The majestic specimen you see here is a Gypsy Vanner horse—also known as a Gypsy Cob, Irish Cob, or Tinker.

@LindseyPelas Everyone needs a shoulder to lean on once in awhile.

“However [political parties] may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion.”

@JessicakesJ33 I had a similar experience though with a much less serious issue, a torn meniscus. I still had pain much later after surgery, which he then blamed on arthritis. I knew that was wrong. I got a second opinion who showed my why the surgeon was wrong and who put me on the right path.

@VailaMercer Yes. Seems like most people who lift heavy have or have had shoulder issues. I started going lighter while increasing reps. Not as fun 😞

@glimpses_rachel Yummy ❤️

@SundaeDivine Never saw that before. Thanks!

@VailaMercer That’s hard, but I’ll go with leg press.

Bison are back in the Chihuahuan Desert, roughly 160 years after they were wiped out there.

44 were released into a reserve near Cuatro Ciénegas, Coahuila in late 2025. It's the third bison reintroduction in Mexico since 2009, and most of the animals trace back to the first one: 23 bison trucked down from Wind Cave National Park in South Dakota and released into the Janos Biosphere Reserve in Chihuahua.

Bison used to range across Sonora, Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nuevo León and Durango. Decades of hunting and habitat destruction ended that. They're listed as endangered in Mexico now.

They get called ecosystem engineers. They graze in a way that keeps grassland from turning into shrub. They churn soil with their hooves so rain soaks in instead of running off. They wallow, and the depressions hold water. They shed enormous quantities of fur that birds line their nests with. And when one dies, it feeds a chain of scavengers that had nothing that size to eat for a century and a half.

The stated aim is soil regeneration, rainwater retention, and completing a food chain that lets pumas and black bears function in that landscape again.

You don't restore a grassland just by planting grass. You restore it by putting back the animal that made the grassland possible.

@Colonel_Myway Likewise. Always good
