She won with a combined time of 28.363. Congratulations Brooklyn! * Robyn Hoover was the winner of day one 1D open and the Breeder Barrel Bonanza Day 1 Winner.

Her time was a 13.874 on the Stallion BHR Light My Fire (Dimmer) Owned by Debbie Hertz. Congrats to Danda for winning the entire weekend against over 250 ladies!

Gastric Ulcers: Diagnosing and Treatment with Dr. Kirstie Oswald

In this episode Dr. Kirstie Oswald walks us step by step through the process of diagnosing and treating Gastric Ulcers. We were surprised at how complex this seemingly straight forward problem actually is and how connected ulcers are to your horses mental health and overall physical health. We JAM PACKED this episode full of detailed information on everything from preventing gastric ulcers, how nutrition plays a factor in gastric ulcers and how other injuries can interact with a horses overall health and cause gastric ulcers (or vice verse). We really dig into the details and get some juicy info about just how us horse owners can kick gastric ulcers to the curb for good (or manage them successfully). We sure do appreciate Dr. Oswald joining us and taking time away from her regular duties as veterinarian with Elm Creek Equine Veterinary Services. CONNECT WITH DR.

Secrets to taking great equine photos with professional photographer Carey Lee

What's the secret to taking those amazing, jaw dropping images we see of each other cruising through the arena? In this episode we were able to ask photographer, Carey Lee, about how he captures those really great moments with our horses.  If you live in Manitoba and compete in rodeo or barrel racing you've probably been photographed by Carey Lee at some point and maybe even bought a photo or two. Carey Lee has also earned his spot as an official photographer for Crossfire Bull Riding. During the summer months he is all over Manitoba photographing equine events and posts hundreds of amazing photos of athletes, both horse and human. We are very lucky to have such an accomplished photographer in our area!  You're probably wondering if we asked him for tips on how we can take better photos. We sure did! He gave some helpful suggestions but honestly it had us thinking we're better off on the horse and letting him take the position behind the camera lens. There is a lot of time, effort, and equipment that goes into capturing and editing a fantastic photo.  We can't thank Carey Lee enough for joining us on the podcast and giving us some insight into being an equine photographer.  CONNECT WITH CAREY LEE:  Facebook https://www.facebook.com/carey.lee.908 [https://www.facebook.com/carey.lee.908]  CONNECT WITH US: >> FIND ALL THE EPISODES: https://ride-like-a-mother.castos.com/ [https://ride-like-a-mother.castos.com/] >> EPISODE IDEAS: https://forms.gle/1nyjF8w791oXMCmS8 [https://forms.gle/1nyjF8w791oXMCmS8]  >> INSTAGRAM:  https://www.instagram.com/ride.likeamother/ [https://www.instagram.com/ride.likeamother/] >> FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/ridelikeamother [https://www.facebook.com/ridelikeamother]
