I'm getting so excited for foaling season!!! I miss actually being there for it. It was one of the most physically taxing but most fulfilling times in the barn. Let me say we didn't have foal alerts or cell phones at that time. It would have been such a great help. But I'll be watching and loving all of it! Thank you so much for sharing this with us!! Rest up everyone. 😊
I have been a follower/ watcher really for the last 5,6 months and I enjoy the content. Not just like the animals but I really do like the longer content and the team dynamics and it being authentic..don't get me wrong I really enjoy the short film part cuz thats how I found ya lol but I do like the longer form of content on youtube. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR CREW! thanks again ❤
I’m just hoping for a smooth foaling season. Last year was way too stressful/ sad. Also hoping Erlene understands the assignment and holds it in until January.
This is so fun to see it’s the first time my watching you. I have five beautiful girls in my backyard that are my neighbors. Three are due in February, I believe or later. I’m not really sure, but I love giving them treats and they are so beautiful.
Happy Thanksgiving Katie and family, along with the crew family. I seen a couple foals arrive earlier this year can't wait to see all of them coming. Sure hope Gracie doesn't have an early foal even though Seven is doing so well. Thanks for sharing and hope you have a great day.
Discovering your content via TT and then continuing to follow via Reels and Shorts and long form has actually really helped the post-holiday blues because we go from Christmas to anticipating foals and by the time foaling season is done, the days are much longer and the blues have gone by then. Then the babies keep us smiling through the hot days of summer. Love that “yet” from Katie. I think Phoebe is a keeper LoL especially if she has an uneventful birth.
What a cute little human foal! May I humbly suggest a baby wrap? That way she can ride around and be involved without requiring hands. Girlie is definitely gonna grow up a horse lover. Be prepared Mr. Dad.
When I die, if I am lucky enough to be reincarnated, I want to come back as one of Katie Van Slyke's animals. She takes such good care of them and has a sense of humor about it to top it off! Great thing to come back in Katie's fold!!!
She said she lost like 50 pounds, and she’s doing it the right way which is WONDERFUL💜 next time it may be a bit more considerate to say “healthier” and put the emphasis on that instead of just looking thin. She has expressed that she used to struggle with an eating disorder and often times (at least for me and others that I know, I won’t speak for her, I don’t know her!) it’s better to keep the “skinny/thin” part out of it and keep the focus on her health :)
@arielcolon9530 I totally understand your view but I'm in the category with the people struggling with an ED but again I totally understand your point 😊
I am so hoping for a copy & paste of Ginger, but I also can't wait to see how Phoebe is with her foal because I am really hoping we get to keep her!! She seems so much happier than when she first got there ❤❤
Maybe keep each horse’s measurements written on paper that you slip into the name holders in front of each mare? And update with date/measurements each time
First off, Katie, your hair is gorgeous! I am so jealous. I am curious. I am not a farm girl. What kind of farm do you have? Do you only have animals, no crops? Do you show horses?
What would the average be if they weren't pregnant? I know all horses are different but it would be interesting to have a number to compare these to so it's a little easier to picture how much they grow with pregnancy
Being your assistant, I’m surprised that Abigail doesn’t carry a notebook to record things! Your charts on mama horses bellies, which animals you featured each day, etc., then there’d be no more confusion!
It depends on the situation. C sections are extremely rare, the only time are done is if the mom has passed and they need to try and save the foal, or if the foal has passed and mom can’t deliver it herself.
Miss Katie, I would be most happy to see you be a momma in 2025. I know you're tired of hearing that, but you did ask 😂. A few of your girls are following your lead and losing inches. I've got to say that you look marvelous. I went on the same weight loss journey that you're on in my late twenties. It took 8 months to lose 95 pounds for me. Keep up the good work. You've got this 💯 girl. I know how hard it can be at times, so please don't get discouraged. I am so very proud of you!!! I think you are the exact type of female role model that our female youth of today should emulate.
After listening to Dr. Ursini today talk about feeding seven, wouldn't it be an idea to discuss the possibility of feeding your horses from the ground instead of feed bags or trouths, etc.? The Dr. stressed how much horses are designed to eat from ground level due to their neck muscles and back/spine areas. I'm just curious to see if this pertains to grown horses or just the foals while maturing.
I'm excited to see Gracie. She really didn't get to baby Seven when she had him so early, tho she was there and was so good during all the drama.
Me too
Me too, I’m excited to see Gracie actually get to be a mama.
She is a very good mumma.

Hi Katie thank you for having me along God bless y'all love y'all Happy Thanksgiving to y'all
Love to see all of them. Such beautiful horses. ❤❤❤
I’m just hoping for a smooth foaling season. Last year was way too stressful/ sad. Also hoping Erlene understands the assignment and holds it in until January.
They will keep her on regumate longer to help sustain her pregnancy
I’m excited for them all, but I am more excited for Gracie. She’s such a good mama
I’m so excited to see all the new babies
All of them, I am most excited to see all of them!!🥰
This is so fun to see it’s the first time my watching you. I have five beautiful girls in my backyard that are my neighbors. Three are due in February, I believe or later. I’m not really sure, but I love giving them treats and they are so beautiful.

Your hair is so pretty! Goals :)
Awe!!! The baby is so cute!!! Getting excited for Feb!
Dam girl you looking so much skinnier congrats 😊

@arielcolon9530 I totally understand your view but I'm in the category with the people struggling with an ED but again I totally understand your point 😊
I am truly excited for the foals 😊
I can't wait to meet the beautiful babies your such a good mommy
You look literally wonderful
🎉
This woman is an angel
Love the subtitles 😊
I am so hoping for a copy & paste of Ginger, but I also can't wait to see how Phoebe is with her foal because I am really hoping we get to keep her!! She seems so much happier than when she first got there ❤❤
You look amazing, congratulations on your weight loss!
I'm excited to see Happy and Ginger's babies!! Happy Thanksgiving to all of you and thank you for sharing!!
Love Phoebe's halter! That's very personalized for a mare who is 'not' staying. And that "yet" comment 😂.
Take a look at 8:22 if you missed it.
Yes haha. Katie doesn’t make those halters though, followers send them to her P.O. Box
@abigailmahe9708 ah ok.
All ❤❤❤
Thank you ! Amazing!
Excited to see Kennedys and Ethel's,
I'm most excited to see Ethel as a mama! I missed seeing her as a mama before because I only started watching in the summer of 2023.
Gracie pinning her ears and acting up toward Phoebe! Naughty! 😂
Cant wait to see what Kennedy produces.
She is so beautiful!
Happy’s mane is driving me crazy!! Somebody comb them locks?? :)🐴🤠
I am most excited for Gracie!! No early babies!!!
Right as Im about to gts
I’m excited to be able to see Gracie be an actual mama this year since seven came so early and she didn’t get to mother him
I can't wait for Erlene & Gracie
I need that Sabrina cam 😅
Katie I must congratulate you on weight loss and loss of puffy face. You are looking so great
Maybe keep each horse’s measurements written on paper that you slip into the name holders in front of each mare? And update with date/measurements each time
First off, Katie, your hair is gorgeous! I am so jealous.
I am curious. I am not a farm girl. What kind of farm do you have? Do you only have animals, no crops? Do you show horses?
Gracie 🩷 I love her
matts last komment hope you last😅 love too see how good you guys are together and having fun❤
I am excited for Kennedy baby she is so stunning 💖
Who is her baby daddy ?
Machine Made ☺️
Gracie's got that older "pony" belly. 😂
Mine is Gracie and Ginger
🥰🥰💝
Ethel said I'm a lady. I don't toot! 🤣🤣
I’m changing my mind! Phoebe’s due three days before my birthday and now I’m parasocially attached to the baby 😂
LOVE THE VIDEO AND I AM NEW TO YOUR PAGES SO I DONT HAVE A FAV
What would the average be if they weren't pregnant? I know all horses are different but it would be interesting to have a number to compare these to so it's a little easier to picture how much they grow with pregnancy
Katie doesn't own Pheobe "yet"??! 👀
Right! Did you see Phoebe's Halter at 8:22 ? Has her full name on it, I have a feeling she's staying.
Being your assistant, I’m surprised that Abigail doesn’t carry a notebook to record things! Your charts on mama horses bellies, which animals you featured each day, etc., then there’d be no more confusion!
I love you 😙💞💞😙😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘🆗
I am looking forward to se Phoebes foal. Isn’t she the one who caries the goddie goodie gumdrops foal?
Yes she is!
Please I need Gracie on kitchen towels with her cute pink 🩷 nose.
Gracie being mean to phoebe 😂
YOU'RE DUE NEXT TO LAST GRACIE!!!
Kennedy
Are you still alternating Gracie on grass and dry lot?
I can’t wait to see Gracie and Kennedy with their babies Gracie because she really didn’t get to be a mom last time.. and Kennedy because she’s new
Wish you would give us an update on baby Seven. Has he come home? Remember, not everyone has those other platforms you use.😊
There are weekly updates on her regular Facebook page.
He is not home yet
Can a horse be bred again if they need a c-section?
It depends on the situation. C sections are extremely rare, the only time are done is if the mom has passed and they need to try and save the foal, or if the foal has passed and mom can’t deliver it herself.
How often do pregnant horses get seen by the vet? Is it anything like humans?
They get seen for the initial pregnancy check, and then the heartbeat check, after that they aren’t checked unless there’s an issue
First comment❤❤❤
What does roached her main mean?
Cut it down to an inch or two. Her mane was severely knotted and couldn't be brushed out.
@ thank you for answering my question

Because they eat all day outside these horses are fine. If they never ate from the ground it would be more of a concern
