Katie Van Slyke - Katching Up With Katie

I wanted to end Hollywood’s show season on a high note, but horses have a way of keeping us humble. 💕On this episode of Katching Up With Katie, I’m with Stephanie and Rachel in Oklahoma City to talk through the first leg of the AQHA World Show. I’m sharing what happened in my Western riding class with Hollywood, why the rest of that ride still meant so much to me, and my thoughts on showing him next year.We’re also chatting about possible training plans for Walter, why the English Versatility Challenge has me excited for his future, and what’s coming up when I head back to show Denver! 🐴It’s been an emotional first year back in the show pen after a decade away, and even with the disappointments, I’m so grateful for these horses and everyone cheering us on.What questions do you have about the horse show?

Winning the Congress with Hollywood was a dream come true, and I’m still soaking it all in! 🐴💕In this episode of Katching Up With Katie, my best friend Dani joins me to recap the All American Quarter Horse Congress and talk about what goes into showing at a big horse show. We reminisce about our shared show partner, Calvin, chat about my return to Western Riding after 10 years, and share the stories behind my rides with Hollywood and Denver.From late-night practice rides to the moments that don’t go according to plan, horse showing is full of learning experiences. I’m so grateful for the horses and people who have helped me get here, and I can’t wait to see what the World Show brings!What would y’all like to hear more about when it comes to horse shows?

I won my first Congress championship in a riding class, and yes… there were LOTS of happy tears! 🏆🐴I’m sitting down at the All American Quarter Horse Congress to catch y’all up on an unforgettable horse show. From my Level 1 Amateur Western Riding win to Denver’s accomplishments in the show pen, I have so much to celebrate, and a 2 a.m. practice ride still ahead!Winning means so much to me, but knowing I gave that ride my very best made it even sweeter. I’m sharing the emotions behind that moment, a few horse show scoring details, and some very embarrassing evidence that Congress exhaustion has officially caught up with me. Apparently, I can post TikToks in my sleep! 😂Of course, I couldn’t get through a catch-up without a few tangents, including my first time running a Dungeons & Dragons adventure. Even my imaginary adventures involve horses and unicorns! What would y’all like me to talk about in my next Congress debrief?

My first KVS Podcast guests are here, and they’ve got me dreaming BIG for Kennedy and Weezy! 🐴I’m sitting down with Lainie DeBoer and Sarah Elder Chabot to talk about the English Versatility Challenge, what makes American Quarter Horses so versatile, and how they’re helping bring new excitement to the AQHA hunter world. From trot poles and lead changes to opportunities for horses and riders at different levels, we’re breaking down what makes this class so special!After some saddle fitting and lessons here on the farm, I’m excited to share what we’re working toward with Kennedy, including helping my Western pleasure girl find her English stride! We also chat about the VS Code Red-sponsored series, the English Versatility Challenge at the AQHA World Show, and my upcoming adventure behind the commentary microphone. 🎙️I loved hearing how much heart these ladies have put into creating more opportunities for horses and the people who love them. Of course, we squeeze in old horse show memories, buckle talk, and a little convincing that I should try jumping! 💕Would you try English Versatility with your horse?

My best friend, a stack of Post-it notes, and a game I severely underestimated… what could go wrong? 😂On this episode of Katching Up With Katie, my best friend Rebecca joins me, Nate, and Matt for a Post-it note number game that gets confusing REAL quick. From chicken nuggets to how many horses I own, I thought we had some pretty good clues, but guessing our numbers was harder than we expected!Then I catch up with Rebecca about the return of her snapping turtle, Snappy, her new animal-inspired merch, and easy recipes for busy nights. Of course, we couldn’t leave without a few tangents about school bus stories and embarrassing phone calls! 💕Should we try this game again with my animals’ names instead of numbers? Let me know in the comments how you think you would do at this game! 🐴Check out Rebecca’s merch, recipes, and more: https://beccamillerco.com#HorseVlog #FarmLife #Equestrian #KatchingUpWithKatie #KatieVanSlyke #GuessingGame0:00 Welcome Back to Katching Up With Katie0:49 How to Play the Post-it Note Game10:41 Round 2 Guess the Number: Matt and Nate23:20 Katie Vs.
