Ok I'll start by stating the facts. Please no criticizing. I've owned her for a year. She is a barrel horse. 13 years old. QH. She seems to be in heat more often than not. And when she is in heat she'll drop her hip hard into the trailer or panels. She'll also kick and squeal (especially around other horses).

She has tied up 5 (nearly 6 times) in the past year. One episode was not with me. A friend suggested I have her checked for a cyst (which I haven't done YET). She however hasn't tied up in the past 2 months. Most of her "episodes" were at a barrel race.

Anyhow I know my mare. And I'm convinced something IS NOT RIGHT!!!!! Tonight she took very short strides in her trot and felt a little lame in her front end. Otherwise she has mostly been sound. For a long time I have felt like this mare is hurting. Also she doesn't want to keep her butt underneath her.

Any idea what in the world is wrong with my mare.

I want a career that allows me to "make" my own schedule with "flexibility". It needs to have a decent salary. Something that I can enjoy. I like being around people and animals. I have some patience but not a whole lot. And a career that requires no more that requires 4 years of school. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Also no super hard science classes (well not many at least)

I don't plan to sell my pictures but have HIGH-QUALITY pictures. I want to be able to get good clear action shots ( such as rodeo ). The camera must have plenty of zooming to it. I want to get at least 4 frames a second. And not all pictures will be action shots. Please if possible answer with a link please.

My border collie is 7 years old and I have had her since she was a puppy. She has lived outside in a kennel until about 2 years ago. Now she is a house dog. She used to listen well and be easily trained. She still is trainable. She just doesn't listen very well. Sometimes when I call her she just ignores me, starts coming and then drifts off, doesn't come at all, or even goes the opposite way. I have tried a lot of things. Nothing has permanently worked. Just sometimes temporary. She stays in the house only going outside for potty breaks. She occasionally gets played with outside. What should I do?

Around 10 days ago I accidentally turned my foot on its side and went crashing down hard on concrete. I couldn't walk on it with all weight bearing on the first day and each day got better until after a few days I could walk and run on it without pain. Now if I flex the side of my foot it hurts. Not terribly bad but it hurts.
