In this episode of Horses in the Morning, hosts Glenn DeGeek and Jamie Jennings kick off with a lively discussion about tax day, listener engagement, and a heart-wrenching story of a two-year-old retired racehorse found abandoned in a field with a severe fetlock chip injury. The horse, delivered to Glenn through a rescue, was in critical condition with no prior care, but thanks to the generosity of Horse and Hound Rescue Foundation, a $3,000 surgery was arranged to remove the chip and give the horse a chance at a comfortable life. The emotional story underscores the importance of equine rescues and the compassion behind their work. The episode then transitions into a heartfelt 'Where Are They Now' segment with eventing legend Kim Walniss, who reflects on her legendary horse Grey Goose, the making of the movie *Sylvester*, and her evolution into remote coaching, animal communication, and life mentorship. The hosts reminisce about how *Sylvester* inspired a generation of riders, including themselves. The episode closes with a mix of equine history highlights and bizarre news stories, including a man driving backward for 20 miles due to a mechanical issue, Baby Jessica’s arrest at age 40, a zebra named Zeus escaping repeatedly, and a drunk man attempting to hijack planes at Daytona Beach Airport. The episode blends empathy, humor, and education, celebrating the enduring spirit of horses and the people who love them.
