No. No horse people. Down that path lies madness, even we know that. Suspect Bucket fucked around with this message at 02:55 on Mar 20, 2015 |

Angrymog posted:Today's lesson in horse was that the girth can always be done up one more hole. The most valuable lesson I ever learned from horse books. Do up the saddle and girth a pop or two loose high on the shoulders, then the bridle. THEN slide the saddle back, do the girth again. Adjust stirrups, check everything, lead to mounting block. Do girth again. Sit on horse and feel like a loving idiot. Thank you, pre-teen horse books. You taught me how to muck, groom and tack by association. Pity i'm such poo poo at the riding bit. But that's fine, I never have the opportunity to ride anyway! But I do get to muck and groom nowadays. Yay! Suspect Bucket fucked around with this message at 01:33 on Apr 3, 2015 |

Aquatic Giraffe posted:We got shot at by a hunter once because obviously an animal making noise in the woods = deer. Ooh! I know what they were thinking! "Hey, giant albino deer. Dem slants in chinkatown pay good money for white deer dick an gallblubber or whatever. SHOOTY SHOOTY BANG BOOM YEE HAW" Not every hunter is as refined or educated as we would wish.

Aquatic Giraffe posted:A friend and his lab partner were out in the woods one time collecting specimens for a lab in college and they got shot by a hunter. Like, actually shot. He lost part of his hand and his lab partner was killed. Yep. Some are criminally stupid. Or have zero control over their emotions and actions. Yes, hunting can be super boring interspersed with moments of extreme excitement, but you can not let that buck fever take over. What i'm saying is, let me have all the guns. I will take good care of them.

Take up barrel racing. The pony can be one of the barrels.

Dunno if I should put this here or in Big Dogs ( he's a bit of both), but have a happy video of a happy disabled donkey. https://youtu.be/JNa-8S6zzSo Don Quixote loves new shavings!

Enelrahc posted:That donkey's flexural limb deformity upsets me. Well, there's good news on that front. Our awesome farrier says the frog may have received enough for him to trim the hoof back enough that Don can have something somewhat flat that's not his god drat ankles to walk on. Video showing poor Don here https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=l6JNiqd7hwE&feature=youtu.be We will be consulting with our excellent equine (and small ruminant) vet, Dr. Julia Deitz, beforehand. It's gonna cost, but Don is worth it. His and Nugget, the mini's official diagnosis seems to be "holy poo poo that's hosed up how are you alive" Suspect Bucket fucked around with this message at 02:32 on Sep 20, 2015 |

TheHeadSage posted:huh, I didn't know that teaching people how to fall correctly was a thing, never had that taught to me. Although an instructor did mention I generally had more memorable falls than most people. This was literally the first thing taught to me, past "This is your helmet wear it always"
