Does anyone know if the SKIDS vest is coming back? Mine suffered some damage and I am DEVASTATED.

I’m so upset, I’m going to try to fix it but I want to buy one to keep on backup. My vest is one of my most prized possessions

Bit question

I have a horse who flips his tongue over the bit. Tried dozens of bits, dental, veterinary, the works, nothing fixes it. Haven’t tried a myler yet. I cannot ride this horse bitless, he has made it very clear it causes him much discomfort. He’s in a bit that he likes right now, flips his tongue much less. He’s will pull the headstall off or rear if he dislikes what’s in his mouth (even worse reactions to bitless options that he dislikes). I’m wondering if a myler with tongue relief with a very similar shank would do him good. No it’s not a training problem, he’s immaculately behaved in a bit that he likes and no it’s not some crazy barrel bit, simple shank bit with copper and a smooth mouth. He’s been seen by many clinicians and trainers, no one could fix it. No I will not put a noseband on him, it’s been tried he doesn’t like them. No it’s not the bridle, I’ve loosened it to the point the bit is hanging out the mouth or his lips are pulled up and he can still do it. He has no problems with the bit where it is but does anyone have experience with a tongue flipper and Myles? It’s the last thing I haven’t tried and I’m slightly suspicious about tongue pressure. Pictured is the bit I’m considering buying.

Any guesses to this weird mouth ulcer (going to vet on Friday, just wanting to know what to ask about)

It showed up a few weeks ago, I thought she cut herself and it would clear and I forgot until just a few days ago. It WAS painless but the larger one has gotten bigger recently and she’s not happy about it being touched. Smaller one seems to have gotten smaller but whiter. Seeing vet on Friday but google image search wasn’t helpful except to make me afraid my 6 year old has mouth cancer or her teeth are rotting out. Never ever seen this. Neither other horse on property has it and they share water troughs.

(FOR HIRE) Digital Equine Artist

Please forgive if this isn't perfect; I'm new to this. Currently, we're doing a sale, so its 10$ for a horse with a basic background and 13$ for one with a detailed background until sept 13; then we will go back to our regular pricing of 15 for a horse with a basic background and 20 for a detailed background. I can do fantasy, dynamic poses, and any color/pattern. I cannot do wings or front-facing heads at this time (neither turns out very well and I want to have quality work). Currently I can only accept PayPal and Venmo, 50% of payment needs to be done up front; the remaining 50% will be paid after completion. You will receive MANY progress photos and I am happy to tweak whatever. I have a quick turnaround time, maximum 3 days. Tiktok: SauramonWHI

Predicting kitten size?

Tater tot is 10 wks and is already 4 pounds, with massive ears and loooong back legs (he is 40% back leg). Should we expect a large cat? Google says average male 10wk kittens weigh 1.5-3 pounds. He’s growing like a weed.

Will our snuggle kitten stay snuggly?

Tater is the most TOLERANT snuggly kitten EVER. He has not once swatted, hissed, or shown any sign of aggression or annoyance at us (short of being squirmy when picked up sometimes). He loves it if you pet him ANYWHERE, even his paws. He will sack out under your arm and just stay there for hours. What is the likelihood this continues into adulthood? He is literally the NICEST kitten ever. We think he’s too pure to experience very many negative emotions, anger and rage being right out. Edit: I feel like before anyone asked I should mention he’s a Manx and that’s why he has no tail lol.

Peoples opinions on natural rides?

I’m looking at a used one but I’m a bit concerned it’s just another bare back pad with stirrups gimmick. I’d love to have an option not as Hefty as my saddles. My other concern is the gullet size. I’ve got a horse whos built so wide it’s like someone stretched an image. I’d love to hear some reviews

To milk a platypus would you just wring it out like a wet towel?

They secrete milk through their skin right? I realize that would be very unconventional but it makes sense

Should I ask my doctor about this condtion?

To preface, I have barely any sense of time, so years are approximated. I was on zoloft for about 5 years, give or take 1 or 2. After it RUINED my gi I quit. Nearly got put in the ER repeatedly from the gi issues it caused. I tapered down from a low dose (forget exact) to 12.5 over the span of over half a year. I tapered excessively according to the doctor. The day I stopped it I lost my ability to sleep. I was awake for 72 hours straight; I had delusions, tremors, and in the end nearly got taken to a hospital as I was trying to peel my skin off and pulling my hair out. It has been years, 2-4 years and I cannot sleep without some kind of medication or THC. The medication I was supposed to take started causing a very rare unpleasant side effect so I stopped. If I don't take something, I will have the same energy at 1 am as I did at 1 pm but my brain starts freaking out a bit. Yes, I've accidentally not taken a medication before and spent 36 hours awake; it's still happening. I was on the meds so long and have a slew of other health issues that this is the only real symptom I've got concrete reasoning for. Anything else could be written off to one of dozens of problems. Would this be worth it to bring up? I'm supposed to start Symbalta for chronic pain, but considering what it is, I'm having second thoughts. Would it be good to be wary of that? I've spent years wondering why the zoloft broke my brain and rabbit-holed down into this just now from a post about fatal insomnia and a guy who got shot in the dome causing frontal lobe damage in WW2 and couldn't sleep after that.

AQHA membership taking forever?

I purchased a membership about 2 weeks ago, still haven't gotten my number and they said it should only be about 3 days. Haven't gotten my physical card either. I plan to call when they are open tomorrow, but are they ALWAYS worse than the dmv? Is this normal? I'm beyond annoyed.

Equine gas mask?

It’s 20$, and if it’s a gas mask I’ll snap it up. It’s advertised as a fly mask but as a horse owner, no it’s absolutely not lol. It LOOKS sort of like a gas mask which is why I ask.

Do we think this saddle is screwed?

Seller didn’t tell me the tree had some damage. I didn’t catch it on inspection. I’m pretty pissed but I’ll turn it into barstool if I must. I’m sketched out but want to know what others think.
