In this EquiTheory episode (#99), I’m basically inviting you into an absolute albatross-infested canoe ride through my opinions—because yes, there’s a lot happening, and I can’t believe what’s happened. I keep it honest, a little whacky, and as upbeat as I can manage, with the kind of “cool, fun, funky fresh announcements” that make the heavier stuff feel survivable. If you’re here for a neat little bow-tied chat, this isn’t that—this is me talking like a real human who lives in a barn and also exists in the real world. A big, serious portion of this episode is about abortion access and resources—where to find care, how to find providers and support networks, and where to donate if you’re in a position to help. I also make space for the EquiTheory vibe: silly goofy pony clips, barn-life tales, and the kind of horse-world palate cleanser that keeps me grounded. Takeaway-wise: I want you to leave with links that actually help, plus a reminder that you’re not alone, and that community—horse people included—can show up in practical ways.
