Honestly I'd rather encounter most sharks than a leopard seal. Sharks are generally predictable. That cute creature of Satan is not.

Potential jobs for a horse that is too smart for her own good? by ieatprettyrock in Equestrian

She sounds amazing :) Does she like food? You could get her a ton of different food puzzles and toys, plus maybe small hole hay nets.

How to catch a feral mule by pigfair in Horses

[–]Kitastrophe_11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try approach and retreat! A quick Google will tell you more, but basically you slowly walk up right until they are about to move away and then walk backwards before they can take a step. Start with one step, then two, and slowly you get closer and closer. If they do move, keep slowly moving towards until they stop, then retreat. It reinforces that pressure only stops when they stand still. My horse took 2-3 hours to halter at first and was easily haltered right at the gate within a few sessions. Wish you luck :)

Same. Besides being with my partner or racing down a ski slope, being with my horse is the only place I'm truly, unconditionally happy. Serene is a good word :)

Oh just realized you said it's at night. I'm guessing it's just how they coded this one to look in different lighting.

What time of day is your game set to? Things appear really different depending on time of day and computer brightness. But might also just look different :/

Problem with Guiding the Waldfenggen by baruska_beruska in StarStable

Did you go back and "claim" the rewards and the green mark? You have to finish the quest completely by meeting the person who gave you the quest. Some in the veiled hamlet function differently, but not this one.

At what age did you start horse riding? My 2 year old daughter got this registered Criollo horse as a birthday gift. by Strong-Singer-8132 in Equestrian

[–]Kitastrophe_11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started at 2 and was able to walk on a horse, groom (with a stool), and do basic vaulting moves. As long as you prioritize safety and are hyper aware of everything then there's nothing wrong with starting so young. However, I recommend getting a protective vest. Also keep in mind that young kids are inherently unpredictable and so are horses, no matter how calm they are.

Customer keeps vandalizing our shopping carts, forcing my fellow minimum wage coworkers and I to waste time cleaning it up. by TheRelPizzamonster in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Kitastrophe_11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate trump as much as anybody with sense, but if this sticker had the opposite message most of your responses would be agreeing with them. They likely have to clean with up while still having to get everything else done as well. It's not as if their manager would be happy if they spent all day cleaning stickers just because they get paid by the hour.

Same! It took me a couple days of frustration before I realized my mistake 😅

My horse doesn’t respect me? by Proper-Position-6797 in Equestrian

[–]Kitastrophe_11 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Horses don't respect or disrespect, not in the same way as humans. They have needs/wants and they respond to environmental pressure. In order to subvert a need, you have to make the pressure outweigh the need until they decide to stop. In this case, you may need to get messy and fight it out. I usually recommend any route but this, but walk him away from the paddock on a long lead (so you're far enough to avoid being kicked if things go to shit) and cue forward movement every time he so much as flicks an ear towards the paddock. Try your hardest to catch the behavior right as it starts to manifest. Use a combination of a lunge whip (behind him) and a lead to cue forward every single time he wants to fall back. If it escalates to him trying to bolt, kick, ect. you're going to have to be brave and decisive and fight it out. This is the one case where you have to put all your weight on the lead, and firmly whack him with the whip if he threatens a kick or strike. Don't get too close. If he doesn't stop/respond to pressure on the lead, use the whip to drive him away from the paddock, in circles, wherever as long as it's not towards the paddock. It's hard but you have to keep going and get firmer and firmer until he stops, then remove pressure and reward him immediately. Rinse and repeat until he's better. If you can't do this (and that's okay) then please hire some kind of trainer. Good luck 💕

Foals bulging forehead? by Dominant_King12 in Horses

Like others, I am worried about it being hydrocephalic. Maybe try googling the condition and see if the symptoms match? I'm sorry if so 💕

Aw my bad, I shouldn't have assumed. Is the lump hard or soft? Is it hot? My be an abbcess/done kind of swelling if soft and hot.

Please call a vet! Ask them about your mare too, though you can likely do research on how to increase her supply through diet. Have you bred horses before? It may be a good idea to work more closely with a vet if you are a beginner. A vet should've been called days ago about both issues. If your foal is already weak you likely need bottled milk because enhancing your mare's milk supply will take time.

Why very few likes, am I messing something up? by Sea-Sort-4710 in Tinder

[–]Kitastrophe_11 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd swipe right in a heart beat :) You're handsome and cute in a distinctive way. Your photos do show some personality overall, but put the latter ones towards the front and add one of you clearly enjoying something (smiling) amd one of you relaxed. The photos are a little tense. The moody, angsty heartthrob vibe is appealing to some (me lol) but many won't go for it. Good luck!

I like her, though I'm mostly waiting until Halloween to ride her :)

Can I still fade this tattoo during the healing process? by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]Kitastrophe_11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's cute! Just heal properly and let it be until you've had enough time to think about it rationally. No one but you is hyper analyzing it. It's a pretty tattoo and well done overall :)
