fe. Katrin\'s book, Ride with Feel: A Guide for the Rest of Us\\xa0will be out soon!
Our title sponsor is Lucerne Farms, producers of quality forage feeds. \\xa0I talked with Hannah James the other day. She helps run Lucerne and was up in Aroostock County, near their fields. Aroostock County is better known as \\u201cthe county\\u201d in Maine. At over six thousand square miles, it is by far the biggest county east of the Mississippi.
It is a very busy time of year for a forage company and Hannah had to keep it short because there was so much to do. But she let me know that Lucerne continues to be super supportive of what we\\u2019re doing here AND of what we\\u2019re doing at the Best Horse Practices Summit, the non profit education conference in Kentucky this October. So thank you, Lucerne Farms.
We also thank Skratch Labs. If you\\u2019re sweating, you should be staying hydrated with Skratch labs powdered drinks. So much healthier than gatorade or the shady rainbow collection of colored, sweet sports drinks out there. Oh and they have drinks for after a big workout, too. Like chocolate milk, but better. Enter "besthorse25" and get 25 percent off your order.

Also, she said: keep your beginner\'s mind.
