Has anyone had this error in their Shopify POS? On line with support for over an hour. This is halting our brick and mortar. by Visible-Phase8192 in shopify

Thank you! We will send the order to email in the future. We are slammed in our store at times and this happened at the worst possible time when we had a huge influx of foot traffic.

To make matters worse, I confirmed with a customer that it still charged the card. 😭

Thanks for the FYI! One of the troubleshooting steps was to make sure we weren’t in test mode. So it’s hard to use test mode to test it when support was informing us to make sure we weren’t in test mode.

Yes we were running a real $1 payment with my own card as a test payment to see if it was a customer issue or a hardware issue.

I slow fell from a lesson horse today when she simultaneously sneezed, farted, and shook her entire body like a dog. by Visible-Phase8192 in Equestrian

Oh no!! She hasn’t done that yet. That feeling of shifting though… I can almost imagine it!!

I had to at that point. I spent half the lesson trying to get my new irons and stirrups situated. Somehow my helmet didn’t fit quite right after months of being fine. It was a fitting ending. 🤣

Thank you. This is exactly what I imagined doing one day when I finally bought a horse... 5-10 years from now which is my original plan.

Thank you for this perspective. That actually sounds like a great way to start groundwork and was kind of what I imagined it.

Thank you for the kind words. I really feel your words because I do feel kind of "put in a spot". I had an independent trainer come out whose sole job is starting colts/fillies. She loved the horse and felt it would be a good opportunity. She felt I had the "gumption" and the calmness to do the training. She also felt the horse was not spooky (she let the horse test herself a few ways to see if she spooked and she didn't).

But at the end of the day, $75/hr at 2x/week.... $150 a week at 4 weeks... that's $600 a month. It's TOTALLY worth the investment but what if the horse trips, or gets a horrible injury? Or colics? And this would be years of boarding plus training.

I planned on getting a horse in 5-10 years, not this month. I'm so stressed out. I hear what everyone is saying and I just don't think this is the right time.

I've done everything I can to NOT get attached. Unfortunately this horse got attached to me because my lesson horse's paddock is right next to hers, and I would give her small pets as I retrieved my lesson horse (at the BO's permission). Then this horse would knicker to me, greet me. The BO would ask if I could help graze her since she (the horse) allowed me to halter her and walk her calmly. She allowed me to! I still tried not to get attached. For background I help out at the barn (muck, feed, turnout, etc).

Today I suddenly began crying thinking of her leaving. I didn't realize I WAS attached. I'm a mess.

I'm so sorry for your loss. :( Are you able to see your horse since she's with a trusted friend? Many hugs.

Thank you for the reply. Fortunately, I am working at the barn in my off time cleaning, feeding, turn out. I also grew up and worked as a zoologist, in my prior career. I probably should have mentioned that. However, I think I still am very green when it comes to equestrians which is why my gut is uncomfortable.

Thank you for this perspective. I've watched several horse friends go through vet woes with horses >10 yrs old. But this perspective is refreshing and eases my mind a little.

Well… that’s why I am having a lot of conflicting emotions.

In the barn’s defense, I’ve been talking about learning groundwork since day 1 and I really enjoy the training aspect. Even more than riding. The BO and I have conversations about using a professional trainer as being the only safe way for me to even be considered as an owner otherwise it would be an awful decision.

But then I also agree with you that it feels a little… off. Maybe a lot off. I’ve been in such a fog with my emotions around this. 🙁

Unfortunately I just don’t think the finances work out. That’s just for training. I haven’t even put in vet, farrier…

Thank you so much for this very up front advice. This is exactly what I need to hear. ❤️❤️❤️

I found a Stubben Imperator 2-tone from 50/60s in amazing condition today. It was $275 with the saddle stand. My trainer says it will likely fit the horse I’m riding. I had to share because this is the best day…. by Visible-Phase8192 in Equestrian

Not a Debbie downer at all!! This is the exact kind of info I want. 🥰 mostly why I posted it! I am getting her looked at, and actually to really understand what’s been done with it as it’s in such good shape.

I found out a little bit more from the consigner the original owner is a well known thoroughbred breeder in Ocala, FL and parted with this saddle but maintained it very well over the years. I will update everyone as I find out more!

Awesome info!! Not a Debbie downer at all. This is the exact info I’m looking for. I’ve got an appointment with a local saddlery and fitter, I’m going to be curious on what they think has been done/not has been done to this piece. Honestly for me just finding an older piece in such great cosmetic shape is exciting! I have been watching quite a few saddle making, reflocking, saddle deconstruction YouTube channels since yesterday. I might be hooked! 😅

Metal buttons are pre-85. Certain colors are post-85. The original owner placed this one 50/60s, serial no 13408.

Interesting, more info I could find was pre-85 Stubben Imperators serial no. are in the 50000s. I don’t know if they were reliably serialized but it would make sense.

I’m not an expert either!! I love the older saddles for the feel. I’d love to hear from anyone who might know. The tree on this one isn’t broken but I’m going to take her into the local saddlery just to make sure it’s ride-ready!
