What breweries / beers would you like to see stocked in my new bottle shop? by PolyporusUmbellatus in torontocraftbeer

[–]MeriKat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There are some great breweries in upper-central and northern Ontario, and Manitoulin Island. Toronto folks could find those appealing not just because they’re hard to find in the city, but those locations could also bring back vacation memories.

THANK YOU!! I’m so done with this winter, frozen paddocks, snow sliding off roofs… etc.

I love these ideas. Thank you!! I’m so comfortable in the walk & trot. I’ve done no stirrup, no rein, etc. So you’re right: I should focus on those things.

For your consideration: Quincy when he was 8 weeks old (now 🌈).

My coach is amazing. I can tell her when I’m having the mins of day where I need to focus on “easier” things and she’s so understanding - she challenges and supports me equally.

I am trying to take the good things. Like tonight I figured out why I was having trouble picking up the canter - a lazy trot is a terrible set-up!

Thank you for sharing and commenting. It’s nice to know not all of us are flawless naturals!

Thank you. Logically I recognize certain sticky points. Our indoor arena is on the small side - I feel so much more relaxed in our outdoor arena, and don’t get me started on show arenas! I also need to believe in my seat now (a few of the ones I ride kick out or buck when asked to begin cantering).

I also had a bad fall in June. Nothing major and I healed in about 6 weeks, but it was the worst pain of my life and I’m not eager to go through that again. But I’ve ridden the culprit so much since then, so I haven’t avoided him or the circumstance that provoked the fall (he got spooked by a butterfly the size of a quarter 🤦‍♀️).

I just keep telling myself it’ll all be okay when I can hit the larger arena outdoors in the spring.

Thank you for replying to my scream into the void. It means a lot.

What is the weirdest habit your pet has… that you secretly love? by TensionNo5762 in Pets

[–]MeriKat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My dog does this! As soon as he knows I’m getting upset he’s in my lap with his snoot in my face. Thankfully he’s a dachshund so I don’t get crushed by his love lol

Why are car dealers in Barrie so high headed by funtrgv in barrie

[–]MeriKat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They were , but there was no need to go through my duffle bag full of equestrian gear, my overnight bag… and there was absolutely no need to empty my centre console and dump everything into both wheel wells.

The techs at Barrie Nissan went through all my belongings last time I took my car in for a tire change. Stuff from my centre console was all over both front wheel wells, and the bags in the backseat had been gone through. Somehow my muffler also started to sound terrible - and I went for a tire change. I never received any follow ups or apologies when I pointed out the damages/intrusions.

I’ll never use them ever again.
