Spring Cleaning, Bad Vegan and Realli BAD Adz for April 3, 2026 by Kentucky Performance Products - Horses in the Morning

In this episode of Horses in the Morning, hosts Glenn DeGeek and Jamie Jennings dive into spring cleaning rituals, April Fools' Day pranks, and the realities of horse ownership with humor and heartfelt honesty. Glenn shares a surreal doctor’s appointment where he’s urged to abandon his 39-year vegetarian diet, sparking a hilarious debate on dietary dogma and wellness culture. The conversation shifts to the awe-inspiring Artemis rocket launch visible from their homes, evoking nostalgic memories of space exploration. They tackle practical barn maintenance—cleaning water troughs, cobweb removal, and tack room chaos—with candid confessions about hoarding and the psychological toll of disorganization. A deep dive into equine healthcare policy debates follows, questioning whether non-veterinarians should be allowed to perform certain treatments like PEMF or vaccinations, with both hosts expressing cautious support for vet techs but strong opposition to overregulation. The episode culminates in a biting segment on 'Really Bad Ads,' where listeners submit absurd horse sales listings—ranging from a horse that dances by being whipped to a cart made of two car seats and shafts—highlighting the dangers of unvetted online listings. The hosts end on a raw note, with Glenn admitting to mood struggles and medication, underscoring the emotional labor behind podcasting and horse care. Despite the fatigue, the show remains a celebration of community, resilience, and the absurdity of life with horses. Key takeaways include: 1) Prioritize safety and mental health over perfection in barn maintenance; 2) Be skeptical of online horse sales—always inspect in person; 3) Support vet techs and trained professionals to ease the burden on veterinarians; 4) Use humor and community to cope with the emotional weight of horse ownership; 5) Never underestimate the power of a well-timed, well-punctuated ad—especially when it’s not about horses.
