Ep. 03 - OnBoard with Amplify: Animal Husbandry

About this episode

This episode explores the principles of animal husbandry as applied to both Thoroughbreds and goats, featuring insights from broodmare manager Jeremy Harlow.

Animal husbandry is at the heart of every great horse farm—but did you know the same principles apply to goats? In this episode of OnBoard with Amplify , we head to Mill Ridge Farm in Lexington, Kentucky, to meet broodmare manager Jeremy Harlow . While Jeremy’s day-to-day revolves around caring for Thoroughbred mares and foals, he also runs a successful Kiko goat breeding program. From choosing the right traits in livestock to ensuring strong health and proper care, Jeremy explains how the lessons learned in goat breeding mirror those used in Thoroughbred management. You’ll discover how good horsemanship often begins with universal fundamentals of animal husbandry, patience, observation, and a commitment to raising athletes and companions alike.
