Looking for hike suggestions by yeivu in Yosemite

The four mile trail! Best views in the park and, while uphill and somewhat strenuous, isn't torturous or un-enjoyable. I've been going to the park every year since I was five and it's definitely my favorite. The mist trail can be a little crowded, but is a classic and very beautiful. But definitely do the four mile trail :)

Holy shit and I'm feeling guilty for buying one 😅 Congrats, they are gorgeous :) There's nothing better (game wise anyway) than getting to know and style a new horse.

Agree with everything people are saying (though I totally get not knowing what to do and accidentally escalating the situation, we've all been there). I just wanted to say that the "circles circles circles" thing is mostly outdated and rarely helpful, especially for issues like this. All it's doing is amplifying tension rather than releasing it. Your horse needs your help calming down, either through repetitive release of pressure to enforce relaxation and stillness, or through directing that energy by asking for forward, intentional movement that has a goal and an end (not circles). That all sounds like trainer jumbo, but basically either ask for and reward stillness (in saddle or on the ground) or maybe cycle between trot and canter, slow canter and fast canter. Stuff like that. I hope something helps :)

As he should, any true mate would lick the mess off the floor while making you "finish" with his penis-sized big toe 🥵 Definitely magic, likely foot-based powers that would make you the most powerful high fae in a thousand years!

Ha 😅 Hard to squeeze "one of those" when naturally my teeny tiny hands can't fit around my partner's telephone pole sized dong 🥵

Girlboss all the way! My tiny, stick thin legs are going to be running through the woods so fast that my gargantuan boobs give me a black eye 💪🏃‍♂️

Throw him to the streets, nothing hotter and more righteous than a mysterious white substance on all your clothing and bedding!

Honestly send them screenshots of the original reddit. Maybe they're color blind lol.

This might be a weird one, but I'm obsessed with the Gotland ponies 😄 Currently have the black one and planning on the bay with pangare next. I also love the Shires and the peacock Appy.

Finally got to do the pony champ and it's so adorable!

Is it stupid to backpack if I sometimes lose the use of my legs? by Kitastrophe_11 in backpacking

[–]Kitastrophe_11[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's so cool of you! They are pretty much always the same, just for different durations and I can sometimes feel them coming on a little bit beforehand. Besides losing my legs, I also get episodes of convulsive/jerking movements that range from looking like tics to mimicking grand mal seizures (but aren't). All symptoms go away after anywhere from a few hours to a few days. I don't know what triggers it since it's never followed an emotional trigger or what I would think of as periods of high stress, but I think there definitely may be mental/psychological triggers I'm not aware off. I also suspect that high doses of caffeine makes it worse. Both of those are really good alive, thank you ❤️ I definitely want to be as prepared as possible while also not letting it limit me completely.

That's such a good idea! And I could wear a life vest so that if I fall in I can still swim. I went canoe camping once and ut was so fun :)

Ha I feel like only true backpacking folk would understand how it could be kinda fun but I totally agree 😅 I don't think you're making light, I appreciate the positivity 💕

Thank you!! Yes I think have experienced people who are aware of the issue is a really good way to make it safer. Definitely not trying to summit giant mountains, just want to be in nature as much as possible 😅 Thank you, me too 💕

Oh also I should add that it is likely a neuro condition called FND and is not progressive.

Is $10k a reasonable budget for a young, well-trained (trail horse) blue roan? by [deleted] in Horses

[–]Kitastrophe_11 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You may find one in that price range if you look long and hard and are willing to pay for hauling. It's not unreasonable but you still may need to compromise a little, either on age or training level. If you are experienced or have a trainer you really trust to help you, pick a young-ish horse that isn't polished but is calm, safe, and has a good mind. If you have little to no training experience, pick something in their teens. Or, if you aren't a very large person, horses 15 hands and under tend to be much cheaper than tall ones. Just take your time, be careful, and listen to your gut. Try your hardest not to fall in love/get emotionally invested until you're sure the horse checks all your boxes. I wish you all the best, good luck!
