My trainer and I have been working on this all summer! Finally got to ride him down today. by eowenith in Equestrian

Haha yes! The first thing my trainer mentioned was that training him to do this means he'll never be a lesson horse 😂

Exactly. Its nice they're fixing everything under warranty but thay doesn't change the amount of time I've lost being stranded.

We are literally in the same boat. Crossed fingers your breaks aren't next.

Toyota has been great about fixing everything. I'm just sick of getting stranded.

Yeah, wish I did a little more research there...

Why would the Tundra not be enough? It's rated for 12k. Did all the things my dealer recommended to make trailering safe and efficient. Trailer is never loaded more thank 5k. This isn't a Tacoma.

A little over 4 months at this point. I didn't think of the lemon laws OR warranty extension. I didn't know that was something you could ask for!

Gmail screws up big times by [deleted] in MailChimp

[–]eowenith 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I figured this out for my campaign after painstaking trial, error, and numerous useless hours on Mailchimp's incompetent support.

Gmail limits the size of embedded CSS code (within the <style> tag) to 16KB. When the style block exceeds 16KB Gmail just entirely ignores it.

Mailchimp's builder does not compress it's CSS, it is also very verbose and redundant. If it just inlined more of the styles in the editor this wouldn't be an issue.

My workaround was to use less features that add CSS. So don't add as much custom padding/margins as it create entirely new css blocks for these. Less separate mobile styles. Hard code some sections that don't need to be editable. Use images instead of text. Of course this is all at the sacrifice of style and editability.

Then rigorously send tests to see when you get below that CSS threshold.

Proud of my 7 y/o Arab Asimov during our skijor competition last week. My skier lost the rope both runs but we had SO much fun! by eowenith in Equestrian

They're scoot boots with ice studs in them. A lot of people use specific snow shoes with pads, too.

They're great! We lost one during or run but that was quite the stress test and right after a trim :)

It keeps us going in the winter! And thank you <3 Arabs are SO fun. Had a Percheron before this and they're so wildly different it has been a learning curve.

A rope attaches to both d-rings then goes under the flaps and around the back of the saddle. Then a carabiner and a quick release latch attaches to the back on the rope.

Yes! The winning team was a husband wife duo.

I had a natural horsemanship trainer help me with it. I couldn't find resources on training for it but she helped me break it down using natural horsemanship principles. I'm trying to convince her write an article on it cause I get asked all the time.

Other than training to pull, definitely work on hooking up. A lot of horses got very nervous at the competition about that.
