My riding teacher told me that when the area above a horse’s eye looks convex or raised rather than hollow/concave, like in these photos, he considers it a warning sign and would advise me not to get on the horse.

I’m still quite new to horses, and I hadn’t heard this before, so I’m curious about other people’s experience. Have you been taught something similar? Have you noticed any connection between the shape or tension around this area and a horse’s behaviour, discomfort or state of mind?

I understand that you can’t judge a horse’s temperament or safety from one physical feature alone—I’m mainly interested in where this idea comes from and whether experienced horse people actually find it useful. Thank you.

I was walking and found house with this plant and i thought it was beautiful. Do you know it’s name? Thank you

I bought a notebook from the Tiger store 3 years ago and i’ve only used it in between other sketchbooks when i felt a bit off. There are so many memories in this pocket sized book - it feels like saying goodbye to an old friend

I’m allowed to be around this horse because its old, but i’ve noticed some marks. Is this age or does he need cream / treatment?

I went to see this horse and i noticed some marks. I know very little about horses so i was wondering if you knew what these are and if there is something I can do?

I found an ikea drawer box… but there’s this thing growing in them.. and i’ve tried washing it but it doesn’t go away.

Do i need to treat wood? Or can i just paint on it? Or is it best to throw away?

This horse has an irritated/watery eye. It hasn’t been seen by a vet, so for now I’ve only bought sterile saline to gently rinse the eye and lubricating eye drops for dry eyes.

I’ve been asked to put them in, but I’ve never given medication to a horse before and nobody has had time to show me how

I’ve never medicated a horse before and nobody has had time to show me how, so I’d really appreciate any advice on the safest way to do it.

Every time I get near his eye, he moves his head away.

Could anyone explain the safest way to give eye drops to a horse? Is there a particular technique or position that makes it easier?

I’m also attaching a few photos. I’m not expecting a diagnosis from pictures, but if this looks like something that really shouldn’t be managed with just saline/lubricating drops, I’d appreciate knowing that too. Thank you!

The riding club I volunteer at rejected these photos (i can understand why) but I’m keeping them for my personal album.. thought i might share some with you

I was allowed to photograph Príncipe while he was let loose in the plaza. I think hes 3 years old (and the best boy) - he likes jaw scratches
