what do you do with a child who is 15 yrs old that wants to lie all the time and play head games with you?
I dont ride out on ice, its too much of a risk, and if my horses got hurt they would lose trust in me. I hate it when people ride on roads during the winter especially if its icy. Cars coming and going, a horse slips woop dee doo. You have got yourself a situation. Yell at the car, scare your horse more its just too much of a risk. If it just snowed and the snow is soft and not slippery i may take my horses out to play in the snow. I have had horses break legs because leasers think oh this isnt my horse. and ive had to sew a few people. So now i have a rule, no riding on ice, or what seems to be ice. People sometimes dont think its icy and then comes black ice. A year ago my horse came close to falling when i walked her out in the snow. I got her to non slippery snow immediatly and walked her back into the barn. Scared me senseless.
I went out this morning to go to work, stepped on the ground, realised it was all Black Ice from last nights rain and went back in, took off my bike gear and walked! I ride a 125cc Motorbike where the tyres are as wide as a Cycle Bike's, so its very easy to tip the bike as I found out very slowly parking it in 5mm's of snow last week. I ain't stupid enough to ride when I see people falling over, all I have to do is lean to far to on side and I am lowsliding past the turn into the on coming car! However if its raining (as it does in the UK), I don't mind it that much, not fun but durable. I won't go out in it, I'll wait it out. Riding on wet roads doesn't bother me unless its puddle deep during heavy rain, then I am very careful!
No, I never ride out in the ice. It's just too dangerous. I do a lot of hacking out so my horse has road studs in his shoes but he still slides about in the ice and it's just not worth the risk. I love my horse far too much to take such a high risk with him and with cars on the roads it's just not safe. Hope your friends horse recovers well. x
If the vicadin isn't yours illegal if the pipe had resin in it-illegal Pill crusherlegalbut since other illegal items were present it could be used against you. The only reason the pipe would be illegal is because it was used for illicit reasons and had resin from an illegal drugif it had been new and unused or a tobacco resin present then it would have been legal. It also depends how he sent the item and if the delivery company or post office uses drug sniffing dogs. So if you hear a knock on the door and you're not expecting anyonebetter get on the phone with dad before they break the door down and shove a shotgun in your face. Good luck
I don't deliberately ride on ice or any other potentially dangerous surface, but sometimes, doing a wedding with a horse/carriage, I find myself in situations that really require prior preparation plus plain simple horsemanship skills and common sense. To explain, when I have carriage horses shod, I have the farrier add some type of rough, traction getting material on the bottom of the shoesnot all the way, just in 4 to 6 placesit can be borium, drill tech (arc welding rods) or they also make those borium studs that you can drill a hold in your horse shoes and hammer them in and they click in and stay there, then the shoes are put on your horseThat said, horses don't have wings and do need help when going up and down hills (especially carrying passengers)you may begin going up one hill and the surface is fine, top the hill and discover that those little pebble like things have been added to the surface, that is murder on a horse that is holding a carriage, even it it is dry. .I always take the weight off the horse with the brake and look if there is any surface on the side of the road (without going into a ditch) that I can use to help the hose with his traction, even just one side helpsI don't deliberately attempt these things and ask the horse to do the impossible, but sometimes situations arise that simply cannot be helped, you just have to work your way though it the best way that you can. While driving a carriage, the safest place for you and the horse is on the carriage, but while riding, if my horse was having the least bit of problem, I wouldn't hesitate dismounting and leading in, no matter how farsometimes they can make it back safely if they aren't carrying someoneThere are other things that we should look ahead to protect our horsessprinklers on brick surfaceschange in surfaces, etcwe owe it to our horses to think for themand in turn, they will learn to trust you even more.
