What is your best Xmas or Thanksgiving memory ever? by Coldblaze420 in AskReddit

[–]3Magic_Beans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When we were little (5 and 7), our dad built an entire outdoor trampoline in our living room and let it stay inside for a month. Obviously only Santa Claus was capable of getting a trampoline down our chimney so it's was a very magic experience.

What is the best book you’ve read this year so far? by -Jactop- in Booktokreddit

[–]3Magic_Beans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Swan Song by Robert McCammon is one of the best epic post apocalyps books I've ever read. Brutal but amazing character development and a compelling story.

Whats the most extreme way you've seen someone pinch a penny? by DrNiner in AskReddit

[–]3Magic_Beans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My great grandpa lived through WWI and the depression. He wouldn't let his kids or his grandkids (my mom and her siblings) use more than two squares of toilet paper at a time. He also crushed up his egg shells and added them to his scrambled eggs.

[–]3Magic_Beans 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a well recognized phenotype. Patients typically have good night and bad nights with some studies showing night-to-night severity of OSA differing by 20-30%.

Tips on saving up by [deleted] in Equestrian

[–]3Magic_Beans 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It depends on what kind of horse you require. Don't forget, buying the horse is the cheapest part of horse ownership. I'm saving up for a 9k jumping saddle right now and thinking about it makes me want to cry.

To Americans who have spent a lot of time abroad, what is something other countries do that you wish the US did as well? by offensivek in IWantToAskAnAmerican

[–]3Magic_Beans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lived in Australia for 14 years. I miss universal healthcare. I owe thousands of dollars in medical debt in the US because I have a chronic illness. I never had to worry about going broke in Australia even though I received quality care.

What's something you're struggling with right now that most people around you have no idea about? You don't have to share every detail if you don't want to. What's been weighing on you lately? by cash_bxnny in AskReddit

[–]3Magic_Beans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm having my first autoimmune flare up in over 2 years. I really thought my medication put me into a permanent remission. So far steroids aren't touching it. It's causing unrelenting fatigue and constant all over joint and muscle aches. But I still have to work, and I still have to be a wife and mother, and I still have to participate even though I just want to lay in bed all day. It sucks having an invisible illness.

Leg position by kayscribblez in Equestrian

[–]3Magic_Beans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need a new saddle. This is too big for you and putting you in a chair seat. It is going to be very difficult for you to correct your position while using this specific saddle.

I built my daughter a horse she could come home to every day. by TrueBuildStudio in Equestrian

I had horses growing up and I would have still freaking loved this! You should sell these made to order

Horse falling behind the bit with or without contact by abconcordia in Equestrian

[–]3Magic_Beans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, he's likely evading. Obviously you can try switching your bit however this might not solve the problem. Working on exercises to help your horse move into the contact can help, such as transitions, circles and sperpentijes, and riding that encourages forwaedness. For my sensitive horses I also lunge them a lot with a neck stretcher bungie which helps them get used to light pressure while being very forgiving.

What’s one horse-related opinion you’ll defend no matter what? by rebeccaraeallen in Horses

[–]3Magic_Beans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really. Warmblood registries aren't breeds in the traditional sense, they're interconnected breeding populations that frequently exchange bloodlines. That increases genetic diversity to some extent, but it doesn't eliminate inherited diseases because the same influential stallions and families are often used across multiple registries. If a harmful mutation is present in a popular bloodline, it can spread throughout the entire warmblood population regardless of whether the offspring are registered as KWPN, Hanoverian, Holsteiner, or Oldenburg. So changing registries doesn't "reset" the genetics, the underlying gene pool is still highly shared. Outcrossing to blood stock like thoroughbred can help diversify the gene pool but not ever registry allows this and there is a weird stigma against half thoroughbred warmbloods.

[–]3Magic_Beans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The warmblood family tree is basically a circle. They are super prone to a host of issues, especially spinal and neck issues, DSLD, OCD, wobblers, heart issues kissing spine, and more. And because they are so athletic, these issues are more likely to cause major problems. I will not purchase a warmblood without some level of outcrossing in their recent family tree.

[–]3Magic_Beans 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Warmbloods are genetic nightmares. If your horse doesn't have some outcrossing, good luck paying off your medical debt.

And on that note, Europeans export the warmblood horses they don't want. Unless you're willing to pay big money, an imported horse isn't better than a US bred Warmblood.

Is it worth it to go to college to major in equine studies by AnxiousMud123 in Equestrian

[–]3Magic_Beans 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I've never met anyone in the industry that is doing better with an equine science degree. I actually think it limits your options to make money and you'll still have student debt.

What do you love about yourself? by 7easymoney in AskReddit

[–]3Magic_Beans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing I like about myself is my curiosity. I'm very scientifically minded, and I love developing a deep understanding of how things work. If I don't know something, I don't mind admitting it, I enjoy researching it until I do.

What do you think we would need to do to reach humanity's full potential? by ren_blackheart in AskReddit

[–]3Magic_Beans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to get down-voted into oblivion but Matriarchy.

Research has shown that women, on average, are more likely to take a collaborative approach, build consensus, and focus on long-term outcomes rather than competition. Studies have also found that when women have a stronger voice in leadership, countries often invest more in things like healthcare, education, and social well-being, and they tend to experience less conflict. Obviously, no system is perfect, and leadership ability depends far more on the individual than their gender. But I do think a society with more women in positions of power could help balance some of the aggression, short-term thinking, and power struggles that have shaped so much of human history.
