TIL about Aleen Cust, the first woman veterinary surgeon in the UK and Ireland. She practiced as a vet for 25 years before she was officially recognised by the RCVS. During this time, she owned her own practice and volunteered at the front lines of WWII treating horses en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ale…
TIL "Stagecoach Mary" was the first African-American woman mail carrier in the USA. She worked the route 8 years and never missed a day. She won the contract because she was the fastest applicant to hitch a team of 6 horses (she was 60 years old at the time). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mar…
Study shows modern horses are genetically quite different from the horses of just a few hundred years ago. Two additional now-extinct lineages of horses were identified; one from the Iberian Peninsula and one from Siberia, both of which still existed 4,000-4,500 years ago. eurekalert.org/pub_releas…
Just like that, $10,500 worth of horse gear I worked 5 years to afford was gone. The fires in Aus at the moment are devastating guys. My Andalusian, Mariquita is safe- but she has no gear now. Insurance won't cover it either :(

After weeks of being #2, a 17-year-old's song about sucking off her abusive boyfriend and sleeping with married men finally overtakes a wholesome song about a horse. The thing to finally push it over the edge was not a remix with Justin Beiber, but a vertical version of the video for smartphones. goldderby.com/article/201…
Last year, that unexpected “dark horse” was the blockchain engineer, while 2020 seems to be the year of AR/VR (with demand increasing by +1400%). hired.com/page/state-of-s…
1947. He came home from war after years in a prisoner of war camp in Hong Kong. He was so emancipated and ill, no one expected him to live, but he was a stubborn man. Here he and his niece pose with the horse he used to plow his fields on the farm he bought with his pension money.

I'm 22 years old and one month ago for the first time I sat on a horse. Since then my good friend decided that I should do it more. Yesterday she made a photo of me and Chomba
February 5th, 1960— Bill Russell ignored a charley horse to grab a personal best (and second best in NBA history) 51 rebounds in a 124-100 win over Syracuse. Fourteen years later, Russell was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.
For those wondering, Russell is second behind Wilt Chamberlain. On November 24, 1960, Philadelphia Warrior Wilt Chamberlain snagged 55 rebounds in a game against the Boston Celtics and set an NBA record for the most rebounds in a single game, that will likely never be beaten.
TIL One of the most popular street sellers of the 1800s was the cats' meat man. He sold horse meat to feed cats. In the 1860s, there were 300,000 cats in London alone. To feed them, 26,000 horses (maimed or past work) were slaughtered each year. The seller cried "Meat, meat!" Cats ran to the street geriwalton.com/cats-meat-…
Icelandic Horses have got to be some of the prettiest out there! This photo was taken in October last year, these two were rubbing up against each other for a good 20 minutes, it looked as though they may have been itching each other.. Would that have been the case? I don’t know much about horses!
Welcome to 2020. Hackers ruining the game for everyone. If you wait until I'm in a camp you can see my dumb a** using a horse revive on scrawny nag and a bear kill me. This had better not be a sign of how my year is going to go...ugh v.redd.it/hjzxquasc3841
Made my first bee friend of the year. She was on my horses side and I didn't want her to get hurt so I moved her to the garden.

In memory of all the horses that have died at Cheltenham Festival over the years. Horses are frequently injured during the races and have no retirement plan, so are simply killed as a result of this barbaric sport. On average, 200 die every year across Britain.
So proud of my little horse and her try! Here’s our most recent practice of the USDF First Level one-loop. 💕 A year ago we could barely canter a 20m circle. 😉 v.redd.it/ymuyeh7bygt41
1989 Troy Bilt Horse tiller. Replaced the tines, changed the oil and repaired the tires. It started like a champ this weekend. Reminded me of working the same tiller with my Grandpa the year my dad bought it.
Weren’t the horse-drawn carriages banned from the CBD a couple of years ago?
Could’ve sworn I read that they had been banned but saw them out and about today. Anybody know what the deal is?
The down fall of BJP is gonna be absorption of Congress Neta and horse trading they have done. BJP doesn't have a discipline unit to keep everyone in check so basically what Congress did for the past 70 plus years BJP is now gonna start doing
Modi, Amit, JP nadda must not allow clout to get to their head or their own down fall is evitable. Also they need to find a better strategy instead of blaming Congress for all the problems. Give people examples of the problems they fixed and show them what are the current problems and how they are planning on tackling them. If not corruption is gonna spring up in BJP and then the downfall is Evitable.
Me with with Big Boy, Valentino. . . In his first Veterans Day parade. So proud of him, only 6 yrs old and did SO well. Val is a 6-year Lippozonner Gelding. I love the history of this breed, a warrior horse. He walked to the crowd, greeted the veterans and let children run up to him, no issue.
25 year old Youtuber/Twitch Streamer, working through depression and PTSD to get back on the horse and make content again. Could use a bit of a pick me up.
Had our first show of the year today! (A small club show, sure, but still a show... :P) Had one down with Thea (-13, Clinton II - Pep) but still ended third among the non-school horses :)
This is me and my first (and only so far) horse on the day I got him. Today is the 3 year anniversary of his death and I never stop missing him.
My mum just sent this through. It’s nice to see older Aussies becoming aware of the cruelty that is Horse Racing. For non Aussies the Melbourne Cup is a huge tradition- one my mum has participated in for years (and Nup means No in Aussie 😹)
Romania is 20 years ahead of Moldova. I give you the 1 horse power car.

William Cooper, one of the greatest CT of our time, got murdered on the 5th of November (like in V for Vendetta) for predicting 9/11 3 months before it happened, precisely using the name Osama Bin Laden and how it was carried out. His book “Behold a Pale Horse” is 20 years old. reddit.com/r/conspiracy/c…
Today, for the first time in years, I rode a horse. Also today, for the first time in over a decade, I fell off a horse. Here’s a pic of my dog.
6 years and a few thousand dings, drops, mods, setups, tracks, shows, and stories later, she’s still the prettiest, most dependable old war horse a guy could ask for. This instrument’s an extension of who I am as a guitarist and person, hope she’s by my side the rest of my life.
There was a question, which asked who out of ATP’s top 20 will have the worst year, so my question is, who’s yours dark horse outside top 20 for 2020? I see guys like Ruud and Hurkacz going big this year.

A token i found a few years ago. Very small and rare i guess. Cant find any pictures of this anywhere, but one book has a accurate description identifying it as a Gen. McClellan token. Other side has a man on horse back with a raised saber. A teepee with a american is in the background.
Here's a little Derby History for you: This year marks the 10 year anniversary of Mine that Bird's massive upset in the Kentucky Derby (G1) at odds of 50-1, which ties him with 2005 winner, Giacamo, for the horse with the second-longest odds to win the Derby. Who remembers his rail-skimming ride?
Inktober 2019 #2. No prompts. Hoping to get back on the horse after years of not doing anything with my untrained ability.

As a vaulter for the last 13 years, I’m interested in trying dressage or jumping, how would one go about finding a good instructor/horse? Never ridden (in a saddle) before so I’d have to learn the basics first, of course.
I finished the crochet portion of my very first project! I just started on the first and it was my new years resolution to be able to crochet good fly bonnets for my horses. This was my first one and I have learned a LOT from it. I had a few mishaps but I think its okay! Now to add the ears lol
