It’s our 150th episode and we’re celebrating at Equine Affaire Ohio! We have the rare treat of recording in-person and we have some great guests. We introduce you to the all standardbred drill team from Cherokee Stables which one of their horses is a $2M winner. We debrief the secrets of half halts with two of our listeners after attending the Wendy Murdoch clinic. And of course, it wouldn’t be an episode of Retired Racehorse Radio without featuring an adoptable horse of the week! Stay tuned….
