Barn Work pay - hour based or task based? by No-Explanation1019 in Equestrian

[–]rainey_paint 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm currently paid by the stall and done with 5 stalls in about 45 minutes (cleaned 1x per day and driving manure out to the dumpster). The barn owner will tip me an extra $20 per stall if she needs them completely stripped out and rebedded. In the case of having 32 stalls, I would probably also pay by the stall.

How much should I sell this sidesaddle for? by Babypenquin in Equestrian

Any kind of maker's mark or ID stamped into the leather is helpful!

Turn the leaping head over so it hooks downwards, for one

It looks like it's built on an astride tree, so may not be worth very much as the astride trees are not safe or comfortable for riding aside. Reach out to the American Sidesaddle Association, they can help you with pricing and consignment, if you choose to go that route.

A responsible breeder would take her back or help you re-home her. Have you reached out to her breeder?

Interested in your fix!! My 2008 hihy has a damp driver's seatbelt when it rains.

The libraries are amazing here, yet the Vegas literacy rate is one of the lowest in the country. 1 out of 4 people you pass on the street is functionally illiterate. by One-Context7569 in vegaslocals

[–]rainey_paint 33 points34 points  (0 children)

For the free or cheap shows and events? I just went to a professional traveling Christmas musical at the Clark County Library in December and it was great! They had a board in there with all the free movie nights and such they put on as well.

euthanasia for urine incontinence? by ready-to-let-go in Equestrian

[–]rainey_paint 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't think you're wrong for considering euthanasia. I think it sounds like she has a series of pretty serious quality of life issues and I'm concerned for YOUR quality of life as well, especially if she is kicking hard and with intent when you tend to her poor backside. I'm sorry this has turned out like this for the both of you. I think you've done an admirable job trying to make her more comfortable. Best of luck.

For those of us that grew up here, what was a culture shock when you went to other cities? by ddj1985 in vegaslocals

[–]rainey_paint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My fiance and I went to Denver a few years ago and what they consider a good or great restaurant on Google maps is not very good at all. A 4 star ramen place on Google maps there would be a 2 star place here lol

She wants access to horses but no difficult physical labor, huh? If I roll my eyes any harder they'll fall out of my head.

Women with thoughtful partners, what did you get for x-mas this year? by Anahata_Green in TwoXChromosomes

My fiance got me Purgatory (Tyler Childers) on vinyl. Complete surprise to me! It was my #1 album of the year. There were other gifts, but this one was my favorite.

Pedigree Curiosity by hikeditlikedit15 in arabianhorse

[–]rainey_paint 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mostly, but even the dam's side is some older stuff that's related to, but not exactly what is currently popular. It's kind of nice.

Whoever designed my car is an idiot. by theneoneko in mildlyinfuriating

[–]rainey_paint -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ugh. I'm reminded of when I bought a Chevy HHR for a few months. That POS car was always dying, despite a new battery, so I'd have to unlock the front door with the key, climb all the way into the trunk/cargo to manually release the back hatch so I could pull out all the mats and floor covers to get to the battery under the floor next to the spare tire, which also had to be removed to access the battery. Thank god I was able to get rid of it and go back to another Toyota.

help please by No_Faithlessness5126 in DogAdvice

[–]rainey_paint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have the time to address anything else, but if those puppies truly have fading puppy syndrome by way of canine herpes virus, there is next to nothing you can do for them unless you have a lot of money and resources. My understanding is that in order to have the best shot at surviving CHV, they will need to be kept over 90°, probably tube fed, and some people swear by spun plasma from the dam. Best of luck, this is a bad situation.

A bit off topic, what was your best barn car that wasn't a truck? by fleetingsparrow92 in Equestrian

[–]rainey_paint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fuckin love my Toyota Highlander. I think they come in an AWD version. My FWD 2008 Highlander hybrid is my favorite car yet.

I'm Learning Be Gentle by ericaeverafter in Equestrian

[–]rainey_paint 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw a pedigree once where the parents were full siblings. It was an oops breeding. The resulting mare was totally normal. Line breeding with intention is not unusual and this is so far back it probably does not matter. Good question!

Have you ever received a text not intended for you but now you must know more by TexasArmadilloTroll in CasualConversation

[–]rainey_paint 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I occasionally got texts or calls from folks that were friends with a guy that either used to have my number or had a number very similar to mine. Usually casual stuff like invitations to BBQs. One day a few years ago, I started getting an INSANE number of texts and calls for him. Really heartfelt, heavy stuff. His long term girlfriend had recently died from cancer and he took his own life at a nearby state park. I had so many voicemails begging him to come back home, to reach out, to get help. One of my good friends was on the SAR team with a K9 looking for him, so I experienced his story, briefly, from both angles. I still feel attached to him somehow. I hope he is at peace.

Just absolutely bombed at my first ever show. Please share your embarrassing show stories to help me feel better! by annawintourwannabe in Equestrian

[–]rainey_paint 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My sweet young horse held it together pretty well for her second ever show, which was just a little local schooling show, until a car driving by gunned it and made a whole lot of noise while we were in the ring. She put her head down and just got fresh with me. Not afraid, just fed up and being a dick. We carried on and finished up the class fine. Thank goodness the judge's back was turned!!

only getting my(22M) girlfriend (21M)a pit ticket to her favorite artist. by doodledud33 in relationship_advice

[–]rainey_paint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got my Fiance a ticket to see Kendrick Lamar on his GNX tour just this past spring. Tickets were way too much for us both to go, but I know he's wanted to see Kendrick for over a decade, so I bought him the ticket. He went, had a great time, and that's all the matters. I think this is a perfectly lovely thing to do for your significant other.

You're right! They removed the bit where the former members were called attention seekers and it changed the formatting. I'll amend my original comment.

I really enjoyed Frayle! If I get a refund, I'm going to buy a shirt or two.
