In this episode of Horses in the Morning, hosts Glenn DeGeek and Jamie Jennings dive into spring cleaning, April Fools' Day pranks, and the latest in equine news, all while sharing personal stories and humor. Glenn opens up about his chronic Lyme disease and a bizarre doctor visit where he was advised to abandon his 39-year-old vegetarian diet, sparking a hilarious exchange about a 'back-to-meat' program. The hosts reflect on the Artemis rocket launch, nostalgic memories of space missions, and the dry weather across the U.S., including wildfires in North Carolina. They discuss the challenges of barn maintenance, from cobweb removal to water trough cleaning, and share their own barn-building philosophies. A major segment covers a controversial Texas proposal to require veterinarians to oversee all equine bodywork, sparking debate on professional licensing and the role of vet techs. The show features a lighthearted look at April Fools' jokes from Horse Nation, including a fake app to translate horse thoughts. The episode concludes with a gut-wrenching round of 'Really Bad Ads,' where listeners submit absurd and concerning horse listings—ranging from chained horses in dark photos to a horse cart made of two car seats. The hosts express outrage and empathy, emphasizing the dangers of irresponsible horse sales and the importance of due diligence. The emotional weight of the ads leaves both hosts visibly shaken, underscoring the episode’s blend of humor, heart, and hard truths about the horse world.
Spring cleaning barns requires more than just tidying—focus on safety, hygiene, and fire hazards like cobwebs and outdated fire extinguishers.
Be cautious with horse purchases; many 'bad ads' reveal neglect, abuse, or misinformation—always inspect in person and verify the horse’s history.
The push to require licensed veterinarians for all equine bodywork (acupuncture, PEMF, etc.) raises concerns about access, cost, and overburdening vets.
Horse owners should use tools like N95 masks when blowing out dusty barns and consider long-term barn design for efficiency and ease of maintenance.
April Fools' jokes from Horse Nation were clever and fun, but the real-life 'bad ads' highlight serious ethical issues in the horse industry.

Opening & Medical Musings
Glenn opens the show with a candid discussion about his chronic Lyme disease, his recent visit with a wellness doctor who advised him to abandon his 39-year-old vegetarian diet, and the absurdity of being told to 'go back to meat.' The hosts share their emotional reactions and set a humorous, vulnerable tone for the episode.
Spring Cleaning & Barn Maintenance
“Cobwebs are going to catch the bugs. No, what cobwebs do is they spread fire. So if you have a cobweb and it catches on fire, then blows across and catches everything else on fire.”
April Fools' Jokes & Horse Nation
“I want it to be real. I just want that app to exist.”
The Texas Vet Licensing Debate
“It's just idiotic. You know, there's certain things I think, yeah, a vet should be sitting your horse, right?”
Really Bad Ads: The Emotional Toll
“My chest hurts. I'm so angry. Southern Ohio Horse and Tech Facebook page. Andrew sent this one in. And why the hell don't you give me anything with punctuation? Nothing we have today is punctuation.”
“If you don't know anything about something, don't buy something, especially if that something is for your children. Yes, yes. That can kill them.”
“My chest hurts. I'm so angry. Southern Ohio Horse and Tech Facebook page. Andrew sent this one in. And why the hell don't you give me anything with punctuation? Nothing we have today is punctuation.”
