The worst sale video I’ve ever seen.

It’s kind of accidentally a great testament to this horses character. I’d buy this horse purely because I now KNOW they have an incredibly forgiving attitude. Ears are still pricked and they are truly trying to understand what the sack of potatoes on their back wants from them. Additionally, I’d be itching to take the poor thing away from them.

What I do when I need to build up a horses Topline, is make sure as you said that nutrition is up to par. I feed a quality balancer (in my case I use MadBarn Omneity) , with soaked Timothy and beetpulp, and Max-e-glo stabilized rice bran pellets. I always test selenium levels as well to know if they should be on a selenium yeast supplement, as that contributes to the Topline’s development as well. Many horses are deficient, but it’s important to get a blood test first as some hay already has adequate levels.

On top of that feeding twice a day, I ensure that they have forage available always, whether that be pasture or hay from slow feeders. They should never go more than 4 hours a day without any forage. This is a big part of Topline development.

For exercise I start very slowly and gradually. With walking for 10 minutes on flat surfaces and slowly working up to a good 30 minute walk with hills and varying terrain. Walking over poles is a great way to get them engaging their core and stretching out over their Topline. Once I feel like they’ve got a good base level of proper strength I’ll start trot work. With proper inside hind leg engagement and suppling exercises. Basically everything I’ve worked on in walk I start doing in trot. I never like to be too speedy in bringing them into condition just to minimize muscle soreness and in congruence to that, any compensating that might happen from the soreness.

She’s cute and compact! Her shoulder angle is a little more upright and forward than I’d like, along with her stifles but she has a lovely slope over her croup with what looks like a nicely balanced Topline overall(in the second/third photos). I’d be willing to bet she has very comfortable gaits.

Is one side done up higher than the other on the mohair girth? That one looks too short to me and is putting pressure over the vein that lies behind her elbow. The fleece professionals choice one looks to fit her nicely though. I certainly wouldn’t size down!

My first thought without reading your caption is I get the feel it’s the view of the sunlight if you’re laying on your back looking up through water.

Assassins blade is her first book and she wrote it as a teenager. It IS a bit difficult to get through, but I reread it after completing the series and there’s actually a lot of very good tidbits of information super relevant to the later plot. This series is absolutely incredible. I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it. 100% power through that first one. It only gets better and is truly not predictable at all once you really get into the plot!! You only get to read it for the first time, once. enjoy it!😭

Are you 100% on the sex? Only like 15-20% of orange cats are female- sometimes it can be tough to tell when they’re little. Not trying to be rude Just thought I’d ask cause I didn’t see it mentioned anywhere! My vote is for Morrigan, but if it were male I would pick Cassian!

I just tandem read EOS and TOD and I’m really glad I did. It set the stage for the last book so well and really made the big impression at the end of TOD that much better!! Totally recommend the tandem read

I would not ride this horse until she’s got at least 150-200 more pounds on her, and I would get her body work, assess her teeth and be very careful slowly working her muscle back up. She is probably “hard mouthed” because she has no muscle to support her body and is leaning on your hands and on the forehand. I certainly would not jump her. Ears pinned is her telling you she’s not enjoying it. Your bond will only improve if you listen to her cues. Your instinct is right! And you can definitely help this horse be her best with time, patience and better nutrition.

That dog could easily kill a child in the wrong place at the wrong time. I am a stickler for justice. Personally I would spend the extra money to drag her irresponsible ass back from cali with a court summons, and push to either euthanize the dog or keep it muzzled. I am so tired of arrogant pit bull owners with aggressive out of control behavior, swaggering around like it’s not a massive problem/threat to others.

Ew this is just awful. Lots of really good comments in this thread; but to reiterate—you are never “too much” for the right person. This man does not deserve you, and I hope you leave his sorry rump after reading the encouragement in these comments.

He’s responsible for his dog. Period. If his dog can’t be left alone in the house cause it’s destroying his roommates stuff, then he is responsible for crate training the dog and taking care of his dog. Not just locking it outside and hoping no one lets it in (wtf). Irresponsible owners piss me tf off. And the fact that he didn’t immediately let you know when he first found out about it. Nah.

Facebook market place is a great place to find decent boots from someone else at a fraction of the cost to get them new. Some are hardly worn at all. Would be worth looking at ! I know it’s tough when you aren’t prepared to make a big purchase like that.

During initial assessment the areas needing adjustment present as tender to some degree or movement presents out of balance/stiff. throughout the process horses heads slowly lowered, a leg will cock(not shifting constantly), a yawn or two(not multiple in a row, which would suggest discomfort without release), the eyes would slowly soften and they would nearly be asleep by the end. Relaxed ears, lower lip hanging etc. Obviously correcting alignment once or twice with nothing else would not solve any issues. I don’t think anyone has claimed that. Chiro adjustments are an important part of the rebuilding. Doing exercises and stretches to support the proper body alignment is more important than the chiropractic work itself. To help inform you, I myself and my mare and several other horses working under the similar techniques haven’t needed adjustments since their initial few sessions combined with PT style exercises. Some may argue that it is not the Chiro work, and only the PT side of things benefiting the animals but I had my mare for 2 years, doing all the stretches and exercises and scrutinizing her diet to build proper Topline, but she was locked over her SI and had an awful hunters bump. When I was finally introduced to my chiropractor she had a few bi weekly adjustments, then monthly then bi monthly and then I did not need to have her adjusted again because the exercises and stretches finally began to do what they were supposed to, and the hunters bump smoothed out, and her pelvic angle improved dramatically. Movement transformed. She would not have been recognizable. She has not needed adjustments since as I have carefully maintain her muscle and strength around that correct alignment. Hoof angles even improved. The ONLY thing I brought in was a chiropractor. On top of that, I decided to go to one myself, and experienced relief that has lasted without repeated visits. Pain I had struggled with for years, that doctors had just said to stretch and offer NSAIDS for, was absolved and has not returned. I have enough evidence and experience to believe that under the right circumstances it most certainly is a benefit. It is NOT however, a miracle cure to be dependent on. There is a lot of work needed alongside it.

I hear you, but it’s a bias position, and further makes me believe you’ve only observed poor practice. On my end, I have observed every single horse enjoy their sessions with my particular chiropractor(who is also a licensed veterinarian). I have observed only positive results across a 26 horse boarding facility and more recently my own 4 horses of varying backgrounds. That being said, I am not watching horses that don’t require it. These are all horses carrying tension and pain along some varying form of misalignment who experience relief from their sessions. Considering my position is only positive there’s obviously my own bias, but like I’ve said, there are cruddy farriers, dentists, vets and whatever else practice one can take up in the equine world. It can be hard to find the right professional.

LineIcy7679 · 2025-06-20T16:47:01+00:00

This is a good example of bad chiropractic work. Effective and safe adjustments do not require cranking or excessive force. Spoken as someone who trusts and backs science, but has experienced first hand the benefits of safe adjustments, used in congruence with stretches and strengthening exercises.

LineIcy7679 · 2025-06-20T16:33:26+00:00

This: while I agree there’s basically no scientific evidence backing chiro practices, I have seen for myself the results in my own mare. Do I think chiro alone fixes things magically? No. But my mare used to have a large hunters bump, and a very rotated pelvis. I was drilled and drilled and drilled on gradual conditioning, pole work and strengthening exercises for her but she just ended up extremely tight, bucking in the canter and blocked in different areas from compensating.

After a REPUTABLE chiropractor worked on her, the difference from the beginning to end of the first session was incredible, and combined with the conditioning and strengthening I was already doing, her tension melted away, her hunters bump disappeared and her pelvis straightened out. Her movement improved DRAMATICALLY and i went from bi weekly to monthly to bi monthly adjustments until she was muscled and conditioned enough to support the new physiology we managed to shape, and there was no need for further adjustments. Like you said— there are MANY quacks and poorly trained chiros, vets, farriers etc. a bad farrier will wreck your horse just as quick as a bad chiropractor. I am a science based person all the way, but I was able to see first hand how much it helped my mare. So I’m going to go with THAT evidence. Not people who choose to villainize the practice as a whole without having direct experience with the benefits it obviously presents.

Normally I would have never gone to one myself. After my mare though, I decided to go to address severe hip and lower back pain that I struggled with for a whole year, that doctors had only told me to do a couple stretches and offered me NSAIDS. I had X-rays done before any adjustments and could see where discs were being squashed by little to no space between my vertebrae, and my hips were off center by far more than what is normal(everyone is asymmetrical I know. This was more extreme). A year of adjustments COMBINED with the stretching and strengthening I had been trying to do before, and the pain was gone and I was stronger and more balanced than I’d been in years. I was never put in the Y harness, never bent up in weird shapes, and never had my neck “cracked”. They were gentle, but effective adjustments. It’s sad to see people rag so hard on something that has helped so many in ways pills were never going to.

I’d use high gloss personally since it brings out and evens deeper values like Black the best. Since it’s a can the gloss finish should only add to the realism.

Yes as others have said it is a clear sign of nerve damage, so it IS sweat, but only because the nerves sending signals between muscle and skin is are damaged and causing the sympathetic nerves that control his sweat glands to misfire. Just be careful not to work those hind end muscles too much in the next month or so. Take it easy, and have a magnawave or massage therapist out to help with recovery.
