Hold Your Horses

Season 6: Episode 2

We advise you to watch where you step on the grounds this evening, Dear Guest, and we politely ask that you not inadvertently carry in any muck your shoes may have gathered as you find your way to your seat in The Reading Room.  You’ll find mini hay bales & sugar cubes on The Hospitality Tray… and a healthy dose of cautionary warnings and old-timey tales of dark horses!  Please, Hold Your Horses, as we meet some delightfully-devilish demon steeds…and a mysterious stranger… Welcome.

Special Thanks to Sounds Like and Earful Music Supply for the amazing music AND sound design during this episode.
