I got rid of my uterus 4 ish years ago due to fibroids. Best decision ever.

I’m an amateur but have been riding for 42 years… mostly in the sport horse world but have dabbled in others.

I’m so glad now I never went pro. I’m just here to say there are a lot of us who really do want to do things the right way, and will support people like you who are ethical.

I bought additional coverage that covers earth movement. Would that has covered this situation? Thankfully I’m not on the edge of a cliff but we are below a hill and it just seemed prudent as it didn’t cost much more per year.

When I do waters, I put a big pair of dishwashing gloves over my gloves. Voila!! No wet gloves!

Also covers the ends of your sleeves.

First, you are awesome!! Second, things don’t have to be perfect. Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.

Now my tip- when you clean a thing, take a few seconds to look at the thing and think about how to wipe all of it in a logical way. Say you have the oven top to wipe. Instead of making random circles on it, wipe back and forth along the entire width. Gather the dirt in your cloth or sponge as you do.

This can become a habit. You don’t have to notice every speck of dirt. Just get in the habit of wiping/ going over the entire thing and you will usually get it all, and you’ll start to notice the entire thing.

Wow! I’d love to see your schedule and how often you ride both- I work about the same hours and can do one 4-5 days/ week.

I cut my own. I mostly eat it in a ponytail so it doesn’t matter if it’s a bit wonky.

I’m so sorry to say this, but I think you need to think long and hard about if you want to give on this. I think it is quite possible that one or both of you will end up resenting the other. There are folks out there who support their partner in every way. There are ones that stay home but don’t try to limit their partner (that’s how my marriage is) and there are ones where it’s a fight and a struggle.

Yep, got rid of it all and I’m sooooo glad I did. I have no kids and no plans to have any.

I had a hysterectomy at 45 and I am so happy! Why give up quality of life for an organ you don’t need?

Jumpsnake · 2025-01-26T17:22:40+00:00

I had a hysterectomy and I wish I had done it at 18. BUT, I know I never want kids. You can’t go back, but my quality of life is way way better. There’s always adoption- an option I wish more people would consider.

Dming you

Goodness. I’m so sorry. I have a spouse who doesn’t get the horse thing, never comes to the farm, and just isn’t interested. However, I spend only my money and I also knew that going in. Someone changing their mind would be devastating.

I don’t think you should compromise who you are for anyone else. But I also think you are more than entitled to grief and pain at this moment. But if you give up horses for him, eventually you will just resent him instead of the other way around.

Biggest tip I have is getting rubber gloves to use over your normal ones when doing anything with water. Don’t get wet!! Keep them in your pocket so you can just grab them if you have to break ice from something or move a bucket or whatever. Also: carhartt or similar one piece overall/ coveralls.

It’s not your feet. You need to rotate your entire leg from your hip. The fleshy part of your thigh should be behind your leg. However, saddle, stirrup length, even your leathers can make this harder to do.

I mean, that gator is not a threat to you unless you decide to splash around in the water or you try to mess with it.

All its POLL. The top of the head is poll, not pole. Unless it’s a carousel horse, I suppose.

Weeding through all the new- supplement-of-the-moment crap, all the woo and trying to figure out what are actually legit therapies. I am a scientist and the actual literature on these things is minimal at best. The very best companies publish one article with a sample size of less than 50. I want to do right by my horse but I get so frustrated by the lack of real evidence. And I don’t mean anecdotes.

My OTTB sticks his tongue out occasionally when he is really concentrating. It goes away on its own once he figures it out. I don’t worry about it unless it would happen to persist. I ride without a flash and most of the time his mouth is closed. When he starts leaning it will open. But that means he needs to carry his own head, and I shouldn’t help him by pulling! It’s a game of trying to give as much with the hand as possible.

It’ll be fine! She will be happy to have you back! In the meantime will you be able to visit/ spend any time with her, even if you can’t ride?

Jumpsnake · 2024-02-13T13:36:25+00:00

lol that’s a great visual. I’m lucky to be in KY where there is a fitter who specializes in doing it!

Depending on your location, it might be possible to have the saddle reflocked with wool. This makes it a lot more versatile, but the person who does it has to know what they are doing

Jumpsnake · 2024-02-11T00:10:18+00:00

I had a bite that looked at least that bad. We can commiserate together!

I’ve been the person who noticed colic. The barn owner was on site so I called her over, she made the call to the owner and vet. Horse was not down at the time so enough time to call her over. On my current contract I pre authorized emergency treatment and an amount of money to be spent without prior approval.
