This horse is not exactly what you would call a “natural jumper” 😂

The scribe wrote that Warren was a “liver chestnut” on my test today. ?????

@HunterProbss Noooo this is the actual worst news ever

@arthriticeq Exactly what goes through his head 😂

@JFCEventing This is screaming “I don’t know what to do with my body ahhhh!”

Please appreciate these screenshots from the baby TB’s first xc school 😂

@arthriticeq Our vet’s post injection protocol is always in for the rest of the day/night of the injections, out to normal turnout the following day, light work 3-4 days after that, and then after a week back to regular workload

Anyone with experience with hock injections? I’m being told that sometimes stall rest is required for up to a week. That’s not gonna be possible for N unless I keep him sedated the entire time. Just looking to see if that’s a real number ? Or is it maybe just two days ?

@meadowswish I would say solid 4, maybe 4.5

@punsandponies I’m in CT, he was at Falls Creek Farm Tuesday/Wednesday

@JFCEventing With Boyd?? Where are you located??

Had to post an update on the baby TB, he did his first show last weekend and was a star and yesterday we rode with Boyd and he was super! So proud of him and how he’s progressing!

@plainanon That is a huge increase and 30 days is definitley not enough notice for that, but I think we’re about to be seeing this more and more, costs and expenses have just gone up so rapidly a normal $50-$100 increase isn’t cutting it for boarding barns anymore

My barn is raising board by $600 a month starting next month. I responded with my 30 day notice. Who can afford that much of an increase that soon? No thank you

@bluntequestrian I can’t 😂

Oh this is hilarious

@arthriticeq Hot**

@arthriticeq Yes! Way more than I ever expected it to. This was him the other day after he would not sweat at all before the daily beer. He won’t eat electrolytes either, but the rest of my horses eat Stress Dex when it’s got like this

Anyone have experience with anhidrosis? The fact that N doesn’t usually sweat and is not sweating while working at 80° or hanging out at 102° is freaking me out. I got him electrolytes but curious what else I can do for him.

@arthriticeq There are also a bunch of supplements out there for anhidrosis but he refuses to eat any of them lol

@arthriticeq Ben has anhidrosis ever since he was diagnosed with Cushings. We give him one bottle of Guinness a day in 1/2lb of beet pulp from April until it gets cool again (usually October) and it helps a lot! Also hosing frequently and spraying with rubbing alcohol after

@e38simp Yep. Had someone call out on me at 7am when she was supposed to be here at 8 for like 3 out of 5 shifts. “Car trouble”. I asked if she could get a ride in from anybody, she said no, and then literally ghosted me and never showed up again 😂

@e38simp It is the worst when people do this. Like “I wasn’t feeling good last night and I woke up and it’s worse!” an hour before they’re supposed to be there. Like just call out the night before!!

@arthriticeq I find that this varies from event to event. For the most part 18”=crossrails, but not always, sometimes it’s little verticals

Jumper / event people: would 18” in a two phase essentially be crossrails?

@milesofleg Yes! I have a huge container that takes up a ton of room in my office so I can keep them clean and laid flat

@JFCEventing That and you have to handle them like EGGS unless you are okay with them wrinkling!

The next time you say something like “we do all this work for a 50 cent ribbon” just know that I just dropped almost $800 on ribbons for my little schooling jumper series and they are not actually that cheap 😭

I’d like to call this collection of images “Thoroughbreds lol”
