May the Fourth be with you!

Star Wars histology from top left, clockwise:
1. The Graafian follicle Death Star
In a galaxy far, far away an intergalactic superweapon is halted in metaphase II of meiosis amid a surge in Luteinizing Hormone.
2. Jabba the Corpus Albicans
“makingsa lee ka bok pateesa… beeska chata wnow kong bantha poodoo”
(translation) “you may have been a good friend..but now you are bantha fodder”
The corpus albicans is a structure in the ovary that is formed when the corpus luteum regresses.
3. Tusken Raider in the Liver
Despite what you see here, Tusken Raiders are not native to the human liver. If you think that, then you are making a wookie mistake.
The image is actually a portal triad and demonstrates the major structures that enter and leave the liver: hepatic artery, hepatic portal vein and bile duct.
4. The Empire Strikes Back (at the Liver)
Liver histology is definitely where it’s At-At!
A region of connective tissue among the hepatocytes in the liver.

100 Days of Productivity Challenge (2/100)
05/17
i was able to get to the library today! i also ran to go grab some dog food after getting some work done and saw the cutest dogs so that was definitely another plus :)
i still haven't gotten used to not having constant access to somewhere i could go to get work done and not be interrupted in the way i could back at school. the library was open until midnight every weekday but there were also several places to eat on campus that had booths and tables for us to sit and do work or i could even go to the first or fourth floor of my dorm building since classes were held there too during the day. i definitely miss that freedom and the ability to get places without relying on a car. in general, i have found that i miss the whole school environment and find new things every day that had helped me with my mental health without me even being aware. things as simple as the dining halls being open at only certain times and not being within my building forcing me to get out of bed at better hours and to get outside if i wanted a meal.
goals of today
start analysis of scholarly article assignment
lab reports
double check companion animal report
draft email
keep an eye on your goals and have a reason behind any action you take, even if it's a simple one. live with purpose and you find yourself feeling more fulfilled.
I'm proud of you.

So you want to write about horses.
Part 2 now out!
Or you're writing and horses show up. Or its a pre-industrial fantasy and your characters have to get somewhere. Or you have a faint idea of your MC's love interest showing up on a white stallion.
Whatever the cause, you're writing, and a horse appears. But you know nothing about horses. I can help.
This is a horse. Horses come in many sizes.
^ Big Jake, a Belgian Draft horse, and a roughly 5 foot woman for scale.
1 hand = 4 inches = 10.16 cm
Once a horse is smaller than about 14.2hh, it is generally considered a pony. In the modern day, ponies are not considered suitable for adult riders due to weight and height issues. Some pony breeds, such as Welsh, Fjords, ect. are known for being sturdy, and can more easily carry adult sized humans. Miniature horses should never be ridden by adults.
^The only suitable 'riding' a miniature horse should do
The above graphic mentions that horses are measured from the top of the withers, not the top of the head. But, what are withers?
The withers are where the horse's shoulders meet the spine, and the neck becomes the back. Withers are incredibly important for saddle placement, as a badly placed saddle in this area can prevent a horse from moving its legs properly, cause a large amount of pain, and even damage a horse's spine. Speaking of spines, this is a horse skeleton, with the withers pointed out.
Horses have four legs. Horses cannot have any fewer than four legs. They are obligate quadrupeds. This is, in part, due to their weight, as well as the construction of their legs and hooves. This is to say, that while cats, dogs, and other animals can be amputees, a horse, short of some incredible magic solution, cannot. Even a broken leg bone will cause a huge amount of problems, as all of the weight that leg would usually hold must be shifted to the other feet, and this causes a condition called laminitis, where the tissue that holds together the hoof and the toe bone becomes inflamed, and begins to separate. Once this happens, the hoof tissue dies from lack of blood, and the bone begins to rotate. This is extremely painful for the horse, and so often the best solution for a horse with a broken leg is to be spared that pain. Famous American racehorse Barbaro experienced a complex broken bone, which began to heal fine, but complications from laminitis in two of his other legs caused him to be put down. This is why media will almost always show a horse with a broken or injured leg being 'taken care of'.
^Barbaro, in his prime. Even the best veterinary medicine couldn't save him.
Now, racehorses like Barbaro are moving at the fastest speed and the fastest gait of the horse, the gallop. The patterns that horses move their feet are referred to as gaits, with most horses having four, with some breeds having five or more.
The first gait and the slowest is the walk. In the walk, all four feet move independently, which leads it to be called a four-beat gait, as the footfalls make a sort of drumbeat on the ground.
The next gait is the trot, a two beat gait with diagonal pairs of legs moving together.
^Diagonal pairs marked in red and blue
The trot is a very bouncy experience for the rider, and can be uncomfortable. Some riders will rise and fall with a pair of diagonal legs, called a posting trot, some will stand in their stirrups, called a two-point or jump position, and some will sit the trot, which requires a lot of core strength (seriously, if you want a strong core, screw the gym)
The third gait is the canter, a three-beat gait with a single diagonal pair. This gait is ridden sitting, and feels a lot like going over waves on a jetski. There is a rise, a scoop, and a fall feeling. The canter is also called a lope in Western riding, they are the same gait.
^diagonal pair marked in red
A gallop is sometimes considered a variation on canter, as it is similar save for the legs actually moving in a four-beat pattern. As you can see with the image of Barbaro, all four of his feet are moving in different patterns, at different times, even though the gallop is really a four beat version of the canter. Riders in the gallop rise off the horse's back into a raised position, which allows the horse to use the full length of its spine and musculature to get as much reach and speed as possible. It feels like riding on top of a train barreling down the tracks, at least until your horse takes an unexpected turn and the ground is suddenly the only thing you're riding.
^ I've been there. The trick is to push away and hit the ground rolling, it hurts less that way. And don't land on your head.
That's all for this post. I'll have more when I feel like it, and send me questions if you want to know more about specific things or need a writing question answered
