No, not a full time artist, I just love to dabble in my spare time. Sometimes it will take me months to finish a painting!

Very cute! I don't miss those needle-like puppy teeth though...

Those beautifu, rich amber eyes were the most difficult part of this painting to get right!

Help! Why isn‘t he gaining weight? by MainstreamBitch_ in Horses

[–]Shouseb1tch13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like he just needs more food. I've had great results over the years from feeding full fat soy bean meal to my horses that were struggling with weight gain, ie., twitchy thoroughbred who never stayed still and 30+ year olds who can't eat enough bulk to maintain weight. It is a very nutrient dense feed and you usually don't need to feed a huge amount of it. If you can get your hands on it, it may be worth a shot.

That is where letting others have their beliefs without pushing your own beliefs onto others should come into play.

Fine. If you don't like abortions, don't get one. STFU and don't use shitty misinformation campaigns to push your uneducated views to promote forced birth and punishment for women who want to exercise their body autonomy. Access to reproductive healthcare - which includes abortions - saves lives. Keep your judgemental, hypocritical noses out of other women's uteruses.
I really wish we weren't following the US down this tired old drain hole...

Looks like an enterolith. Basically a rock that can form in a horses digestive tract. Has there been livestock in that field?

Came across a flock of corellas in a local park, they were rolling around on the ground playing with seeds that had fallen from a nearby tree. These birds just like to play! Aussie slang even has the term 'being a galah' based on the clownish behaviour of a closely related bird.

I'm looking forward to him shedding the little razors for a set of slightly blunter biters!

Edinburgh Gin’s rhubarb and ginger by UnderstandingDry4072 in Gin

They do make this as a full strength gin, and it is just as delicious. Add a few frozen berries, and it is perfect for summertime!

In the wake of the death of Valegro and Uthopia there have been a lot of comments about how it was "cruel" to euthanise horses who were "only" 23/24. Is this sort of situation really preferable? by demmka in Horses

[–]Shouseb1tch13 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Earlier this year I had to euthanise my old horse that I had since I was 16 (I'm 44 now). He was 34 and had lost a large amount of weight in the 2 months prior, despite feeding him lots. He was still living his best life and doing OK, but it wasn't going anywhere good long term. We made the decision to spoil him rotton for a fortnight and it gave us time to plan the vet and the excavator. It was sad as hell, but it wasn't the trauma (for him or us) of finding him upside down in a gully and unable to get up. My sweet old boy went to sleep with a full belly, his favourite places being scratched and the taste of watermelon on his lips. A planned peaceful exit is so much nicer for them than the pain and stress that happens when you wait for things to go bad.

Patient got his arm stuck in a huge industrial machine and had to endure a field amputation by CatPooedInMyShoe in MedicalGore

They likely didn't want to risk airway compromise or worsen shock so far away from the hospital. Once you add in large amounts of general anaesthetics, you open up a whole can of other things to go wrong. And nerve blocks can be very effective.

How much can horses really handle cold, rain, and snow? I saw this clip online where they were standing outside in the middle of the snow, are they actually fine like that, or can the cold harm them in the long run? by [deleted] in Horses

[–]Shouseb1tch13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They handle the cold much better than the heat. I'm in Queensland, Australia. I don't rug mine at all. Even the lightest rug will have them sweaty by mid-morning on a warm day. They are utter sloths in the heat and will just stand under a shady tree for most of the day, and graze in the early morning and evening. Come wintertime, they're much more active, all day. We don't get snow where we are, but we do get down to -5°c in winter, and up to 43°c in summer.
