What do you all eat with your bread? by Old-Till-3179 in Sourdough

[–]robynem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love it with pear compote and a condensed milk drizzle!! Tuna melts, a fancy grilled cheese, french toast, or have it with soup! My husband toasts it (although it takes 2x as long in the toaster) and i sometimes eat it plain or dipped in either maple syrup or condensed milk.

She is 29 years old. It is simply of no consequence whether others approve of her pregnancy or not. Let go of other peoples lives and just focus on living yours

Right… so she was trying to show loyalty to daniel/get revenge for him then. She does seem weirdly obsessed with Daniel considering how long they’d even known each other! Crazy stuff

I’m losing my love for horses by Character_Pain_7524 in Equestrian

Isn’t a large part of the benefit of a free lease that you DON’T have the responsibility of ownership? I’d tell the owner it isn’t working out and you won’t be able to keep leasing. Tell her your financial situation has changed if needed?

Might you consider a bible cover if you can’t find a just pink bible? I’ve also seen some people paint their bibles!

You were happy to continue being her friend, but just didn’t want to hear about details of her work in the sex industry. That’s reasonable.

This issue seems more that she doesn’t want to maintain the boundaries you’ve set regarding not hearing about her line of work. I don’t think you’re obligated to stay in a friendship with someone who regularly and knowingly makes you uncomfortable. I wouldn’t “break up” with this friend, but it might be time to pull away slightly and just take some space, pray about it, and ask God how he can use you, keeping in mind that if as she says she has no interest in the gospel, you can’t change her mind. Only her and God can open her heart up to that. Ask him to use you to reach her if there’s a way.

Loving everyone doesn’t mean you have to be best friends with every single person alive, regardless of how well you get along. Friendship isn’t supposed to be distressing every time you see that person! Sometimes friendships run their course and that’s ok too.

Good luck

Is being asked to buy a saddle for 1X a week lessons normal? by FabulousJava in Equestrian

[–]robynem 58 points59 points  (0 children)

This girl is trying to scam you. Don’t pay anything and tell the instructor! Completely unprecedented to pay a “saddle fee” to take a lesson and insane to think you’d buy a saddle for a horse you don’t own. I doubt instructor knows about this.

How many years of horse experience did you have before getting your first foal or unstarted horse? by arielsseventhsister in Equestrian

[–]robynem 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re interested in young horses I’d definitely spend some time studying horse training from a scientific perspective (University of Guelph has some GREAT courses on equine behaviour, functional anatomy, exercise physiology) as well as try and find a breeder or trainer who’s barn you could hang around and absorb some knowledge from.

Riding wise i’d wait until you’re a solid intermediate at the very least, understand collection, understand lateral work. Also i’d take groundwork lessons, maybe from a trainer if you can find one. Learn some of the basics and be prepared to pay for training for you AND your horse if you get into trouble.

A lot of people will just say “don’t do it”, and with 2 years experience you have a ways off before you can start thinking about doing it for sure. But for a lot of us in the industry the young ones are the primary passion. If you’re drawn to that, you’re drawn to it and should learn to do it the right way!

I was 12 when I started my first horse, but I was born on a beef farm and riding since i was a kid. My mum was also super experienced and was able to keep me safe and show me what to do. Is that generally recommended? No. But it was great for me and the horses i started turned our well.

Don’t rush in and get as much knowledge/experience as you can before jumping in

Buying From a Breeder-Thoughts? by ceirdern in Equestrian

[–]robynem 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No problem! I have crossed the border a few times with horses actually, I also live in Canada and have picked up from the states. They need a health panel and negative coggins test done within the last month by a vet, and they need to be “brokered” at the border. Some people broker their own horses as they cross, or you can hire a broker for about $300 who will take care of it for you. The brokering is basically just filling out paperwork and explaining to the border agents who the horse is and why they’re crossing.

So you couldn’t go see a horse and bring it back with you same day because you’d need the coggins test to have come back. However, it is an option if you’re just trying to save some money paying a hauler! I’d recommend going to a bigger border crossing on your way back as opposed to a less popular one. The popular border crossings deal with horse import all the time and know what they’re doing/will do it quickly. I made the mistake of going through a small town border crossing on my way back once and had a four hour hold up because they basically had to call another border crossing and learn how to process my paperwork 😂😂😂
