    I Think We're Getting Ahead Of Ourselves...

    A new mare, baby goats, and a foaling season that’s already looking a little wild… and somehow we still found time to plan Christmas. 🐴🎄 Welcome back to Katching Up With Katie! I’m sharing the story behind Pinky, the new mare coming to the farm, and why I couldn’t pass her up. We’re also catching up on Kennedy, our young horses’ first rides, and what it takes to keep everything moving around the barn. With 12 mares due during foaling season, plus mini horses, mini donkeys, and calves on the calendar, we may be spending a lot of nights on baby watch. Naturally, that leads us to planning D&D games, a possible Christmas special, and even a foal watch bluegrass band. Which are you most excited to follow next year: the foals, the mini cows, or the mini donkeys?

    I May Have Overreacted A Bit...

    Nate and Matt faced their horse show fears, while I finally did something I had been putting off for years! 🐴😂 In this episode of Katching Up With Katie, the guys recap their first attempts at riding their horse show patterns on Ethel. One of them walked away feeling much more confident…and the other may have had the opposite experience. We’re talking about what they learned, the struggle of keeping Ethel motivated, and how they’re feeling as the show gets closer. I’m also sharing an important update about Kennedy’s injury and why I decided not to take her to Congress. It’s a bittersweet change, but taking that pressure away gives Kennedy the time she needs to recover—and opens the door for us to begin a new chapter together. We also recap our trip to the AMHR Nationals, including showing Gretchen, watching all the incredible miniature horse classes, and discovering just how much fun driving a mini can be! Plus, I share what happened when I faced one of my biggest fears and returned to the dentist after seven or eight years. Let me know in the comments what questions you have or what you’d like to see us discuss next time! 💕 0:00 Welcome Back 0:57 Nate and Matt Recap Their Horse Show Lesson 10:20 Kennedy’s Injury and Our Change of Plans 15:50 Facing My Fear of the Dentist 30:09 Update on Our New Home Gym 31:53 AMHR Miniature Horse Nationals Recap #KatchingUpWithKatie #HorseVlog #FarmLife #Equestrian #MiniHorse #HorseShow ▶Check out my new merch: https://katievanslyke.net/collections/new ▶▶DIGITAL DOWNLOADS: https://katievanslyke.net/collections/digital-downloads ========================================================== ▶▶▶Connect With Me!

    My Husband Answered YOUR Questions!!

    My husband Jonathan is joining us to share what it’s really like being married to a horse girl! 🐴 😂 In this episode of Katching Up With Katie, Jonathan answers your questions about his very limited horseback riding history, whether we can convince him to take a lesson of his own, and what goes into bringing all of our wild farm ideas to life. We’re also sharing behind-the-scenes stories about building the new horse barn, why its design somehow ended up including chandeliers, and just how much the farm has grown over the past few years. We talk about the animals Jonathan would add to the farm, his favorite part of everything we’ve built together, and his opinion on our new barn kittens’ names, Ham and Cheese. We even get a little sentimental while discussing what we’re proud of, handling life in the public eye, and why I’ve always tried to stay in my own lane. 💕 Should Jonathan finally get back on a horse—and what questions should we ask him the next time he joins us? #KatchingUpWithKatie #HorseVlog #FarmLife #Equestrian #BarnVlog #HorseLife 0:00 Welcome Back 1:17 Naming Our New Barn Kittens Ham & Cheese 3:47 Who Should Ride at Our Horse Show? 6:58 Riding English for the First Time in Years 12:58 Farm Growth, Our Team & Building the New Barn 21:41 Marriage Advice for Non-Horse Husbands 27:00 Hobbies, Daylight Saving Time & Staying Out of Drama 36:28 75K Likes Challenge: Name Our Next Foal! ▶Check out my new merch: https://katievanslyke.net/collections/new ▶▶DIGITAL DOWNLOADS: https://katievanslyke.net/collections/digital-downloads ========================================================== ▶▶▶Connect With Me!

    Should We Kick Her Out For This?

    One riding lesson was all it took to send Matt and Nate into full-blown horse show panic. 😂🐴 In this episode of Katching Up With Katie, we’re talking about what Rachel’s lesson means for the competition, breaking down the horsemanship pattern, and figuring out how Rachel, Matt, and Nate can prepare for show day. What started as a fun little horse show is suddenly feeling a lot more like the Super Bowl! We also brainstorm fun horseback games, bonus-point challenges, and ways to keep the competition fair while everyone builds their riding skills. I truly think they’re all going to surprise themselves—and watching them learn, improve, and cheer each other on is my favorite part of this whole horse show adventure. 💕 Let me know in the comments which horse games we should add to their lessons! And do you like the idea of letting them earn bonus points before the show? #KatchingUpWithKatie #HorseVlog #FarmLife #Equestrian #HorseShow #westernriding 0:00 Welcome Back to Katching Up With Katie 0:47 Running Springs Horse Show Planning Recap 3:08 Breaking Down the Horsemanship Pattern 6:12 Matt's Competition Nerves 18:30 Rachel's Lesson Recap 22:12 Horse Show Bonus Points 25:22 Wrap Up ▶Check out my new merch: https://katievanslyke.net/collections/new ▶▶DIGITAL DOWNLOADS: https://katievanslyke.net/collections/digital-downloads ========================================================== ▶▶▶Connect With Me!

    We Need To Talk... | Addressing The World Show

    We’re finally home from the NSBA World Show, and I’m ready to talk about what went right, what went wrong, and what comes next. 🐴 In this episode of Katching Up With Katie, I’m giving you an honest recap of the highs, heartbreaks, and lessons from eleven days at the NSBA World Show. We’re talking about Kennedy’s incredible placings, why Penelope is taking time to mature, what happened with Denver’s performance halter title, and the split-second moment that disqualified Hollywood and me after one of our best western riding patterns yet. I’m also answering questions about fans attending horse shows, sharing some important horse show etiquette and boundaries, and looking ahead to everything coming next, from weaning foals and welcoming Bella’s goat babies to the AMHR Nationals and my first riding classes at the Congress in ten years! ✨ Let me know in the comments what questions you'd like us to answer in future episodes and who you would like to see join us next time! #HorseVlog #FarmLife #Equestrian #KatchingUpWithKatie #NSBAWorldShow #WesternRiding 0:00 – Welcome Back! 3:41 – Penelope's First NSBA World Show 7:08 – Denver's Halter Class Rule Mishap 10:12 – Hollywood's Heartbreaking Disqualification 14:54 – Western Riding Scoring Explained 22:24 – Horse Show Etiquette: Fans, Boundaries & Meet-Ups 32:50 – Farm Update & Congress Prep ▶Check out my new merch: https://katievanslyke.net/collections/new ▶▶DIGITAL DOWNLOADS: https://katievanslyke.net/collections/digital-downloads ========================================================== ▶▶▶Connect With Me!

    I Will NEVER Go To Vegas Like This Again...

    Sometimes the best trips are the ones where you do a whole lot of nothing. 😂 In this episode of Katching Up With Katie, I’m recapping my much-needed trip to Las Vegas — complete with Cirque du Soleil, way too much gelato, a little gambling, and temperatures that made me feel like I was standing inside an air fryer. We also somehow end up reminiscing about one of our favorite (and most chaotic) trips to Oregon, including wild horses, a very grumpy fishing guide, and a bear prank that went a little too far. Then Nate and Matt take us through their VERY fancy night out at a Michelin-star restaurant in Nashville, from a 14-course tasting menu to wine pairings and food so good it apparently brought them to tears. Meanwhile, I explain why my picky eating makes that entire experience sound equally fascinating and terrifying. And because we can never stay on one topic for long, we also get off on tangents about Dungeons & Dragons, making friends as adults, and plenty of other completely unexpected things along the way. Let me know in the comments which adventure you would choose: a relaxing Vegas getaway, a Michelin-star tasting menu, or a fishing trip in Oregon? 👀 #KatchingUpWithKatie #HorseVlog #FarmLife #Equestrian #FarmVlog #KatieVanSlyke 0:00 – Welcome Back 0:56 – How Was Vegas? 4:57 – Circus Shows & Vegas Heat 8:52 – Casino Nights & Gambling Talk 16:20 – Oregon Fishing Trip & the Bear Prank 22:38 – Date Night at a Michelin Star Restaurant 41:19 – The D&D Chef ▶Check out my new merch: https://katievanslyke.net/collections/new ▶▶DIGITAL DOWNLOADS: https://katievanslyke.net/collections/digital-downloads ========================================================== ▶▶▶Connect With Me!

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.

    An Injury We Did Not Expect

    We are back and Katie has bangs now and the humidity has already won 😂 This week's Katching Up With Katie covers a lot of ground. We start with nine inches of rain in July, nighttime turnout anxiety, and the eternal struggle of weather apps that lie. Then we get into the horse health updates because there is a lot going on. The flex test conversation is a good one, Wally has a cannon bone fracture from playing too hard with Waylon, Weezy is almost back from her suspensory injury, and Blondie got a checkup that went well and also included a compliment on her booty. Then we get into the can in the mug situation because apparently that needs to be addressed. Fantasy Foaling is coming back for year two and it is going to be way better this time with a third party platform, user profiles, and a leaderboard. Plus the year one winner is coming to the farm this week for a full Running Springs experience. We also cover the English versatility clinic coming up, Kennedy's mane debate, hunt caps vs helmets, and AMHR Nationals.

    Planning A Horse Show... This Is Already Getting Out Of Hand

    You never know where the conversation is going to go when Rebecca joins me for an episode of Katching Up With Katie! 😂🐴 From planning our horse show to talking workouts, books, TV shows, and plenty of random side quests, this episode is full of laughs and behind-the-scenes conversations. We dive deeper into all the planning for our upcoming horse show, including classes, judges, fun game ideas, and some pretty questionable wardrobe suggestions. Nate also shares how his first western pleasure riding lesson went, and we even chat about our plans to build a home gym so we can stay fit for riding, showing horses, and keeping up with life on the farm. These episodes are always some of my favorites because they feel like you're just hanging out with us, listening in on the conversations we'd be having anyway. I love getting to slow down, catch up, and share a little more of the everyday moments that don't always make it into the regular farm vlogs. 💕 I'd love to hear from y'all! What games or classes would you want to see at our subscriber horse show? And what kinds of videos would you like to see during this slower season on the farm? Let me know in the comments!

    I Guess We're Having A Horse Show?

    Get ready... because this might be one of the funniest challenges we've ever attempted on the farm! 🐴😂 In today's Katching Up With Katie, we're officially planning our very own Running Springs horse show, and somehow it keeps getting bigger with every idea we throw out! From drawing horses at random to debating judges, prizes, costumes, and even a full versatility challenge, this episode is packed with laughs, behind-the-scenes planning, and just enough chaos to make me wonder what we've gotten ourselves into. 💕 We're talking western pleasure, patterns, halter, costumes, lessons, trophies, belt buckles, and all the details that go into creating a horse show from scratch. We even draw horses to see who everyone will be riding! 🤠 One of my favorite parts of this episode was reminiscing about my childhood horse show days, costume classes, and all the wild projects I somehow convinced my family to help me with. It makes me even more excited to see this challenge come to life over the next few months. I'd love to hear from y'all! What should we call this horse show? Who do you think ended up with the best horse draw? And what costume ideas do you have for everyone?

    What Happens When No One Is Watching??

    Some weeks are packed with horses, and other weeks are packed with stories... and somehow this one has a little bit of everything! 😂🐴 This week we're catching up on everything that's been happening around the farm, from surviving Tennessee's crazy summer heat and switching to early morning barn chores, to getting ready for NSBA World, gardening adventures, merch, and plenty of completely random tangents along the way. ☀️ We're chatting about what life has looked like behind the scenes lately, how we're adjusting our schedules to keep both the horses and our team comfortable during the hottest part of the year, and what you can expect from all the exciting content coming soon. Of course, it wouldn't be Katching Up With Katie without plenty of laughs, unexpected conversations, and a few stories that somehow spiral into places none of us planned! I always love these episodes because they're a chance to slow down, catch up with y'all, and share the little moments that don't always make it into the regular farm vlogs. Thanks for hanging out with us each week—it truly feels like we're just sitting around chatting with friends. 💕 I'd love to hear from y'all! Are you an early morning person or a night owl?

    We Are At Our Limit... | Horse Show Hangover

    This week on Katching Up With Katie, we're catching up after an incredible weekend at the Roan World Show! 🏆🐴 I'm excited to share all about Kennedy's World Championship, the ups and downs of showing, and why this show meant so much to me. We're also chatting about what makes the Roan World Show different from other major horse shows, how Quarter Horse and color registries work, and clearing up some of the questions I've been seeing. Of course, it wouldn't be Katching Up With Katie without plenty of random rabbit trails along the way—from babies and horse people to vacation ideas, future trail rides, and some fun behind-the-scenes stories from the farm. I'd love to hear from you! What's your dream horse event to attend?

    We Needed To Clear The Air...

    Life has been BUSY lately, but we're finally sitting down for another Katching Up With Katie! 💕 My husband is on the podcast today, and we're catching up on everything from his Canada bear hunt to farm projects, Dungeons & Dragons, future dreams for Running Springs, and answering some of your funniest questions. We talk about what life has really been like behind the scenes, how our farm and business have grown over the years, what it's like balancing social media with real life, and even put Jonathan to the test to see how many horses he can name under pressure! I always love these slower, more personal episodes because they give us a chance to catch up beyond the horses and foals. Thank you all for supporting our little corner of the internet and making this community so special. 🐴💕 Let us know in the comments what questions you'd like us to answer in a future episode and if you're actually on board with the whole Ham and Cheese idea.

    My Best Friend Is Back...And I'm Telling Her EVERYTHING

    We just got back from Kentucky and I needed to debrief with my bestie so here we are 🐴 Dani has been behind the scenes at Running Springs for almost two years now and a lot of you have been asking about her so we figured it was time to bring her back on. We talk through how we met back when I was 16 through my old show horse Kalvin, how she ended up moving to Tennessee, and what she actually does to keep this whole operation from falling apart. Then we get into the Kentucky horse show deep dive because there was a lot to unpack. I showed three completely different horses in the same show and we break down what that is actually like, how Denver's first western pleasure class went, what Aaron discovered about Kennedy that kind of changed everything for us, and the very real differences between riding Hollywood, Denver, and Kennedy back to back. Piaffe in a western pleasure warm up pen. We did that. We also get into why western pleasure is actually a fantastic entry level discipline, and I break down the new AQHA level system for anyone who has been confused by the shift from novice to levels one, two, and three. If you have more questions about the horse show world or anything else you want Dani and I to cover, drop them in the comments because we would love to make this a regular thing.

    Catching Up With My Horse Trainer | Are We Ready For Lexington?

    Thanks to GoDaddy for sponsoring this video! Head to https://godaddy.yt.link/KXzrYuN to get a domain that unlocks everything you need to grow your business online. Stephanie is back on Katching Up With Katie and we have a lot to cover. We start with the story of how Katie got double barreled by Bobbi while trying to draw blood on a sick Rikki, which resulted in a bruise so bad that everyone on the property now has a photo of her butt. It is exactly what it sounds like. Then we get into viewer questions for Stephanie, talking through three months at Running Springs, who her favorite horses are, and what it is actually like starting a stud colt versus a gelding or filly. Wally gets a full segment because he deserves it. Stephanie also had a baby. Not a human baby. A little buckskin colt named Jimmy by Lazy Loper out of her mare Pinky and we talk through what the plan is for him. We also get into weaning season coming up, the Squirt vs Matt incident that Matt claims is getting more dramatic every year, Karen being overdue, and what it is going to take to get ready for Kentucky.

    AI Is Literally Making Stuff Up About Me...

    Getting back in the show pen as adults has been WAY more emotional than I expected 🐴💕 In this episode of Katching Up With Katie, my best friend Becca joins me to talk all about our first horse show back after years away from competing. From AQHA confusion and horse show memories to childhood horse chaos, and balancing horses with real adult life… we covered a little bit of everything. We dove into what it’s like returning to the show world with zero pressure, how different showing feels as adults, and some of the funniest horse show stories from when we were kids. Plus… y’all KNOW we had to end things by reacting to some absolutely wild AI-generated headlines and photos about me 🤣 There’s horses, friendship, motherhood, showing, nostalgia, and pure chaos all packed into this one. I honestly had the best time filming it and getting to sit down and reminisce with one of my oldest friends.

    I'm Back In Action...Am I Ready?

    We are back and my voice is barely holding on but we are pushing through because there is a LOT to catch up on 😅 First things first, Ocala is one week away and there is a mystery horse I am showing that y'all do not know about yet. Plus Denver just went and won his first class back fresh off breeding season like it was nothing, and Penelopey might be making her riding debut while we are there. No big deal. Just a lot happening. Then we get into your questions from the comments and honestly y'all came through with some good ones. We talk through everything going on with Maggie including the laminitis update, why we chose Gracie over a nurse mare, and where things stand now. We also cover Daphne's hip injury, next year's foal count, what actually makes a colt a stallion prospect versus a gelding, Gretchen's first mini horse show, and the hardest question of all, which five broodmares would I start my entire breeding program over with? 🐴 It got deep. We had thoughts. Matt also showed up at the end uninvited as usual. Annie still has not had her baby. Prayers up. 🙏 If you are new here, welcome to the chaos. We breed and show quarter horses, document foaling season, and talk about all the things nobody else is talking about in the horse world. Subscribe so you do not miss what happens in Ocala.
