Answering Your Questions | EP. 3

[@conniefarrar7181]

Call it "Beyond the farm!"

[@esims310]

So good or "Beyond the Barn" for some alliteration 😅

[@jyonnaK999]

yesss good name for a podcast too

[@franhorton5166]

Don't open your home up to the public. Insurance would increase significantly. It's also not worth losing your privacy.

[@RJFalcon4]

I third the name suggestion, "Beyond The Farm." Maybe "Beyond The Farm: Q&A." Getting super podcast vibes! I love this series. 💜

[@houseofharris5312]

Yes I would love a podcast!

[@christinacatalfamo9972]

I would absolutely love to see “A day in the life of Abigail”!!!!!❤

[@louisianagirl4585]

Katie we get it that’s your home. Don’t do it some people will ruin it for all. 🥰

[@JessicaNace-km8vi]

I agree but she isn't going to open up her farm. She's talking about doing it somewhere like Highpoint where VS Code Red is so people wouldn't come to her farm. They would go there instead for it. Her farm is her safe place and it definitely wouldn't be good to have it there because people can be crazy and they do some shady things.

[@Lextacy06]

​@JessicaNace-km8vi No, she's talking about Running Springs. She said she'd consider doing something like Highpoint does with their open house event. I don't think it would be a good idea, at all. Not with how psychotic some fans are... sneaking on their property, going to the Vet clinic to "visit" seven, attacking other horse owners/breeders, and attacking clients of Running Springs. That's just asking for trouble.

[@emilieanne8127]

I enjoy these Q and A sessions 😊 You could call them Kickin' Back with Katie!

[@ashleyaltman6502]

❤ this name

[@ashleyaltman6502]

Just horsing around with Katie. Just he hawing with Katie and friends.

[@cindybarbier841]

I cannot believe that someone who has probably never spent one day on a farm, thinks that your animals are being used or however they put it. I'll tell you most animals would go crazy to live on such a wonderful farm. I think people forget that they are animals not humans. They have been here living hard lives way before the internet came along and used to make people a living and a lot of time for food. Farming is not all a glamorous life and too many trolls do not understand actual farm life. Your animals are so well loved and taken care of while still being working animals. Katie stay strong and don't let these trolls get you down. They know not what they speak.😊❤

[@KirbeyStephenson]

Literallt got blocked from a tiktok content creator's, for standing up for you and pulling her up for bullying. I will never understand why people.feel the need to pull others down. I love your content. My son who is 7 and Autistic loves your content. Its our bonding time watching your videos 💖 thank you

[@JenniferSikes-z5h]

I have as well they called me part of the katie cult. They were getting really ugly about katie and code red and her followers

[@autumnmille8192]

If your animals are under “torment and misery,” I would’t mind being “tormented miserable” as one of your animals. Your animals know nothing but love and that shows in every single one of your videos. The amount of trust they show not just you but your barn staff and vets is incredible. ❤

[@sherrenmouradian7704]

I think a mock race at the old track would be awesome!! Just for fun, not for super speed. Maybe Katie vs mom

[@kristinacalli6082]

Great idea. My money's on Squirt! 😆

[@VickeySmith-ev4if]

I like “Beyond the Farm”. It really fits. I’m a night owl too

[@Estellemusic]

Keeping up with Katie

[@JaneBrown-r9u]

I love Dick Van Dyke!!!!

[@brittanybeaird9440]

Katie's Korner.....Like when you say "Kooking with Katie" for Passionate Pennypincher" 😊

Katie u should just do a pod cast bring all the crew

[@swanicesmith]

It is amazing that people think your animals are in pain or mistreated in anyway. If you don’t like what Katie does unfollow her, she doesn’t need you or your hateful comments. People just be nice!🩷

[@andrearunning2152]

Add to the fact that the horses (and cows) are doing what they would normally do, have babies every year or so. It's natural. Katie just decides when it's going to happen for the horses and, she makes sure they end up on good farms.

[@heatherwinkelman2976]

You all need to watch Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and the original Mary Poppins 😉

[@darlenedurgan1340]

Super classics! And the fact that he can still do the step in time dance at his age?

[@sandragillingham6255]

I really don't understand why ppl want to visit social media creators where they live. It's actually creepy. Please, they need some privacy 😂

[@Anonymous-mh6wn]

Question/request for next time: Can you tell us more about your cows (reds and blue roans). When did you buy them, who had babies when, who did you sell. And who will have babies this year. Thank you

[@foxxybrown291]

I still don’t understand why people feel the need to tell someone who’s been around horses their whole lives what to do with their horses 😂😂😂 💓💛💓

[@mandamali1055]

This! 😂 I just don't get it

[@cheryljones3861]

Totally agree!! Jealous maybe

[@Puglady2000]

Right?! People do that to me about my pugs, sometimes. Yes, please educate me on the breed I've owned for 34 years! lol

[@pamgervais2835]

You’re officially aging when you know who Dick Van Dyke is.

[@Puglady2000]

@@pamgervais2835 Well, Katie knew and she's in her 20s! That disproves your comment right there! Lol

[@karenfreedman9180]

My mouth dropped open the same time yours did when they said they didn’t know who Dick Van Dyke is!!😮

[@JenniferAguiartampa]

Katie-no reason to open your farm to the public. You give enough via social media. Maybe someday, have an official petting zoo as a non-profit for schools to be able to use as field trips & little kid birthday parties. You could charge extra for meet & greets that could go towards saving a mare from a kill pen to be a recip mare. Lots of ideas to connect to the public in person without having them in your home.

[@LillyLou]

I’m a little late to the party, but yes. Don’t open up Running Springs to the weird public we have today. Maybe, some day in the future, Katie could buy a separate property for the mini farm and use that as a petting zoo (as you mentioned) or something else. Maybe bring a few of the ‘less’ valuable horses from time to time. But keep your home private.

[@kristenjennings1240]

I say just make it a new podcast and call it inside RS or The Official Running Springs podcast. Get mom and dad in there, too!

[@adriannacunningham9789]

I think the perfect example that shows how deeply you care about your horses is Phoebe. (Very sorry if i spelled that wrong) She’s a recip you don’t even own. Yet you took the time to desensitize & make her feel better by trimming her main. Just look at how her actual owners took care of her. Just like a puppy mill that has no respect for the breed or values on life. Long time fan though and keep doing what you’re doing Katie!

[@christinacatalfamo9972]

Also, I’m dying to know what was said when it was all bleeped out🤣

[@arnikad3794]

Yes!!! 😂😂😂

[@smpackage25]

Me too!!

[@annaraab8853]

Tormented? Those people are nuts. Your animals are all very well taken care of.

[@adriannasrebornnursery9683]

Chatting with Katie Keeping it real with Katie

[@HaleyWebb18]

The name for the video: The behind the scenes with Katie! I 100% agree with the question that was asked “can people come visit your farm” people doesn’t realize that’s where you live and where your homestead is!! I wouldn’t want complete strangers around my property and where I’m from we confront strangers in the country way! 😂 it’s a liability when you have a farm and you have so many animals to protect! Your advise about what you would give to younger self is beautiful, your super blessed to be where you are and you have every right to tell people you made it! You’re inspiring and love watching the animals! Don’t stress and love what you’re doing! Although from the videos I see it always looks like you’re super happy and just meant to be on camera!

[@constancebunn194]

I’d love to see more of you and your hubby!!! Those sessions are amazing!!! 🤩😍

[@kingracer5]

😮my jaw just fell to the floor! Who doesn’t know Dick Van Dyke?!?!

[@One2skipafew99100]

Same! That’s so so wrong 😂. Like has Abigail never seen Mary Poppins? 🤦🏻‍♀ 😂

[@bethanykearsley3611]

The same people who think Van is her middle name? 😂

[@LindaEzolt]

I like the Kickin It With Katie someone suggested earlier.

[@LacyyGerelli]

“Their torment and misery?!” I’m sorry but these animals get pampered better than most house cats! Katie and her team love these animals and give them the best care and amenities❤️

[@purpledragonfly4]

*I wouldn't ever risk it by opening your home to the public, even once a year. The level of entitlement from trespassers is already unreal, it would get worse. Imagine people not getting tickets and trying to show up anyway?!*

[@riseupfortheLord]

Her response on the last question was so amazing ❤

[@wendyduncan6933]

You should call this Kutting up with Katie. My question is what was it like growing up as an only child. Did you ever wish you had siblings? We know you show horses, but did you show cows, goats, or any other animals?

[@MakenzeeLove]

I like the name “Beyond the Farm: Q&A”. Saw someone else suggest it

[@carriewynard1043]

Loved the comment about calling this Beyond The Farm. I feel this is a great suggestion and would be nice to see it Beyond The Farm.

[@tiffanylynn7404]

I’ve always wondered what it would be like to own a huge farm like Katie does and have a little one running around. I have a 7 month old who loves Katies videos, especially the horses!!

[@reneewalker9634]

I like what others suggested “Beyond the farm” or “Beyond the farm with Katie”. It is the BEST Q&A session ever!! Also, I don’t blame you for wanting to keep the public away from your home. As much as I want to hold those baby goats, I’m not able and that’s good with me!! ❤❤❤❤

[@jessicahandley7986]

I love these Q&A sessions!! They are great!

[@ashleylake4795]

Conversations with Katie 😊

[@bridgetterollins5798]

Born and raised in Watertown TN! I was so excited to hear you mention my little home town! Life has now brought me to Smith County, but my heart will always be in Watertown 💜🤍 Also, another funny thing is we recently rescued a Red pitbull and named her Honey, and my nickname, since I was a kid, has always been BB. lol so when you named the baby goats I thought it was so cool! Love your videos and all your animals. Thank you for sharing!

[@debdavis8423]

Katie, I Really enjoy the Q&A. You had some great suggestions for a name other than Q&A. Thank you for sharing this with us. To all the judge mental people out there, “Get a Life”. For heavens sake this is Not your farm, Not your animals. Either enjoy and take in what Katie is sharing or unfollow her. Soooo tired of negativity and cut downs.

[@villekullamalin]

We nead to see Jonathan and Kimmys "light of his life" relationship. 😍

[@sharoncollier5715]

I had a welsh quarter horse pony. Her name was Cindy. She moved beautifully. She wasnt my first pony, but so much sweeter than a shetland.

[@shanaydye979]

That's neat all the ponds are spring fed!!

[@AndreaCarlisle]

Love your advice on your last question. I was the same anxiety-ridden teenager. 😅

[@darj6979]

The name of your Q&A’s “Inside with KVS” BTW…bring back the duo Q&A’s with Jonathan…love your horsey quizzing! What a trooper 😁

[@aj.padilla]

"Social Chat" getting questions feom social media and chatting about the topics 😊

[@skyenickerson2720]

Actually love these q & a's sooo much!!! ❤

[@peggyberger6403]

I love these Q&As! I think we should call these Sits and Sips!

[@meganduskey]

I like "Beyond the Farm" or "Kickin' Back with Katie"

[@faithmusser5219]

Love the q&a. Love your posts! If I were younger I would come work for you. 😊 Having worked on a Arabian horse farm and owning my own stallion was the best part of my life. There are so many things available now that we didn't have then. The science that goes into now is interesting. Our horses goats and other animals were very pampered like yours. We even had a Xmas party for them. Which took months of preparation. Usually 100 people or more attending. It's a gift God gives us to be able to communicate with animals. Keep up the great work!!

[@kindreebaylay2378]

I watched you on-line purchase VS Code Red and have been following you since. I have shown hunters/jumpers when I was 15 to 30 in Canada. & USA. Love you on Facebook! Regarding 7, no negative comments. Totally understand what you are doing for him and imagine what he is care is contributing to the Veterinary world! I am sad about the negative comments. They are mostly from people that know nothing about animals. Do you have siblings? Keep up your wonderful videos. 🇨🇦

[@alancarter2227]

Only child of an only child.

[@sheilamesick96]

Love these Q&A’s

[@roseturner3726]

[@LoriProctor-hz6ik]

Loved this episode. Thanks Katie for doing these.

[@Kalibby22]

i had no idea you broke your back, oh katie I'm so glad that ended up better than it could have

[@ceilephelps8633]

Katie, I'm amazed at how your fingernails are so perfect especially since your career is horses! Also, you're a boss singer!!!

[@ndb_1982]

Behind The barn or Kicked Back With Katie. ❤

[@williamweikum8463]

I can relate with Johnathan I had my 8 ld mini Dauchound kalani she was my baby girl. 8 days after her 13th b day we had to put her down. Cancer sux. So when you said that dog is his everything. Yeah. 250 lb biker cryed like a baby for a long time still tear up when I think of her. And that was in February.

[@TheKasienichole]

Question and convos with Katie and Abigail!

[@Brianna.00]

Call it something with "Chats" in it! Also yup, the Dutch put Van in front of a lot of ladt names lol. Van Der Veen. Van Der Muelen. And so many more haha

[@morrisfurs]

Keeping up with Katie, since it is hard to keep up with your accumulation of animals.....

[@antikathy]

Listen to Abigail immediately knowing what 14 hands means! You go girl!

[@pambaker1982]

I can relate to being a night owl and not an early riser. 🙋🏻‍♀️

[@kathyrabin6696]

Katie’s Choice

[@ashleyfields9085]

Has Abigail never seen the original Mary Poppins?? Dick Van Dyke was in that. He played at least 2 roles.

[@bettystackpole3106]

Thank you 😊, I did enjoy 😊 ❤Q.& A with Katie

[@kaysefton3421]

I love these q+a’s definitely keep them coming. I think “beyond the barn” is a perfect name. A question for the next one tho. How does Katie’s parents react to her when she buys the new animals?? And is ur mama gonna be able to keep honey?? 😂😂😂 x

[@jleigh4x441]

“The Nitty Gritty with Katie & Abigail” ❤

[@RuthannGriffith-s9o]

Katie I absolutely love watching you with all your animals. Which of all the animals is your absolute favorite animal? I'm also sending my condolences for your loss of cool and her foal . Are you getting more goats and mini cows ?

[@darlenedurgan1340]

Love this series! Would you ever grant a Make-A-Wish?

[@rochelletakacs2708]

I love these Q and A’s😊

[@danirlcecil3564]

I remember my lil brother Danny (10 yrs my junior) would say the word 'slyke' meaning "it's like" That's what I thought of when you said it's from slyke! ❤️ I'm three times your age so I'm surprised you know who Dick Van Dyke it. But that's cool! 😎 Love this video. Thx for sharing so much of your life with us.

[@mayrafuentes4365]

Question ❓ Would you ever consider recording music 🎶 since your voice is so beautiful? Whats your favorite song ❓

[@shannonplummer4342]

Getting to know Katie Van Slyke and farm life

[@MPFrisbee]

I would like more stuff regarding you and Jonathan

[@beverlyforward7173]

Well done! I’m so glad you are who you are!

[@jennimul6122]

So relatable as a night owl too I can’t do life before 8am but as a mom when my kids are in school we have to get up at 5:20 woooo that sucks 💯😂🤦🏼‍♀️

[@cheryljones3861]

Spilling the dew.. as Katie loves Mountain Dew..

[@cyndihoward9043]

I look forward to every one of your posts on KZbin and TikTok

[@Anonymous-mh6wn]

Can you explain a little about the timeline for getting a foal to a show horse. Like when do they start training, at what age do they usually start actively showing in their careers? Hank is the only pervious baby we have really seen perform.

[@bethanycokerham4245]

What is five things we don’t know about you? I have serious health issues and all your videos help me so much!!

[@haley2450]

Kickin’ it with Katie!

[@stefaniekelly5989]

Thank you for sharing. I knew you were a night owl and was wondering when you got all your correspondence done?

[@Eoghan-y4q]

In the video this changed my life on tt (when u bought Waylon) u said Seven minuets 7 months later Seven was born

[@MelicaEighty8]

the demon voice! They did Katie dirty? Some people need to realize the idea about opening Running Springs to the public is that not only is Katie responsible for her horses but, also horses that people pay Katie to boarder there. I believe it's only a handful. But, it would not be good if something were to happen to those horses and her horses because Katie opened Running Springs up to the public.

[@shopahauliquewithjacquelin7025]

Completely understand not wanting the liability of tours, especially since it is also your home. However, it is a great way to introduce people to the sport and show off your horses. You could do an annual appreciation day and limit access to friendly areas, and access to limited merch. Until Secretariat, TB farms did not do public tours. Penny Chenery asked Claiborne how they were going to handle his fans. They said they weren't. She said they would have to. Ever since them TB farms have regular public tours. Since I have an extremely well-bred mare, I can visit any farm with little notice and they will pull the top stallions out for me (Curlin and American Pharoah are quite impressive in person). Lane's End let me pet the most expensive horse in the world, Flightline, who is worth $184MM and Gainesway let me pet Flightline's sire of sires and my colt's grandsire, Tapit, worth about $130MM, though he is close to retirement at 23. My currently chestnut colt may go gray thanks to his pink skin and Tapit, but I forgive him.

[@erinhazelgrove1590]

Question - would you ever start doing tours of the farm? Maybe there is a way to make it safe for the animals & the people?🩷 sending so much love!

[@jadewhite3155]

You need a podcast

[@AndiLovesMolly]

Now I am curious about the question that got bleeped out. Especially since it made everyone laugh. :) Please share.

[@kayleyschneider3824]

Could you speak more about the kill pen for horses. We have all these rescues for dogs/cats but horses just seem to get throwing out like nothing. How is it not a crime to send a neglected horse to a kill pen? Thank you! ❤

[@shannonnicholas5621]

I think it would be great to sell so many tickets once a year and use that money towards the farm. Nothing wrong with alittle extra money 😊

[@annettawalters8289]

Chatting with Katie

[@ADPYTChannel]

Asking again cause im interested... What fo you see for the future of the barn, are you going to reno or rebuild. Its great but I know there is natural wear and tear.

[@ashtheblueeyedpoet]

Well for Q&A and get to know yous, they're often called "Fireside Chats" in the corporate world, so maybe "Barnyard Chats"? I also like beyond the farm that everyone else suggested.
