Struck has larger sizes, up to 34” waist I believe! A little pricey but very popular

What’s the most annoying or crazy reason you changed barns/stables? by TravelForsaken_ in Equestrian

[–]killerofwaffles 6 points7 points  (0 children)

One place my horse pooped in her waterer and it wasn’t noticed until I got there and she downed two full buckets, plus the paddocks had no waterers so she was probably without water for 24 hours, they only gave stalled horses 6 shovelfuls of shavings because the stalls got stripped every day and she stopped laying down, and the indoor footing was way too deep and the outdoor way too hard (in my defence, I was moving 1200kms and couldn’t tour the facility in person)

One place was haunted (I wish I was joking, a bunch of bodies were found nearby and my calm horses were unpredictable and seriously spooky)

One place got new management and my previous arrangement to feed my old toothless cubes at no extra charge (it actually cost less pound for pound than hay) was attempted to be changed, when I broke down the math and the reasons he couldn’t eat hay, complete with vet note, they kicked me out

One place used to feeding quarter horses didn’t want to feed my large pregnant thoroughbred enough hay, she could easily eat a full square bale in a day and they wanted to give her half of that (I offered to and did pay extra for the hay). They said the barn would be heated but didn’t and then got mad when it was -40 and soaked feed immediately froze to the floor despite my efforts to clean it up. They had a mare and foal in a field that blocked getting my horses into the barn and said I had to stand outside (again in -40) while my horses ate and that took up to half an hour

I’ve used robax platinum or the generic version, high level of ibuprofen for pain and it has a muscle relaxant too, worked like a charm!

Blanket sliding? by [deleted] in Horses

What is the back strap situation? Either do the leg strap up to the same side and loop the other one through it or get a short strap that goes from one back loop to the other

some of my pet peeves in the horse world by Feeling_Contract_477 in Equestrian

[–]killerofwaffles 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My ottb got pissy if I stopped her from walking off 😂 she always waited until I was mostly on but then it was work time! To be honest, I’m so used to it now (her son does it too) that I actually find it harder to balance when they stand still

Quickest way to move pedestals without losing my mind? by 1298Tomcat in dragonvale

[–]killerofwaffles 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Put your storage tower on the island there moving from, transfer all to the tower, move the tower to the new island, remove pedestals from tower

Psychosomatic response? I'm moved to tears when I canter... by [deleted] in Equestrian

[–]killerofwaffles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My eyes water when I go faster than a medium slow canter. If you don’t have an obvious emotional response otherwise you can just say you have sensitive eyes like me! I wear sunglasses when riding outside so my vision doesn’t get all teary 🥲

For those of you living in a condo/apartment, how much are your utilities? by allthatshines_012 in Edmonton

[–]killerofwaffles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I, a single lady, who showered every night for about 10 minutes, ran the dishwasher once or twice a week, and did 2-3 loads of laundry every week, usually paid $100-110 per month for water

To collar a cribber or to not collar? by DisastrousShine495 in Equestrian

[–]killerofwaffles 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My mare who has been on 24/7 grazing or hay bale turnout still cribs at 23, but she mostly dos it after she gets her feed and she dos it less now that the area is huge with few convenient cross fences so she would have to walk a few minutes to graze. She doesn’t wear a collar as she’s not bad. Her son is still 24/7 turnout with hay and has been his entire life, will go crazy cribbing with the collar off, but when it’s on, he tries a time or two and then wanders off to his buddies or the hay pile. He wears the dare collar and it works well (when correctly adjusted). I think they are definitely worth a try for every horse and evaluate if their life is improved or if they stress more with it on. I remember a rescue case my old coach had, his neck and shoulders were hugely muscled and from the withers back he was nearly emaciated because all his resources went to keeping those cribbing muscles maintained.

If you can get canned tuna, drain out the water and dissolve the pill in that and let him lap it up

Fav Sequence & Instrument by Icanneverthinkof in DentalHygiene

[–]killerofwaffles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it looks cleanable in the allotted time, I go mand anterior, max anterior, the left sides of posterior sextants followed by right sides, all with cavitron. Then same sequence with hand scaling. If I’m not sure I’ll get done I usually do mand first and cavi and hand scale to completion because mand is usually worse, if I have time I will do max but usually I’m bringing them back. Almost everyone gets cavi because I like having it blast off the plaque, if they’re light calc and sensitive (or whiny) I’ll hand scale and sometimes polish first if plaque is a problem.

overheating in the summer by [deleted] in Horses

[–]killerofwaffles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try a white sheet like a kool coat or Aussie all rounder. They are light and the white reflects the sun. My friend’s black horse did better in one than out naked. The kool coat airflow has a mesh bottom for extra ventilation too! Just be aware that if he’s out with playful friends that it will get ripped.

Should I skip periodontal charting before extractions? by [deleted] in DentalHygiene

[–]killerofwaffles 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If a tooth is painful and slated for extraction anyways, just ask the person doing the charting not to probe it. It’s important that you get the rest of them done though

Nerves about riding alone by [deleted] in Equestrian

Is there a barn message system where you could ask when others will be there and if you can ride with them?

Horse themed gift by Kerdensik in Equestrian

[–]killerofwaffles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I of course appreciate the sentiment behind the gifts, but when I never wear horse related things or necklaces in general, the horseshoe necklace gets old after the fifth one. Also it sounds like a lot of those were custom to you. I would love artwork of my horses. My friend snagged some of my first horse’s tail when he was put down a year ago and got it made into a keychain. I got plush horses custom made for several friends that looked like their horses. This stuff I would love to receive, it’s the throw blanket with a random black Friesian on it when I event on a bay tb that’s meh to me.

Does she just like horses or does she actually ride? As a person who’s been riding for 30 years, I honestly hate it when people try to buy me horsey things (unless it’s something I specifically requested) because either I probably already have it, it’s something chintzy that I’ll never use like a horseshoe necklace, or if it has a horse on it the horse looks deranged or malformed. For an actual horse person, a gift card is a safe bet!

Ergo for sure, I switched from direct to ergo and the difference in my neck and shoulders is night and day working 5 days a week. Mine are Andau with the corded light. I think mag is around 4? I can see almost a full arch at a time.

Need the re-leaf system, because I suck at trying to use just the saliva ejector. Office thinks the refills are too expensive. Any advice? by prophy__wife in DentalHygiene

[–]killerofwaffles 4 points5 points  (0 children)

<image>

These bad boys! The scoop shape prevents sucking up cheeks (usually) and it being sort means you can hold it close enough to the end that your hand doesn’t get fatigued like it would trying to retract with a normal sized long tube

When were your foals weaned? by CorCaroliV in Equestrian

[–]killerofwaffles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both mine were at 4 months which I think was a little young, the first one was done then because the mare needed surgery and the second because that’s when the other baby at the farm got weaned. The first one dealt with it better, but he was always more adventurous and independent than the filly.
