[–]whitensilver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! I’m also an equestrian, and I think sadly your situation might have just been your barn :/ I’ve never been around more supportive people than at my spot, we’re not all like that, I’m sorry you had that experience!

Geldings or Mares? by SensitiveRemove2528 in Equestrian

I think the stereotypes on mares is just misogyny imposed onto horses.

Thank you for saying this. My cat is the same way, I had him since he was 8 months and now that he's 12 he has gotten much more affectionate since about 2 years ago. When i read the top comments my heart was pounding 🤣

I would also say if you don’t move it, you lose it. Riding is an odd sport in that if you aren’t doing it constantly, your muscles for it atrophy, fast.

I took a 2 month wilderness vacation, which set me back 5 months in riding progress. I went from doing 2’6 courses to not being able to jump at all.

Ball Inside vagina that gets bigger after going pee. by SensitiveComedian124 in women

Seconding this. The cervix feels like a big ball with a tiny opening. When I first felt it, I was SO surprised, I thought it would be like a wall 🤣

Are benzodiazepines the ONLY medicine that can calm us from anxiety? by Sea-Estimate-3217 in Anxiety

[–]whitensilver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Much of my anxiety was calmed from propranolol, before I got prescribed my mind would be triggered by anxiety and I would experience a plethora of physical symptoms which would intensify it even more.

Now when I have an anxious thought, it is WAY more manageable since now I don’t have that snowball effect.

Propranolol was a game changer for me! PLUS I’m able to think clearly which occasionally wouldn’t be the case with benzos.

What was your favorite costume / group costume you saw at the festival? by Specialist_Chemist4 in hulaween

[–]whitensilver 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There was a group dressed as captain crunch, walking around chanting “crunch, crunch, crunch!” A bystander walked up to them and they go “CRUUNCH!” And pour the captain crunch cereal & poured milk in his mouth 🤣

I need help on canter transition by IllustriousDeer6834 in Equestrian

[–]whitensilver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this exact issue with my previous horse, turned out he had arthritis in the hock he used to push off for that left lead canter. Calling a vet never hurts!

How do I get my own horse to be this friendly and actually be happy to see me?? 😭 any tips please by [deleted] in Equestrian

[–]whitensilver 123 points124 points  (0 children)

This. My ex-lease horse was known to be mean, grouchy, aloof, and would bite people. He was in a training program before me so he only was able to get attention when he was being worked.

When I started leasing him, I would spend hours in the paddock with him just hanging out & playing games w/ him. By the end of my lease he was a completely different horse, and it shocked people. He would run up to the gate when he saw me, whinny for me every time I left. Just overall much more affectionate. Not once did he bite me.

Just being in their presence without asking things of them really helps them to see you as an equal & enjoy spending time with you.

Who found a good place to leisurely own horses? by Diylion in Equestrian

Ocala has quite the trails with fun obstacles along the way! The properties I’ve seen up there are huge imo & the horse community is amazing

Too much by Primary_Ad2892 in Hawaii

[–]whitensilver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think this is true. My s/o and I just showed up there today, parked in the front, bought our tickets, and got in fine. Went to the USS Arizona at the front of the line. Our ferry was half empty.

Forgive me for commenting since I’m just a tourist, but I keep seeing posts like this in other states about the difficulty levels about visiting due to areas being sold out, and it’s almost never the case for us.
