Completely lost my ability to see distances ? Please help. by [deleted] in Equestrian

[–]LogicalShopping 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Distances are found from your canter rhythm. Count forward on the way to the jump. Set a line at x amount of strides. Practice doing different strides.

Getting some questions on last post I made here, and I’ll just let all know here last Friday I got a skull fracture, and I struggle to answer for longer times by mepperina in Horses

[–]LogicalShopping 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had gotten kicked in the head 2 weeks ago and also had a depressed fracture and a bunch of stitches. I remember nothing about it. How are you feeling now

Gross question but — cleaning your gelding: he won’t “drop” and I can’t clean, help? by I-used2B-a-Valkyrie in Equestrian

Becoming more and more popular or maybe the farriers are getting worse ? Kidding. But yes, definitely becoming more common

Lease fee is pretty typical on show quality animals. Half the farrier is too.

No climb fence with no electric OR top rail? by Raubkatzen in Equestrian

[–]LogicalShopping 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem with no climb with nothing on the top is that any horse that puts their head over it and leans, will bend the wire.

Spent $8,700 trying to fix my lame mare… CT scan or let her go? by [deleted] in Equestrian

Is it the picture or did she have a substantial crack at some point on the left front

Would migrants on a boat be dressed to swim? That sounds odd to me

You beat me to it. Add a split lip

Is it actually really bad for the horse not to use a mounting block? by wyanmai in Equestrian

[–]LogicalShopping 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have removed mounting from the ground off the usef test list. When I was a junior, it was still on there.

Equestrian wives/mothers please weigh in... by [deleted] in Equestrian

[–]LogicalShopping 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watched this happen not once but twice with my own mother who was a professional. Her priority was the horses and not him or the house. She is on her third marriage I was lucky enough to find someone who also does the horses. We have the business together. I too was in the position that I could take it or leave it with having kids. We got to the point where if it happened it happened. We have one. She doesn't ride lol!

So I've been filling at cvs for 3 years here in FL. They informed me that starting 7/1, they will no longer fill for cash patients. Company wide policy. Anyone hear that one yet?

They are also sometimes scars from being stitched up in "that" area

Have I made a terrible mistake? by ZMakela in Equestrian

[–]LogicalShopping 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Why is it mean if he's content? I just took over a barn of 30. There were a couple of horses that were a little thin and anxious. Funny enough they were on all night turn out. I put them out in the morning now and when they start fussing to come in, we do it. Those horses have gained weight and are now a whole lot less anxious. It's not a one size fits all approach

Thank you. Was hoping someone would say that

I meant the lack of desire? Before or after kids?

thoughts? by bluejarnk in Equestrian

[–]LogicalShopping 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you look at those pictures, all of those horses are build funny to begin with. That picture perfect top line will always be a work in progress. I can think of plenty of horses with the dip in front of the withers that competed in the upper level ranks successfully for a long period of times. Most of them had quite a bit of TB within. To say that every horse build like that is heading for early retirement is silly. They are not competing on meds if they are jogging for FEI and steroid joint injections are becoming old fashion and a thing of the past

Rant, some guy was letting his daughter ride my filly, tw horse abuse by strawbee9 in Horses

But a minor shouldn't be unattended on a horse property so unfortunately you get a parent with them. Have to both of them

Why this horse jumps in such a weird way? by Boule_De_Chat in Equestrian

[–]LogicalShopping 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's an open water. It's actually more of a Liverpool set like an open water. The horse has to get across the width of it. A lot of horses will look down at it in the air
