Something something Tommy saying it's never great to date people you've saved but something something Buck's coma dream confirming that without Buck, Eddie would have lost control and spiraled and lost Chris. Something something he dove under a truck ladder after being crushed by one under a hail of bullets just to drag Eddie to safety. Something something he tried to dig through 40 ft of mud with his bare hands to get to a trapped Eddie. Something something he introduced Carla to Eddie and helped him be the best father Eddie can be to Chris. Something something he assured Eddie his son will be safe at school and then drove him over to see him after the earthquake. Something something he dropped everything in the middle of the night to come help Eddie when he had a breakdown and helped Chris calm down and tuck him in and stayed for Eddie to help him through it. Something something he brought Eddie to equine therapy so that Eddie can see with his own eyes what impact he has as a firefighter and to realize his worth. Something something he helped Eddie realize that he's living a lie with Ana and that he's simply stringing her along w/o loving her. Something something Chris and Eddie being upset they can't spend Christmas together and Buck arranges a surprise Christmas party at the firehouse for Eddie's little family. Something something Buck getting pissed when the prisoners threatened Chris. Something something Buck running straight into what could have been a hostile situation because he heard a gunshot and all he thought of was Eddie. Something something he didn't think twice before jumping into the water and spent hours looking for Eddie's son, Eddie's heart and reason, Eddie's everything, despite being injured and on blood thinners and barely being able to stand up.
So yeah, maybe it's not a great idea to be with someone who you saved once but what about someone you keep saving?? Someone who you would never even think twice about abandoning?? Someone who also saves you constantly by being in your life??

"Nothing to be done anymore." Clegan, of course, either the equine therapy or the actress au 👀
PLS PLS PLS enjoy pooki <33

Gale’s head hung low, shame written across his face. John grumbled under his breath as he paced the kitchen, cleaning up the remnants of dinner. The air between them was thick with tension, everything feeling like one big, catastrophic mess. At least Gale’s folks had retired to their rooms, John thought bitterly. He still couldn’t understand why Gale let them stay—why he tolerated the way they picked at him, finding any excuse to be awful.
Tonight had been worse than usual. Gale had been shaky all evening, barely holding it together, when he knocked over a water glass. What should’ve been an innocent mistake spiraled into something darker, something far more unsettling. Gale had gone into a full-fledged panic, his body locking up as he tried to stammer out an apology while John watched, helpless. It wasn’t just a broken glass—it was flashes of his ex bouncing around behind his eyes, his voice still echoing in his ears.
"I'm sorry," Gale croaked, his voice hoarse from the strain.
"Not your fault, Buck," John muttered, though his tone was sharper than he meant. He didn’t stop cleaning, didn’t stop pacing, the sound of plates clinking together somehow too loud in the quiet room.
"But—"
"Nothing to be done anymore," John cut him off, shaking his head. He wasn’t in the mood for apologies, wasn’t in the mood for anything. It wasn’t fair, he knew that. Gale wasn’t at fault, but that didn’t make the frustration bubbling inside him any less real. He was exhausted—exhausted from always being on edge, from trying to pick up the pieces that seemed to shatter around them every time they thought they’d found some peace.
"You should go lay down," John said, his back still turned as he wiped down the counters. His voice had softened, but it carried a weight, an unspoken tiredness.
Gale sat there for a moment, frozen, feeling the sting of John’s words even though they hadn’t been cruel. He knew John wasn’t angry at him, not really. But that didn’t stop the guilt from gnawing at him, didn’t stop the feeling that he was just a burden—someone who kept breaking under the weight of his own past.
"Yeah," Gale mumbled, barely audible. He turned and left the kitchen, the weight of the night pressing down on his shoulders as he made his way to their room. His head was spinning, but there was nothing to do now.

On Friday while driving home from the barn the engine in my 2017 Ford Explorer, well, exploded. Technically the water pump exploded which caused coolant to mix with the oil causing my engine to seize. It’s going to cost $10,000 to fix. I’m literally shitting bricks and have not been able to eat or sleep much since Friday. It’s my only mode of transportation, and I still owe money on it.
Here is the list of my highest dollar items. I’m trying to avoid selling my Brenderup trailer, but it’s looking like the only solution at the moment if I can’t find a different way to finance the repairs. 😞

18 inch County Fusion dressage saddle, WXW tree. $1800

Saturday Snippets
This was originally started for this year's George Eads Appreciation Week, for the rubber ducky prompt.
It's still a WIP, but I actually managed to get some writing done on it today. Its still a little rough and I think Jack may have highjacked it, lol. I think it went off on a bit of a tanget.
“Please tell me they’re not real,” Riley asks, turning her attention back to Jack, one eyebrow raised as she pins him with a look.
“Now would I go and do a thing like that?”
He’s the picture of innocence as he looks back at her from the across the kitchen, and Riley huffs out a laugh and as she shakes her head in fond exasperation.
“You bought my daughter a horse, Jack. A hooves, and horseshoe’s, neighing real live horse, because she thought he was all soft and cute and she asked you to," Riley reminds her surrogate father. “So I think I’m validated in being a bit skeptical.”
“Now technically, sweetheart, Twinkle is a pony,” he says, like the height difference between the two animals takes away the point of her previous statement.  
“’Sides…” he continues as he makes a show of taking the pancakes off the griddle, each flapjack flipping high in the air before coming to rest on the plate that he’s holding in his other hand.
He gives her a wink as he shuts off the stove and moves the griddle aside. He picks up a small silver shaker and with a flourish and spin of his hand dusts the tops of each pancake with powered sugar to finish up his act.
Riley known Jack a long time, and knows one of his distraction techniques when she sees one, but still can’t help but be pulled in, impressed and entertained by the showmanship.
“It’s not like I brought him home or anything,” Jack defends.
“That’s only because, your no animals allowed in the GTO policy aside, he wouldn’t fit in the back seat,” she says.
“Mmm… Yeah. I didn’t really think that one all the way through,” Jack admits. “Good thing Thorpe runs that equine therapy ranch up in the hills and let’s us board him there. But… Jack Wyatt Dalton ain’t no push over, you know. I’ve gone toe to toe with the baddiest of the bad and not broken, no way a little girl will get through my steely defenses.”
“Is that, right?” Riley asks, amused. While there is no arguing with the first part of his sentence, from the very first moment that Jack finally met his granddaughter, she has had him wrapped around her tiny finger.
“That’s right,” Jack tells her. “Like… For instance… I didn’t buy her those penguins she begged me for.”
“Uh huh... Not for lack of trying.”
“Yeah… I think retirement has seriously messed with my mojo, that aquarium dude just wouldn’t give in.”
“It’s illegal for private parties to own penguins, Jack,” Riley tells him, not for the first time.
“I’m bettin’ Matty can pull it off. Bein’ away as long as I was, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen her go full Hun on anyone. Ohh… Oh, I know,” Jack exclaims, eyes wide with excitement. “Taylor… He can pull it off. He would do it a second.”
“…Russ? I don’t even know why I’m asking this. Or even encouraging you with this path of conversation,” Riley says, “But… why Russ?”
“’Cuz money… He has more than he’ll ever use,” he drawls. “Big ole donation to the aquarium. Heck, we could have an entire wing named in our honor. Little princess can go play with those tuxedoed birds anytime she wants. And… oh, I’ll get Steve to come teach her to swim, and scuba. That way she can swim along side 'em. He may be a whiny water baby, but the guy’s like a fish himself in the water. And—”
“Woah… let’s rein it in, cowboy. No. Absolutely, no. None of that is going to happen," she informs him. "You know, I think I liked it better when you and Russ couldn’t stand each other.”

Caring for Sports Horses: Keeping Them at Their Best
Tumblr media
Sports horses are remarkable athletes, known for their strength, agility, and willingness to perform. Whether competing in show jumping, dressage, eventing, or racing, their physical and mental well-being is paramount to their success and longevity in the sport. Proper care goes beyond regular feedings and exercise—it's about creating a holistic approach to their health and performance. Here’s how to keep your equine partner performing at their best.
Nutrition Matters
A balanced diet tailored to your horse's activity level and needs is essential. Sports horses require a combination of high-quality forage, grains, and supplements to fuel their energy and recovery. Electrolytes are crucial, especially during intense training or competition, to replace minerals lost through sweat. Always consult with an equine nutritionist to ensure your horse's diet supports their performance goals.
Regular Exercise and Conditioning
Structured training programs that include variety—such as hacking, pole work, and interval training—help build strength and prevent boredom. Incorporate warm-ups and cool-downs to reduce the risk of muscle strain and stiffness. Remember, overtraining can lead to fatigue and injury, so balance is key.
Veterinary Care and Preventive Measures
Routine check-ups with your equine veterinarian are non-negotiable. Vaccinations, deworming, and dental care are the foundation of preventive health. Monitoring your horse for signs of discomfort, such as changes in behavior or performance, can catch issues early before they become major problems.
Equine Sports Massage Therapy
One of the best-kept secrets to maintaining a happy and healthy sports horse is incorporating the services of a qualified equine sports massage therapist. These professionals specialize in identifying and relieving muscular tension, improving circulation, and enhancing flexibility—all of which are critical for athletic performance. Regular massage therapy sessions can also aid in recovery after competitions and help prevent injuries by keeping your horse’s muscles supple and balanced.
The Power of Rest and Recovery
Horses, like humans, need downtime to recover and recharge. Incorporate rest days into your horse’s schedule and allow for adequate turnout time. Mental relaxation is just as important as physical recovery, and a happy horse is a more willing partner.
Proper Tack and Equipment
Ensure saddles, bridles, and other equipment fit correctly and are in good condition. Ill-fitting tack can cause discomfort, affect performance, and lead to behavioral issues. Regularly inspect and adjust your gear to accommodate changes in your horse’s physique.
Hydration and Grooming
Hydration is vital, especially during warmer months or after strenuous activity. Provide fresh, clean water at all times and consider adding water-soaked hay or beet pulp to your horse’s diet to increase fluid intake. Grooming is not just about aesthetics—it’s an opportunity to check for cuts, swelling, or heat and to strengthen the bond with your horse.
Listen to Your Horse
Your horse will often tell you how they’re feeling through subtle cues. Pay attention to changes in behavior, appetite, or performance. A sluggish or irritable horse might be signaling discomfort or fatigue. Be proactive and responsive to their needs.
Final Thoughts
Caring for a sports horse requires dedication, attention to detail, and a team of professionals, including veterinarians, farriers, and equine massage therapists. By prioritizing your horse’s physical and mental health, you’re investing in their well-being and success as a partner in sport. Remember, a well-cared-for horse is a happy horse—and a happy horse is a winning horse.

These 3 are by far my favourite so far. I love the movement, power, emotion and character that I feel from these, especially the 2 above. My aim with these piece were to create a feel of power and security. After researching equine therapy I wanted to reflect the emotional and physical intelligence of these animals. I feel I conveyed this the best in the one directly above because of the emotion I have caught within the movement. This horse (Banjo) is filled with emotion, fear, urgency, love and hate. All this enforces the idea that if the horse feels, then he can feel you and your emotion which is exactly what I want the viewer to feel. How the horse is looking at them and understanding them.
In the first, the green background works really well and makes the natural, connected feeling that I was looking for because of tranquillity and connection between the colours and forms in the foreground and background.
The second one has all the character and ferocity that I want. It gives power, fear, and captures the ponies movement more than anything. This was so important to me because I was the viewer to feel how the horse moves with its surroundings and how connected it is with others when it moves and breaths.
Tumblr media
The last is good too, I was thinking about water when I was painting, which is where the bright blues came from. I like this piece because I feel the horse, even thought stationary, is moving within, just like water. I tried to replicate this in the mane and forelock, and I think it worked well because of the texture I created. This piece definitely reminds me of the water and give the feeling of connection between the horse and the water.

Developing a Balanced Diet: The Key to a Healthy, Happy Horse
Tumblr media
Just as humans thrive on a well-balanced diet, horses too require a carefully crafted nutritional plan to support their overall health and vitality. In this segment, we'll explore the art of developing a balanced diet for your equine companion, ensuring they receive the essential nutrients needed for optimal well-being.
Understanding the Components of a Balanced Diet
A balanced diet for a horse encompasses a variety of components, each playing a crucial role in meeting their nutritional needs. These include:
Forage: The foundation of a horse's diet is forage, such as grass and hay. Forage provides essential fiber, promoting healthy digestion and preventing issues like colic and obesity.
Concentrates and Grains: Depending on the horse's activity level and individual requirements, concentrates and grains may be added to provide additional energy, proteins, and specific nutrients.
Vitamins and Minerals: Horses need a spectrum of vitamins and minerals for various bodily functions. These can be naturally obtained through forage or supplemented as needed.
Water: While often overlooked, water is a critical component of a horse's diet. It aids in digestion, regulates body temperature, and ensures overall well-being.
Tailoring the Diet to Individual Needs
Every horse is unique, with its own set of requirements based on factors such as age, weight, activity level, and health status. Tailoring the diet to meet these individual needs is crucial for maintaining optimal health. Consider consulting with an equine nutritionist or veterinarian to create a customized feeding plan that addresses your horse's specific requirements.
Importance of Clean and Fresh Water
Clean and fresh water is not just a component of a horse's diet; it's a fundamental necessity for their well-being. Horses can drink large quantities of water, and ensuring constant access is vital for various reasons:
Digestive Health: Ample water intake is essential for proper digestion, preventing issues like impaction colic.
Hydration: Horses can lose a significant amount of water through sweat, especially during hot weather or intense physical activity. Adequate hydration is crucial for regulating body temperature and preventing dehydration.
General Health: Water plays a role in numerous physiological functions, including nutrient transport, joint lubrication, and waste elimination.
Regularly check water sources to guarantee cleanliness and availability, and be attentive to any changes in your horse's water consumption, as sudden decreases may indicate an underlying health issue.
Vaccinations: Shielding Against Preventable Diseases
Vaccinations are a crucial aspect of equine healthcare, protecting horses from a range of preventable diseases. Common vaccinations include those for:
Equine Influenza (Flu): Highly contagious and potentially debilitating, flu vaccinations are typically administered annually.
Tetanus: Essential for preventing this potentially fatal bacterial infection, especially in horses prone to injuries.
Eastern and Western Equine Encephalitis: Viral infections transmitted by mosquitoes, which can be fatal without vaccination.
Rabies: A zoonotic disease that poses a threat to both horses and humans.
Regular vaccinations are a proactive measure, forming a critical part of responsible horse ownership. Consult with your veterinarian to create a vaccination schedule tailored to your horse's specific needs and regional disease prevalence.
In Conclusion
Developing a balanced diet for your horse is an art that combines science, observation, and a deep understanding of your equine companion. By providing the right mix of forage, concentrates, vitamins, and minerals, and ensuring a constant supply of clean, fresh water, you're laying the foundation for a healthy, happy, and thriving horse therapy arizona. Stay tuned for our next exploration into the world of horse care as we uncover more essential tips for responsible ownership.

Breathing Easy: Equi-Stim Leg Saver's Surprising Potential in COPD and Asthma Treatment
In the realm of healthcare, breakthroughs can often emerge from unexpected sources. Enter Equi-Stim Leg Saver – a revolutionary tool renowned for its impact on equine health. However, this game-changing technology isn't confined to the world of horses alone. Surprisingly, it has shown promise in offering relief to individuals battling chronic respiratory conditions like COPD and asthma.
The human respiratory system, intricate and delicate, can be thrown into turmoil by conditions like COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) and asthma. Breathing becomes a challenge, impacting the quality of life for millions. What if the solution, or at least a significant aid, came from an unexpected quarter? Equi-Stim Leg Saver offers just that.
At the heart of this unconventional approach is the simultaneous treatment of Lung and Spleen Ting Points. By harnessing the power of Equi-Stim Electro Therapy, this method aims to address the underlying factors that contribute to respiratory distress. While this might sound too good to be true, the proof lies in the results.
Imagine a scenario where the simple application of Equi-Stim Leg Saver's techniques could potentially alleviate the symptoms of COPD and asthma. Breathing could become easier, and the daily challenges that these conditions bring might see a significant reduction. The concept is remarkable, and the implications are nothing short of transformative.
Although Equi-Stim Leg Saver's potential in human healthcare is promising, it's important to approach it with a cautious optimism. Seeking guidance from medical professionals, who possess the expertise to evaluate and tailor treatments, is an absolute must. While the equine world has experienced the benefits of this technology, its application in human health requires a comprehensive understanding of the complexities of human physiology.
In conclusion, the unexpected application of Equi-Stim Leg Saver's technology in COPD and asthma treatment offers a glimmer of hope for those who struggle with these conditions. While the path forward is still being paved, the initial results are worth exploring. The idea that a technology designed for horses might hold the key to improving human lives is a testament to the ever-evolving nature of medical innovation.
As we navigate the uncharted waters of this groundbreaking approach, let's remember that medical advancements are fueled by curiosity, research, and collaboration. While Equi-Stim Leg Saver's journey into human healthcare is in its early stages, the potential it holds cannot be ignored. The possibilities are awe-inspiring, and the dream of breathing easier might just become a reality for those who need it most.
