Unhinged And Mostly Feral
Mischief Raccoon
Life in the horse world is chaotic. Traveling constantly is chaotic. My brain? Also chaotic. Unhinged and Mostly Feral is where all of that collides. I’m Julia, joined by my imaginary raccoon co-host, Mischief—who has no qualifications but a lot of opinions. Expect stories, tangents, and a whole lot of “how did this even happen?” Current recurring problem: a mouse named Jerri who may or may not control my car.

Welcome to the traveling horse circus. We’re Mostly Civilized.

Episode 5: Weather, Seriously? Part 2
Snow. Hail. Lightning. Earthquakes. Heat. In Episode 5, Julia and Mischief continue their battle against the atmosphere with stories from Canada, Kentucky, New York, and beyond. From runaway horses in snowstorms and surprise hail attacks to lightning delays, earthquakes, and humidity powerful enough to qualify as a biological weapon, it’s proof that horse shows don’t stop just because Mother Nature has lost her mind.
