The seven dwarfs would be a cute theme for the mini goats

[@cathrengladwin3558]

Yes! I was thinking the same 😭🩷

[@rebeccahartley1896]

Omg yes!!!

[@DaughterofYahuah85]

That's a great idea

[@SophiePilgrim-qb6qu]

I would love to know the back story of how it all started with Running Springs! How did the farm come to be in the family and how it grew to be what it is now? Also, what are your plans and visions for the future of Running Springs?

[@cedarcreekfarms949]

Yes! We need a where it all began with the parents! Great idea!

[@deannapace3297]

Love this idea. I hope Katie sees this and considers it.

[@rebeccadavis8248]

Yessss i want to see one with her parents

[@shitshowsupervisor4]

Loved this!!! I’m still laughing about the 💨

[@ZestyAsh]

Begging you to start a weekly podcast/ long episode that is this style! I think it would be so fun to just recap on the week and tell funny stories like this!

[@Good.ol_girl96FF]

Yessss this is a great idea

[@JP-mt6oj]

I would listen to her podcast!!

[@brockandbobbysmom]

That would be amazing... The 4 of them around the mics chatting about the weeks ups and downs.

[@sarahadams3573]

Something I've been dying to know is what Abigail, Nate, and Matt's work schedule is, and how their pay is determined. Do they get hourly or salary?

[@marisastracner3973]

I was giggling during the video but I completely lost it when you told the Abigail and the King bed story and the LOOOONG BLEEPING 🤣🤣

[@taylsgirl13]

Omg my question made it in!!! Thanks for taking the time to answer Katie! I’m sure we’d all love to hear more about your college days😂🥰

[@shelbyepperson]

You wishing to be a trick rider for the longest time make me blush😊 as I’m a professional trick rider and have been following that dream. It’s been a little more difficult since having my daughter but I’m still doing it and performing around the country! My two year old daughter and I have been enjoying your videos so much! I have a bachelor degree in agriculture business with an emphasis in animal science so I love learning things I didn’t learn there and seeing someone share a passion and knowledge about agricultural to the level that you are! Keep it up! 💪🏼 P.S. I’m a full blown croc girl 😂

[@jennifermays4777]

The one question or video I would love is a round table with everyone mom dad Jonathan the crew. Basically us asking questions on how this has changed everyone from running springs! Where yall want to go from here. Five , 10, 20 year goals for the farm. I love the videos where mom and dad get to weigh in on things. Or having discussions where they have seen things change from where they were running it before.

[@pambrooks8231]

Oh yes the round table with everyone would be great !!! Everyone just relaxed and talking about the passed and how it got started etc..

[@Dragonfly31133]

Now we need this on TikTok and it no bleeped out Katie 🤣🤣🤣

[@huttzgul]

I saw on TikTok a girl that was upset that Katie breeds so much and doesn’t sell the horses , but as long as they aren’t mistreated I say to each there own , I love the channel and all of the animals are very well kept !! Keep Growing Katie

[@Sue_z_q]

She does sell. Hank is prime example.

[@bowkatiewow]

She does sell them though 😅 so I’m not sure where this person is coming from

[@gtfo3609]

Isn’t she just selling phin and petey?

[@huttzgul]

I don’t know I’m a fan of Katie so I don’t care if she sells em or not as long as they are taken care of . And she does that !

[@secretsquirrel7374]

She's just sold Howie and Freddie, Phin and Petey are being prepped for the sales too. She also sold Ivy and Johnny to the same person. And she sold Hank.

[@lillaszucs5639]

I'd love a podcast type setting with Abigail if she's okay to be on camera. You guys are histerical together.😂❤

[@SCDawgFan3]

Y'alls laughter had my cheeks hurting from smiling so much. I love to hear it.

[@lisagilbert8472]

Keep it up! I love the questions given blindly, the reactions are so true. 😂😂

[@asheyeakin545]

Regarding the footwear around horses, I totally understand what you mean. I’ve worn sandals, flip flops, crocs, barefoot, etc around horses and have definitely been stepped on while wearing said footwear. My mom has a photo of me still in diapers standing out in the pasture petting one of our mares with nothing but a diaper on.

[@luannmansfield3248]

Very cute Q and A! Note: poor Abigail, you know what you will be forever remembered for. Sorry. Flower theme would be cute. Or, different country landmarks. Lady Liberty (could be two names.)

[@janheier5970]

They do have a Posy and a Poppy, it’s a start!

[@meganmedlin2101]

If Abigail is comfortable with it, I would love to see her in front of the camera with you! Yall are so fun together

[@sjacks15]

I think it would be cool to continue the letter trend with the goats. You’ve got all Bs, this group about to be born could be Cs, if you have more around Christmas they could be Ds (December would be a cute goat name 😉). That would last you 13 years or more depending on how often you breed.

[@darlenedurgan1340]

Which of the minis is everyone's(Abigail, Nate & Matt) favorite, least favorite? After Bo who is the oldest horse with Cool's passing?

[@PuddinsMonster]

I've been following you for several months now via fb, ig, here, and I have to say I really love these videos. You cover so much in your other videos, but this one helps you cover all the stuff you don't have time to talk about or for us to get to know you better as a person. You are amazing and a pure ray of sunshine!!!!!!!!!

[@nenaturning3859]

You and Abigail wearing flip flops cracks me up. I had a horse (Daisy) for a little while, a mare that was pretty sassy. While cleaning her hooves and brushing her one day I was having 😂an argument with my 14-year-old son. Daisy stepped on my foot and then wouldn’t get off! I had to be non-weight bearing for a bit, then in a boot for two months, then physical therapy. My thinking was that she wanted us to stop arguing.

[@artangel1115]

Ah, watching all of your videos makes me a bit nostalgic for my days working around horses. I wouldn't trade what I do now of course, but I wish I could squish it all together so I could be around the giant beasties again.

[@TeresaWashenberger]

How about a precious stone theme for the goat babies .. like Sapphire, Ruby, Onyx, Diamond

[@txloopnlil]

Nah..at leaat not Ruby. There was an old colorful oilfield saying that went - "That's as obvious as a ruby in a goat's a$$!"

[@Indigoturtle4581]

Ideas for Themes: Constellations Capital cites (states, countries) Fandoms (HP, LOTR, TV, Video game, and anime characters) Big Cats

[@mustangsally879]

SPN names!

[@Indigoturtle4581]

[@ServiceDogPaws]

😂😂😂 This was great. I’m an Abigail too though.😂❤ Katie did you ever compete? And what is your favorite riding discipline? Do you have a favorite memory riding you can share?

[@peggyberger6403]

Omg! Love this! Would love to hear more funnies and bloopers! Katie your laugh is contagious!

[@marian_erquiaga595]

3:15 when I was raising for goats for FFA, I named them after alcoholic beverages. It went hand-in-hand with my cows that were named after vegetables.

[@Carriedabout]

I think a great name theme would be dance styles. “Cha cha, canary, Charleston, fandango, hula, jitterbug. Jive, twist, shuffle, tango, mambo, polka, jig, limbo, salsa, samba, shimmy. I could keep going… 😂

[@sierrashannon4940]

It would be so awesome to have a boss like you you're so professional But realize that you guys are human and enjoy each other's company

[@mikacota8701]

You guys are such a good vibe! I love all your videos! I wish I had friends like you ❤

[@deedee200]

Love the Q&A’s. Rock Band Theme…Ozzy, Queen, Montley, Kiss, Joan Jet….or Band member names like Mick, Slash, Axel, Prince, Lionel. Card game or Board Games theme…Black Jack, Poker, Ace, Heart, Diamond, King , Queen , Jack, Cribbage, Spades, Bridge, Uno, Pinochle, Gin Rummy….Monopoly, domino, Trivia, Scrabble, Simon, Clue , Chess, Checkers, Marbles, Risk, Catan, Parcheesi…. Just some ideas….love the theme ideal. Have a blessed day & I look forward to more videos.

[@laraemitchell9064]

The only thing I have to say is the Q&A video needs to be to be much longer than this one. Otherwise I’m here for it!!

[@kimberlythompson5383]

Dang it! Y'all need to do a podcast or something so we can hear the good stuff. 😂😂😂

[@sweethaven5]

2:58 Wait a sec, y’all do have themes, PowerPuff!!!😂

[@mariontheantiquarian7849]

That was so funny! Definitely need more. Y’all are so cute. I love Abigail’s giggles & I have 2 boys that are about Nate & Matt’s & I definitely know that they act like middle schoolers all the time. 😂😂😂

[@RainbowRescue1996]

Katie, thank you for sharing with us, I really enjoyed this video, and it was funny.

[@kathydemaria]

I think this a great idea! I laughed so hard when you told the story about you and Abigail!!!! That made my day! I have always loved horses but was a city girl so didn't have a lot of opportunity to go riding unless it was a stable that you went with a bunch of people. I am older now so I live that dream vicariously through watching you and your horses. You have a great team that works with you!

[@julivand2774]

Katie & crew,,, sure do love all you do & these Q&A are really a highlight of all things... ❤❤❤❤😊😊😊 Please sing to the your animal children more....

[@franvickers67]

You and the KVS crew appear to enjoy each other. It shows❤❤❤ The smiles and laughter are contagious.

[@Brianna.00]

I loved this! I really like how casual it feels and the set up!

[@Natilee_barrel-racing]

This was amazing! We definitely need more q and a

[@SarahCarter-r4z]

Y'all are too cute! I love the camaraderie! Wish we could see all the tomfoolery that goes on!

[@samanthaorchard6174]

You may have said this throughout your videos, but do you wean all your animals according to the farmers almanac? While you have said, in this video, that food names are out of the running, have you ever thought about drink names, for example, espresso, white tea, near me money order Animals, sugar, and the other spice I’m good to go on and on but I’m sure you get my meaning by this. Looking forward to the second and many more Q&A videos. Although I am liking the ones with you and Jonathan or just you and whoever is asking the questions.

[@lyndsaygrove4777]

You recently acquired Charlotte?At rescue I she is such a sweetheart.I was wondering, are you planning any more rescues in the future?

[@Bambimagic2410-tv7hp]

I really enjoyed this! A question id love to put to Katie is What type of horse is a Katie horse? Everyone jokes its reds but you've said no so what is your type? ❤❤

[@janeenbeetle8794]

I LOVE THIS VIDEO! It’s been amazing watching the mini farm grow and develop. Can you tell us more about the history of Running Springs? I love all your videos, they are the highlight of my day. Also maybe a get to know Dr. Matthew video could be fun too.

[@yvonnedavidson8763]

Awesome Q&A! Since you are in gardening mode, how about naming the goat kids after flowers?

[@cherylrussell7658]

I just really love the dynamics y'all have. It's like a group of siblings just having fun together. Keep bringing these videos to us. Love them. ❤

[@sierrashannon4940]

I want to see a Q&A with Abby

[@CannyLiisa]

Thank you so much for sharing you life with us. You are a light to my day. I live 10 north of a small town of 500. So, I am quite secluded here. We have turkeys, bears, deer, and various other wildlife here in the Northwoods of Minnesota. (which is a huge change for me) I lost my riding (motorcycle) partner to a stroke in 2023, of which i am now a full-time live-in caregiver to him. We also lost our oldest son, of 3 sons, (34, 32, 31) in 2023, one week after his dad had his stroke. You are a gift to me!!

[@julainadavila2196]

I think a holiday named theme would be be a unique way to name the new babies. I vote for Halloween. It's my birthday month. There are so many cute fun or spooky options options.

[@carolSchiffhauernottingham]

I love this and the layout. Keep them coming. Got a good question, why are the stallions in another facility? And why are the foals sent away for training?

[@zigyzagg]

Stallions are at those places due to alot of people such as Katie don't have a place set up for a stallion as having a stallion takes alot of work and you need a good set up. As far as training goes : Alot of people arent able to train their own horses or don't have a space to do that , So they send them to people who can do that

[@louisesharpy]

I love hearing about all of the horses. Their pictures as babies and then seeing all of them now. Also the new foals etc .. but this is so much fun learning about it all !! Naming the goats. Game of thrones ?? They may be kinda mid evil or if you like Harry Potter

[@windwalker2013]

What's crazy is I was thinking on something similar to this today... Thinking that I have followed you for several several years on all platforms and "Kinda" know a little about KVSM but the newer followers might like to know how you got started in social media.. Like back in the IG days. and here you are... 🙃

[@reneewalker9634]

[@vanessaneal2758]

My mum used to have a flower theme for her sheep names. Harder for you as you already have poppy and petunia. Husband wanted a tree theme for our cats, and I insist on people names for house pets. So we got Hazel and Robin (Robin was found under a photinia red robin tree) and we both got our way!

[@Star.s_Editz]

When you said you wanted to be a trick rider, I instantly thought of Georgie from heartland, that show was wild

Good video! I did enjoy hearing just regular human chit chat. I personally don't have horses, if I could financially, I definitely would, so the "how, why, when" questions would be invaluable for younger horse people. I did own a Shetland, so my experience was with a very self righteous, little brat, lol. He had his days but I miss him even now. Oh, and I named him Ringo, because with his very thick winter coat, he literally had black rings around both eyes.
