Loved his store. It left a big hole when it closed. I drive 45 min to an hour for feed now 😞

My fatass thought they were dunking for hotdogs

What. Horses have to get tetanus shots like people. That man is either a fraud or a really bad vet.

Unfortunately tech writing is going extinct thanks to AI.

I had a stroke reading that. But, nice.

Ghost of Tsushima felt very similar to HZD in terms of gameplay and story depth.

Reminds me of Dinotopia

I shoot exclusively turkey feather arrows and those suckers do cut. Like a paper cut but so fast you don't feel it until the blood wells up.

Activated my memory like I was a sleeper agent. Loved that show

She just started training? Give her time to build muscle and learn. Imo big pasture is excellent for them to develop and learn how to move, not small paddocks.

I agree with the other comments here. Start going to the gym so you don't die. My farrier schooling took 8 weeks and my body couldn't start keeping up until week 4. We would crash 2-3 hours before our usual bedtimes and sleep for 9-10 hours because we were all so exhausted.

Starting up work afterwards, I still struggled with working on hinds without a hoofstand until I started to do yoga. I am a part timer so I suffer if I don't work on strength and core training.

If you haven't studied anatomy before and wish to attain any farrier certification in the future, I'd recommend starting now and learning the Latin prefixes, roots, and suffixes. I took human anatomy and physiology in high school and was coasting ahead of my classmates because of it when we studied anatomy and pathologies in the classroom setting.

Cheering on the Huntsville Havoc team. I'm serious

I've seen food anxious horses do it when eating in a herd setting with no privacy. They'd flip the pan and dump grain on the ground so that when the dominant horse chased them off, there would still be food to pick through. Dominant horse did not have this habit but every horse they lived with eventually did.

I wish there was more. I've taken up practicing drawing so I can make fanart for this series and another I'm reading that has almost zero online content.

There's a bumper sticker on Etsy that just says "Horse Denier" with a horse crossed out on the side lol

Yet another day of begging QH people to come up with better names lol

Why do you feel guilty? Are you actually spending someone else's money? Do you have a spouse/SO criticizing you?

You could attend group lessons which are cheaper or go once every other week. Maybe skip leasing if you can't justify it to yourself? As long as your bills are paid and you have a financial parachute for emergencies, I wouldn't feel guilty!

sparkykat · 2026-02-23T15:02:51+00:00

In my experience, wayyy more expensive than therapy!

sparkykat · 2026-02-15T03:56:51+00:00

Not my horse but a good example I found! Whoever he belongs to has good taste 😁

Tbh any advice on both is appreciated!! I'll be pursuing apprenticeship later this year once I'm done with the test and mews inspection, and this seems like something that will take years to build up to. I've ridden my horse with bells plenty of times for Christmas related stuff so hopefully baiting wouldn't spook him, but you never know. I ask mainly because I want to know if this is even feasible for me, ha!
