Mother's Day Special: Super Short & Horse-y Fiction

<p>This is Episode 27 of Season 3. I decided to do something a bit different with this episode. While I’m mostly a journalist, I have had some fun dabbling a bit with fiction. This story was published in my first book <em><a href= "https://cayusecommunications.com/library/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">A Rider’s Reader</a>.</em> You can find it exclusively in the Cayuse Communication library. <a href= "https://cayusecommunications.com/library/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Scroll to the bottom</a>. </p> <p>I think it’s a good one for Mother’s Day. If you enjoy it, let me know.</p> <p>A few notes from sponsors:</p> <p>We have several discounts going on. Check out Best Horse Practices sister site, <a href= "https://nickernews.net/discounts-giveaways-abound/" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">NickerNews</a>, for codes to stuff, including: Bobo’s Bars for your saddle bag. Zealios for your glamping. And Chill Angel, for your apres ride.</p> <p>Our title sponsor is <a href="https://lucernefarms.com/">Lucerne Farms</a>, producers of quality forage feeds.  Forage is chopped, packaged hay. Sometimes it’s alfalfa, sometimes timothy, sometimes blended, and sometimes with a touch of molasses. Always scrumptious. After hay and grass, it’s pretty much the best alternative and a great way to supplement feed for your hard keeper.</p> <p>Big thanks to <a href="https://redmondequine.com/">Redmond Equine</a> and <a href="https://pharmaloe.com/pages/equine">Pharm Aloe</a> – for generously sponsoring our podcast.

Check out the all season vest or the light and soft but tough ranch jacket – two great tops for this time of year. Both are made of hemp which has an already-broken in feel while also being super durable.</p> <p><a href="https://besthorsepractices.com/contact/" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">Give us feedback</a
