Oxidized Copper Is Such A Beautiful Color Palette. The Rich Reds With The Cool Teals. Such A Vibrant

oxidized copper is such a beautiful color palette. The rich reds with the cool teals. Such a vibrant combo. No one is doing it like her.

More history of Maija and Slim Shady. Maija is a jockey who suffered a severe spinal injury after a horse fell on her over a jump. She has a gorgeous palomino skewbald gelding with a, great, calm personality, named Panda. I'm not sure if she bought him before or after the injury but he was the horse she started riding on again during her recovery. She absolutely adores Panda, so when his young brother came up for sale, she bought him as well. Enter Slim Shady. He was a very nice youngster, but the moment she started training him to carry a rider, things went sideways. No matter how much work she did to prepare him, no matter how wonderful he was on the ground, the moment a rider sat on him, he'd turn into a nightmare murder-beast. She worked for years to try and get him happy to ride. But a vet found something that ended all that. Turns out, Slim Shady has some skeletal abnormality that makes it so that every time he carries someone on his back, it hurts like a motherfucker. So he promptly deposits them on the floor. Fair enough, right? Anyway, despite Slim Shady turning out to be completely unrideable, Maija is very fond of him. It's not his fault he's just not built to be a riding horse, and he's got a great personality otherwise. So because she's lucky enough to have the means, she's kept him as a young retiree and now he's living life as a glorified lawn ornament, annoying his brother and hanging out with his person, while she rides Panda and dotes on both of them.

As much as I love Snoop Dogg watching the horses in the Olympics, I can't help but suspect that the massive promotion of his presence is just a cynical attempt by the FEI to overshadow the coverage of their blatant disregard for horse welfare 😕

@sdequus giving a concerning breakdown of the wellfare issues for horses at the olympics. Equestrian sports are fucking doomed man IDK. The FEI doesn't give a fuck. When it all gets cancelled, they'll only be able to blame themselves.

Hey @lyracalmuse should we hold a wedding for Magnolia (rat) and Sasha (also rat) and make their abusive (rat) marriage official?
