I showed her the bridle before I was gonna put it on her and she understood the assignment and tried to put it on herself. She put the bit in her mouth and tried to force her head into the rest but it was not in the proper position. When I fixed it, she gave me no issues putting it on and stood like an angel while I adjusted it.

I am aware the one rein is in the wrong position lol. I wasn't doing anything with her other than try the bridle on, so I left it where it was and fixed it after we were done lol.

I'm gonna get a better bit and prettier reins on Saturday. I'm gonna get her a bit that has a lil roller on it so she can play with it and keep her mouth busy so she doesn't get bored.

Milk Drop Coronet is a high-speed photograph taken in 1957 by the American engineer and photographer Harold "Doc" Edgerton. It shows a drop of milk striking a surface and forming a crown-shaped splash, captured using Edgerton's stroboscope-based flash photography techniques. A professor of electrical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Edgerton had pioneered the use of extremely short flashes of light to photograph the motion of electric motors, later applying the technique to phenomena such as flying insects, bullets, and splashing liquids. He had experimented with milk-drop images since 1932 and produced a similar photograph in 1936. Milk Drop Coronet became one of the best-known examples of high-speed photography, widely exhibited in museums and included in Time's list of the 100 most influential photographs.

Photographer: Harold Edgerton

The light installation was put into operation as permanent lighting in December 1996. It was designed by British artist Jonathan Park. The three colors red, green and blue are reminiscent of the functions of the ironworks: fire and heat, gas and water. The Duisburg-Nord Landscape Park (also known as “LaPaNo” or “LaPaDu” for short) is a landscape park covering around 180 hectares surrounding a disused steelworks in Duisburg-Meiderich. The former plant was founded in 1902 by August Thyssen as a “joint-stock company for metallurgical operations” to supply his Siemens-Martin steelworks in Bruckhausen and Styrum, and went into operation on May 16, 1903, with the firing up of blast furnace 1. In 1985, blast furnace 5 was shut down after just twelve years of operation due to overcapacity on the European steel market, making it the last remaining blast furnace. In the 1990s, the halls, buildings, and outdoor areas were redesigned according to plans by architects Peter Latz + Partner. In 1994, the park was opened to the public.

Sorry for the lack of Sandy pics! I was super sick and then my cat caught my house on fire. My house and critters are fine. The fire was localized to the kitchen and was put out quick by the FD. It's just been a mess to get handled.

According to the weight tape, Sandy is around ~890 lbs. She GAINED weight over the last part of winter and she actually has a topline now! She will be getting her spring vet check on the 30th. That will be the day when I can ask the vet if she's fit enough to ride.

In prep for potential riding, I splurged and got a fancy bareback pad and I'm going to get a new bit and reins for the bridle I'm cleaning up to use. Even if she isn't cleared for riding, I'll still tack her up to do exercises to keep her stimulated.

We have been seeing a big influx of memes and non Pic posts. This is a reminder that this community is meant for Pics which is just that - pictures taken with a camera. Any non Pic posts will be taken down and frequent infracture of that rule will lead to a temp ban.

We have also been seeing an uptick on Violent posts and manifestos. This is not the community for this type of post. No violent, NSFW posts are allowed. These will lead to an immediate temp ban. I understand with tensions today that people are rightfully upset about society, but there are other communities that allow such posts.

Any questions feel free to reply to this post or DM me. Happy posting.

^ .png of the RAW file since it wouldnt upload at full quality..

This is a long exposure taken with my Galaxy S22 ultra using the Expert RAW astrophotography mode. I think this one was 7 minutes long. The glow on the horizon is due to the epic levels of light pollution coming from Phoenix, which is nearly 100 miles south!
