MAY 2020 THE RIDER /13 Hoofbeats Radio May News
By Kim Logue Recent interviews on
the radio show include con- nections we made at the University of Guelph’s Equine Career Night, in- cluding a chat with Barry Finn of the Rider! If you missed the broadcast on
cently, to host a round table discussion with some of the members of Guelph Pony Club, who also ride at HorseWorks in Rockwood. Some of our future shows will include their adorable Horse of the Week seg- ments! We recently congrat- ulated Lyle Lovett’s horse
ture shows will include some product giveaways! We can’t wait to share the details of the prizes and ways to win. With the radio station
on campus now closed due to the pandemic, we have had to shift our processes to create the shows remotely.
to record phone calls. We expect Noelle from Mad Barn to be a returning guest with more tips on equine nu- trition!
We also introduced a
new segment called Equine Podcast Playlist, where we gave a great review to horse
chats.com — and since then,
with Margaret Godson when I was 12 years old. This week I had to spread the word that after 41 years in business, she is shutting down. It was important to highlight that there is a Mol- son and Sally Retirement Fund Raiser for two ex- tremely loyal, generous horses who helped several hundred students learn to ride from their first trot to flying changes.

Smart & Shiney for being hoofbeats horse of the week, with more related music and conversation, which was an- other fun segment we hope you enjoy. We would also like to
highlight our discussion with Dr. Gordon Chang of Omega Alpha, which is cer- tainly worth a listen. We are pleased to mention that fu-
So, our broadcasts have been less focused on the musical components that our programming usually offers, but nonetheless there are at least a few musical gems built in.

I was invited as an interview guest with Glenys Cox! The intention is to share that recording on hoofbeats as well. There is so much pas- sion and knowledge in our equine sector, it was great to connect to an expert based in Australia. One topic we touched
on is that I started riding at Myrddin Equestrian Centre,
beautiful show pens we offer classes for a variety of disciplines including games riding, western pleasure, and english pleasure.
