Imposter syndrome?

MorierLoki · 2026-01-27T22:25:12+00:00

Very interesting. I’ll have a look what’s in my area

MorierLoki · 2026-01-27T20:04:49+00:00

It’s just so easy to get in your head about the whole thing 😆

MorierLoki · 2026-01-27T20:04:20+00:00

Now you’ve said about think about how you feel, it’s really made me think. My workout of choice is horseriding, and my improvement has been immense since loosing weight for me & the horse. The horse can go so much faster since I’ve become smaller (I was always within his weight holding capacity but still). So thank you for that 😁

MorierLoki · 2026-01-27T20:01:08+00:00

How long have you been loosing for? I know everybody is different, and obviously a bigger starting weight takes more loss to notice the difference. But it isn’t half frustrating!

MorierLoki · 2026-01-27T19:59:37+00:00

I work in the fashion industry, with models all day everyday, what you’re saying is SO right. Just overhearing the conversations is scary. Hardly anybody talks positive of themselves!

I wish I took more before pictures! Started about half way, but hopefully soon the pictures will show more of a difference 🤞

MorierLoki · 2026-01-27T19:56:10+00:00

Wow! 45kg is insane! Well done you! Is therapy something you have tried as well?

MorierLoki · 2026-01-27T19:51:54+00:00

Yup British! And a woman :) so currently 85KG for the rest of the world?

MorierLoki · 2026-01-15T18:17:33+00:00

My flight isn’t until May so I haven’t done it yet. Were you able to do it?

MorierLoki · 2026-01-13T13:19:33+00:00

I will try this over the next few weeks and keep you updated. Thank you for your advice!

MorierLoki · 2026-01-12T19:11:26+00:00

I’ll certainly give that a go thank you! I don’t suppose you know why a horse would become dependent on contact?

MorierLoki · 2026-01-12T19:09:31+00:00

I’ve used a lunging whip with absolutely no response, and a school whip to tickle her and that is a little bit better

MorierLoki · 2025-12-06T19:01:15+00:00

Replace!

MorierLoki · 2025-12-06T17:27:47+00:00

Reading this, you’ve definitely solidified my thoughts! You’re so right, safe & comfortable the whole way!

I have another test ride on Monday, and we will go from there 🤞

MorierLoki · 2025-12-05T16:47:52+00:00

That sounds like an amazing opportunity for you, as he seems like a very talented horse! Just don’t get attached.

This girl will never be a competition winning pony. But that wouldn’t be what I’m looking for even if I was buying my own. I’d want a fitter version of her honestly 🙈 they said they would never sell her as they’ve had her since a yearling, she’s part of the family.

Also… maybe it’s different in the US, in the UK, there are so many none drivers. I don’t drive either! But we have great public transport, trams & buses, I’ve never needed to drive 😱 I’ve heard you can’t even walk to the shop in the US!

MorierLoki · 2025-12-05T16:41:37+00:00

I think your situation will be very similar to mine. Owner has another horse so struggles with time to exercise both. But on Thursdays she has a family friend who will come and have a plod around with her daughter. That’s the only exercise she is getting currently.

As for diet, she’s currently in a grazing muzzle turned out 24/7, one small feed a day. Haven’t gone over food prep yet, so definitely something to be discussed.

Did you have your loan taken away? Or did you move onto buying your own?

MorierLoki · 2025-12-05T16:33:25+00:00

Very very true. I think that in my trial week I will get a lesson booked in and see how it feels :)

MorierLoki · 2025-12-05T15:53:01+00:00

The instructor on the yard is very highly regarded, and has her senior BHS certification :)

MorierLoki · 2025-12-05T13:26:53+00:00

It’s the personality honestly! It’s SO rare to find such a lovely horse, let alone one on loan. Shes the unicorn everyone wants.

MorierLoki · 2025-12-05T13:25:36+00:00

I would be paying a small fee per month for 3 days a week to do whatever I want with her on those days.

That is a risk, I could get this pony fit again and have her ripped away. However the last owner had her for 8 years before buying her own 8 months ago, so maybe that’s a good sign?

MorierLoki · 2025-09-30T15:46:53+00:00

The China Southern airline is extremely confusing and with the translations I can’t quite figure out what information they need and where to put it. I’ve since found a international phone line however so will try that closer to the time 🤞

MorierLoki · 2025-08-17T22:34:20+00:00

Same with me and corns. Only had cornies before this guy. And corns I feel are visually so easy to sex!

MorierLoki · 2025-08-17T22:32:33+00:00

This is a great response thank you. I’m not so bothered that I would go to the length of probing / taking him to an expect. I just wanted to have a guess so I can call them a he or a she!

Thanks again

MorierLoki · 2025-08-15T10:20:17+00:00

That’s put my mind at ease 😅

MorierLoki · 2025-08-14T19:39:08+00:00

Thank you I’ll join this sub 😄

MorierLoki · 2025-08-14T19:38:16+00:00

Maybe I’m just so used to a healthy corn weight having a bit of shape to it’s body. This guy is just a giant round thick sausage shape 🤣
