God and Horses and Life Changing is my motivation in life. I am a Certified Horse Trainer, but because I have a piece of paper doesn't make me feel like I know everything and I will be the first honest person to admit it..I try and help others with the knowledge I have and will never take it to heart if no one likes that information. A horse is an ever evolving animal and will always be unknown 100% to how to handle it, so just remember that when someone tries to be ignorant and act like they know everything :)!

  • Can you adopt with a misdemeanor?

    I got arrest 5 years ago for a misdemeanor in domestic violence reckless conduct. I haven't had an issues with the law, wasn't sent to jail or had to pay any fines. I was just subject to 1 year probation that I had no issues completing. Would I be able to adopt a child in India if I were to try to adopt? I was young back then and was foolish in how I acted and regret everything I did. I have tried looking everywhere online about it and all it does is talks about felonies and other issues that will sometimes cause it to fall through. thanks a ton :)

    Arrest happened in Maine..

  • Will I Be Able To Work For The Government?

    I have a Class D Misdemeanor for Domestic Violence Reckless conduct. It was dropped from Domestic Violence Assault. Would I be able to go to college for a degree to work in the government? or would they not be allowed to take me because of my background?

    I am just unsure what to go to college for now with this issue I had 3 years ago. by the time I get out of college obviously it would be longer since the accident. I could get it expunged but an attorney already told me not to hold my breath on that happening. I am just so frustrated.

    Any advice? My majors I was looking into are Animal Science, Business Administration and Environmental Scientist.

  • How Did You handle your mother in law when it came to kids?

    How did you handle your mother in law when it came to kids? I have been married to my husband 7 years, we are waiting about 2 more years before we have kids. Long story short I was in a car accident 2 yrs this August, I lost my job as I needed to re learn how to walk and my in laws were awesome and made an apt for us on their property to help with finances. The settlement is slowly closing, but we feel it will be closed the end of this year or beginning of next. So both my husband and I have agreed that 29-30 (26 now) sounds about right to try and have children, as we want to get settled in a house and travel and get horses and just enjoy 1 year stress free life from bills and such.. Well my mother in law knows all this as well, but recently she has been being annoying and commenting about how she has the crib, car seat and toys and such, that all she needs is the baby.. I have commented that we will do all of that once we get a house and we get the things we want to do our of our systems, she then commented with "forget the horse and have a kid already." I was shocked, as I could tell she wasn't joking. I tried to speak to my husband and he says I am just looking into things to much...but not more than an hour later did she "jokingly comment" So do you leave your Birth Control Pills at home? As she was saying she was joking, that she was going to change them to sugar pills so I get pregnant...I am terrified to have children a little bit because of her. I mean I don't even have a kid and she is already trying to run my life, imagine my child's life?! I mean how do you handle this stuff? because I have tried to speak to her before about something that angered me a few years ago and she went off crying to everyone that I was being so mean to her and such and everyone was mad at me. I mean I am trying not to get worked up over this, but I want all this stuff handled before I get pregnant and have a child...so what did you do? if you had any issues like this?

  • What Color Would You Pick?

    I am looking to get a new purse and I am stuck on what color would best suit me?

    this is the bag I am looking at. I really love the Kelly Green color and the Chestnut color...but its half and half with friends on what color lol... I wanted to do the green but do you think its to childish? I normally just wear t shirts and jeans, so any color i think would go great with my clothing choice. But just don't want to get the green one and have it be too childish....so basically what do you think?

  • Are These Bearing Reins Or Not?

    I want to make sure I am not going horse dumb, but is this person riding with bearing reins on a horse that is saddled and not pulling a carriage!?!

    Am I wrong to what that is?

    Also the friends horse who this is, told the rider it was to make the horse not be able to just take off and go. I have never heard or seen these other than on a carriage horse. UGH!!

  • I am looking to purchase an Irish Cob?

    what I am wondering is what all you irish cob owners out their feed your little guy/girl? I am looking for a tall irish cob so I will say mine will be 15hh, but I am readying up on how they are easy keepers and a little goes a long way, but no one explains what they mean by that! I am trying to figure out cost of hay and feed that would be needed for my little guy. I will be riding him everyday and if not then every other day. So he will be working out a good deal. I have read that most do a handful of oats and some hay in the morning and then another flake of hay in the evening out in the fields. I will be doing 24/7 access to grass and live in Norway, Maine USA. I say this just so if anyone in maine has one and know if the grass is nutrition enough for them and they can have less hay they can say. :) I guess also if you have any other care information for an Irish Cob, I would so LOVE to hear about it as I am learning up on the breed and everything else I can. I have worked with horses before but never a cob so any information I will take to heart and help me better understand what the horse needs from me :) thanks so much!!

  • My Fitness Pal, Is this right?

    I use My Fitness Pal to watch my calories and such to loose weight, but I am a little concern with how its set up..like for example Its going off my weight and everything to do with me but its 55% carbs (223g), 15% protein (61g) and fat 30% ( 54g). does this seem right? because when I looked up for a woman trying to loose weight it says pretty much 35/35/30 so the fat I guess is right but do the other two seem high? I am 5'3 and 305lbs. ( thats why I am loosing weight :) )

  • First Horse, What would you be prepared for?

    Alright, I am considered an advanced rider. I myself always say beginner as their is always something new out their to learn. I don't like to speak what I feel I am, I just prove it when on a horse to make others gauge for themselves. I am on the search for my very own horse and am so excited but then also have the butterflies. I want to make sure I am 100% prepared and also get the right fit for me.

    What I am looking to do with my horse..Well I am looking to jump, trail ride and just enjoy my new best friend. the jumping will be more determined later on as I was in a severe car accident last year and had two surgeries on my leg. So I am going to request some spring jumping classes before that is 100%. I ride both Western and English. I enjoy English just because of the freedom I feel when riding a horse.

    Breeds I am Considering: Quarter Horse, Draft Quarter Cross and Halflinger. I am deciding on these breeds because I love the stocky build of them. I have never had the pleasure of riding a Halflinger so I am going to be doing more research on them to see if they fit me. ( I am 5'3 a little over weight and I am loosing the extra weight before I subject a horse to carry me.) So anything 14.5hh will suit me well. I have also rode Appaloosa, Mustang and STB. I have no issue with those breeds but never saw myself as owning them as my first breed. Honestly I am not picky and will take whatever God sends my way. But right now I am stuck on the first three horses above.

    What Did You Start Out With?: I am starting out with 3,000 in savings for vets. I will have extra also for feed and hay but will determine that when I decide were I will purchase that from. What do you have in your first aid kit? Saddle you recommend? Bridles?- I have rode with hackamore and snaffle bit. I was thinking more the lines of bit less or whatever the owner before me says is best with the horse. Farrier will be determined at time of purchase, as if the horse is close to its old owners I might just carry on with their farrier.

    Green Broke or Clean Slate? I have trained others horses and know the risk and injury that could occur, the reason I am stuck on this one still is because I think. Do I want the horse to have issues or would I like to teach them all they need to know on my own. I might purchase green broke or who knows what God has in store.

    I guess this whole question comes down to, what did you do to prepare for your first horse? How did you know it was the right horse for you and what should you look out for when making that LIFETIME decision of a new best friend and family member.

  • How Many Grams Of Fat Should I be Eating to Loose Weight?

    I am using My Fitness Pal it has me set up on 1,600 calories a day with a total of 248 carbs and 20 saturated fat. I looked into that and all is great and close to what I show a woman should have but with fat it has me at 59g is this high? because I have been reading around it says to have only 30 grams of fat in weight loss, I would figure MFP would know that as its a weight loss helping app. Should I stick to what MFP says or change it to 30 grams? I also read that in order to burn fat you need to have fat, is this true as well? thanks for your help
