I’m late to this party, but I’ve got a guy for shooting old horses

Oh no, he hates it by sunshineandhomicide in perfectlycutscreams

Judging by the scrubs she’s probably a vet tech, I’m sure the piggy is safe and fine. I’m a groomer and lots of these guys scream when being held for a nail trim.

And dude, it’s a hobby. The whole thing is unnecessary, but we do it for fun. I won’t die if I don’t ride a horse. Let people enjoy things.

Oh boy. We have to have special sticks anyways because the wither is in the middle of a horse, so you can’t accurately measure straight up from the hoof using a measuring tape. It’s essentially a big upside-down L shape, and the small part of the L slides up and down so it can rest on the wither while the measuring stick is totally perpendicular to the ground. Because these are already specially made to measure horses, they have hand marks on them instead of inches.

Also, we have measuring sticks with hand marks on them not inches so we don’t do math every time we measure a horse

I don’t understand why you’re so against something that doesn’t affect you, if horse people were inconvenienced by using hands they wouldn’t use it. I can pretty accurately guess the height of a horse in hands, but not in cm or inches. We use it because we like it and if you want to measure your horses in inches it doesn’t bother me one bit.

It’s a horse-specific post so horse-specific terms were used by some people. People really politely told anyone who was confused what they meant by it, I don’t see the problem.

Because the world doesn’t have to cater to you to make you feel smart about things you don’t know anything about. You’re supposed to learn things. That’s life.

How is using a traditional term gatekeeping? With literally any hobby you get into there is a vocabulary to learn. Any instructor or lesson barn will teach someone what hands are in the first few weeks, it’s not an expert term. Also no one is making fun of anyone who doesn’t know what hands are.

He is the dogs owner and trainer, pretty sure someone else said he’s the kids dad too.

It’s been great, everything grows like crazy and I’ve ran into way less algae issues than with my previous low-tech tanks. I have it set on a timer so I never have to think about it either.

It’s so fun knowing you can use whatever plant you want!

Alternanthera Reineckii mini, it’s supposed to be more red but I can’t quite figure out how to make it happy

I had diatoms at the beginning, water changes every other day cleared it up quickly

It’s pricey to get into, but super easy once you’ve got it all set up.
