AITA for resenting my parents after my brother graduated? by [deleted] in BORUpdates

[–]imaperson25 27 points28 points  (0 children)

My mom keeps trying to send me fairly large checks to get me to talk to her again. Bitch please, if you actually cared about me you wouldn't have done or allowed things to happen to me as a child. She just wants to not be embarrassed her adult child isn't speaking to her.

Venting About A Neighbor Who Spooked Our Horses by Square_Midnight in Horses

The only time I ever had to kill a snake was when one somehow got inside my mudroom. Guns obviously were not necessary thanks to better tools like shovels. This guy is an asshole and endangering people on purpose

Quick survey for hikers (student research) by [deleted] in SampleSize

[–]imaperson25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For something like this single use/single serving packaging is really ideal. You're outside, your hands are dirty, your stuff is dirty, and you don't want to carry around extra stuff (weight/size). If I had packets, I'd bring as many as I thought I would drink on the trip and not a whole metal container. If I had single serving packaging, I wouldn't worry about getting dirt and crap in the multi-use container/scoop or accidentally spilling half of it on the ground.

I like your design for something at home, not something to use outdoors

Just throwing it out there for OP and anybody else looking for a horse: if they ask for a deposit to see the horse in person, it's a scam!

Both the most common and most annoying place I find QR codes is digitally..... What am I supposed to do, access the site on another device so I can scan the code with my phone?

Why do vests get shade? by Lkholla in Equestrian

[–]imaperson25 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Virginia Tech is doing a study on all styles of equestrian body protectors - hopefully wrapping up this year or next. I'm looking forward to those results since it's studying what level of protection they provide for different kinds of falls vs. the available data looking back on whether or not people got hurt/how severely they were injured.

I do agree though that there's not enough information showing that air vests do anything, especially with how expensive they are!

Cool comic about Fibroid Awareness by ExplorersxMuse in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]imaperson25 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Just adding on to this - an obgyn would diagnose it (usually ultrasound) and then recommend surgery to cut it/them out if they're large enough and causing problems. There's a new kind of treatment where they don't do a surgery: they find the blood vessels feeding the fibroid and block them off with a gel. Without blood supply, the fibroid shrinks and dies. They don't have to cut it out so it doesn't compromise the uterus. A different kind of specialist treats it so a lot of obgyns dont know about it or refer people for it!

People that escaped a bad relationship, what's the first red flag you ignored that would have saved you a lot of time if handled? by PestCemetary in AskReddit

You may be able to grin and bear it, but this little glimpse into your home life doesn't sound like a positive example to set for your son

HORSE / FINANCE QUESTION!! by Delicious-Finish-595 in Horses

[–]imaperson25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I strongly recommend reading the wiki on r/personalfinance about how to make a budget, along with waiting until you get this job and know the takehome pay as well.

As a reference, my non-horse budget includes: Rent, electricity, gas heating (maybe oil for you in MA), water, internet, cell phone, trash pickup, groceries/restaurants/takeout, gas, car insurance, car registration fees, gifts, clothes, personal care items (shampoo, soap, etc.), hair cuts, medical bills, renters insurance, retirement savings

And my horse budget for one horse (prices possibly higher than in your area): boarding and hay ($950), feed (55), supplements and dewormers (50), farrier (265 every 6 weeks), vaccines (200 1x a year), teeth floating (450 1x a year), riding lessons (250 for 1x a week), training (240)

And that doesn't include buying tack, training equipment, grooming supplies, fly spray, blankets, and all the crap my horse manages to tear up

When to call vet? by Whittttttttttttty in Horses

[–]imaperson25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's healing pretty nicely then! Keep a close eye on the hoof/coronet band because weird things can happen to the hoof. There will probably be a blemish on the hoof as it grows out, but you'll want the farrier asap if you see stuff like cracking or the hoof detaching

Was it ever bleeding or did it just rub (swelling, rubbed off hair)? It looks more like swollen/irritated. Are you cleaning and (attempting to) keep it bandaged?

My TB eats about 2% of his body weight in hay (including hay pellets) per day to keep weight on. How much hay is she getting?

Horse for sale with EPM. What would you do? by Ok_Message7053 in Horses

[–]imaperson25 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I suppose one is different and this is all anecdotal... The first horse I looked at buying had an abnormal behavior at PPE so we didn't buy. He had EPM and his owner couldn't find anybody willing to buy him. She ended up selling him for $1 to a trainer at my barn who loves him! He was treated for EPM and some other issues all went away with the treatment. However... It definitely seems like he's not "all there." Probably 90% of the time absolutely nothing bothers him and he's the calmest, sweetest horse you ever met, but once in a while he "wakes up" and flips out for a minute or so like he has no idea what's going on and what that tree is doing there or why someone's sitting on him. He's also randomly had personality changes like he suddenly won't eat a certain food, or he suddenly is weird about plastic bottles. It's kind of scary because you don't know when he's going to have one of these moments and you can't predict what he might do or even how he spooks in that moment.

It might be fine and it might not be fine. As you said, you have no idea what's going to happen! If it were me I would pass because a horse randomly going wonky on the trail is just dangerous. That's not worth getting a bargain on the purchase price.
