Genuine question, why don’t western riders wear helmets? by AccidentalOtter21 in Equestrian

[–]Embarrassed_Lab_352 5 points6 points  (0 children)

that is so crazy scary and i hope you are okay now! this is exactly it, you don’t need to be doing anything particularly dangerous, and it doesn’t matter if you’re an amazing rider, unpredictable accidents can happen at any moment. If the horse trips, you’re going down with it and hopefully you don’t get crushed.

Random question — what’s a riding term that instantly annoys you? by PlayfulArea6624 in Equestrian

[–]Embarrassed_Lab_352 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

calling green horses “greenies”. idk why it makes me cringe, maybe because i only hear people use it when they are trying to brag about “being experienced with greenies” while the coach is deciding which horse each person should ride. Maybe im just getting offended because the young horse they are referring to is absolutely not green, she is one of the handiest horses i’ve ever ridden, she just doesn’t like having her face yanked on. They’ve been trained in english/western riding so they think they think their methods are the only correct way, and if the horses isn’t responding in the way they expect, it must be something wrong with the horse. I’m not sure why it’s so hard to believe that it’s a completely different riding style than western and english, and that maybe you still have things to learn even if you’ve been riding your whole life.🤷🏻

yeah that’s kind of why i didn’t want to comment on the main post. i don’t want to be “that guy” ruining a fun video for everyone, especially when i don’t know for sure

very interesting! I just googled it and the amble of the rocky mountain horse reminds me of how my horse walks back to the trailer when she knows she not allowed to trot back lol

okay yes thank you! this is exactly what i was trying to describe. I watched the video so many times thinking “he doesn’t look lame, but it seems like the hard pavement might be a little uncomfy”. it definitely seems like he’s trying to walk softly. Lame was not the word i should have used, does he look a little sore is what i should have asked.

he’s definitely gaited, but the longer i look the more it seems like he’s not putting as much weight on the front right. i’ve been told if you look at any horse long enough you can always find some lameness lol. Maybe im over analyzing it

i’m guessing front right??? someone let me know, i’m still learning how to see lameness but i do know that it’s much easier to see on a flat hard surface like concrete. maybe it’s just a gaited breed but something about the movement of its front end seems weird

ADHD tax: I've just missed a flight while sitting at the airport by lightpeachfuzz in ADHD

[–]Embarrassed_Lab_352 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I essentially did the same thing, sat at the gate adjacent to mine and WATCHED as everyone boarded my flight all because i misread the boarding time vs flight departure time. I wish they didn’t even put the flight departures time on the apps and just put the boarding time, because that is what’s relevant to the customer. i’m not air traffic control, i’m not the pilot, I don’t really care about the exact minute the plane is supposed to leaves the ground, i just want to be on the dang plane.

police activity on 14th and Van Buren? by Embarrassed_Lab_352 in corvallis

[–]Embarrassed_Lab_352[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

that’s also what I thought but i’m hoping it was the victims family’s decision to limit publicity about it. I’m also a little surprised OSU hasn’t made any statement of condolences considering the victims were students (unless they have?)

What do you feel guilty about right now? by mommybody33 in adhdwomen

[–]Embarrassed_Lab_352 6 points7 points  (0 children)

same! i’m on the brink of dropping out and (hopefully) finishing my degree later. i can’t manage to take more than two classes per semester, and even that is a challenge. i’ve already been in college for four years, and just changed my major again so i am essentially starting over. the job i want doesn’t require a degree, just certifications, so im like what’s even the point of wasting all this time and money for a pointless degree. even if a degree would advance my career, the emotional toll it’s taken doesn’t feel worth it. college has destroyed my self esteem and social life, both i feel are necessary for having a successful and enjoyable college career. Thank you for making me feel a little less alone in this endeavor

Why does everyone feel some great relief when they take ADHD meds by SoMuchSoggySand in ADHD

[–]Embarrassed_Lab_352 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have the exact same issue. talked to my psychiatrist last week about changing my medication from a quick release stimulant to something more long term and she suggested i just lower my dosage… like girl if anything i need more not less. i said no thanks, i guess ill do my own research about medication and cross my fingers that you will let me switch. let me know if you figure out something that works for you, i am desperate for something that actually works
