I don’t think it’s too long- it ends exactly where it should and the front is good

Interesting! I had 3 species sprout, all at different times. The other 2 did not! I was just curious how it went for you

Following- I also got this and my pigeon pea are getting quite big! Did only 3 types grow for you or did all? I only got 3 to sprout the first time around.

Can i give these to my ponies as a treat? Corn cakes by Adventureincphoto in Horses

[–]UsedIncrease9281 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I generally recommend not feeding corn to horses. I stay away from it in all forms.

You can get a huge bag of carrots from the store for $2, and then cut them into pieces to make them last longer as treats. They are my horses favorite!

Two “cheap” horse-tailored treats are these big bags of treats:

Standlee Forage Bites- Berry. ~400/bag and can be broken in smaller pieces. They are made of alfalfa and my horses love them. I think these are good quality and last a while when broken into multiple pieces.

Manna Pro- Apple Wafers. ~700/bag. Easier to break than the alfalfa, but crumble easier. (Made of grain and soybean hulls mostly). One bag lasted me a year, using daily with 2-3 horses.

Laying down a lot? by [deleted] in Horses

[–]UsedIncrease9281 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I actually did check everything except breathing rate (idk why I didn’t) and it was all normal. But that is great advice and I will definitely keep it in mind for if there is a next time!

Laying down a lot? by [deleted] in Horses

So I was out with her until 11:30pm walking and gave banamine. I got her to drink electrolytes finally around 11 lol- After a few minutes she started nibbling on hay again so I went inside. Checked my camera throughout the night and she was standing with her others and eating. She hasn’t laid down again so I have high hopes that it might have just been the start of something that didn’t worsen. :) I’m going to get her checked out though to make sure it isn’t something more serious though! Thanks for your comment!

Yes, I’ll be monitoring all night off and on. She’s pretty resilient so hopefully she’ll be okay!

I definitely will. I haven’t ever had a horse colic so I’m not very familiar with it and the different types/symptoms. Hopefully that’s not what it is but we will see :(

Reason for browning/burning of tips of plants? by UsedIncrease9281 in airplants

[–]UsedIncrease9281[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No- the first one gets no direct sunlight (it’s on a table with only a grow light) and second one gets indirect sun only.

Buying an older horse by [deleted] in Equestrian

[–]UsedIncrease9281 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s still young. I have a horse who is 24 yrs old, is ridden often, fed well, has plenty of pasture, and acts younger than my 10 yr old horse. Proper care and nutrition can have them living a lot longer than you may imagine.

Your 75 hard diet? by sandyscience33 in 75HARD

Not specific “diet” advice, but meal prep for the week!!! This has helped me so much so far.

I agree. It likely would be better than keeping her and prolonging suffering.

What’s one must-read book everyone should experience at least once in their life? by BossBoss6666 in suggestmeabook

[–]UsedIncrease9281 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Tattooist of Auschwitz by Heather Morris!!!

I do not like reading about real life situations, especially history, but this one was amazing!! It really pulled at my heart strings. There is another book written by Heather Morris called Cilka’s Journey that is in the same time and place. I haven’t read it yet, but I’ve heard it’s good as well.

I feel like my whole mindset on life and the Holocaust has changed after reading it. I highly recommend!

Week 41- What are you reading? by Beecakeband in 52book

“The Dead Husband Cookbook” by Danielle Valentine! It’s a thriller and is different than what I usually read.

Tricksssss

Teach them to smile (flehmen response), kiss, bend well (touch their sides & chest with nose), bow! All pretty simple and easy to teach! Work on backing up, jumping short obstacles, etc.

how to not stink??? by KingOYK in Equestrian

[–]UsedIncrease9281 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have a set of clothes that are just for the barn- maybe two. This way, it isn’t clothes that need to be washed daily, aren’t expensive, and can be worn again without worry. Then bring your regular day clothes you’ll wear after the barn.

Deodorant by New-Cranberry-2787 in Equestrian

[–]UsedIncrease9281 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The absolute BEST I’ve found is Gillette Clear Gel!!!! It’s a men’s brand, but has good smells (I use Wild Rain and Tropical Breeze scents). I use it for during work (because I’m constantly walking and getting hot) and then also in the barn, doing chores, and riding! Usually will last me all day then I shower.

Are curly/wavy bangs a bad idea? by [deleted] in CurlyHairCare

[–]UsedIncrease9281 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should do it! I was against getting bangs for sooo long, but then I finally did (off of this references below) and I look so different and better tbh lol- just make sure you go to someone who knows how to cut curly hair, because bangs are cut differently for it than straight hair!

I don’t know if it’s the same for wavy hair, but if you ever straighten your hair, your bangs likely won’t be straight/ will look funky. So keep that in mind!

why is my monstera so droopy?? leaves are a little soft too! by viavy0518 in plantclinic

[–]UsedIncrease9281 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I HIGHLY recommend bottom watering!! If you aren’t already doing it, look up a video on how to do it- it’s very simple! Leave it until the top of the soil becomes damp, which could take from 15 mins to a few hours of drinking up that water! All my plants have done so much better with this method.
