00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:13,680
Hey there, Tracy here from YQG in Bloom and this is the last podcast here at GL Heritage

2
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:14,960
Brewing Company.

3
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:21,880
We had the farmers market and I have chili here as well as Sarah Park from Sarah Park's

4
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:22,880
horsemanship.

5
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:23,880
How you doing?

6
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:24,880
Wonderful.

7
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:25,880
It's been a beautiful day.

8
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:32,520
I love the sense of community that we have happening celebrating GNL's 7th anniversary

9
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:33,520
in our community.

10
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:34,520
Yeah, it's great.

11
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:36,640
I can't believe that it's been seven years.

12
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:37,640
Hi baby.

13
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:41,400
I'm distracted because I'm sorry this horse is just way too cute.

14
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,240
Well, Chili does, he likes to steal the limelight.

15
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:49,560
So and Caitlin here has, Chili's only problem is he doesn't have a driver's license to drive

16
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:53,040
himself to all of these, you know, all of these events.

17
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:56,440
So Caitlin's assisting him today with his star debut.

18
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,800
So how long have you had your ranch?

19
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:02,680
You're, because you teach too, right?

20
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:03,680
Yes.

21
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:12,440
So I've been horsing around for a very long time, but have been at my homestead since

22
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:13,920
2010 actually.

23
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:20,560
So yeah, 14 years going to sixth generation farmstead.

24
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:30,760
So I love that I'm able to really open up the heritage, the homestead, the horses for

25
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:31,760
everybody to experience.

26
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:36,720
We have a little something for everybody right from our smallest to tallest.

27
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,080
We have a trot and tots program for ages three to six.

28
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:44,240
So our riders actually start at a very young age.

29
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,000
And then Caitlin, how old were you when you started riding?

30
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:48,000
Oh boy.

31
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:49,000
I think I was 11.

32
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:50,000
I think I was 10 or 11.

33
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:51,000
Something like that.

34
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:52,000
Yeah.

35
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:53,000
Yeah.

36
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:54,000
Pretty young.

37
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:55,000
Oh my goodness.

38
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:56,000
Yeah.

39
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,640
I don't even know the last time I've been on a horse to be quite honest.

40
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,320
I'll bet you we can make that happen for you today.

41
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:05,240
I wouldn't want to hurt the poor baby.

42
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,560
Like I said, we have smallest to tallest so we can kind of accommodate.

43
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:09,560
She's in the middle.

44
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:10,560
That's right.

45
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:12,000
And yes, Chilly is in the middle.

46
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:13,000
Yes.

47
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:14,000
He's agreeing.

48
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,000
You had two horses out here today for the kids to meet.

49
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:18,000
Yes.

50
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:23,880
They were very, very good with them because I know my friend's dog was hopped up and was

51
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:25,720
looking them and they were fine with it.

52
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:26,720
That's right.

53
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:27,720
Yep.

54
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:28,720
We had Chilly and Daphne.

55
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:30,880
I think he's probably looking to see where his friend is.

56
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:31,880
Oh yeah.

57
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:32,880
I think he is.

58
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:33,880
Yep.

59
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:34,880
Absolutely.

60
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:35,880
It's okay, baby.

61
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:36,880
Yeah.

62
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:37,880
And like I said, he really just enjoys the limelight, this guy.

63
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:38,880
Why?

64
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,880
Why are you staring at me like that?

65
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:48,200
Yeah, so we invite anybody to come out and visit us on the ranch.

66
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:54,760
We have some wonderful ranch experiences for people who are visiting even from out of town.

67
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,760
Oh, so you do eat.

68
00:02:57,760 --> 00:02:58,760
Yes, absolutely.

69
00:02:58,760 --> 00:02:59,760
That's Chilly's favorite.

70
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:06,680
Lots of grandparents bringing the kids out to experience the ranch.

71
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:08,720
They get to saddle up.

72
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:09,720
That's great.

73
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:10,720
Enjoy the horses.

74
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:11,840
Yeah.

75
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:15,680
You are able to bring them out to different events out here so that people get-

76
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:16,680
We do.

77
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,480
Comfortable and get to know about you guys.

78
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:19,480
We do.

79
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:20,480
Absolutely.

80
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:21,480
Yes.

81
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:27,040
And we really enjoy being able to connect community with the people, with the horses.

82
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:33,840
I tend to think that it wasn't that long ago when a lot of people, even if you didn't grow

83
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,800
up on a farm, you often knew somebody.

84
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:43,560
You had a relative, an aunt, an uncle, a grandma, and grandpa that had a farm.

85
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:47,360
Those opportunities are fewer and farther between now.

86
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:52,600
Having the horses and the opportunity for people, families to come out and join us and

87
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:56,960
experience horses for the very first time is really what we enjoy.

88
00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:02,280
We've got a lot of ongoing programs, the after school program.

89
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:03,840
All kinds of stuff.

90
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:08,720
Kaitlyn is one of our camp counselors and program leaders for our kids summer camps.

91
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:09,720
Oh, that's great.

92
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:11,640
How long are the camps for?

93
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,760
They're for eight weeks throughout the summer and they're for a week at a time.

94
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:15,760
Oh, that's cool.

95
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:16,760
We have eight different weeks.

96
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:17,760
Yeah, it's awesome.

97
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:18,760
Oh, that's nice.

98
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:19,760
Yes.

99
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:23,360
And do you guys have indoor for winter time?

100
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:24,360
We sure do.

101
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:25,360
Yeah.

102
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:30,360
We'll just take, we'll just leave it to Chilly to do the talking.

103
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:34,360
And Marilyn, he needs some new people to come and visit him.

104
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:38,120
Yes, so we are rain or shine and year round.

105
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:39,120
Oh, that's great.

106
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:45,880
I really, I do definitely have to get out there and learn way more about the horses

107
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,400
and about your horsemanship program.

108
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:49,400
Yes.

109
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,960
And Tracy, we, and we do cater to adults as well.

110
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,000
We can't let just all the kids have the fun.

111
00:04:54,000 --> 00:05:00,960
So, you know, we do have certainly, you know, some nice tall horses to accommodate the adults

112
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:01,960
riding well.

113
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:08,520
So I actually, my neighbor had done horse riding lessons in that, I think last year

114
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,800
or the year before and she really enjoyed it.

115
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,000
And I was kind of a little jealous.

116
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,000
Well, I think we can take care of that.

117
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:18,000
Yes.

118
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,400
I'm definitely, yes, I'm definitely going to get out there.

119
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:21,400
Yes.

120
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,560
I'm going to come see you, but I will not sit on you.

121
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:24,560
Yes.

122
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,880
Because trust me, he wouldn't be able to handle that.

123
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:28,880
I don't know.

124
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,920
He's kind of invited you right now to just go saddle up.

125
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:32,920
Right.

126
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,840
But anyway, again, thank you so much for bringing Chillia on.

127
00:05:36,840 --> 00:05:42,240
And we will definitely have to get out to the ranch and do a more proper podcast and

128
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,440
get to see everything that you offer everybody.

129
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:46,440
Yes.

130
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,440
And we were thrilled to be here today.

131
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:56,920
And GL's seventh anniversary is really near and dear to myself, my family, being in the

132
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:57,920
community.

133
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:03,400
Yeah, we're just on County Road 20, just west of the Little White Church on the end of Howard.

134
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,120
So we invite people to come on out.

135
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:07,120
Thank you so much, Sarah.

136
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,520
I really do appreciate it.

137
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,640
And again, my name is Tracy Martins.

138
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,640
This is another episode of YQGM Bloom.

139
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:20,400
And the last one here, sadly to say, during the Farmers Market at GL Heritage Brewing

140
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,360
Company, happy seventh anniversary.

141
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,640
And thank you, Chillia, for being on here.

142
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:26,640
Yes, and Caitlin.

143
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:28,640
And Caitlin, thank you so much.

144
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,640
Caitlin, you always get forgotten over the horses, eh?

145
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:32,640
I know.

146
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,640
It's a story of my life.

147
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:45,520
You guys all have a great day.
