No one is illegal on stolen land, i think Spirit would agree (Spirit, Stallion of the Cimarron is a beautiful 2d animated movie, I recommend watching it if you havent)

Drawing of Spirit the horse holding a broken icicle (parody from the scene in the movie) text says “abolish ice”

A mint in these trying times, perhaps? 🍬

Luna, a blue roan mare who looks black in her winter coat, reaches forward with her nose and mouth to examine the spearmint I have in my hand. She has an inquisitive, goofy look on her face with ears forward. Our donkey is barely visible in the background to the left of the picture.

I am so glad we deworm our horses now with positive reinforcement. It is SO much faster and efficient. 🪱

Little blue filly coming into some work (slowly)! She just had some misc tasks today with no real goal, but she did well with that!

Luna, a blue roan mare, being taken at a walk on the line. She is completely visible and moving clockwise. She doesn’t look terribly thrilled, but not terribly bothered either. Her croup is really starting to roan out but her neck, not so much. She wears a gray pad with a standard looking roping saddle that has a light tan pommel.

The aliens have landed 👾

A photo of Strawberry, mostly her head, but she is walking towards me so a leg is visible, wearing a pink fly mask that has a nose cover. Strawberry is a young, graying red base made. She has a pretty wide blaze that goes all the way down her nose, thus the need for a nose cover fly mask. Her ears are up as she looks at me holding up the phone.

Someday I'll make real tutorials instead of DRAW GOOD NOT BAD but for now I'm busy with school and just trying to dispel the idea of a horse hoof being a weird meat can

A blue canvas with purple drawings of hooves split up into "weird" and "natural". The weird side includes a bunch of drawings of mammal limbs ending in an awkward dark, shiny cylinder. The cylinder occasionally has a metal, U shaped horseshoe attached. The bottom is an ambiguous dark circle with no features. I derisively compare it to a plunger. There are many frownie faces. The natural side shows a normal horse's hoof, which has the cushy padded heel bulbs on the back, mostly similar to other mammalian feet, but with a nail covering the toe. It is more square and less tall and rectangular from the front. On the bottom, it's circular with a triangle in the middle coming from the heel bulbs and pointing towards the toe.

Thank you so much! And yeah, that makes sense lol.

In that case, I think you’ve got them on correctly! However, maybe someone else can confirm as well. Good avoiding the sport boots, cos as I understand the added heat is bad for them over time.

Are they skid boots? If so, I believe they fashion on the back of the fetlock. Like this:

The moon overseeing Luna in the pasture 🌙

A picture taken mostly of the sky with pastel clouds from gathering dusk. The moon hangs high, nearly full. A black horse grazes under a bare tree in a pasture. She’s actually blue roan, but her winter coat turns her black. There’s a donkey also on the very left edge of the picture.

The carefree face of a stud colt who doesn’t know his 🥜 are leaving tomorrow.

A picture from directly in front of Toast apparently receiving the best scratches of his life on his chest. He is a grulla champagne colt, which gives him slightly darker fur on his face, making an almost lavender color on the nose. He is tilting his head and pulling his lips into a parrot mouth shape. The lense focuses heavily on his snoot as he gently writhes. Flame can be sort of seen behind him, a chestnut gelding.

Toast reaches nirvana during scratchies. This is a photo of him sticking his head up straight into the air. The majesty of this stallion knows no bounds. The eye is squinted in thoughtful ecstasy as he giraffe necks.

Made for my insta but figured I’d share here too in case anybody finds it interesting! (3 more slides cont. in replies)

title of post: “Horses learn more effectively when experiencing positive emotions”

The goal of this study was to explore how emotions impact learning in horses.

34 riding horses from ages 3 to 21 were studied; half of the horses were given Synthetic Equine Appeasing Hormone (EAP) while the other half were not. Then, researchers analyzed the horses’ cognition and emotions in a reward-based learning task in order to determine if emotion affects learning ability.

Results showed that horses given the equine appeasing hormone (EAP) who had a more positive mental state also performed better on the learning task, giving more correct responses than horses not given EAP who had a more negative mental state.

The EAP group was correct 93% of the time, while the non-EAP/placebo group was only correct 58% of the time.

The task seemed to be equally physiologically arousing for horses given the appeasing hormone and horses not given the hormone. Emotional state did not seem to have an effect on heart rate or heart rate variability. Both groups showed a significant increase in baseline heart rate during the learning task, indicating some physiological arousal.

"I've worked with hundreds of horses and positive reinforcement never worked!" There's a suspicious common denominator here and it's not if horse's behavior can be modified by food LOL

I wasn’t even happy with how I executed the session with Toast because I don’t claim to be the supreme authority on food rewards/R+ as an R- trainer, but at least I’m not divorced from reality lol

Mar 1st ▶️ today! Wildfire is gearing up slowly for foaling! Most of this is probably edema, but she’s definitely progressing.

An older pic of Wildfire’s udder. It’s definitely bigger than normal, but most is likely edema.

The latest picture of Wildfire’s udder! Definitely more swollen, so probably more edema, but we’re getting closer to the foaling window with this progress.

Honestly, she definitely could tell it wasn’t his whistle, but she came after a few tries! She was initially offended LOL. I think the pitch was just really high comparatively.

Wildfire is 320 days pregnant TODAY!! She is now free to foal at anytime after this date. She’s not giving anything close to imminent foaling signs, so she’ll probably cook it into March. 🫶

You must pay the 🍓 tax to keep scrolling

Strawberry, a greying red (roan?), reaches over the bars of the fence to pilfer what she believes to be food, but I was in fact empty-handed. She has a big blaze that covers her entire snoot, ans demands to be booped with its appearance. All you can see really is her nose and lips, her right eye and cheek, and her big ears poking up from behind.

Thought I would repost this bittersweet memorial piece I did for one of my very good friends of the colt they had that passed. It'll be three years since his passing, and I know he is still greatly missed. #horseart #horseartist #equineartist #memorialart

A memorial piece of a black tobiano (paint) horse. He is depicted as a pegasus here with wings that match his fur pattern. He flies above a still lake, his furthest hoof almost touching the water's surface and casting a reflection of his legs below. The sunset is brilliant and sets the sky full of fiery orange and whimsical purple to be this beloved colt's backdrop. There is some nondescript land visible across the horizon.

NEW: A first-of-its-kind analysis by @propublica.org found that the sepsis rate in second-trimester pregnancy loss hospitalizations increased by more than 50% after Texas’ near-total abortion ban went into effect in September 2021. www.propublica.org/article/texa...

A line chart depicts data from 2017 to 2023. The line is labeled "Sepsis rate". The line starts at 2.9% in 2017 and hovers around 3% through 2021. The line spikes up in 2022 and 2023, where it ends at 4.9%. The years 2022 -2023 are labeled "Years abortion was banned."
