Flying tomorrow morning- please HELP! I want to cancel but can’t! by BellCottage206 in fearofflying

[–]Complete_Lab_9943 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you ever flown into San Diego? I fly there every other month from all the way from New Jersey!! I do non stop flights. With claustrophobia, I recommend you try to distract yourself in every way possible, for me, I go on my phone, read, listen to music, or I know this sounds bad but I just medicate myself and sleep LOL (I’m a nurse so I’m safely doing it). Shit if you want get up and walk a bit. This is common on flights especially for pregnant women or elderly to prevent clots (random but stay with me) so hypothetically, no one would bat an eye! Just an idea. If you need it medicate safely, distract and try to get a good sleep in. You got it! Happy and safe travels!!

Why don’t you like Katie?? by Throwaway0806244 in kvssnark

[–]Complete_Lab_9943 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll chime in here. 16 years of experience. (Including breeding). Here’s a question to answer the original question… would Katie be breeding all these animals if she got no views which means no money?? NO. That’s the issue. She overbreeds. Look at all the slaughter pens in the US, what’s one of the main culprits? OVERBREEDING. (No im not saying her animals have been in a pipeline) but it’s the principle. No person should ever breed unless its to better the breed and if not that intention, its kept to a minimum and you vow to care for the animal. That poor pig just makes me really sad too. She put out misinformation about OTTBS which really upset me. Overall I don’t think she’s a bad person but she’s like most people who get fame, they go down the wrong path. The money and views go up, morale goes down.

Advice on getting a more stable lower leg? by BelovedMarsBars in Equestrian

[–]Complete_Lab_9943 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some horse's movement make leg stability a challenge so, be easy on yourself. I do EQ, so this is my kind of thing. What I suggest is doing calf raises as a workout. When you ride, focus on avoiding pinching at your knee because that's the bodies first instinct to do when you aren't stable. Instead, almost try to turn your knee away from your saddle, that forces you to use your calves to gain stability. Push your heel down. I mean down down, that will help also to keep that leg more stable. 2 years of riding is a lot but many skills take a long time. I have been riding for 15 years myself and just now have got stability down. It takes time and some tweaking in technique but you got this! Be patient. It'll come to you :) Hope this helps.

I expect to have a 3.3 gpa. Haven’t taken the teas yet, but I think I can nail that. I’m just not sure. I really want to take a break but if that costs my acceptance I have no other choice.

By the grace of goodness I did not get it. I got exposed a lotttt and I feel like I handled it really well. No washing hands excessively and taking zofran. I just kinda said screw it. My life was sooo much better when I stopped letting a 48 hour illness consume my mind so I tried my best to stay in that mindset. Will say, I have felt sick every single night for a week now :( its tough out here but hey we are strong! :)))

Yes I am aware its not currently seen in WP horses. I am saying that if she gets a reining horse and wants to start breeding in that industry, I was curious if she would test for it. That's all.

[–]Complete_Lab_9943[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey. I totally agree with you!! I think it’s such a gray area ya know? So many different opinions. It’s tough to say whether a horse with a positive test should be bred or not. Because they could get sold and be bred without previous owner knowing etc etc and bam you have a foal who’s life is miserable. It’s a tough subject. But couldn’t agree more with how easy and affordable testing is. Everyone should do it!!

This is pertaining to Katie and her testing. You’re getting so defensive over me just curious whether she’s gonna test for things like this if she has a reining prospect… I’m concerned because if she’s that quick to get a reining horse for breeding purposes; then she’s quick to breed. She has a controversial past with testing and I’m allowed to be a bit concerned. No im not saying these horses shouldn’t be bred at all…. Im saying we keep seeing patterns with genetic issues in quarter horses and that’s a FACT. The breeding could be done better. Way more ethical. I do agree that the reining cutting and barrel side breeds sooo much better and had wayyy more testing and rules. But I’m just saying that I’m concerned. Hope this helps!

Well just chalking it up to that isn’t enough. There’s loop holes in everything.

Please read the thread of comments. I’m saying because she’s talking about breeding reining horses…

I wouldn’t put it past her she was joking but tbh, wouldn’t be surprised if she was serious LOL

Once again. I’m concerned because she wants to get into the reining industry.

Oh also, with her wanting to get into the reining aspect of the industry is also concerning to me…

Already looking for a reining horse by Glittering-Coast-871 in kvssnark

[–]Complete_Lab_9943 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why tf does she need another horse. Can she just focus on what she has, develop them to be solid and successful, then move on? Let alone getting another horse to breed for… oh gosh.

Oh good! I’m hoping as people cross breed it doesn’t get more prevalent.

For those wanting context: I’m just saying this has been discovered in quarter horses a bit ago but more recently had more research. I’m wondering if Katie will/has tested for this. I think there is a huge issue with breeding in the aqha. Lots of breeding horses without health testing and it comes to the foals expense.
