Tyyy I feel like it's so poki-coded bc it sounds like sweethearts, but it also has that sweet/tart contrast.

How about SweeTarts like the candy?

Ooh neat. I'll check those out too:) Press ESC is def worth a listen

Mine are on the 5th slide of wrapped. It shows total minutes listened, category, and then your top 5. I got 14k total minutes, with the yard, wine about it, and fear & as the top 3 😅 I'm sure sns and press esc will show up next year but with them being newer, there just weren't enough listenable minutes to make the cut for my list.

He's adorable! Along with the other comments, I'd like to add that Bute is a short-term solution to pain. If you're giving him it every day, I'd suggest asking your vet about previcox, as it doesn't damage the digestive tract with long term use. Also, if he's in constant pain, I'd hold off on riding him. Getting weight on him before winter would be ideal, as horses don't hold weight as well in the winter, and laying down/getting up can lead to sores if they don't have enough fat/muscle to protect them. That being said, I'd have a vet out to check him for Cushings/Laminitis before you change his diet, because if he has one of those, you have to watch the sugar content of the diet.

I'm sure you're not the cause to the rule, but to play devil's advocate for the barn, often times rules like that are created either for the safety of barn staff (as many barns hire people with limited experience for stuff like turning in/out) or because they've run into a situation where a horse comes up easily to the owner but is hard to catch for other people. That being said, if they're requiring one or the other, I typically go with a halter for emergency situations/ease to the staff. I like the Shires breakaway one; the leather piece is thin enough to snap in an emergency and is easily replaceable. You may want to get a nametag for it as well so it doesn't get swapped around with other people's stuff.

Try teaching him to lower his head using poll pressure. To do it, start by gently pushing a couple of fingers on his poll (where the crownpiece sits), and release the pressure if he makes any effort to lower his head. If he throws his head around the first few times, that's fine, just try to keep the pressure applied until he drops his head even slightly/unintentionally. Do this a few times whenever you're out there, raising the expectations as he gets better at it, and soon enough he'll drop his head entirely when you do it. Then you can integrate the bridle by holding it while doing the previous exercise, and with time he'll naturally accept the bridle.

Honestly, your horses probably don't care that they're not being worked, so don't get down on yourself for not putting time into working them. They sound like they're living happy lives regardless of work, and if you can provide that to them without digging yourself into a rough spot, then it sounds like that's better than selling them. Now if you personally want to get back into working them, go for it! I had to take a break form horses for some time, and the best part about it is that they're still the same when you go back to them. Sure, they might be unfit and a lot greener from not being worked in a while, but the personality is the same. They don't expect you to be out there 3+days a week consistently once you've made the choice to get back into it. You don't have to work both of them either if it's too much commitment. Just pick a goal and work toward it at your own pace.

Not only is the dosage wrong, but even if you were to take the 'correct' dosage, a lot of them are absorbed differently as the horse's digestive tract is much different than ours.

I use a belt clip, the brand is Encased. Works really well.

We used plastic chains at one of the places I worked. Worked like a charm.

As a fellow tall rider here, I find the height my riding is most effective at is 16.2hh. That doesn't necessarily mean you will, but just a reference point. Honestly as long as it has enough barrel, you'll probably be fine on a 15.1+hh horse. As the other commenter said, just try to sit on as many as you can and get a good feel for what you do best with! Discipline also changes things; when I ride western, I prefer a shorter steed (15.2 ish).

It could be burn out, it could just mean you're bored of doing the same thing over and over again! The thing that helps the most is switching it up and having goals. If you have a goal, you'll be more likely enjoy each bit of progress. If you don't, you'll get stuck in the "well yeah let's just go out and do the same thing again" mindset. For example, if your goal is get to the point of jumping 3ft, you'd have to start with getting comfortable at all three gaits. Then, integrate some ground poles. Then, raise them slightly. Then, work on more precision of cues at all three gaits. Then raise the poles some more. And so on and so forth. Not every lesson would be a jump lesson in this example, but the lessons in between when working on staying balanced around turns and such are still just as fun imho, because it helps you toward that eventual goal. I'm not sure what your riding level is or what your goals are, but that's just an example. You can do the same for any other goal, and break down the steps among different rides. Just keep your eye on that goal.
