We had so much fun at Equine Affaire and we decided to devote our final episode of the year to recapping it just for you! We're interviewing two very special guests today who both attended the event and hearing all about it from them! First up, we're chatting with the incredibly hilarious Hayden Kristal, a fellow horse-lover and comedian extraordinaire, and then we're going to be joined by Shelly Foucher-Berggren, one of our very own HRN auditors. It's Equine Affaire, straight from the horse's mouth!
