I've only been up close to one horse but I've got to say, their size alone is impressive. There's just something different about having a 1,000 lb being come up and check you out.

I never did learn how to ride. I've been meaning to fix that but it's still pretty far down the list.

The last time I was near a horse was when I was like 7/8/9 during a county fair, I got to ride him/her in a tiny paddock.

Damn I feel for some of you all lol. I've been riding since I was 8 or even younger. Basically as long as I can remember

It's not a hobby you can just pick up.

Very true. I was fortunate enough to have family to introduce me into all of it

Been riding close to 40 years myself, wouldn't know what to do with myself if I didn't have a couple horses to take care of.

I mean, if I really wanted to I could pay for riding lessons, but I'd rather save the money and spend it on my doggy girls.

All depends on how much time you have to spend, and how much money as well.

Realistically, unless you have a friend or relative who keeps horses, that's going to be the only way to learn.

I have plenty of emergency funds saved up for just in case. With owning an older home I never know when I'll run into issues. Or if I'll need it for car issues. Or if I'll need it for medical emergencies for both myself or my doggos. I could go out and pay for riding lessons easily, but I'd rather not compromise my safety net.

I had to go back a few pages and do a sanity check of the count cause it was all over the place lol

Is it just me, or do large portions of North America not have a very robust electrical distribution infrastructure?

Good thing you had a generator ready ML, at least you and yours should be ok.

Unfortunately the issue is funding. Many towns and cities in the U.S. are using power grids from the 60s/70s/80s/90s. It's cheaper to just spot repair it when something breaks rather than replace every component and overhaul it. Most of the time that's not in the cities budget.
