In this episode, we are joined by Mariah Alexander. Mariah is originally from the Houston, Tx area, but is now a vet  student at LSU. She is speaking with us on behalf of the Equine Club to promote their event, Equi Day. 
Equi Day is Oct. 7th, 2023 at the School of Veterinary Medicine building. It begins at 8am and you can either pre-register, or simply show up. The cost is $40 and you will be fed breakfast and lunch, and get a goody bag, as well as be eligible for door prizes. There will be lectures and demonstrations on topics like ulcers, what constitutes an emergency, temporary bandaging techiques, and more. 

Sen. Heather Cloud first got into politics to become the mayor of Turkey Creek, after a massive fraud and embezzlement case in that town caused her to see the need for good, solid, and competent leadership from the private sector. She's now about to begin her second term as the State Senator from District 28, representing Acadia, Allen, Avoyelles, Evangeline, and St. Landry parishes.
She's a big supporter of horses, having a few for her family's personal use. She also hosts her main campaign fundraiser at Rustic Sky Horse Camp each year, even adding in a farrier/blacksmithing competition.

We sure like to bring y'all human/horse interest stories about wonderful things going on in Louisiana involving horses. Unfortunately, sometimes it takes disasters to bring about the best aspects of our Louisiana Livestock Community. Beauregard and Vernon parishes have been recently devistated by wildfires from the severe drought southwestern Louisiana has been having. The entire community of Merryville was evacuated, including many animals. As we've seen before, everyday citizens can do amazing things in those times of need and the group called Cajun Cowboy Rescue is a prime example.
Mrs. Stephanie Williams runs Cajun Cowboy Rescue and talks with us about what has occurred, who has helped, what the joys and needs are, and more. Their Facebook page is linked below. If you feel the call to be of service to those in need, please contact them and see how you can help.
