Today’s Katching Up With Katie is basically a foaling season survival update 😂🐴
We are beyond tired. We have had 3 foals in one week (plus one the week before), and we have been on full watch so long I genuinely do not know what day it is anymore. This is Lindsay’s first ever foaling season, so we sit down and talk about what it is really like behind the scenes when you go from a smooth, fast foaling to a situation where things get scary really fast. We also get into the part nobody thinks about until it happens: the content and storage chaos.
Between regular farm videos, subscriber footage, and multiple long births, we ran out of hard drive space, ran out of card space, and learned that apparently hard drives are in short supply when you need them the most. Add in a sick cow visit and normal chores that do not pause for foaling season, and it has been a WEEK.
In this episode we cover:
My biggest surprises from this foaling season
Lindsay’s first foaling season takeaways and stress moments
The grossest foaling “icks” and what we do with the placenta
Why foal watch wakeups feel like an emergency every time
Where we are with Charlotte, Lexi, the minis, and what is coming next
Why we need to bring back live Dungeons and Dragons nights 😅
If you are here for horse foaling season, mare pregnancy updates, new foals, and real life farm chaos, you are in the right place. Thank you for hanging out with us while we try to keep everyone safe, healthy, and filmed at the same time.
Follow along for more foal watch, baby horses, mares, and all the behind-the-scenes farm updates 🐴🤎

Hey y'all, I'm Katie! Welcome to my...

Foal watch is officially in full swing over here. 😅🐴 We’ve got overdue mares, late nights staring at the cameras, and the internet collectively yelling “GIVE US THE BABY” while I’m over here like… can we maybe wait until it’s at least 40 degrees? 😂
In this episode of Katching Up With Katie, I’m catching you up on where we’re at with the mares in the foaling window, what foal alert actually sounds like (spoiler: it’s way less dramatic than you’d think), and everything else happening on the farm at the exact same time. Foaling season, calving season, breeding season coming up, icy weather, plus some very real detours into snakes, donkeys, and some truly unhinged donkey lore. 🐮🫏🐍
We also talk about how many foals a mare can have, what it’s like foaling out for the first time, how weaning calves works, and how I figure out feed plans for the horses. And yes, we definitely brainstorm a much more dramatic foal alert system that probably needs to exist. 🔔🔥
If you’ve been hanging out on the live streams, thank you for keeping us entertained and awake. I appreciate y’all more than you know. ❤️

Foaling season has officially taken over the farm, and we are tired 🐴💤
In today’s episode of Katching Up With Katie, I’m running on very little sleep as we talk through Q&As and dream trips, welcome a new face to the team, and share what a full week of foal watch actually looks like. I also quiz my best friend on how well she knows my horses, goats, donkeys, and mini cows 🐐
To wrap things up, I share a little surprise I’m really excited about and give an update on what’s coming next as foaling season continues. It’s a mix of exhaustion, laughter, and real farm life. Let me know in the comments how you did on the animal quiz, what your dream trip would be, and whether you think Raven is going to wait until the worst possible weather to have her baby 🤍

Foaling season hasn’t officially started yet… and honestly, I did not see that coming 😅
In this episode of Katching Up With Katie, we’re in that weird lull before the floodgates open, so we’re sitting down to answer your questions. From foaling timelines and freeze branding horses, to breeding decisions, broodmare retirement plans, show rules for mares and stallions, and even which horses would survive a trail ride with the crew — nothing is off the table.
We also talk about:
Why foaling can sometimes take longer than expected
Freeze branding vs hot branding and why breeders choose it
How mares and stallions are managed at horse shows
What happens when broodmares retire
The hardest horses I’ve ever had to send off
Mini cows, safety stories, and a little bit of chaos (as always)
These Q&A episodes let us slow down, catch up, and go a little deeper — so let me know in the comments if you like this format and what questions you want answered next.
If you want to see things first and catch all the behind-the-scenes:
I post more photos and updates on Facebook
Videos and clips go out on TikTok and Instagram
And we’re posting 120–150 Snapchats a day, which disappear after 24 hours 👀
Thanks for hanging out with us, and stay tuned — foaling season is coming.

Foaling season is getting close, and the farm is starting to feel a little extra busy 🐴
In this episode of Katching Up With Katie, I’m sharing what life looks like right before foaling season really kicks off. We’re checking on pregnant mares, talking through foal watch plans, and getting into some very farm-specific debates about what should be playing in the barn during late nights. Of course, things spiral into games, side conversations, and plenty of laughs along the way.
This episode feels like a snapshot of the calm before the storm, all the planning, anticipation, and randomness that comes with getting ready for baby season on the farm. It’s one of those times where everything feels close but not quite happening yet, and I love bringing y’all along for that part of the journey 💕
Let me know in the comments what you’d play or watch during foal watch, or drop any questions you want answered in an upcoming Q&A.
