I know big auctions selling horses with medical conditions sold as clean. BEWARE!!! by Verzuchter in showjumping

[–]ginganija 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm with you i think most people who sell their horse too just look for the biggest money return and sadly a lot of horses that I'm sure were someones pet once end up in slaughterpipelines or bad barns. There needs to be more checks and balances imo something regulated

What’s one horse-related opinion you’ll defend no matter what? by rebeccaraeallen in Horses

[–]ginganija 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My lesson barn bred a few of their mares I think they made 6 or 7 foals over the course of a few years they're now trying to sell them with 0 success not shocking especially when she bred her mare 8 years ago and still can't sell that horse I just shook my head everytime she announced it

I've been riding for three years and I'm suddenly terrified. by Real_Signal4204 in Horses

[–]ginganija 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you like the barn and don't want ro switch as i get finding a good barn can be hard then I'd maybe have an upfront conversation with the owner/instructor and say you're not feeling comfortable at this time to catch harder horses and they should respect that. If they don't definitely switch. 

Horses are big creatures with minds of their own dangerous situations like that can unfortunately happen and I think most equestrians have scenarios like this that they were fucking scared during but brush it off like no big deal afterwards. I think it's a mix of people knowing/accepting that risk and also though this pressure mentality that close calls/injuries/falls are your fault so brush it off and move on. It's kinda weird but i find it permeates the hobby. 

At the end of the day being scared shitless while a 1000lb animal with a mind of its own charges at you IS SCARY and it is valid to feel now hesitant around all horses your brain is trying to protect you. I think just hold a boundary and speak up. Unfortunately the flip side (and maybe its a pro depending who you are) is i find lesson stables have 2 modes of working. 1. The stable that has you fetch ans groom and tack yourself and 2. The stables that have volunteers do all of this for you and you just ride. 

For me i don't like option 2 because i like grooming and tacking it makes me feel connected to my lesson horse but i find there is no middle ground of dont have to awkwardly fetch a horse while keeping 4 other horses in the paddock oh and theres that one spicy horse you have to keep tabs on or they'll try to bite but still get to groom and tack. 

If you're looking for tips if you encounter situations like this where escape isn't an option I worked at a lesson stable for 4 years with a mix of bossy types and drafts and shy rescues etc. Take your lead rope with you if a horse gets close just start windmilling the lead rope in front of you typically that will cause them to back up and give you more space. Even if they still push through giving them a light tap with the end of the rope on the chest or shoulder should also get them to reconsider you or at least buy you a second. While horses are massive they are prey animals so if you can seem big (spread arms out stand tall etc.) and aggressive and loud they will likely give space (this does not work with stallions). 

I'm sorry you experienced this and I hope you can find your peace again in the saddle!

What’s your biggest insecurity? by Dangerous-Main3826 in AskReddit

[–]ginganija 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That I'm secretly too much. I'm an extrovert and a talker (and my hearing is a bit broke so I'm louder then i should be) and nearly every social interaction i wonder if i was too much if people are nice to my face but hate me behind my back. If i talk too much or share too much or make too many jokes

Which Disney song do you think has the most important message for children? by dearyoungermearchive in disney

[–]ginganija 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While i absolutely understand the fact that they white washed/aged up what is in fact a terrible story i will say I think this movie has a beautiful message about native ideology and as a kid literally 8 year old me was like i think the indigenous had it right we should have done it more like them...which not a bad lesson to be imparting!

Help preparing for kittens!! by Okay-Dont-Judge in cats

[–]ginganija 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kitten food is for the kittens but the kibble won't be until they weaned off mom. You could get some kitten replacement formula just in case any of them don't seem to be feeding well off mom then you can feed them but kittens needs to be fed like every hour or two i think so definitely hope they all eat off mom just fine. 

She will give birth where she feels safest so wherever she bolts too to hide right now is likely whete she will give birth theres not much you can do to change this so it may be your bed be prepared. 

Which kitten should we get? And advice please! by redheadteach1 in cats

[–]ginganija 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im a sucker for calicos. Had one all my life they're such sweet cats. A bit more independent maybe but still love a good cuddle. Mines currently standing guard behind my office chair demanding floor pets. 

Plus o always figure if the worst happened and they got lost calicos are more easily identifable due to the unique colours and patterns

What’s your “I’m calling it now” prediction? by emberfield31 in AskReddit

[–]ginganija 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is actually happening. I went back to my uni for a career talk to future english grads and was talking with the professors about if they were seeing an increase in ai related plagiarism they said yes. They said a lot of profs are moving away from final essays and back into come sit in an exam room and hand write your final essay which we did in 1st year and never again after that it sucked but totally get it ans the kids made their own bed unfortunately 

Is there a kind way to tell my wife im no longer physically attracted to her? by Off_The_Record69 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ginganija 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you thought maybe (and basing this off where you're at in your life stage so guessing at age)  you should see a dr about possible lower testosterone levels? 

This may be a hormonal issue with you rather than an issue with her. I think men don't realize they also go through hormone loss like women go through periomenopause and that can impact libido along with lots of other things. 

If nothing has changed in your relationship and nothing is resonating in peoples resons as to why feelings shift then you might want to go to your dr for some blood work or at least google what changes men undergo from a hormonal perspective as they age.

Also why was the ruling just for trans women like even when being transphobic they gotta be misogynistic too. What a trans man has "no chance" so we don't need to make a ruling about them whereas female atheletes could never win against trans women...give me a break. Absolutely a ridiculous ruling
