The One Where We Move 24 Horses to Florida During a Hurricane

Horse Rehab, Cross-Country Chaos, and Florida Night Spiders with Ashley Carr.  Dr. Chelsea and vet tech Trish introduce Ashley Carr, a longtime horse rider and eventer who pursued vet medicine at CSU, worked as an equine ambulatory tech and later in surgery/anesthesia, then stepped away to focus on producing and rehabbing horses. Ashley discusses how her surgical background helps her rehab cases like kissing spine and other chronic issues by understanding structures, healing timelines, and how horses relearn pain-free movement. She shares the chaotic move from Colorado to Florida—transporting 24 horses plus multiple pets over nine trips, dealing with tire blowouts, roadside delays, and Hurricane Milton preparations in Ocala—and tells stories about Florida wolf spider “eye shine,” huge huntsman spiders, and discovering a hidden cache of rotten, exploding chicken eggs in a barn. 00:00 Show Intro 00:29 Meet Ashley Carr 01:16 Horses to Vet Med 02:23 Old School Farm Calls 04:26 Leaving Vet School Track 05:42 Rehab Philosophy 08:13 Sponsor VetCS 08:48 Colorado to Florida Move 12:16 Hauling Babies South 16:04 Hurricane Detour 23:45 Trailer Trouble Prep 26:28 Tire Blowout Lessons 27:18 Trailer Tire Chaos 28:10 Limping to Tire Shop 30:01 Roadside Assistance Reality 31:37 Wolf Spider Headlamp Horror 36:22 Black Widow Boot Surprise 37:46 Huntsman Spider Sighting 39:33 Chickens and Hidden Eggs 41:52 Exploding Rotten Egg Nest 46:38 Bean Boozled Rotten Egg Flashback 48:58 Wrap Up and Subscribe
