mine are all horse related haha sorry.
next weekend (well more like this week in general) i just bought a whole bunch of new bits for my horse so i can hone in on what she likes a little better. some with the same mouthpiece but different cheek pieces, slight variations of the same mouthpiece, and even a gel bit. the gel bit is being delivered today and the others shouldn't be too far behind so we've got some work to do. she goes well in her current bit but it was only the 2nd one i ever tried on her so i feel like i owe it to her to let her try some others.
this month we've got practice on the 17th for a western gaming show my barn is hosting in october. my mare and i are not seriously competing at the show because she's too old for small fast circles and i ride english now anyway but we'll try the games out at a snail's pace for fun and laughs :) i can't figure out what would be better: if i did western games in my english tack, or if i should drag my western stuff out of retirement so my horse and i look the part and then do really poorly at the games either way. i'm not comfortable riding in my western saddle anymore (it would take some time to get used to having long stirrups) so i am really partial to sticking to my english tack. decisions...
this season: i'm ready for the cool air to move in (hoodie season
) and push the bugs out, and also for the leaves to change colors. fall trail riding is the best!

i've recently found myself missing and crying over a person i broke up with over 2 years ago. it was a really bad breakup and neither of us wanted to break up, but circumstances pulled us apart permanently. i didn't really process it at the time (i never do).

@Aisukohi: no worries, i totally get it. crickets scare me more than the spiders. i hate dealing with them. a lot of people won't feed roaches because they're afraid so you're not alone :)
you never have to feed roaches if you don't want to. they're just one of the easy feeders so people tend to keep those in conjunction with the spiders. you can absolutely stick to crickets forever, and those are easy enough to grab from any pet store if you don't want to keep them in your home. i didn't keep feeders in my home for yeaaaars.
the way people handle it with crickets is just to throw in a bunch of them at once. a big spider can handle more than 1 or 2 on their fangs. if it's still grabbing them, keep throwing in more! take out any it doesn't grab.

@Aisukohi: most terrestrial species are good anywhere between 65 and 85, and definitely never use heat lamps/mats/anything like that! people accidentally cook their spiders that way since the spider can't escape the heat. the best way is to heat the room, not the enclosure - but that's not something to worry about if you keep your home at a normal human temperature. many species are fine in normal human temperatures. just don't get anything that needs high humidity since those are spiders that generally benefit from a hotter room. look for spiders in these genera: grammostola, brachypelma, aponophelma, tliltocatl

@eerie: @Bou: i now have 10!
@Glume: i do too. i try to warn people whenever i'm gonna post them, not just for them but also because i am so sick of the endless "ewww a spider, burn your house down!" responses i get sometimes.
@Count Trashula: @lonelylucid:
haha thank you!
@Bioshock: these babies are all less than 1 year old!
@Amber Lynne: the last one is definitely the most active of the bunch so far. i still don't have names for any of them
@Aisukohi: i would highly recommend a spider - they're SO low maintenance, require absolutely zero personal interaction, don't make any noise, and don't smell. i have to pay way more attention to the crickets and superworms i use to feed my spiders lol.
