Taxpaying Citizens All Own Horses with Mustang Champions' Matt Manroe, BLM Wild Horse Specialist Kevin Lloyd, and Outfitter Tim Resch (without AI)

Ever wanted to own a horse? Think all wild horses should just be left to roam free? If you had a horse of your own, how would your life change?

We cover all these questions and more as I piece together 3 men's voices from The Rocky Mountain Horse Expo.  This was one of my most creative podcasts because I had to do a lot of workarounds to improve the audio and create a seamless listening experience for my listeners that still conveys the essence of what is important in these conversations. Clearly, this is the tip of the iceberg, and it is my hope that this podcast will inspire you to go deeper in the adventure of animal ownership or whatever dream your heart really calls you, too.

After all, we only get this one life from what I've heard! So let's make the most of it, and make the most of the beautiful animals we are blessed to call home with us. Thank you to all of our guests and their special stories, and to animal lovers everywhere,

Here is an outline of who you will hear in this podcast and some links to learn more about each:

Tim Resch, from Estes Park Outfitters, followed up with a short zoom call with me during spring break when I discovered that his audio was inaudible and used AI for the original to make it work. You get to hear his real voice in the first 20 minutes of the podcast, and the story everyone is talking about:

"How he traded his wife for a horse!!"

You won't want to miss this one in the first half of this episode. You can find out more about Tim and how to visit him on your horse adventures here:

Around the second half of the episode, we hear from Matt Manroe, Executive Director of Mustang Champions about his experience of working with and training mustang horses in multiple disciplines. When I first met Matt, I thought he said that he had 2 million mustangs placed in his program (I misheard him - he was talking about a grant, I believe). But we both laughed and also considered, creatively, what might be possible if we could get mustangs in to every school and the hearts of school children across the nation. It would not only change the trajectory of the wild horses, the range, and the schools, it would change the trajectory of all humanity.
