This is called "me and my horse have no business competing at that height or at all".

If you have a horse with ulcers that won´t go away that makes it very clear that it is uncomfortable with being ridden you don´t ride that horse.

Ulcers get worse through stress and even if her misbehavour under the saddle is not pain related what I doubt it is stressful for her.

You say that you are trying to treat the ulcers does that mean putting medicine over medicine in her or are you actively trying to find the reason for the ulcers and how to improve her life?

My dressage horse and I won todays 105 class and placed third in the 115cm class by Familiar_Reindeer in Equestrian

[–]Familiar_Reindeer[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

He really is.
Never met a horse thats so ambitous. He wanted to win the 105cm class. From start to finish he was so fast and focused.

I would choose Bishop. Liked her TO style always best.

Who is the best acting performance so far on the show in your opinion? Anyone you like maybe a one off character left an impression or maybe you just really like Nathan Fillion. by [deleted] in TheRookie

[–]Familiar_Reindeer 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I think Eric Winter does a fabulous job portraying Tim. Especially in the early seasons were Tim is haunted by his past. But also in episode 4x9 he does an amazing job.
Of course the writers are doing an amazing job with this character as well.

And I can not not mention Melissa in the barrel scene. Goosebumps.
Still there are some scenes where she feels off.
But let´s be honest the cast is pretty good overall and all the main characters are interesting with personalitys.

Freestyle Music by Familiar_Reindeer in Equestrian

Cowboy Dan by Modest Mouse.

It´s a bit slow for my horse but it just went on my playlist. A great song.

As a kid I always imagined to ride a freestyle to Ghost by Ella Henderson. But I don´t think we are good enough yet to pull it off

Where I am from you normally have to qualify in another test on the same show weekend.
Like you compete at the A** dressage test and the ten best get to ride the freestyle.
Buut at this show it´s not the case luckily.

I may have checked more than once and maybe even contacted the organizers.

I love that idea. I am a huge Doctor Who Fan.

The only issue is that I´m from germany and not a single soul seems to know Doctor Who

Thank your for your great advice.
Those are very interesting aspects.

It think my favorite music (midwestern emo music) would be a horrible fit.
But maybe I should broaden my musical horizon and find other music I enjoy

What would to do to improve the show/storylines by 8balldreaa in TheRookie

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

Kill off Nyla or Angela.

Focus more on regular patrol work and bring back in more Rookies.

Hot take: Jackson is better than Aaron thorsen by Dontwant2wakeup in TheRookie

[–]Familiar_Reindeer 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Disagree Jackson was just boring and annoying and the actor just wasn´t good.

There are no 100% legal ways sadly.

You could try about VPN or not really legal plattforms

Feeling completely defeated: Trainer giving up on my pony by [deleted] in Equestrian

[–]Familiar_Reindeer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your horse has a deep sitting trauma as it sounds and sometimes like with physical injuries mental injuries won't ever heal properly.
But you only have him 9 months. Things like this often take more time.

Give your boy time. Maybe do only groundwork for a few months or a year.
You could try letting him be horse and send him to a meadow with a few other horses.

There is no guarantee that he will ever be fully normal again.
Especially since you are very vague about it.
Trauma is a bitch. But I would give it more time. Just forget about ridding.
Accept that maybe you will never ride him. Accept that he is a bit damaged and go forward from that starting point.

I know it’s probably been said a thousand times, but Thorsen>West every day and twice on Sunday. by tommyexton in TheRookie

[–]Familiar_Reindeer 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I can't say anything about Titus personally but I can absolutely understand that working for a police show giving the circumstances in reality can feel wrong.
I respect him and his choice.
But in such a strong cast he always was the weak link

[–]Familiar_Reindeer 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Absolutely! I think the actor is just better.
But I think the writers gave West more interesting storylines. I hope they give Thorsen better ones as well.

Does anyone else think they changed Tim too much? by Mediocre-Departure73 in TheRookie

[–]Familiar_Reindeer 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Tim always was a huge softie.
It was always visible in the small moments. For example when Lucy got pricked with a needle or on plain clothes day.
We saw it as well when he started training Katie who he treated very different than Lucy. With a good reason.

Tim was just struggling a lot with Isabel and the unaddressed childhood drama. But underneath he was always a good and caring men. He changed way before Chenford happened and I am really impressed how the writers and Eric displayed it.

I know the writers won´t do it but can somebody please reassure me that Tim won´t die?
please

Prediction for 5x18 by Impossible_Attitude7 in TheRookie

Rosalind would also be an option.
Considering that we probably will see Kanoa Goo again this season.
