Beatrix Potter's cozy cottage has been left unchanged for 100 years

[majinbangus]

You've always wanted a dog. It doesn't matter what kind, you'd be happy with any, but no matter how much discussion, Soap never budges, holding the exact opposite opinion about dogs. Which you understand given his experiences with them, but it's still a little disappointing.

Until he compromises one day under the condition he gets to choose the dog. Specifically a guard dog, in his words. One he's known and worked with multiple times. One he trusts to take care of his sweet lass. One that will protect.

You get so excited, you buy the collar and everything, eagerly waiting the day Soap is coming home with the dog... only to be confused when Ghost walks in behind him, no dog in sight.

"Uh, hi, Simon?" You peek around the man. Perhaps the dog is hidden behind the man's massive frame. It's not. "Don't take this the wrong way, but what are you doing here?" You shoot Soap a confused look. "And where's the dog you promised me?"

Soap chuckles at your confusion. "He's right here, sweetheart." He pats Ghost's shoulder, and the man takes one big step closer to you, closing the gap within that single stride. The shadow he casts somehow makes him look larger. "You said you'd be happy with anything, and I got you the best one! Ghost'll do anything you say—sit, stay, attack—you'll love him!"

You're not quite convinced. Can't lie and say you're not a little disappointed, but all thoughts of dissatisfaction are briefly forgotten when Ghost reaches down to grab your wrist, the one loosely holding the leather dog collar in hand, and undoes the buckle for you. He then guides your limp hands to slip it around his neck, adjusting it perfectly before letting your hands drop. When he pulls away, a shiver runs through you at the hungry gleam in his eyes, smirk evident in his voice.

"Woof."

You gulp. Maybe Soap is right. Maybe you will love him.

Safety considerations when using a breastplate while riding

Breastplates are pieces of riding equipment that attach to a horse's saddle and pass over the horse's chest, helping to keep the saddle in place and prevent it from slipping back. While breastplates can help ensure horse and rider safety, some safety considerations should be considered. Here are a few things to keep in mind:

Proper fit: The breastplate should fit the horse properly to prevent     discomfort or rubbing. A poorly done breastplate can cause chafing, sores, and pain for the horse, leading to resistance or behavioural issues.

Use appropriate attachments: Make sure that the breastplate is     attached correctly to the saddle and that any straps are appropriately     adjusted to ensure the breastplate is secure. If the breastplate is not     connected correctly, it could cause the saddle to slip or shift, leading     to a fall or injury.

Don't overtighten: Avoid over tightening the breastplate, which can restrict the horse's breathing and movement. A too-tight breastplate can also cause discomfort and make it difficult for the horse to move comfortably.

Regular maintenance: Regularly check the breastplate for wear and tear and promptly replace any damaged or worn parts. This will help to ensure that the breastplate is functioning correctly and providing the necessary support.

Proper training: It is essential to properly train your horse to wear a     breastplate before using it during riding. Introduce the breastplate     gradually and calmly, and reward the horse for cooperating. Ensure the    horse is comfortable wearing the breastplate and does not cause undue  stress or discomfort.

By following these safety considerations, you can help ensure that using a breastplate while riding is safe and comfortable for you and your horse.

While looking for safety, a poor breastplate can make all your precautions go in vain. Here are some signs of a poor breastplate that you should look for while selecting the right breastplate for your horse.

Poor fit: If the breastplate does not fit well, it may not provide adequate protection. It may also be uncomfortable to wear and restrict     movement of your horse.

Weak material: A breastplate made of low-quality materials may not be able to withstand the impact of a sudden movement and hence may leave your horse vulnerable to injury.

Rust or corrosion: If the breastplate is made of metal and shows signs of rust or corrosion, it may be weakened and less effective at providing protection and thus increases the risk of further injuries to your horse.

Cracks or dents: A breastplate that is cracked or dented may have already been compromised and may not be able to withstand further impact or any jolt.

Loose straps or  buckles: If the straps or buckles on the breastplate are loose or damaged, the breastplate may not fit securely, making it less effective at protecting your horse.

Lack of     certification: A breastplate that has not been certified by a reputable safety organisation may not meet safety standards and could potentially fail in a dangerous situation.

Security is not an only issue of a poor breastplate, it can cause following issues that may pertain for a long time.

Compromised mobility: If a breastplate is too heavy or does not fit well, it can restrict movement and limit mobility, which can be dangerous in combat or other physical activities.

False sense of security: Wearing a poorly made or ill-fitting     breastplate may give a false sense of security, leading your horse prone  to unnecessary risks or becoming complacent about its safety.

Increased risk of accidents: A breastplate that is poorly constructed or made from low-quality materials may break or fail during the ride increasing the risk of accidents and injury.

Inadequate protection against projectiles: A breastplate that does   not cover the entire upper body of your horse, makes your horse more     susceptible to accidents or projectile threats such as falling or stumbling.

A bad breastplate can significantly increase the risk of injury. It is important to choose a breastplate that is well-constructed, fits properly, and meets safety standards to ensure maximum protection and minimise risk.

Just watched "Rope of Sand," and I got a new favorite Peter Lorre character.

First off: Boo Berry is clearly based on Toady.

Boo's outfit is allegedly modeled after Toady's. But it seems like more than just the outfit to me.

Toady repeatedly appears out of nowhere, floating in from around a pillar or just abruptly appearing right there next to the other characters, like a ghostly marshmallow, and then vanishes as quickly as he came. His white suit shines against his dark surroundings. I am convinced that this character specifically inspired someone to make a Peter Lorre ghost.

His body shape is also the same as Boo's here. And on that note, I love how the movie works with the weight gain that was outside of Lorre's control to find new ways for him to be otherworldly. He probably couldn't slink between other characters and slither agilely through doors like he had in "Casablanca;" so instead, he rolls around from behind a pillar, or just suddenly appears next to someone, mooching of their cigarette match. He is an ethereal little cloud.

Second, Toady is totally Ugarte.

He is the exact same character, except for a chill wisdom that could come from surviving a rough life, and a traumatic capture.

We only have Strasser and Renault's word that Ugarte is dead, they wouldn't kill him before extracting the location of the visas from him, and they'd have every reason to lie to Laszlo about his death. How Ugarte escaped Casablanca and made it to a better life in South Africa is a story I want to hear. And knowing "Toady," one he'd love to tell.

I can't as ready explain why Martingale and Vogel look and sound identical to Renault and Laszlo, but there are various explanations. Could be relatives, or just a coincidences. Or Martingale could be Renault living under an new identity after he defected; the idea of him and Ugarte now being close friends is a cute one. Vogel obviously isn't Laszlo, but maybe Laszlo had some relatives who weren't as noble as him.

Ugarte becoming Toady is just...exactly what I need to patch the pain of his departure in "Casablanca." He's like a timid, defensive stray cat, feeding off scraps he can manipulate out of those around him, until the powers that be decide to chase him down and haul him off to the pound; then miraculously, years later, he's a chill, plump house cat, catching treats in the air.

Fake Saddles v/s Real Saddles

A fake saddle, also known as a counterfeit saddle, is a replica or imitation of a genuine, high-quality saddle. It is typically made with lower-quality materials and craftsmanship and may not be as durable or functional as a real saddle. On the other hand, a real saddle is made with genuine materials and crafted by experienced saddle-makers. It is typically more expensive than a fake saddle but is also more durable, functional, and comfortable. It is important to note that fake saddles can be very similar in appearance to real ones, so it's important to research the brand and seller before purchasing a saddle to ensure it is genuine.

Fake saddles can be harmful to horses during riding for several reasons: Poor fit: Counterfeit saddles are often not made to the same specifications as real ones, so they may not fit the horse properly. This can cause discomfort, pain, and even injury to the horse's back. Low-quality materials: Fake saddles are often made with lower-quality materials that are not as durable or long-lasting as real saddles. This means that the saddle may break or wear out more quickly, which can cause injury to the horse. Inferior craftsmanship: Counterfeit saddles are not made by experienced saddle-makers and may have structural problems. This can cause the saddle to collapse or shift during riding, which can be dangerous for both the horse and the rider. No warranty or after-sales service: Genuine saddles usually come with a warranty and after-sales service. If you have a problem with the saddle, you can contact the manufacturer for help. However, with a fake saddle, you will have no such support. In summary, fake saddles can cause discomfort, pain, and injury to horses due to poor fit, low-quality materials, and inferior craftsmanship, and they also lack warranty or after-sales service. It's important to invest in a genuine, high-quality saddle for the safety and well-being of both the horse and rider.

There are a few ways to identify fake saddles: Price: Fake saddles are often much cheaper than real ones. If a saddle seems too good to be true for the price, it's likely a fake. Brand: Check the brand name and logo on the saddle. If it's spelled incorrectly or looks different from the real thing, it's probably a fake. Quality of materials: Genuine saddles are made with high-quality materials, such as leather. If the saddle looks or feels cheap and flimsy, it's likely a fake. Craftsmanship: Look for signs of poor craftsmanship, such as crooked stitching, uneven edges, or rough finishes. Genuine saddles are made with precision and attention to detail. Serial number: Genuine saddles will have a serial number or other identification marking. Check the saddle for a serial number and compare it to the manufacturer's website to verify it's a real product. Research the seller: Look at the reviews of the seller, check the website and contact details, and check if they have a good reputation. Ask experts: If you are unsure, it's best to ask experts in the field, such as a saddle fitter or a professional horse rider, they can help you identify the fake saddles. It's important to be vigilant and do your research before purchasing a saddle to ensure it is genuine and of good quality. A genuine saddle will be safer and more comfortable for the horse and more durable and long-lasting for the rider. The Ashva is dedicated to providing horse products of exceptional quality. Their main goal is to ensure that you and your horse have a comfortable and enjoyable riding experience.
