How to know when to let go?

I have a 20ish year old gelding who has been retired for a few years now. He has ringbone and pretty severe arthritis. Over the past few weeks I have noticed he has seem pretty sore and has been favoring the leg with ringbone. He has also been having trouble when I go to pick out his feet.

Other than that he still seems happy. He nickers when he sees me, is eating fine etc.

I just don't want him to be in too much pain. I am also not going to lie part of the reason besides his health is my finances. I can cover his board and regular expenses, but I wouldn't be able to cover any major vet bills.

I just don't know what to do. I don't want to put down a happy horse, but I also don't want him to get to the point where he is suffering.

#horses - #Struggling with Hives.

Struggling with Hives.

My mare has had hives in varying degrees of severity since August 17. Before this she has never had them. The vet prescribed a series of three Dexamethasone shots. This has gotten most of them to disappear but not all.

There has been no change to her bedding, hay, water, or grain. She is stalled all the time so it isn't something she got into in a field. She has gone off her normal grain this week and been switched to another that she will actually eat.

I am at a loss here as to what to do. Has anyone had experience with this?

#horses - #Am I too old to get back into it?

Am I too old to get back into it?

I used to take English lessons for a good 2-3 years starting when I was about 10. I had to quit due to family financial issues. I never really advanced much during those years, and the thought of starting back up now (I'm 20) scares me. I have the money for lessons now, but there's a couple things that are holding me back from starting again. Mainly superficial things, like being older but still beginner at a stable or what not. Is this fear of mine a legitimate fear to starting back up again? Am I too old to start competing for the first time in my life? I do want to own a horse or horses one day, and I know I need to just face my fears and get back in the saddle. Any advice?

Zip on/in blankets? Are they worth it? Do they save time?

Hey so I'm looking at getting a blanket which has a liner system. I'm specifically looking at the Noble Guardsmen 4-1. My horse isn't one that destroys blankets or beats on them, but he is a massive baby when it comes to the cold and he gets clipped all winter. (He hates the cold but sweats like a pig at a bbq anytime it's over 50 in the winter 🤦🏻‍♀️😪)

Anyways I was just wondering about anyone else's experiences with these types of systems and pros or cons.

Horse Camping -- feasible? have you done it? how was it? Looking for general info.

This mayyyy be a stretch for this sub, but I was wondering if any of y'all had every gone on overnights or multi-day trips with your horse? I'm wondering how common this is and any general info one might offer someone interested in this (in the future.)

I don't actually own a horse (I posted a while back about being interested in getting one in a few years), but I love hiking and camping and am looking into transitioning into more back-country activities.

Any tips/tricks/links/books on the topic would be appreciated. Thanks!

#mylittlepony - #The Fanfic Recommendation Link-Swap Thread

The Fanfic Recommendation Link-Swap Thread

So, because it's No-Pics Thursday (August 30th, 2018) today, you know what that means...

It's time for the Weekly Fanfic Recommendation LINK-SWAP Game thread to continue!

Anyways, THE RULES (read 'em carefully):

• Post a link to a fanfiction you like (can be your own as well - it's okay to self-promote), with or without a short blurb.

• Important: Reply to someone else's post with a link to a fanfiction you think they might like, based on their choices.

• Put each of your choices in a separate post if you want to make sure to get a recommendation based on each one. You may reply to someone else's reply, either to you or to someone else. Please make long discussion threads, they introduce a healthy bit of exploration and can help us find new interests! And that's it!

PLEASE COMPLETE BOTH STEPS 1 and 2. Don't just show up and ask for recommendations if you're not willing to provide any. I'll start the first few threads myself, and reply with a gentle reminder if you forget.

IMPORTANT NOTE. Thanks to /u/BookHorseBot (many thanks to their creator, /u/BitzLeon), you can now use the aforementioned bot to easily post the name, description, views, rating, tags, and a bunch of other information about a fic hosted on Fimfiction.net. All you need to do is include "{NAME OF STORY}" in your comment (without quotes), and the bot will look up the story and respond to your comment with the info. It makes sharing stories really convenient. You can even lookup multiple stories at once.

Ready? Set? LET"S GO! Also, feel free to self-promote in here!
