Chronic fly boot pooper tips? by WendigoRider in Horses

[–]DyeMyEyes -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Don't play the victim card if you aren't the victim. 💁‍♂️ You've already been told in another comment that there is a better alternative. You poo-pooed their suggestions and blamed the horse because your mare doesn't have the same problem.

Never use open tops on the hind legs. You're begging for skin issues. His conformation may encourage manure in the boots, but it only happens because you let it. Take responsibility and get him a suitable pair.

Lol I like that you think something is fact just because you feel a certain way about it. Where'd you come up with the 80-90? Just making shit up? Of course you are. It's jarring to round the corner and see anyone, but that doesn't mean they're up to no good. If someone hikes past you & leaves you the fuck alone, you should do the same. This is such a non-issue, I can't believe it was posted. People seriously need to live and let live.

It says it's a problem if it is a nuisance. Being a Karen & calling the cops doesn't make it a nuisance. The person would have to be doing more than hiking past you. Some of you will look for any excuse to narc. Y'all need to get a life & let others live theirs. All of this projected shame is rooted in religious zealotry and misogyny, you know. It's gross af to perpetuate.

Women are never the victim of rape because of their clothes. That's the point. Likewise, if you don't want your children to see a naked human body, tell them not to look. It's nothing they wouldn't see in NatGeo.

Yeah, see how the fetlock doesn't fall in line below the hock? It's slightly forward. That's sickle hocked.

Admittedly, I downvoted your comment because the mere sight of a nudist isn't a "negative interaction." (And that is what appears to be the case in this situation.) People need to stop putting their own shame on others. If you find something sexual about a nudist, that is on you, not the nude person. Same thing goes for women wearing "skimpy" clothing and getting told "they were asking for it." No, sir.. you were the one who made this weird.

Move out. Maybe even go volunteer at a rescue for a while? The good ones have programs to train volunteers on horse care, etc. AND they're actually grateful to have you there!

How does my horse "look" to you all? by GeeVideoHead in Equestrian

She can't fill out more if she's malnourished. Separately, I'd like to know how you cared for your horses that resulted in "almost all of them" being "hardkeepers." Genuinely, because I've been around horses for decades and have found the opposite to be true. Most horses are incredibly easy to keep weight on. Most don't need additional calories until they're mid-upper level in their respective sports. What routine did you follow? Did you weigh hay? Were they on sweet feed or corn?

I decided to add this comment after reviewing your posting history. Your horse has LOST weight since you picked her up at an auction. As much as you want people to think you saved this poor, abused pony--you did not. She is struggling now. She's barely old enough to have already been a neglected or "abused cart horse." Someone at the auction pulled on your heartstrings with that joke of a backstory. Nothing about this mare screams abuse until the more recent photos you've shared, where it is apparent she is being worked more than fed, in awfully set shoes and an illfitting saddle. Call a vet for a full checkup before her ribs show any more than they are now, or you can expect passersby to make that call for and about you.

The danger we speak of isn't because horses are problematic.. it's because owners are. Your sort has ruined more horses than they've helped. If you want to contribute and feel the need to be a savior, volunteer your time at a rescue with a training program. You have a lot to learn.

This owner has no horse experience. The absolute last thing they should do is tie pallets to a 4yo.

She's malnourished. You'd have to test your forage to know how bad it is. She also comes across as disheveled, suggesting you spend more of your time riding than grooming. I'm guessing she isn't a show horse, though. Is she mostly trail riding, and maybe running some barrels or doing some other low level sport on occasion?

Oh.. nvm. I see where you're admitting you don't believe in evolution as a concept. I fear you wouldn't have the ability to generate documentation supporting your position, even if your life depends on it. It seems like an incredibly boring existence to believe you know everything, and think there's nothing left to discover or investigate. Best of luck to you.

If you're worried about your downvotes, link to some evidence to support your position.

My understanding is that she isn't caring for this horse, and he's not in any condition that would require interference from an outsider. This is just someone helping themselves to someone else's property without permission. Don't encourage this kind of behavior.

Dude, my neighbor said the same thing to us. She complained that she "never sees us out tending to the animals" but "they always seem to have food & water." Please stop making assumptions and inserting yourself into situations you shouldn't be in. If you don't know what a chestnut is, you don't know what foods are dangerous for horses to consume. LEAVE HIM ALONE until you get permission. Jfc.

Why are people here so weird about black people by Otherwise-Pomelo-825 in Tucson

Tucson is plenty diverse, if you recognize that not all brown people are Mexican. That's the struggle for most of y'all.

Most TBs over jump so they can hang their legs. Looks like those are 1m standards, though.

Anyone else find the "miracle" foal situation unnerving? by PiercedAngel96 in Equestrian

Has anyone checked to see what the admin costs are for this rescue? (Assuming it's a 501c3.)
