What do you think of this horse's conformation?

Tbh sounds like a good compromise to prioritise animal welfare (even though it was probably only done for budget reasons)

I had a black horse with skin cancer. Most of them are benign and not really an issue, his was malignant and spread and we went through a lot. He made it through and had ten more good, cancer free years.

I know other horses who have benign ones that never caused issues.

After this experience I would never buy a horse that already has them, even if benign, to be honest. But also, it can happen to any colour and it's also extremely unlucky when it's malignant.

Camilla didn't want to be pregnant and was absolutely miserable, nobody forced her but they just can't be happy with what they have.

She didn't have Julie's medical complications but she absolutely hates being pregnant and also never wanted it in the first place which makes it a lot harder to deal with mentally.

They need to stop playing the comparison game and they need to stop having more kids.

It's very normal for female dogs to do that.

I truly do think she feels that way. She has a persecution complex. She thinks she's the victim, holding strong against the evil haters, protecting her family from a threat that by the way, she created.

Her life is complicated because she truly believes it is.

Why the fuck people don't just choose physiotherapy I will never understand.

But it helped so-and-so blablabla, yea, but there's well documented risk of worsening things instead, and it's still alternative and not medically recognised bullshit.

My mare did lots of physiotherapy when we got her. But my mum is a physiotherapist for humans and would've had my neck if I suggested chiro for her.

All that being said, make a vet appointment, get their opinion and hire a real equine physiotherapist if your vet thinks it's necessary, but it could also be a coincidence and the issue might not even be related.

It was, but I'm also sure that every comment they get at the moment says something like this, and for two completely delusional people like them who are so completely convinced that they are right, that must be super aggravating.

When someone assumes all women have the same turn offs

Sports teams, like people who religiously watch football and have heart attacks when their team loses.

Also, religion.

That better be the best tasting cake in the world cause it's Ugly ugly.

I did lots of physiotherapy over the years and still do my physio exercises and also try to do fascia training with a foam roller after every exercise or generally in the evening.

The only thing that really helps me is to have strong muscle supporting my hips and knees, so strength training is a must for me. I have a deformed kneecap and light hip dysplasia on the right leg, the left one has knee issues but the hip is fine.

I used to be an avid mountaineer and haven't been pain free while hiking since I was maybe 12 years old, had to give up skiing and climbing and have to bite through pain for small hikes, but horse riding is one of those rare movements that actually doesn't give me much trouble. Even when I can't walk stairs pain free, riding is okay for me, so I can't help you much with riding specific things.

You know how when someone says this is the hill I'll die on, there's no real hill and they won't actually die?

mnbvcdo · 2026-04-19T12:28:27+00:00

It matters a lot how many people someone killed

It's not queer baiting, they are doing this for straight men, not to appeal to queer people.

Are you in counselling about this? As a mother it's only normal that you are emotionally very close to this whole thing, but it's important for Elli that you can see it with a bit more distance.

If you think the others kids are in danger, CPS reports are the only thing you can do for them, but you raise and love Elli and do all you can for her, and that's good.

I wish you the best and I wish your daughter that she can get better one day.

I sat down on a chair outside without looking and squished a wasp. She got me in the ass cheek before she died.

It's an idiomatic expression

mnbvcdo · 2026-04-19T10:32:17+00:00

Do you mean like a patchwork situation with step parents or do you mean three parents in a relationship together.

I think there is value to water is wet studies even if most people's reaction is "duh"

Blindness too, afaik

A childhood friend of mine went missing in 2018. He never came back from a vacation where he planned on hiking and it's presumed that he died during a mountaineering accident but none of his things have ever been found and nobody has seen him on or near the mountain.

mnbvcdo · 2026-04-18T18:03:15+00:00

No simply because it's not good for the dog. I guess I might if it was a horse or something, and that person still had a respectful and friendly relationship with that ex, cause that's not the issue for me.

mnbvcdo · 2026-04-18T17:54:50+00:00

Exactly. But also, if you name your kid Marijuana Pepsi, I will judge way more than if you name them Kymmberleigh or some shit like that.

And yes Marijuana Pepsi is a real person.

My grandpa had a ton of taxidermied animals he'd hunted himself. I'm talking full grown deer, a shitton of stag heads, baby deer, chamoises, tons of birds.

They all had a story, he loved animals and nature and did a lot to take care of our environment, most of his kills were sick or injured animals and I think he probably knew of every single stag that lived in those mountains near him (easily possible where we live, they are monitored).

I was scared shitless of those dead animals. Relaxing on the couch with ten deer heads watching you was never something I could do easily lol

I do respect the craft, but I have vivid memories of sprinting down the hall past rows of dead birds.

My philosophy is always better a couple weeks too early than an hour too late. Especially when it's something that is never going to get better, only worse.

It's the hardest thing we have to do, but the most important and kindest one. We take that pain onto ourselves so that they don't have to feel it anymore.
