To be honest they scare me still. They are a powerful animal and if they decide that they dont want something done. They will learn soon your just a fly. If your a good rider you can spin them in circles and run them hard along time but that is scary . my parents have really good horses that are broke as can be . I have seen my dad take his rifle and shoot with his gun resting on the saddle. He likes horses for going off trail while moose hunting . he also likes atvs the 6 wheeler polaris is his fav for hunting.

Just with a good trail horse there far more capable than a atv is off trial. They are awesome for swimming across rivers with and going thrue the bush and there is alot of laws in canada where you cant take a motorized vehicle off the trail so many feet.

 

Being all said tho . I dont have the money or time to have a amazing horse that is like a machine. It is far safer,cheaper, easier for me to afford atv .

 

I love horses they are amazing animals capable animals but for them to work for you they have to be a passion of your life and I know they are not a passion of mine.

I don't, but my daughter (11) is active in the local 4H horse group, and her and my wife help take care of a few nearby (feed, brush, ride, etc.). The 4H group head is careful to put young folks only with older/gentler horses, since young, temperamental horses can be very dangerous. Horses are very different than cattle. They form opinions, get jealous, and throw fits.

 

My dad really likes horses, and we had five at one time growing up. That was long ago.

I haven't ridden since I was little at my Aunts farm. My fiance's Mom has like 25 horses, 12 are hers and the rest are borders. I'm allowed to ride when ever I want to but just have no desire...but I do take my 4 wheeler over there and ride on all the horse trails... :D

Like anything else "Go Big or Go Home" we have 5 pasture ornimantes at this time the wife will ride once or twice a month, but I have a two wheel cart that I "drive" with one of our little horses. 4 of ours are Perchrons and one is a Tenn Walking horse. I have carted them all over the place over the years one of ours died at 32 years old, so they can be around a long time with very little care. :jester:

That's way more my style, I can control my fourwheeler. The idea of what youre riding having a mind of it's own scares me.. if it wants to do anything, you're along for the ride. That and they can tell if you're scared...

Its true they can tell if your scared . They can also tell if your a man or a boy . Someone that is a boss and will take control of the situation and will not put up with bullshiat . I have seen some mean horses just like people and will take advantage of a new rider or a timid rider. At the same time tho ive seen nice horses that will be extra good with a younger person that is timid.

My daughter was walking an older 4H horse along w/ my wife, when my youngest (6 at the time) ran underneath his head/neck. His hoof stopped mid air and he held that position until my son was visible. They are very smart. Just like people, behavior is a partly a product of their experiences.

That is true about the behavior is partly a product of their experiences. At the same time it is not tho take someones kids and if they have like 4 kids . One will be timid, one will be out going, one might be a girl and just totally different and the other one might be (insert ) I am a twin and I am way different than my bro and I have know 3 other set of twins and they where way different . Same parents but way different personalities .

To me some people are born with a mean streak and some are not .

      AFM Experience

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Question @diyer2 on this line if you please. Are you saying the shudder is the system turning on and off at the frequency of the shudder? Guess I'm asking if you are saying you have seen it do this with the bi-direction scan tool in graph mode? If so have you been able to discern the 'trigger'. Something is telling to cycle rapidly.    My truck just started doing this recently. 197K on the clock. My response has been M5 anything under 55 mph. I treat it like a lugging stick shift. Gear down and let it spin a bit. Engauge M5, then tow mode and then M6 lets the trans stay in 5th but the AFM is active. Smooth like Skippy.    My thought was that as a machine ages the friction gets lower and as the system is load based, the lower friction would allow it to turn on at ever lower rpm until it reaches the lugging point. And yes I am ignorant of any minimum rpm requirement for the system. If you know that would be useful information.    As you know I run a Scan-Gauge II which allows me to watch the On/Off of the signal to the VLOM. While in the shudder mode I'm not seeing is cycle at that frequency or at all for that matter outside the triggers @newdude posted a few years back. Now is it possible that the refresh rate isn't fast enough to catch it? Maybe. It is why I asked my first question about graphing and trigging parameter.     As we have observed from members here the failure point is all over the map miles wise as you note yourself in your opening post. That by itself begs a few questions like fellows that comment on these lifters failing even after the system has been disabled. Long after. 😬   https://www.enginelabs.com/news/tech-tips-replacing-ls-active-fuel-management-lifters-with-melling/   The Gen5 lifters operate the same as the LS versions. In fact they are the same lifter.    https://www.enginelabs.com/tech-stories/sorting-out-gen-v-lt-lifter-failure-with-a-simple-valvetrain-fix/

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      UPDATE 2: Steering wheel control backlights and control of the cluster can supposedly be achieved by adding a wire to pin 20 of the cluster and tapping it to pin 2 of the main clock spring harness. I'm going to give it a shot - will update

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By newdude · Posted

      GM Global A pickups 2019-2022 can do OTA programming for the radio.  GM VIP (GM Global B) can do OTAs for almost every module on board.  So a 2022.5 and newer pickup can do OTAs for recalls like the 2.7 fuel flow recall.  EVs get OTAs that improve one pedal driving, radio issues, HVAC issues, updated battery management software, etc.     So age of the vehicle/what GM electrical platform its on will alter what amount of updates can be pushed on OTAs.

      Upgrade to a 2026 AT4 with the 3.0L Duramax

      By Blade8971 · Posted

      Thank You.   So far my new ride is making me look like a genius for going with the 3.0L, as my first fuel refill occurred over three weeks from when I took delivery.  This engine combination is very amazing.  So far no issues and had not done a regen yet.

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I am curious as to how much fluid you put back in the transmission ( assuming you had replaced the filter to compare to my findings ) and then went through the process of warming up the trans before pulling the check plug to drain out the excess and if you measured how much came back out.    I just found it surprising that some claimed a certain amount less fluid being put in and then draining some back out. The attitude of the truck as per if the surface is level and how the trucks stance is would make quite a difference since the check plug is right at the front of the transmission.
