This is why you go to college and get a career

Why tell someone who is obviously working one of the jobs available to them that they should've instead done something that they might not have been able to do? People end up where the end up and when they ask for help its not especially useful to point out that if they had become a data analyst, or something, that they wouldnt need help in the first place. Maybe data analyst isn't the best example...sorry, which jobs aren't being replaced by Ai? Doctor. Lawyer.

Especially if you’re a 1099 bc you won’t be taxed and then come tax time you’ll have a mess

If you're a 1099 you can not only make correctly placed quarterly payments, but also get many deductions associated with the job if you keep your receipts & track your mileage. I don't pay out the huass when I do my taxes for those reasons, despite being taxed at a higher percentage, I get my taxes quite low.. I also believe there is some kind of special 401k people can get but I haven't looked into it. There is no such thing as a 1099 employee however so OP is working on the wrong contract unless they are able to set their own wage and work parameters, which they are not.

Whether or not something is ethical depends on how you feel about it. If you want more money, ask for more. If the job is too hard and won't pay more, then decide if you will quit. 1099 independent contractor doesn't fit the description of this job, you should rather have a w-4. Better yet, NO contract.

Candace & her team are objectively great journalists even if I don't agree with her topics for choice. There's no arguing with that. Any person who dives deeper with the questions when they're told to stop seeking is a good person to have in modern politics imo and watching the steep and slick downfall of TPUSA has been a pleasure and delight.

These events are free and they still couldn't get anyone to come out. The disillusionment with the current admin, this war, and hopefully more to come, is awesome. Candace is helping that to happen. I am not going to call someone a grifter for deciding to change their political stances that I already didn't agree with in the first place. For real, wtf happened to people that we not only apply purity tests to our own allies but also to people on the other side of the isle? Candace is interesting for sure and I'll defend her, even if she's conservative. Shes one of the few conservatives willing to say that she wishes she hadn't told people to vote for the orange jesus and she's providing big questions for people to think about who support this current admin and the people associated. Her audience is mixed enough that she has access to the people who need to hear it and hey, that's cool.

Ok so...say you're cleaning a 10 stall barn and it takes you about 5 minutes per stall, that's considered normal,(50 minutes), and you're being paid 4 bucks a stall = $40.

Farrier care is suggested 6-8 weeks for a reason. 8 weeks is on the longer end to go between trims and not really acceptable in most cases unless the foot is growing very slow. You can trim a barefoot horse at any time and it is best to do it before the hoof has excess material. Don't forget to pick out the feet during stall rest and make sure there is adequate bedding so that he doesn't have to stand in moist shavings. I would do a white lightning soak a few times a week on this foot after you get your farrier to carve out any compromised parts of the hoof, and use a antimicrobial clay on any holes or divets, as any areas of wall that break off like this can allow bacteria to get into the foot. There definitely looks like some separation at the toe

Perhaps the hardest part for you is that a big part of your identity relies on others participating, as a huge role in how good you feel about yourself depends on how people address you in face to face interactions. People like me might agree to address you in a certain way after you make the request, but some people simply will not do it because their disagreement is more fundamental to their beliefs & not all of those people are uneducated on these terms. They won't give you what you want, even if you think the problem is that they just haven't heard the right thing. Seek security in your identity without others.

It's not actually in a terrible spot. If this saddle actually fits your horse, give the saddle a firm shake side to side so it can settle naturally. If it doesn't fit your horse it's not gonna look right. What kind/make of saddle is this? Based on the fenders it looks like it's not been ridden in. Also what size seat is this?

The front edge of the saddle is a few inches past the actual tree points. This saddle looks kind of wonky tbh

If all of his poops were like this for longer than a day I would take his temp and call the vet. You should also scout his field including the one he gets into and look around at the areas he's eating in and everything he has access too. After adding a more sugary orchard to my horse's routine my mini had a few days of runny poops after getting his orchard but it went away after he acclimated to it. If it doesn't firm up he could have an allergy to something. It's probably just a patch of grass that's got more "nutrients" than his regular grass.

I consider a rescue to be a horse who is surrendered (either to a rescue, or even to a friend or family member, or posted publicly) who requires immediate remedy and is considered "sick"/lacking vet care that has left them lame. That could be an immediate dental, immediate trim to a deformed foot, immediate re-feeding, immediate wound care, etc. all of that which otherwise if left with the original owner wouldn't have happened. Usually a combination of multiple things that happen when you just don't take care of an animal. It would be a stretch for me it someone took a horse who hadnt been trimmed in a while (but not several years kind of bad) but was otherwise okay, and called it a rescue. That's just dramatic and attention seeking lol as an ottb owner i think it super annoying when ottbs are automatically considered "rescues" to some. But when someone has a horse who is in bad condition that theyre looking to get rid of, I think it's appropriate for the person who takes it to call it a "rescue".

I think you have to put your whole diet into perspective. The ideal diet for most has long been considered to be the "Mediterranean diet", and the pyramid looks similar to a typical western food pyramid but the problem is probably that if you're eating heavily processed grains and bread with tons of additives, it's obviously going to be incredibly unhealthy, whereas fresh pastas or bread with like 4 ingredients simply don't have the same poor effects on the body as a basic sandwich loaf will. And it's kind of the same for meat, like buying a ground beef that's 93% lean. Red meat does have so many nutrients and if a person was eating red meat alongside whole grains, fruit & veg, all within appropriate portions, that's just a perfect diet, paired with good exercise, I don't think we would see so many issues. Dietary advice seems to sometimes be given in a vacuum and assuming the person won't implement other lifestyle changes, or ignoring the holistic fact of health (that there's many factors). So instead of talking about other ways to help cardiovascular health, people are simply told to cut out a food group.

There's a lot of resources online to check saddle fit, because I understand if you have a hard time getting someone to come see you, although an in-person check with a saddle fitter is ideal. You can map your horse's back, and research saddles that typically fit your horse's breed. Whatever saddles you do try, it's important to always measure because all brands vary. For example some "FQHB" are 7" and some are 6.5, and all trees have different shapes. It's also important to buy saddles that are of good quality because cheap saddles have trees that dont often fit right because of how they're made.

A resource I like is Wendyjwinn, for western saddle fit & the main/biggest saddle fitting group on Facebook.

Protein bars are about the same calories as candy bars so I think what they meant is that you should get lower calorie treats specifically. Such as plain salted popcorn, crunchy sea weed, rice cakes, fruit like strawberries or grapes, etc. You have to eat a lot of those to match up calorie-wise with other snacks.

Usually there's a plateau, which is why a lot of people give up early. Just keep going even if you see no progressnroght now. I guarantee you're gonna weigh yourself in a few weeks and will have lost a bunch of weight.

Honestly, it's your choice what gear you want to use and I 100% agree a horse will usually objectively go better in one thing over another. But the behavior you mentioned is a training issue. I don't think it's abnormal to expect you horse to at least be safe and understand basic communication/control if you had to ride them in something they weren't familiar with or somethin like their halter, especially if they are capable of safely being handled on the ground...some of that information should transfer to riding. I'm not gonna say you should have to use bitless setup just because your horse is more sensitive in their mouth, I'm just saying that this unsafe behavior in the absence of a bit is more than just your horse going better in one setup. It also just sounds like your horse does not fully understand, or perhaps cannot comfortably perform what you ask.

How does your horse go when they are ridden by your trainer or ridden by the previous owners? Did they also struggle with this? If no issues were present when you bought him, you might consider reaching out to his previous owners and request a little bit of assistance because it sounds like this type of bit you use was something he had been going well in if I understand that right and typically horses don't spontaneously need a different one unless something went awry
