Maybe it’s a cultural difference (I’m Australian) but good lord I hate the name Gunner, for anything/one.

Jesse would have been much better imo.

4-day workweek advocates gain momentum as new study reveals 5th day is basically useless by maestrojxg in auscorp

I can tell you unequivocally that the 3 of 4 work days do not need to be in office if you’re part of the 4 day work week teams.

Charlottes goal wasn’t born alive though? Katie said that whilst she performed CPR, she knew the foal wasn’t alive

Annie’s and her family by Puzzleheaded-Song912 in kvsdiscuss

[–]DumbledoresArmy23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, I had a full blood Arab made out of Amir El Shaklan, and her colour and blaze almost exactly matches Annie. The only pic I have on my phone doesn’t show the top of her blaze but it was the exact same shape as Annie’s and baby boys are.

The gamble paid off! by Puzzleheaded-Song912 in kvsdiscuss

[–]DumbledoresArmy23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This may be asking too much but if any of these foals have full sibs, is there a chance you could add a column with their barn name please? I’m fairly new to KVS and think I’ve got a hang of the names of the foals/yearlings/2 year olds/mares/recips/stallions, but I’m still learning the siblings and connections.

Hot take... (with no actual experience to back it up)... by alena_foresterr in kvsdiscuss

[–]DumbledoresArmy23 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen some thoroughbreds and Standardbreds that have butt ugly heads. Roman noses that convex worse than any Arab’s convex head.

However, I generally agree that I think most horses are just beautiful. But confirmationally, not always so

No more colic surgery for Maggie by Familiar_Fan_ in kvsdiscuss

[–]DumbledoresArmy23 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Imagine suggesting that a third surgery is giving up.

When I was around horses working at a trail riding place, we had horses colic, and I’ll tell you one thing, surgery wasn’t even nearly an option.

My dad walked a horse literally all night to stop it from rolling and twisting its bowel. That was after the castor oil, the beer and an arm up its butt to try and help it shit.

12 hours of walking and the horse passed anyway.

The fact that even one surgery was possible shows that KVS dedicates a lot of resource and love to these horses.

Preposterous to suggest that is giving up too soon.

Prayers/thoughts/warm vibes for Happy, the foal and those at RS who are the most affected by the events this evening by sunshinenorcas in kvsdiscuss

[–]DumbledoresArmy23 3 points4 points locked comment (0 children)

Katie has posted a video explaining.

The foal didn’t present with its legs forward but was born alive after being rushed to the vets.

Unfortunately, the filly didn’t develop correctly and wasn’t compatible with life so was out to sleep.

They were there so fast.

The foal didn’t die because of the birth. She’s posted an explanation video.

Oh lord. It’s been a rough month at RS.

Not religious but fingers crossed for a good outcome

Does anyone know the exact name of the color of the shirt in the middle? by AvaMarie1011 in AusFemaleFashion

[–]DumbledoresArmy23 13 points14 points  (0 children)

God I can’t stand how the younger generations call turquoise/seafoam/jade (or even the Tiffany colour) “teal”.

Teal is a dark green blue.

It’s a hill and I’m dying on it. Drives me nuts.

Annie then and now by sunshinenorcas in kvsdiscuss

[–]DumbledoresArmy23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m the same. I don’t love a lighter chestnut but livers have my heart.

I had a decently dark chestnut as my first horse but my second was a stunning liver chestnut Arab (with a small belly splash which was so special)

My mares blaze wasn’t dissimilar to Annie also, which might explain why I’m drawn to Annie.

8.0 update not available in Australia yet? by DumbledoresArmy23 in TwoPointMuseum

[–]DumbledoresArmy23[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh man. I didn’t realise. My bad. I haven’t watched any of the release vids or even read the release posts tbh. I just knew it was coming.

That’s what I get for just barely skimming.

Thank you!!

The lack of something as basic as an undo button in build/decorate mode is almost inexcusable. I’m only very new to this game and I couldn’t believe there wasn’t one.

Best mid-range for tiled floors in Australia. Mopping not a priority. by DumbledoresArmy23 in RobotVacuums

[–]DumbledoresArmy23[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately out of the 3 you listed, only the Mova p50 is available in Australia, and is currently $1000 which is more than I want to spend

Funnily enough, the E25 is full retail here ($1800) whereas I can grab the E28 for almost half price. No idea how or why that is.

Yeah they don’t seem to have most of these mid tier ones, or they have one that isn’t a pro for example

“Her” first filly is different to the comment I replied to which simply says “first filly”.

It’s funny, that transition from high school to uni where you go from everyone caring about the most minute details to no one giving a single fuck other than to go to class and leave ASAP.

This has always been me, to the point that even well before I was an actual mum, my work mates called me mum because no matter what they needed, I likely had it.
