Horse Husband Ben, Shy Boy and Realli Bad Adz for March 26, 2026

You are listening to the Horse Radio Network, part of the Equine Network family.

You are listening to the number one horse podcast in the world.

Here's your entertaining look at the horse world and the people in it.

Good Friday morning everybody. I am Glenda Geek and O'Cala Florida.

And I'm Jamie Jennings and Norman Oklahoma. You're listening to horses in the

morning on the horse radio network for Friday, March 27th, episode 3914.

Good morning horse people. Well, it's horse husband day.

And we have horse husband Benjamin tucked with us today.

And I think you two have something in common.

Oh, a little bit later on.

And let's just say he had a kind of a little bit of a rocky start to his to

become a horse husband.

Also, we're going to do some equine history.

We have some really bad ads.

But we wanted to start out with something that's kind of sombre today and

something though that means a lot to you because you've seen this horse a hundred

times.

Yeah.

Our our sweet friend Shabway Monti's horse that he famously

told in the wild via documentary from the BBC passed away at the age.

I think he was 33 years old.

So, I mean, amazing life that he had.

And it got a great vet care at the end of his life.

You know, I think that, you know, pergolide keeps all of them going.

So he had a pretty sweet deal the last 10 years.

They were hanging out at Monti's.

Well, it's 20 years.

I mean, my god, his whole life has been like, like, Monti would bring him in the

classroom.

He took him into his house.

Like the horse was just, I mean, they're just, they were just best friends.

And it was just so apparent that they were best friends.

And Shabway was an ambassador at the ranch and flag is up.

He had his like, install people to visit him and his paddock.

You know, they're a flag is up as open to visitors.

So you can just go in any time and people would just walk and just visit with Shabway.

Super sweet.

Now Monti did write, you know, he dictates to Debbie or Pat, his words.

And he wrote, no horse will ever remain in my memory more than this wonderful American

Mustang.

That's just a lot.

He said some a lot of horses.

He loved virtually everyone and all the horse world loved him.

I am now in my 90s.

And I'm sure won't be long till I'm with him again.

All who knew him will agree he should be in every body's memory.

So just in case you guys don't know like there's been books, Monti's written books about him.

I have the one here that's called shy boy, the horse that came in from the wild.

And that's him talking about the whole thing.

They even did a kid's book that I bought for Lucas years and years ago.

It's called, I'm shy boy.

Here's my story and it's illustrated beautiful book.

And the BBC did the documentary because nobody believed he could do it.

Right.

He had spent so much time with Mustangs in the wild as a kid growing up.

That he decided to see if he could general one.

And of course, I added pressure of TV cameras and the BBC filming the whole thing.

And the whole, I don't know where you could you probably find the documentary on YouTube.

I don't know.

It's called the shy boy, the horse that came from the wild.

And it was done in 1999.

1999.

Okay.

So so I'm sure it's still around summer.

I would think.

He, he spent three days on horseback following shy boy across all of the, you know, hundreds of miles.

And then after he did get him gentle, then they got him tacked up and they got a rider on him in the wild.

I think he spent some time.

I can't remember how long it was.

Monty decided to see if he would wanted to be domesticated or wild.

And they actually let shy boy loose in the wild.

And they camped out and spoiler alert.

He came back.

He was like, I think I'll live with you guys.

This is a little better.

So it's a very, very sweet, sweet, sweet story and very original road to the horse right there.

I mean, that's the OG road to the horse.

Exactly right.

Without a realm before the Kentucky horse park.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So he's got the documentaries and books and just such a big part of Monty's life.

And Flag is up farm.

So I'm, you know, I'm so pleased I got to know.

I, I actually posted a picture on my.

Or my flyover farm Facebook page.

And, you know, usually I post something and it gets a, you know, a couple hundred likes.

It has like 700, like it's picture of Monty on shy boy.

And I was on my Mustang Thor.

And I'm just like one of the pictures all cherished my entire life.

So I'll put that one in the show notes for today.

Okay.

There you go.

Yeah.

So anyway, sad, sad news.

But I just wanted to make mention.

I know it's Friday and whatever.

But just, you know, it's touched, touched my heart and the horse was amazing.

And I'm sure the Robert's family is sad waking up without him on the farm.

But he lived a good life.

And I did talk to Debbie and she said that it was a very beautiful end.

So which is always nice when it's not a panicked end, you know.

So, but she says a beautiful end and very tasteful and no, you know, drama.

Good.

All right.

We're best to the entire family over there, Debbie and the whole gang.

Well, we're going to do some daily winnies here and change gears a little bit because it is Friday.

From the podcast to the farm, here's some hidden birthday wishes to keep you warm.

Happy birthday, friends.

Well, we have three auditor birthdays this weekend.

Alison Marie, Michelle Bush and Michelle Schneider.

It's Michelle Day.

So it's birthday to all of you.

Also, I wanted to give a special shout out to Connor, who was going on the horse lovers cruise with us.

I heard you're a big fan and I can't wait to meet you and your family got a nice email from his mom today.

So we'll see you in Alaska here.

Oh my God.

Are you so excited?

Are you freaking out?

I'm starting to get excited now.

We booked this so long ago.

Was it a year and a half maybe?

And that's the longest we had ever booked before a cruise, but for Alaska cruise, you have to do that.

So what is that like to have vacations planned out well in advance?

No, we're going to do every day of that before.

So it's been a long wait.

Now it's finally getting real because now it's like, are my passports still good?

You know, we have to look at all those things and do the final.

Do you do a passport for Alaska?

We come.

We ship comes back into Vancouver.

Oh, good to know.

Yeah, see there's your there's your lesson.

Everybody listening who's going on the cruise, take a passport.

Although I never got a real ID.

So I have to go through with my passport.

That's it.

Well, I.

Did they do that in the home or haven't they figured that out yet?

They do it.

But you can go through with your passport instead.

I tell my Arizona driver's license because it doesn't expire till 2042.

And I got it 20 years ago.

So they just like they just made an animal.

I don't want a new one.

You're going to get arrested.

It's fine.

Everything.

You know what they too, too.

And I had to look at this.

I looked at this six times to make sure you if your passport expires within six months

have taken the cruise, they won't let you take the cruise.

Yep.

Yep.

They are flying too.

Yep.

You can have it.

It's because what they think because potentially you could go to that other country and stay there.

And then you can't get back.

I checked it about a dozen times.

And it ironically it's nine months till expires.

Probably.

I was thinking,

maybe stressed out.

I had to go look at mine.

I hadn't looked at it in years.

Apparently 10 years.

I hadn't looked at it as what it is.

Now you can renew them online, which apparently is easier now than it used to be going to the.

Get your picture taken at the right aid and then go into the courthouse.

Yeah.

And they go to the post office here.

Yeah.

The courthouse here waiting in line.

Anyway.

All right.

Your turn.

I think, right?

Yeah.

Talk about the most random crap.

It's just nothing.

Just a show about nothing.

It's Friday.

What are you going to do?

And let's continue the trend of.

I don't know if you guys listen to the show Wednesday, but I did a whole segment about things that you say.

That probably an England, if this is inappropriate, cut it out and tell me.

When we do my daily winning because I've gone on now Facebook and I've asked you guys to post.

What are some of the things and we'll get to yours on Monday.

But some of the things that you say that.

Don't land the same with non horse people as horse people continue.

Let me, I don't know if I have the beeper button.

That's not the beeper button.

Now do.

I don't work.

No.

So, so Amigo, my horse that I bought in California, that's shipped here.

I had castrated and he is like, I mean, he was an adult stallion.

He was a giant male stallion.

And he's since been castrated.

But I have like a very specific way to bring him in.

So like no horses can be in the barn.

And I have to bleed him in from the paddock and win.

And I bring everybody in.

He stands next to Carl.

Carl.

Don't care.

So whatever.

And anytime you walk a horse by, he's like, you know.

And so then when I turn him out, I can't turn out any horses until I turn him out,

because he needs to not see anybody outside.

Otherwise, he turns into a big giant stallion.

But he still gets quite excited when I bring him in.

Like, I don't know why it's just a thing he did.

So yesterday, I was talking to Zoe, who is out here with me a couple of days a week.

She had to fleece.

And I'm talking to Zoe.

Unbeknownst to me, there's some construction people that are walking around with Chad looking at whatever they were looking at.

So electric people.

So I come in the barn.

And I'm like, Zoe.

Take a look.

There's a way to drop down, but it's so floppy this time.

Oh, I poor husband is going to really happen.

I'm happy about that.

It's now starting to, the gas thing is starting to empty.

like it's dead floppy and I just

and I'm like and so all she does is she looks over and chat like his chat's probably

about 30 yards away. I didn't see him but she knew he was there and walking around

with these like electricians. Oh, they talk about that all day. Hi, how are you?

Yeah, they're like spraying, you know, the lies on the ground so you can dig first those guys.

The six one one guys. I was like, hi. Hello. How are you?

The electricians stay dream about coming across you. They give women in the house and

they get you. Oh, oh, God. This was not on their fantasy list. Yeah, it's floppy. I think we have

to go to our guest after this. I'm embarrassed right now. Just remind me, remembering it.

Well, Jamie is so excited today to have our horse husband of the month and he actually is one of our

family here at Equine Network. And that's how I know about him. His name is Ben Tut, which by the way

sounds like it does sound like an emperor from or a Pharaoh from Egypt, right? Thank you.

Do you qualify for that? Are there statues in your honor, Ben? I get, you know, I get asked that

but I haven't come across a statue yet. I haven't explored Egypt, but they're might. You get asked,

I tell you, you get asked that. Yeah, never, it's never been asked. Well, that's why you come here,

and that's why you come here for the good stuff. So Ben, your wife has actually been on our show,

right? Jessica? Correct. Correct. Jessica is chief science officer was folding labs and proud to

say that she's my wife and proud to be her horse husband. And she she's been a great guest. We love

having her on, but she was, did she grow up in a horsey family? Yes, she's been on the back of a

horse and she's been home from the hospital. And that's how she was born and raised and her dad

has gone to worlds for team penny and so she's got a really interesting background when it comes to

horses. So he's a man's man cowboy man. Yes, exactly. And you a city boy from what I understand,

right? Yes, yes. So I grew up in Springfield Illinois. So smaller, smaller metropolitan area, but

I wasn't raised on a farm. We work critter people. We love animals. Yeah, but dogs and cats don't count

dogs. Yeah, exactly. Dogs, cats, hamsters, turtles, guinea pigs. Yeah, those don't count. Yes, exactly,

exactly. So, you know, I don't have, I didn't have a farm background until I met Jess.

Well, how do you mean? Let's start there. So we actually met at my previous employer. I worked

retail for about 20 years and it was a pet store. Okay. And so when her father met me, he asked if

there was a return policy for the pet store. So it's been, it's been a picture this guy just

with the way you set it up. Yes. So when he first met me, I may have been wearing

khaki pants and a polo shirt and, you know, be prepared to make a good impression. Yes, yes.

And, you know, the first impression was, can you take them back?

We don't, we don't, we don't know if he's going to mesh well out of our

let me, let me guess you didn't know the cowboy hat at that point. You didn't know what cowboy

boots were. You definitely didn't have a belt buckle that big. No, no, no, no, just, just some white

tennis shoes and a baseball cap if I'm lucky. So did you, how long? I have a, I have a lot of

questions about the beginning here because yours is a little bit unique. How long did it take that

you were accepted or how did I got, I got the way Jennifer's brothers did it is they ran me

through several tests that I didn't know were tests. And did you have a test or two? I, I did have,

I had a big test. So just real quick brief story, Jess and I moved to Minnesota for Jessica's

master's program. And so right after we started dating, year after we started dating. So I

really hadn't gotten, they spent time on the farm. And then so we were up there for five years

and came back to Illinois, be closer to the farm within a week of being back, which was in the

middle of July and the Midwest. So 100 degree attempts with 100% humidity. I get asked if,

if I want to come out and help with bailing. Hey, I'm like, yeah, sure. Yeah, I'm not afraid of

hard labor, but you know, I've never been on the farm, but I, again, want to make an impression.

And so yeah, they're in, he even told me I could sleep in. He didn't need me out there until about

nine o'clock in the morning. So I'm like, all right. So I get out to the farm. You can come out and

help me write the haze is what he said, right? I don't know the process, but sure I kind of get it.

And my father-in-law is a machine mechanic like farm mechanic. And so everything he has is very old,

but it runs like because it keeps it running. And so we're on a 1950s-allis chalmers.

Where the club takes two people to push down. Exactly. Exactly. Takes two people to push down,

has a couple of wires that you have to pull to get it started, all of that fun stuff.

Shifting it's like you need, you need to step on it to get the

yes. Yep, yep. So he, you know, he gets me up there and he's like, I'm going to sit on the fender

and write a few rounds with you around the field. Make sure you understand what you're doing.

They go, okay. So test two came along about halfway through the first round when he said,

I'll see you later. I'll be back when you're finished. And we make it a full round.

So I didn't hit any fences, which was good. Then he shows up now the real work. We have a

baler that they had. They ended up buying for $50. 1950s, 1960s baler. We spent all day working

this hayfield. And this was the kind that dropped it on the ground, wasn't it?

Yes. Well, it had a shoot that would bring it up to the rack, but we would hook it and then drag

it across the rack and stack. Yeah. And so I wasn't on the tractor. I was on the back. I was,

I was working there. No, I wasn't getting the cushy job at all. And I will admit that I lost a rack,

you know, all the hay can of top. I didn't stack it tight enough. So it all fell off to the side.

So there was another test. That one I didn't do so well on. And then, and then he didn't tell you

that you had to pull it into the barn and take it all off again. Hey, exactly. So we were there

all day from, I would say 11 a.m. to about 5 p.m., making hay. And I'm beat, you know, that heat

just zaps you out of it. But I'm, I knew now I could kind of see the picture of what's going on.

Because Jessica, I don't know if she alluded this to her show. She's the only daughter and only

grandchild of the family. And she has six uncles. So I have to run through this whole gamut of

all these uncles that are working on the farm with me. So I'm trying to keep up. And, you know,

they're, they're all in their, you know, 50s and 60s. And I'm trying to keep up with them.

And I'm, I'm a young young pup at 25, 26 at the time. And they just were kind of shocked when they

said, well, we got to pull this into the barn. You're good to go home. You got all this done.

We're going to pull it into the barn and then stack it. And I said, I don't know why. Maybe it was

the heat talking, but I said, sure, I'll help you guys. I don't need to go home. And then I realized

that's actually the worst part of making hay. Yeah. But that was, that was the final test.

That was the final test. If you had gone home, that would have been it. You were done. Yep.

Yep. I made it through the barn. I made it through the barn. We unloaded. I think two or three

racks. And yeah, it ever since then, they can't get rid of me now. And I, congratulations.

You fast. That is a test. They all do it. Now mine was a little easier and a little different.

Her brother's one of who was at the time of green beret. Oh, okay. They had a gun range on the farm.

So they, and this was shortly. This wasn't too long in. They said, you, you have to come down

and shoot with us. So they had some of the biggest guns I've ever seen. I mean, he was a green beret.

Yeah. And so I had to go down to the gun range. Well, it turns out I chop it for. They didn't know

that. I didn't tell them because I thought if I suck at this, I'm not going to tell them. And then

I did very well. And that was it. I was, I was in after because I could shoot a gun. But you had

these brothers taking me to the gun range. And it was like, okay, that's intimidating.

I have a couple quick questions for you then. Yes. All right. Have you ridden a horse yet?

Yes. Did you enjoy it? Yes. Will you do it again? Oh, by, yes. I definitely enjoyed enough.

And to be honest, we just, me and Jess have a great relationship, but her trying to teach me

to how to ride a horse doesn't work. It didn't work for me either. I didn't work for Jamie and Chad

either. I don't know. So, you know, if we were out riding, you may have heard heels down

about a million times. So, and they would always put me on the push button horse, the one that,

you know, everybody every new rider gets. We haven't heard of about 20. So it's all kind of like,

in their all paints and quarter horses. And so I'm still trying to learn as much as I can about

the horse world for one. Obviously, I, I enjoy it. I enjoy being outside and, and being around the

horses, but also it, it will help in my, in my career too, with wealthy labs. Jamie and I both got

our, our first fly predators this week. A couple days ago. And I want to know from all of you

out there that get fly predators, if you're like Jennifer and I, and you have to wait for them to hatch

before you put them out. And they come in this clear bag at the clear on the top. And we put it out

and then every morning we go check and see if they hatched. And I beat on the bag because I want to

wake them up. Is it wrong? Shouldn't I beat on the bag? I probably wouldn't sit, well, I mean,

people want to instantly grab it and pick it up. And the best way to watch for the fly predators

the hatch or if they are hatching is lay it flat and just keep an eye on the edges. A lot of

time they start moving out. I know. I want to tap on the bag. Listen, Glenn, don't, it's like going

to an aquarium and hitting the table. I do that too. They're trying to sling it, man, if they're

growing up, they're developing. I gotta know what you're the operations manager. And I don't know

if this is a state secret. So you can say no and not tell me. But what does a fly predator factory

look like? I mean, is it a pile of rows of poop? What is this is a great question? I don't know

how this is happening. How this is done. So it's it's very interesting. There are some things I

cannot discuss because it's it is a proprietary. But there are some things. So we do actually have to

raise flies to raise fly predators. Because we need the fly pupa to get taken over by the fly

predators. So then we can ship them out to you to the customer. So there is an assembly of,

you know, the stage is the adult fly. They're laying their pupa into a media, which then they sift

the pupa, the cocoon stage. What do they do with the tweezers and pluck them out? These things

are tiny. We're talking we're talking millions of flies. So when they sift through that,

they will find the cocoons stage. So the fly will lay an egg into the media, which then goes through

the maggot stage and then goes to the pupal stage, which is the heart cocoon. So when they go and

sift that out, they find those heart cocoons and then they bring in the fly predators and let the

fly predators lay eggs inside of those cocoons, which then kills the fly, but also has another fly

predator incubating. I guess you can say in that cocoon. So then when we gather those cocoons,

we package them up to them out to our customers. So it is quite the process. It is quite the

facility that we do have. I've gotten to visit numerous times. I work with the shippers because

one of our shipping centers is out of the insectery as well. So I work with the shippers and I've

gotten the full tour, you know, the full nickel tour. And it is a smelly hot job.

Who's going to say is it loud with all millions of flies buzzing at the same time?

It's loud. It's hot. It's in a large, you know, they have, they have to have things at a certain

temperature to incubate and to get them to the stage they need to be able to have a finished product.

Okay, let me ask this real quick. So the little brown, little pupas that we get in the mail are

actually fly pupas that a predator has gone in and killed. Yes, yes. So the fly predators are

parasitic wasps. So they drill into, they don't have a stinger. So what they do have is almost like

a straw instead of a stinger. And they use that straw to drill into that fly cocoon.

Which then they'll lay an egg inside the cocoon, which then kills the fly inside the cocoon.

But then that's a food source for that developing fly predator. So then when that fly predator is

ready to hatch out, he'll, it will actually drill back through a hole and come out. It doesn't

crack open like an egg, but they drill a small hole out and they start looking for a fly cocoon

to take over to lay their eggs. So it's a continuous process. So when you get your package out on

your property, those little fly predators are going to pop out of those fly cocoon and start

rooting around for a fresh fly cocoon to take over to lay an egg, which then kills the fly.

Gotcha. So then do how that worked. That's fascinating. And so a fly predator, a female fly

predator can kill about 100 flies and it's four week time for it. And the smallest pack for,

you know, for people that aren't, haven't used fly predators, our smallest pack is 5,000 fly

predators. So you're killing a lot of flies with just the 5,000 that's going to cover up the five

horses. And then if you add five, five more thousand that's going to cover up the 10 horses and so on.

We have great, we have great agents with swalding labs that if you have any questions at all,

you can feel free to give us a call and we'll even go through the entire process with you about

the fly. All I've been visiting right now is you sitting down like with a hand and going one.

I do help, I do help our, our entomologists, I do help Jess with hand counting. We do some QC testing

on the fly. No pun intended. 3,429, 3,430. Yep. Yep. Don't say any other numbers as we're

sitting there counting these. And we will go through kind of a QC check just to make sure that we're

sending the correct numbers. Well, I could tell you, I, the first bag I got, I counted them and

you were off by two. Oh, no. Oh, see, I got two extra glints. So what I'll do, I'll get a

priority envelope together for you. It's in you two more. Thank you.

Then you've been delightful. They can get go to Spalding, I've tried to remember the website now.

Spaldinglabs.com. Spaldinglabs.com. Yep. It is important that you're going to need to get

asked questions and you want to be, you know, you want to be accurate in your answers about how

many horses and all that stuff because that does determine what they send to you. And it works.

I'll tell you what it works because we started getting flies already. And Jennifer's first question

was, when do we get our first predators? The whole thing is like, I just don't know who's not

using predators at this point. So yeah, they're doing the right thing for sure. It's working.

Thank you. It's been a great project or great product. And, you know, I jumped ship from a 20-year

career to start a whole new career because I believed in the in the product and seen the results

just working with Jess. So I love it. Not just down 60% of our flies on our farm. Thank you for

stopping by today. We really appreciate it. Thank you. I have your father-in-law coming on the show

Monday. Okay. I will probably be with them because I'll probably have the help with the tech,

but yes, he asked him any questions about me working around. He might even tell you how I said

a tractor on fire. Thank you, Van Freyschen. Thank you.

That's right. This day in equine history. And we're going back to March 26 of 1943

to a chestnut cult named. And I hope this doesn't get Jamie all riled up for some reason.

A cult named assault. It was classic. It was born on the famous King Ranch in Texas.

You know, he, as a fall, was injured. He stepped on a surveyor's stake, which drove a hole through

his right front hoof. It left him with a permanent limp and a deformed foot. What?

What? Yes, he, that's correct. This is his unique story. Despite that, he became the seventh

triple crown winner in 1946. But he limped. Yep. Because he limped, he got a nickname. And his

nickname was the club-footed comment. And he, to this day, remains the only Texas bread horse

to win the triple crown. Time out. Time out. Yep. Okay. Obviously before his, it's no veterinarians

that said, hey, that horse is lame. He shouldn't be here. He just went, he running was no problem.

He won the triple crown. So I guess not. That's a crazy. I didn't know that. I've got the book right

here on the salt by Eva Boyd. I haven't read it yet. But now I have to. Yeah. Yeah. Apparently,

it's, there's your next book report right there. Well, Eddie, I'm the back of the book Eddie

Arcaro, who was obviously a Hall of Fame jockey. I might have heard his name. He said, this is

quote, assault was a great horse. And anyone who says he isn't, is a jerk who doesn't know

anything about horses. That's to the point. It's super eloquent, Mr. Arcaro.

Didn't say anything about the horse, just the people who make fun of the horse. You're a jerk.

You don't know nothing. Oh my god. It's right on the back. Right on the back there.

In 1702, a single stumble changed the course of the British Empire. And it started with a

horse named Soral. Soral wasn't just any mount. He was a high-spirited chestnut. Of course,

who had. Again, again, that's it. Now we know 1702 was when they started naming horses the color.

Red. I've never heard a horse named Soral, but we got red. We got black. We got yellow. We got,

we got, you know, all of it. Soral killed the king. So we're going to get to that. Soral wasn't

just, wasn't any mountain. He was a high-spirited chestnut who had previously belonged to Sir John

Fenwick. Well, King William III of England, it decided to execute Sir John Fenwick for treason.

And took a horse. Okay. And then fate came back to get him on a crisp morning in late February.

Well, the king was riding Soral through the grounds of Hampton Court Palace. Soral tripped on a

mole hill and threw the monarch to the ground. He broke his collarbone and injury that triggered a

downhill spiral of pneumonia and fever leading to his death. Is that ironic or what? Because,

because the king died without an air, the crown passed to Queen Anne, the last of the steward monarchs,

effectively, effectively reshaping the political map of Europe. Anybody knows, I'll just go into

this a little bit. I won't get crazy. But it took on a life of its own. It became a thing,

especially the mole hill with the how he died. Mountain in the mold. Might have mountain out of a

mole hill. Oh, look at that. The king's enemy, the Jacobites, led to the whole rebel, you know, the

civil war thing were thrilled by all of this. And they kind of made the horse into this,

well, they, they drank to him. Apparently for years after, the rebels would gather in the secret

pubs and they would raise a glass to the little gentleman in the black velvet jacket. What they

meant, it was kind of a code for talking about the mole who made the mole hill. So they toasted to the

mole for years after. And you can find a statue, an equestrian statue of William III at London St.

James Square, which I actually saw. And at the bottom of the horse's foot is a mole hill.

Is it no way? Yes, yes. Isn't that a fascinating? It's just so, so, so usually we don't, you don't

let me do stories about people dying. I mean, this is too soon, Glenn. This was 17 or two.

Too soon. Too soon. Actually, all of mine are about people, people are horses dying because it's

history. So I've really, they're all about dying. Except for this one. Hold on, I do see this here

that you put down the King's enemies celebrated the accident as a form of equine justice. I'm

writing that down. I'm going to get a shirt. It says equine justice. It's like a gavel with a horse

you want it. Some people don't believe in fate. I think fate took its course there. All right,

this one I missed on the 23rd. So a couple days ago, Vermont state lawmakers chose the Morgan

Horse as the state's official animal on March 23rd 1961. The breed, of course, is named for Justin

Morgan, who brought the cult named figure to Vermont in the 1790s. All of the lineage for the breed

came from figure and the Morganist considered the first original American horse breed.

I mean, did anybody write that book better than Marguerite Henry? Right. There we go. Justin Morgan

had a horse. Okay. So now I don't know how many states have horses as their official animal. Look

that up quick because I don't know the answer to that. Maybe I only just thought that up quick.

How I don't type that fast. I mean, that's why I had you do it.

I mean, what do you want to do? I took three years of typing. In the days when you were

practiced, there were no computers. You practiced on a typewriter. And I got these all three years

and I still can't type. So there's that official state animal. I never took typing. So

I somehow got out of that. You know, kids when computers came along just learned to type. They

didn't need a class, right? They just figured it out. We didn't have that. Okay. States with

specific horse equine designations. This says here, well, over a dozen states have official state

horses. Oh, well. Others have horses listed as state animal state mammals or honorary equines.

Okay. Ready? Yeah. Okay. So Alabama is the racking horse, Florida, Florida cracker, Idaho,

Appalooza. Oh, well, we got a battle here. This week is the National Appalooza champion chips at

the World Questions Center here. Well, good enough. A lot of spots down there. I feel like Kentucky

and Maryland should fight because they both listed the thoroughbred. Maryland's thoroughbred. What?

Maryland's big and thoroughbreds here. I know, but it's not big. It's Kentucky. No offense,

Maryland people. Okay. You know the truth. Massachusetts also has the Morgan horse or the Morgan

horse, Missouri, Missouri fox trotter. Mississippi is the quarter horse. New Jersey. New Jersey state

animal. Yeah. Is horse. Just horse. Yes, horse. North Carolina has the colonial span in

Jersey. They don't mess around. It's a horse. We don't need to be specific here. It's all the horses.

We're not being prejudiced. Your horse. Your horse. Your horse.

A North Carolina colonial Spanish. No offense, Lori. No offense. I love all of you. I've offended

so far. Maryland and New Jersey. But no, well, we can defend Lorraine this week. She didn't send in a

sound file. So, oh, blessed, Lorraine. Let's see. Dakota horse is North Dakota, North Carolina's

colonist Spanish Mustang. Oklahoma is the American quarter horse. A horse. Yeah.

South Carolina is the marsh tacky. I kind of figured about those. Tennessee is the Tennessee

walking horse. Texas. Guess what? Texas is horses. Oh, they they've lost out on quarter horse.

Pay. No, they have quarter horse. I thought that was a give me. Vermont is also the Morgan

horse in Virginia. You want to guess what Virginia is? Oh, well, what what a George Washington

rode some kind of big racking horse. No, no, thank Marguerite Henry. Oh, it's a chinketake.

Yes. Oh, wow. I didn't realize it. But there you go. Missouri also designated the Missouri

Mule as its state animal, while South Carolina also includes the Mule just so you know,

I can't dive deep in AI if you want, but I think we're good. I think that's good. But I didn't know

all that. Look, we'd all learn something today. Well, you know, I gave AI about four seconds to

tell me all that. So it could all be wrong. I don't know. And that's all for this day in Equine

History. I need to close things. I need to get this music figured out. Jamie had a great idea.

She said I should have the little piece of that catchy tune right between each story. And I

should, but I keep forgetting to do it. And then I should have it go out too. So so you skip that

part and you just go to this part. I just feel like dancing or feel like I'm walking into

1920s. Six flags had like a place like that in Georgia. I feel like I'm walking into six flags.

This is kind of music for music, isn't it? I can smell the cotton candy roasted almonds.

Yeah, cool. On that note.

The fell a low down lie with a sincere stare. Horses straightened.

We'll let the talking in circles and the D-lane square. He's a master in the fine art of persuading.

Horses straightened. That's right. It is time for really bad ads that time of the week when

it works. And you have that. I talked to somebody yesterday who had a tail rubber. So this is

perfect for that. It comes also with reusable tail ties and also their tail tie shampoo

detangular, which is a all natural detangular. There's nothing. There's nothing in it that's

bad for your horse or the environment. It's specifically formulated to be non greasy. So

that's a great package. It's from tail cinch.com. If you need a tail guard, take a look at them.

on Facebook. I don't know what state it says what state but I can't read that part.

Mustang mayor looking for a new home she not broke to ride but would make great project horse

for someone. Just not me. She all in your pocket for treats she would make a good horse for someone

who wants to work with one. You just said that the first thing. We don't know anything about

training horse but she definitely not the craziest Mustang out there. Reach out for more info

if interested and questions. Yeah, I have questions. So you don't know a lot about horse training.

Are you well first in English punctuation? Or Mustangs in general because I would you know this

isn't the craziest one out there. And the craziest one I've seen. Although you can probably find

always find something crazier, right? Yeah. And why do they always say we make a great project

for you? Not me. Not me. Did you see the size of the Western saddle on this for a little Mustang?

Oh man. Look at the Mustang's belly. This Mustang is not malnourished. I gotta say that.

No Amanda sent this one in. This is quality horses in South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia,

Ambruginia. And it sounds just like somebody will be coming from here. Okay, because they say

this is quality horses, but anyone willing to try to project horse for an O6 Chevy Silverado?

You know, I had one to trade, but I need an O7. I don't want the O6 model. What's shocking to

me is I can't see them, but I can see that there are 48 comments. I wish we had the comments on

this one. The specifics of somebody that wants an O6 Chevy Silverado. It ain't running, but you

know what? The bottom's rusted out, but you know what? It's a project horse. What do you want?

Project trunk for project horse. Face sent the next one in. It's a good pony. That's a name

of the ad. Good pony. 15. There's no. Why did I do 15-year-old pain pony? 15-year-old pain pony.

It's PAIN pony. 47 inches to teeth worn away, not sure why he is gentle as can be, but has a

little spunk to him. I know they did lead landing on him at County Fair Clean Coggins.

$1,000 and it's a it's a mini that it looks emaciated and has no teeth.

It's teeth are worn away, not sure why he is gentle. That if horses are this is what I'm learning

people when you're reading ads. If they say the horse is eight years old, it's minimum 15.

If they say the horse is 15, minimum 30. Especially with teeth that are gone.

And it's the gray above the ear and the eyes. You know what? We have two 18-year-olds here in the

farm and they have all their teeth. It's amazing. Yeah, I don't know why his teeth are gone,

maybe because he's 42. But he's been led land at the County Fair. And and by the way,

Gentile is not how you spell that. Marta sent this one in. What is this?

Curb alert have two wheel boroughs of dirt, some grass roots. We have bunnies, so it's good for your

garden. Bring your own bags. Did somebody take the time to put that ad up? And it's well

fertilized by the bunnies which bunny poop. I don't know if you ever smelled bunny poop, but it's

unique. It's definitely unique, bunny poop. It's kind of like chicken poop. But you're literally

telling somebody to come pick up bunny poop from two wheel boroughs. Not even a lot.

That's really stupid. That's really stupid.

Somebody probably did. Kayla sent the next one in. Okay, that's an interesting looking trailer of

the week. I've never seen anything like that in my entire life. No, I haven't either. It's a

horse float. So it's either from England or else. Oh yeah, I don't know which.

Description, horse float, location, bull's brook, suitable for two.

Okay, this is homemade. This is a homemade puke mustard colored horse trailer that looks like

it could double as a prison cell for inmates in the 1940s. Okay, side note, bull's brook is a

suburb in Australia. Okay, this kind of looks Australian. I didn't mean that to be offensive

Kayla, but it kind of has an Australian look like they used it for prisoners at one point. And

then they decided to cut the roof off. Yeah, you said in prisoners, they're going to just get out

in like two seconds. Giraffes, maybe do we have camels in Australia? Maybe camels. That's what to

prepare. It has no rust on it. And the tires are full and it has a jack. This is a good trailer,

except for the mustard yellow and the prison bars all the way around it. And the fact that there's

no proof. It's definitely homemade. There's no question. Probably last year, a hundred more years

for $3,250. All you got to do is go to multiple. I can barely read the next one. Oh my god, wait,

what? Hold on. Let me give my glasses. Danielle sent this one in. It's a copy. It's a screenshot.

So it's really small. The letters are about four point. Oh, she's coming to paste it up above. Hold on.

She had this thing. Okay, I can see that because they're above top above. Okay.

This looks like a dream horse ad. You know, they have the things that's dream horse. I mean,

here's the about the Danielle sent in roses. Just a good family horse who was never really

taking off the place. She has wrote a few parades and few trail rides at five years old. She

had her first filly the next year. She had a stud coat. I've got it gelling wrong. They've never

gotten coat wrong. She had a stud coat. It was the only two times she was ever read. She rides

in snaffle can ride bearback or with the saddle has never been driven just all around nice quiet horse.

How would they know that we, first of all, do we know how old it is now?

It says, I got to read my glasses here. Well, they won $45,000. So she's 16, 16. And now,

keep in mind in the ad, she said she has wrote a few parades and few trail rides at five.

So they haven't done anything for 11 years with this horse.

Asking praises $4,500 for horse that hasn't been ridden in 11 years.

She had a filling coat. She had a stud coat.

A stud coat. Why was that important, by the way, in the ad? I don't know either. Wayne sent this

one in. It was a Morgan though. So that ties in with another thing we have going today.

Wayne sent this one in.

Wayne wanted halfling or stud for breed. Now you all have, this is very short. You have to

listen very closely. Okay. Wanted halfling or stud for breeding $1 in West Phoenix.

You're old stumping ground, probably your neighbor. I am looking for a halfling or stud to breed

with my registered halfling or mail. Please call with any information.

How many babies do you think I've come out of that, Jamie?

I don't even want to envision what that is.

That's the first we were ridden at 50 years. I like what Wayne commented.

So proud. I want to raise my stud.

My registered halfling or mails. Okay. That's where pre-free feeding pays.

Oh, that would have been a good one to have the comments. Hey, when you guys are submitting these,

if the comments are brilliant, send us the comments too. We want to know all of it.

Okay. Betty sent this one in. It is from a Facebook page, a humane society of the Pike's Peak

region. I did it. I did edit it a little bit because it was really, really long and now it's just

really long. Okay. And it is a picture. Do you want to see what it is? Is it a picture of a white

dog that's available for adoption, a little white fluffy dog? Bonjour, Miami. Allow me to introduce

myself that the French accident is there. I think that's it. That was a sneakily French. My name is

Simba. Please hold your applause. Once I was a man, pardon a gentleman of great charm, a

lever of life, a heartbreaker. This is like a dog ad. Okay. I was not merely handsome. I was

dangerous. Women would see me immediately question their life choices. Sun glasses came off.

Hair was flipped, time slowed, bird sing louder. I did nothing to earn this power except to exist.

Yeah, when I arrived here, I was unrecognizable, a ghost of glamour, a crime against beauty.

I smelled like a sewer that had been abandoned by other sewers.

People did not lean in. They leaned away and said things like, oh, buddy, which is never followed

by romance. The ladies no longer whispered who is that? They whispered, oh no.

They shaved the mats of, they shaved away the mats of my shame. They bathed me in warm water.

They fluffed me, trimmed me, polished me, but the true transformation was inside.

This is very dramatic for a tiny white dog. Through pets, praising, and Richmond games, which I

dominated effortlessly because I'm extremely intelligent and humble. Oh, they rebuilt my confidence.

Now I'm a reform lady's man. Yes, the matter was I'll still admire me on my walks. I allow it.

I am not cruel. I accept to compliment. Perhaps a harmless scratch behind the ears, but my heart,

non-negotiable. It belongs to one woman, one woman only. Who's I thought it was for adoption?

So Mercy ate the organization for shaving away my past, restoring my mojo and helping

a once fallen Casanova find the love of his life. I came in a mess. I left a legend.

There's a picture of him on the left. And he looked like he had come out of his sewer. His hair

was really long and matted and gross and everything. And then the next picture's him being shaved

completely except for his ears. He is wearing a jacket. I don't know what the, I don't know what the

jackets for. Was he for adoption for sale? I don't know. Oh, it's from the Native Society Pikes Peak.

So you would assume that he was. I don't know. I don't get it. It was a lot. It was a lot.

It was just bad and adorable at the same time. Okay. And then as I do on Fridays when we're

sitting here doing nothing or you're talking and I'm bored. I went on to Craigslist and looked

just a quick search of ads in my area. One of which I did respond to and I'm waiting on the

text back because it's in Norman. I might this will go see it. I mean, it's like right down the

street. Okay. But other than that, I did find this ad. And this is also in Norman. And I did not

inquire on this one. Here's the Craigslist ad. Almost three year old stud quarter horse cross

$2,000 in Norman, Oklahoma. Describe the picture. Please. It's a picture looking in a barn door

with a horse on a lead rope about halfway across the barn. You can barely see the horse.

Right. Okay. And here's the beautiful ad from my neighbor in here in Norman, Oklahoma.

I have a lot of media. Him this is a young horse. What? Just good start. He is still growing around 14

hands. He knows how to dance. Oh, God. You can ride him most of major work is done. He just

needs someone who can. Oh, God. He just needs someone who can stay on top of him.

So he's a little bit of a biker then. He has a scar on his back legs because he hurt herself

in the stall. But he is not lame or anything we cleaned the car up. He has one testicle ascended.

What? What were the car come into the picture? I don't know, but I'm actually realizing that this

is owned by the same people that I texted about the other horse. I'm in trouble. I'm in trouble.

You need to read you what I texted. Let's see if I can find that ad. I just texted about.

There's so many good ones in Oklahoma. It's like, how do I figure out what? Why the cleaning

in the car had anything to do with the horse? Was he in the car? Did he get in the car? Did he get in the car?

Did he get in the car? Did he get in the car? Red in the car? I need to know. Call this person.

I want to know. I'm searching for the one I wrote. You guys are worried. By the way,

while you're searching, I came up with the answer that we've been looking for for weeks.

What? How long does seem in the last frozen? Finally, I needed a damn answer after the last

couple episodes. It is 20 to 30 years of its frozen correctly and cold enough. I don't know. Do

you think they put a little expiration date like they do cookies? What happens if the power goes out?

It's dry ice, apparently, or something like that, or liquid something or other. It had to be frozen

in. I don't know. I didn't read that close, but 20 to 30 years. I guess once it expires, it's just

expired. Okay. There you go. Well, that's exciting. I can't find the ad I wrote in. It might be

taken down already because I just was pretty sure it was a scam. So I texted like, sure, they've

got my phone over now. But I needed to know because it's all about entertaining you guys. Okay,

please, is it? I'll have to do it next week. I'll look for it. You guys love it when I go

to the horse shopping, even if I'm not shopping. So. All right. That's it for today. Thank you,

everybody. We hope you have a terrific weekend. Be safe. I do have a closing story here that,

you know, I am absolutely fascinated with the Guinness World Records. Well, before you go,

this might make it because there's a horse for sale that is 75% freezing, 12.5%

perchuron and 50% rocky mountain. It's a lot of presents. That made me madden.

So I just had to jump in. You know how interesting your husband must be telling you stories about

how interesting airports are right now. Oh, yeah. Well, yeah, our yesterday, day before at the Philadelphia

International Airport that I've flown through many, many times, it was on Monday. You probably

went in expecting long security lines, but you got some entertainment because they were trying to

set the world Guinness record for the longest line of cheesesteak sandwiches. That's right.

Obviously, Philadelphia known for cheesesteaks. Really? It's Philly. They known for cheesesteaks

with 101,291 cheesesteak sandwiches that they made at the airport all lined up in these bins.

It was an enormous amount of cheesesteak sandwiches. And the departure hall and it was

national cheesesteak day. And they set the world record to previous world record was 500

sandwiches. And now they have a new world record of 1291. And after that, volunteers handed out

the sandwiches to travelers, to airport workers, and to TSA. So everybody got a sandwich, all 1291 of

them. So there you go. New world record. Okay. It's paid no to our guild. Hang on, Auditor.
