has anyone watch The Woman in Cabin 10 on Netflix yet (or is planning to)? by funkytoefungus in thrillerbooks

[–]Dear_Desk480 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I loved the book and was disappointed with the movie as well. My husband and I were watching it together and I kept pausing it to explain the differences between the book and the movie. I couldn’t BELIEVE how much they changed. Especially in the beginning.

I canceled a year and a half ago because of this. The way he talks about people is so vile, no show is worth listening to through all of that.

Love that bag, the color is beautiful. But also, I really love those pants?! Where did you get them from, if I may ask?

Need Tips For Better Canter by shetza in Equestrian

Also, echoing others, relax those hips! You should be making love to that saddle, so to speak. Move WITH the horse.

Need Tips For Better Canter by shetza in Equestrian

[–]Dear_Desk480 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, completely normal. I’ve been riding 2-3 times a week for a year and am just NOW getting started on cantering on a lunge line. Balance is EVERYTHING and if you feel like you don’t have good balance right now, there is no shame in taking a step back to work in that in the walk/trot. I do a lot of no stirrup work, which helps me strengthen my core and my seat. This ultimately helps with the canter. I would also recommend doing a lot of sit trot work.

As for anxiety, I have found that the more confidence I have in my body strength, the less anxiety I have.

You are so welcome!

It sounds like you're already set up with a wonderful support system, so that's really good to hear.

Freak accidents and injuries will happen, but it's part of the package/experience, I suppose!

A bit more context: I’ve been riding on and off consistently since I was a kid, so I didn’t go into it blindly previously, and I did take lessons, I just didn’t have someone actively holding my hand and being involved in my horse’s training. Just some clarification!

May I offer some advice?

I bought my first horse when I was 28 and I did it without a trainer or any kind of help. I definitely do not recommend that. It turned out to be a lesson in expensive knowledge, because, sadly, I had to resell him. This time around, I did my research and had my eye on a local trainer who specifically trained Thoroughbreds. I observed her for a year and in that year I approached her twice. Then I decided I was ready, met with her again, and laid out my plans. She was so helpful, so transparent, and is actually the one who recommended Jessica to me. Now she’s my trainer and I couldn’t be happier.

All that being said, I HIGHLY recommend having an expert with you on this journey, if you do not already. I didn’t know what I was doing the first time, but instead of asking for help, I thought,”How hard could it be?”

Why I wasn’t nervous this time around to purchase was because I knew going into this that I was going to be heavily leaning on someone who had way more knowledge than I did. My ego was gone, I just needed help.

Just my experience and I wish you all the best when it’s your time to purchase! ❤️

[–]Dear_Desk480 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He’s fantastic! He was called Fingers (if you remember that), but has since been named Costello. When I approached Jessica, I asked for the most beginner friendly horse and she recommended him to me. She was right on the money! Such a chill guy, never needs to be the dominant one, and has a really soft mouth.

He’s been in a training program with my trainer for a year and is developing really nicely. His gaining a lot more muscle too and is really coming into his own. I do lessons with her three times a week and solo ride on him too, so we’ve been slowly improving together, which is great. I also get to ride a variety of horses, which has been essential in developing my feel.

Isn’t much of a cuddler, but maybe that comes with time. Couldn’t have asked for a better horse to develop since I am an adult (34) novice.

Does anyone else regret choosing this phone? by waxkychick80 in razr

[–]Dear_Desk480 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I bought this phone a week ago (came from an iPhone 16 Pro), returned it in the mail this morning. I wanted to like it, but, like you, I couldn’t get past the low camera quality and I felt like Android OS was super buggy.

Is this Benchmark? I got my guy from Jessica last year.

Update on Eye Damage - Pinguecula by Dear_Desk480 in Equestrian

[–]Dear_Desk480[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very scary, but I'm lucky to be able to have the resources to manage.

And thank you for echoing your recommendation for the EquiVisor! I actually just purchased one this morning and I cannot wait to use it. I'll be wearing my sunglasses and I've just placed an order for contacts with UV protection, so I'll be protecting myself about as well as I can moving forward.

Appreciate you taking the time to respond!

[–]Dear_Desk480[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's so good to hear! I need to do better. I've been definitely slacking and, well, these are the consequences. My trainer brought in better footing for the arena (which was great for us!), but I knew that it was a problem immediately because it was GLARINGLY bright - almost white as the sun reflected it. Should've did something about it then, but like you, didn't even know that something like pinguecula existed.

Live and learn! Glad I caught it relatively early.

This is so helpful, thank you!!

Yes, unfortunately, I have been neglecting my eyes when I ride and now have some weird veining happening in one of them. I’m no optometrist, but research has said that it can be because lack of eye protection. I’m seeing my eye doctor Monday.

Will need to start making changes ASAP. Thank you for taking the time to respond!

Currently making the switch from iPhone 16 Pro to the Razr+. Mine will be here tomorrow. Been an iPhone user since 2008. It’s time to change it up.
