https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFn_iAcn768Questions answered in this episode:
1. My Dutch WB is 17.3 and 1500 pounds. We live in Central Florida where the summers can be brutally hot and humid. He is 18 years old and has been in work most of his life as a jumper for years and now dressage. He has always sounded a bit heavy breathed after working for about 30 minutes but seems to recover afterward. My trainer says that’s just him and he’s fine. I’m often scheduled for training later in the morning or even afternoons and have passed on the lesson for fear it will be hard on him. But I feel like everyone thinks I’m babying him too much. How much should I push him in the heat? With summer just around the corner I’m already stressed.
2. If you have a beginner’s eye and need to look at conformation, what’s the first thing a vet will look at for soundness?
3. I was wondering what your opinion is on body clipping a horse in March/April? I have a 13hh pony that grows a fairly thick coat and it's just too much work for me to wait till he sheds it all, plus it increases drying time after exercising. Love the videos, keep it up!!
4. What are the symptoms of copper deficiency? Are rose colored spots on skin not covered by hair (on the inner rear legs near the abdomen) one of them? What is the best way to correct that deficiency?
5. Cellulitis... and how to bring more circulation to the legs.
About the Site 🌐
This site provides links to random videos hosted at YouTube, with the emphasis on random. 🎥
Origins of the Idea 🌱
The original idea for this site stemmed from the need to benchmark the popularity of a video against the general population of YouTube videos. 🧠
Challenges Faced 🤔
Obtaining a large sample of videos was crucial for accurate ranking, but YouTube lacks a direct method to gather random video IDs.
Even searching for random strings on YouTube doesn't yield truly random results, complicating the process further. 🔍
Creating Truly Random Links 🛠️
The YouTube API offers additional functions enabling the discovery of more random videos. Through inventive techniques and a touch of space-time manipulation, we've achieved a process yielding nearly 100% random links to YouTube videos.
