Where to Spend and Where to Save on Horse Supplies with Micah Fae Thomas

My friend Micah Fae Thomas has ridden for 30 years, owned horses for 20, and coached professionally for five. She is also the person who marched me, Chloe, and my mother-in-law through the tack shop aisle saying "need it, skip it, get that at CVS." Her rule: if it's for you, save. If it's for the horse, spend.

In this episode, we get into:

What a brand-new lesson kid actually needs, and when to start buying itWhy the most expensive helmet isn't automatically the safestThe horse expenses Micah would never cut (training rides top the list)Brown mouthwash, diaper cream, maxi pads, and other swaps hiding at the drugstoreThe golf store hack for riding shirtsWhen your kid is actually ready for a rated show (Micah has opinions)

Neither of us is a vet, so run any first aid swap past yours first.

If you've ever stood in a tack shop wondering why a hoof pick costs $70, this one's for you.
