Appalachia Meets World Episode 115 - The Art of Horses in Appalachia with Jamie Corum

We're back (sorry for the hiatus)!!  In this episode, Neil and Will sit down with Equine Artist and "Rockstar" Jamie Corum.  Jamie discusses her passion for Art, especially Equine Art, and what got her involved in the first place.  Hear her talk about the place she grew up and how it drew her back many years later (as we like to say, "there's something magic in them mountains").  Her art has a way of showing the "soul" of the horse which she credits to her many years of riding.  Take a listen as she describes the life of an Equine Artist and how she came from a small farm in Appalachia dreaming of owning her own horse someday, to drawing some of the most iconic athletes (horses) in the sporting world today!  You might hear Neil's new recommendation and the real reason we took a few week hiatus (it wasn't a vacation to say the least)!  Also, don't forget about the #AppBiz of the week: Feed and Seed!
