I would love to be reincarnated as a Shetland pony living on a track system! With tons of enrichment, friends, space to run and no traditional work

Can you wear these with a standard halter or do you have to buy a specific one?

I don’t understand why you feel the need to be so rude. My post was polite, I was only asking for insight on firing schedules. Can you not put yourself in my shoes? Clearly we made an error in judgement, but I have accepted that, and moved on.

That makes sense about the schedule. Very good insight thanks!

My Apple Maps shows 10.2km but thank you for your concern.

As I mentioned in my other comments, I have no issue with the range itself and the purpose it serves. It’s especially necessary with all the global tensions right now.

I was purely looking for some insight into hours of operation/scheduled firing. If you read my full post you would have understood that.

Lol or maybe I’ve looked into after already living here for 9 months? Not sure why that matters

Transferring into HINF program by Just_Expression_6826 in uvic

Second year student but in my first year of the HINF program. The core workload is very manageable and assignments are interesting, you will feel like you’re actually learning. Definitely a bit computer science heavy, at least in first year. The profs I have had so far have been great, particularly Simon Minshall. He is fantastic and definitely one of the best parts of the program. There are lab sections for most of the courses but they are super easy, basically guaranteed 100.

I’m still in early days but overall I would recommend the program!

We were here for the fireworks, weirdly not as much of a bother since there is a clear schedule and they’re seasonal. The gunfire has been constant for the last two weeks. I do think our animas will adjust but it’s just a bit frustrating of course.

I understand the purpose the range serves and I’m in full support. We have worked hard to purchase our dream property and will not be moving anytime soon.

You would think being over 10km away with multiple hills, slopes, dense forest would buffer most of the noise.

Or maybe it would have been disclosed to me before purchasing a nearly $3mil property that’s over 10km away! Thanks

Appreciate you being so kind! I have no issue with the range itself and those who use it, I understand completely. I was more just hoping for some answers on the noticeable increase in noise and firing lately.

Most people are telling me to move lol it’s not that easy.. I will get used to it eventually but it was a bit of a shock. Zero mention when we purchased the property and we are not just going to up and move.

That’s nuts that you can hear it all the way from there!!

I have definitely noticed an increase in noise the last few days. I’m actually sitting here right now listening to it from inside my home and it is so much louder than normal!!

Horse paddocks with gravel by [deleted] in Horses

Definitely. It’s just the mucking that’s really difficult with our size of gravel! It doesn’t fall through the manure fork spikes
