Keely is still on vacation, so today's episode is going to be special for a few reasons. Firstly, we welcome Keagan's partner Jay who has very little knowledge of horses to the podcast. Secondly, this episode is a video so that you don't miss out on what we are seeing. Keagan and Jay rank medieval horse art based on their realism and on "vibes."

In the 2nd part of out Przewalski's Horse topic, Keagan an Keely discuss the incredible comeback of a horse species nearly pushed to extinction. What once might as well have been a mythical unicorn now runs free in its native habitat once again. Yet the Przewalski's horse still faces hardship as a species, and efforts are still being made to protect the species and the delicate ecosystem it exists in.

In part 1 of this 2-part episode (there was a lot of material to cover, can you blame us?) , we explore how this elusive wild horse went from ancient cave paintings to viral fame. We also discuss how imperialism, scandal, and habitat loss conspired to push this species to the brink of extinction. Join us next episode for the story of their incredible comeback.

This episode Keagan and Keely chat about the mysterious history of horseshoes. We also get side-tracked by horses in video games, as we often do.

Have you ever heard of the hipposandal? How about the umugatsu? Before we started nailing U-shaped metal plates onto horse's feet, both were used as hoof coverings. And when did we make the transition in the first place? Today's episode attempts to answer these questions.

This episode Keagan and Keely conclude our list of rare and endangered horse breeds from North America. Many of the horses we cover in this part are Spanish Colonial horses, a breed or group of breeds that can trace their roots back to Spanish colonies and conquistadors. Many strains of Spanish Colonial horse have remained genetically isolated for centuries and are rare due to this isolation.

Luckily, there were horse lovers whose passion for their favorite breed led them to action. Today we will recognize their efforts by exploring the rare and threatened breeds of equine originating from North America.
