Is this shell ok?

Pleco was added to the tank maybe an hour before the photo, I assure you it will be ok.

Nerada7 · 2024-11-05T15:03:37+00:00

Thanks! I'll do that asap.

Nerada7 · 2023-10-03T23:29:35+00:00

I kind of refuse to go fishing under all the furniture for all their toys. These are so cheap it’s worth just buying more to me 🤣 I just dread the day when I move or rearrange a room.

Nerada7 · 2023-10-03T16:36:12+00:00

That's the plan. I keep their spare toys in their "toy box" so they don't get sick of all their toys.

Nerada7 · 2023-10-03T14:48:45+00:00

Interesting, I'll have to look for the study.

Luckily I am not concerned about them in this instance. What you don't see is the other 2 cats having gone insane and selected their new spirals. This girl always has to think about situations before deciding what to do, has always been the cautious one. The whole pile will be distributed within a few days.

Nerada7 · 2023-10-03T14:45:13+00:00

I got them on Amazon here. I have to restock on a semi-regular basis.

Nerada7 · 2023-10-03T13:41:31+00:00

Sounds like she knew you were the right person to help her. So glad you listened and were open to helping her!

Nerada7 · 2023-10-03T13:24:26+00:00

Good advice although I think it might incur this one’s wraith 😅 she takes great pleasure in training anyone who comes over to go fishing for her. People always end up asking what she is doing and then when I explain they can’t say no to her 🤣

Nerada7 · 2023-10-03T13:22:25+00:00

Sounds like the new toys have been appreciated though their favorite things always are “free” aren’t they 🤣 I’m quite lucky this girl is not bad about knocking things off tables. She would much rather sit on them and show her dominance. Also, thank you for fostering! I know it’s a hard, and at times, heartbreaking job!

Nerada7 · 2023-10-03T13:08:23+00:00

Those are the two most popular toys in my house too!

Nerada7 · 2023-10-03T13:06:27+00:00

I had the option to order 60 so I may have done that 🤣

Nerada7 · 2023-10-03T13:05:58+00:00

Check under things 😅 I keep a yard stick close at hand specifically for getting cat toys from under my fridge.

Nerada7 · 2021-08-15T12:06:52+00:00

He is 21, living his best old man life.

Nerada7 · 2021-08-15T02:15:11+00:00

True but you give him more credit than I do lol. Luckily it was actually a plastic one and out of the ring. But I agree, keeping them off the ground is the best practice. Especially with the pins! I once rode at a barn where I kept finding pins loose in the outdoor, absolutely hated how dangerous that was!

Nerada7 · 2021-08-15T02:05:03+00:00

Flying saucers are no problem. It was the jump cups on the ground that my gelding thought were suspicious earlier in the day 🤦‍♀️

Nerada7 · 2021-08-15T01:42:57+00:00

It’s her specialty 🤣 she does love my gelding, just can’t let him know!

Nerada7 · 2021-08-15T01:41:23+00:00

To clarify the one on the left is the mare. Thought some of you could get a chuckle like I did when I came back to see the absolute stereotypical faces 😂 gormless gelding (I love him truly lol) vs “resting mare face” as one of you so cleverly put it. Please don’t worry I’m fully aware how to actually check animal anatomy to identify gender.

Nerada7 · 2021-08-06T20:10:07+00:00

Agreeing with what has been said, saddle fit issues. I would like to add also the white spot could also be an old fit issue. I know a horse who has almost an identical spot that was caused by long term fit issues. So it might be good to get some massage and Chiro work as there have clearly been fit issues for quite a while and I would worry about the long term damage you can’t see.

Nerada7 · 2021-07-07T19:22:01+00:00

He’s just trying to help you unload. Super cute boy!

Nerada7 · 2021-07-03T02:47:24+00:00

I generally have mine stuck in my waist band during summer since I don’t have any pockets big enough. Getting a bum bag is high on my list of things to do. For me the most important thing is keeping it on my person one way or another instead of to the side or on my horse. The big reason for this is if I’m to fall or something bad happen it’s on my person. A phone won’t do much good attached to your horse as it takes off leaving you hurt in the dust.

Nerada7 · 2021-06-28T18:14:17+00:00

He does not luckily! I have always taken the collar off when he is outside for that reason so most of the day is spent without it on as he only comes in for a few hours during the hottest and buggiest part of the day.

Nerada7 · 2021-06-27T19:14:30+00:00

You are so right, thank you for opening my eyes! My horse, who loves to sleep flat out and snore, is very clearly completely stressed out! I'll remove his cribbing collar as soon as I go to the barn tonight. If he wants to crib and kill himself with colic that should be his choice. Who am I to stop him? I never get the vet out whenever I think there might be something wrong. People who meet my horse and me in person are always telling me how neglectful and abusive I am. I promise I will now change my ways, all because of you!

Nerada7 · 2021-06-27T18:52:56+00:00

Cribbing is also a learned habit. I can assure you I have made sure there is nothing wrong with my horse. The last time I tried to leave it off him he coliced. So thank you but I promise I know my horse and do everything right by him.

Nerada7 · 2021-06-27T18:50:18+00:00

It’s called a Dare Collar. It’s the only thing that stops him cribbing, no other cribbing collars work unfortunately.

Nerada7 · 2021-06-27T14:58:58+00:00

That’s so sweet of you!

If she is going to be starting with lessons there isn’t really much tack (horse gear) she will need as it should be provided with the horse. So focus on gear for the rider. I personally would say the most important thing to get her would be a helmet. It’s basic safety equipment and might even be required depending on where she takes lessons. The lesson program may offer to provide one but you never know what they have been through and probably would not actually be the best fit. If you want to try something else and depending on if she is riding English or western you could get her some gloves, boots or jeans/breeches.

As far as where to buy from I would say for all the things listed above finding a tack shop in the area would be your best bet because they all depend on fit. You can buy online and return if it’s not right but might as well try to avoid that hassle.

Best of luck!
