April 5, 2026
Join Taylor and Kahlan for a very special, intense, and raw conversation with Brittany West about her late gelding, Otis. Otis sustained a fracture on his front left navicular month at 18 months. After years of swimming upstream with countless interventions to rehabilitate him and keep him comfortable, Brittany made the impossible decision to let him cross over the rainbow bridge. Otis's purpose expanded beyond his 6 year lifespan; he is a teacher. Brittany generously and bravely donated him to Trinity Equine LLC, where osteopath Lorre Mueller, conducted a three day whole horse dissection. Taylor was very fortunate to attend this event, where Otis told his story. Trigger warning: This is the most intense and surreal episode the girls have done to date.
