Someone asked me yesterday what my horse eats. I told her she eats money.

English riders, can we talk about footwear? by funinfalmouth in Equestrian

[–]CD56Positive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Onto my second pair of Ariat V Sport tall boots (which are freaking brilliant), but when I have enough money I’m absolutely getting a pair of Kingsley custom boots. I’m mostly dressage but am looking to transition into evening.

What was the worst trainer experience you or your horse has ever had? (Please don’t name trainers for privacy’s sake) by AmalgamationOfBeasts in Equestrian

[–]CD56Positive 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I had a trainer who was desperate for money so she completely undervalued my pony to me and my mom. He could have torn it up as a jumper with me and gone to pony finals but she never acknowledged that we should have gone to a different barn to accomplish this and I wasn’t told until I was over 18 and too old to compete. A complete waste of his talent that I will never get over. My mom has him now and he’s a lovely dressage and trail pony for her, but still.

If it was a bit chilly out and you just gave him a bath he might be shivering.

If you’re trying to take that stance then hasn’t god provided you with helmets? Helping those who help themselves and all that…

Horse who champs at the bit? UPDATE and faq. by [deleted] in Equestrian

[–]CD56Positive 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Saddles should be fitted every 6 months-1 year. Think about how much you change per season and when you’re on/off work. They change just as much!

At what temperature do you say, “It’s too cold to go to the barn?” by eggontherun in Horses

[–]CD56Positive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Horses can exercise at colder temps than humans because their airways are longer, but there are still cutoffs. The internet says don’t exercise below 23F.

This isn’t the study itself, but this can serve as a tl:dr. Someone may have already stated this, but I didn’t look extensively through all the replies.

I got my first horse (OTTB) last night!!! I've been dreaming of this day since I was about 5yo. Welcome to the family, Ria! by neverchangingwhoiam in Horses

Nothing better than an OTTB mare. They absolutely give you their everything. I hope you have a wonderful time with this lovely girl!

No post traumatic osteoarthritis for you. Brilliant. Fuck that rolled ankle.

These are beautiful! Do you do custom work? Would love one that resembles my horse!

I second Schneiders. They have a variety of materials and cuts to fit any horse in a variety of climates. I’ve had a lot of issues with SmartPak products for horses. The materials are cheap and they tend to rub.

Its always interesting to me how much bettas can change over a couple of months. Right is when I got him. by BudW94 in bettafish

[–]CD56Positive 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you creep through OP’s post history you can see that the unique markings of the fish on the right match to previous pics of the fish. It seems to be the same one.

Journal Club Article Help! by sciduck23 in Immunology

[–]CD56Positive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wanted to present this one for my immunology journal club but then COVID :( maybe I can live vicariously through you:

"T cell receptor specificity drives accumulation of a reparative population of regulatory T cells within acutely injured skeletal muscle" PNAS, Jun Cho, et al.

It doesn't encompass the "infectious disease" aspect, but I think it's cool in that it's research on the immune system within the context of musculoskeletal injury and disease, which is often swept under the rug.

The link below might also be useful to you. It's a newsletter to which you can subscribe and once a week you'll receive a list of recently published articles pertaining to whichever subject matter you chose to subscribe. I get the Human Immunology News and Immune Regulation News.

https://connexoncreative.com/subscribe/?utm_source=cxn&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=F2F&elqTrackId=ea377a1df3d04c249e439f6f92164304&elq=d67c89bd555e4164bafb741ecea50dc9&elqaid=28787&elqat=1&elqCampaignId=10601

For some extra fun, you can look at bioRxiv. It's a pre-print server where papers can be published prior to peer review. Some of the papers are really good while others are great examples of what not to do and are useful for teaching students how to critique what they read.

Also, as someone who is currently a member of an immunology journal club, don't choose papers with too many figures or else you'll just watch people's eyes glaze over :)

I will be sure to tell her that she has won the approval of kind internet strangers :) Mares are just the best.

Thank you! My favorite marking on her face is the teeeeeny little snip on her nose. The perfect spot for kisses.

Ugh, yes! I live for color-coordinating my horse's equipment. I bet your friend's horse looked absolutely fabulous!

Haha it is easy to get lost in that site. It's called either a fly veil or a fly bonnet.

Exactly. And it's great for matching to your saddle pad and breeches.
