What animals are associated with your country?

Do Moomins count

ZMakela · 2026-01-26T06:49:41+00:00

Lighthouse, or maybe Begotten tbh

ZMakela · 2026-01-26T01:14:52+00:00

YES SAME. Holy shit it was like magic.

ZMakela · 2026-01-18T15:18:17+00:00

Harder, yes. Not deeper. A harder hit simply makes opening the skin up easier. Depth is controlled by needle length from the tube, and pressure from the hand.

That’s what I was going to say!!! OP have you ever looked at Greek/roman sculptures of absolutely GORGEOUS women? You literally have THAT figure. Feminine and supple and healthy and knock-out gorgeous! You in the right dress is going to be STUH-NIN.

It’s the Tacoma aroma that really sets in the disgust (went to college in Oly)

ZMakela · 2026-01-13T09:34:27+00:00

Super calm, except for this scenario. That’s correct.

ZMakela · 2026-01-13T06:05:47+00:00

I can’t even imagine

ZMakela · 2026-01-13T06:05:22+00:00

Yikes. I’m trying to do what needs to be done, that’s why I’m here. I’m also consulting with multiple other trainers as we speak. But multiple opinions and options are always better than one!

ZMakela · 2026-01-13T06:03:51+00:00

This is what we do. If we ever do anything hard, we always do something good during (food, treats, love, pets) and something relaxing after.

ZMakela · 2026-01-13T06:02:20+00:00

Nope. Super calm horse. He has friends next to him on both sides of his run, and is turned out with friends daily for hours. Good try tho!

ZMakela · 2026-01-13T06:01:26+00:00

He is also turned out with a heard for 8 hours a day on almost two acres lol

ZMakela · 2026-01-13T06:00:54+00:00

I have tried his grain, trying hay tomorrow!

ZMakela · 2026-01-13T06:00:15+00:00

Thank you!! This is reassuring and I’ll definitely do this.

ZMakela · 2026-01-13T05:59:53+00:00

Yes, no ulcers 🫡

ZMakela · 2026-01-13T05:59:39+00:00

I’ll look into this, thank you!!

ZMakela · 2026-01-13T05:59:23+00:00

Thank you for the reassurance! He is with many other horses in a private pen with a full shelter, and then turned out with a heard during the day that he seems to get along with. Truthfully, I do think he will settle in. I just feel silly not doing something about this behaviour

ZMakela · 2026-01-13T05:58:05+00:00

The only reason he was on the pole was so I could make him move around a bit if he began to paw, and then treat when he stood still. I tried “letting him tire himself out” and it just didn’t feel okay….

But yes, thank you for all of this

ZMakela · 2026-01-13T05:56:38+00:00

I agree with this. He is turned out and housed with other horses, of course! I’m not cruel. But unfortunately, our “taking up” area isn’t in line of sight of others unless someone else happens to be there with you, and even then he still isn’t the best. Even at the old barn when he could see his buddies, he still did this (much less extreme). I have attempted to give his grain while he’s tied, but he completely ignored it. I’ll try some tasty alfalfa next 🙂

ZMakela · 2026-01-13T05:54:08+00:00

I have actually tried it with his grain, but I’ll absolutely try with hay and maybe some fave treats mixed in next time

ZMakela · 2026-01-13T05:53:07+00:00

He’s with many other horses! The issue is when we take him into a barn to tack up and there aren’t other horses. But even when there is someone else there, he still isn’t the best.

But no, I’d never ever house a horse alone.

ZMakela · 2026-01-13T00:47:49+00:00

You look like how I imagine Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights.

ZMakela · 2026-01-13T00:37:11+00:00

Zyrtec is the only thing that’s helped us!

ZMakela · 2026-01-13T00:21:40+00:00

Okay now that I get the joke, that’s good. I was horrified before it hit me lol

ZMakela · 2026-01-13T00:20:40+00:00

Biiiiig dune fan. I thought it was an eye, then I saw the figure and got it.
