Lunging your horse is a great workout, and it helps to reinforce your horse's training. While there are no set guidelines for how often to lunge your horse, 2-3 times a week is a good guideline, especially if you can't ride every day. This will help keep your horse in good shape, and it will improve the bond between you and your horse, since you'll be spending quality time giving it instruction.  You may also want to lunge your horse before you ride it, especially if it's been a while since your last ride. This can help remind your horse of some of its training basics, and it can help get the horse in a compliant mindset before you mount up. If your horse hasn't exercised in a while, start by lunging 1-2 times a week, then work your way up as the horse gets more comfortable.

summary: Lunge your horse 2-3 times a week for 20 minutes at a time.

For this process, you are going to need black tea, water, and a thickening agent (either gum arabic or cornstarch). Some recipes also call for vinegar, which can make your ink a bit more uniform in color. You will also need a few measuring spoons, a metal or wooden spoon, a strainer (if using loose tea), and a ceramic bowl. Finally, if you intend to bottle your ink, you’ll need a small glass bottle with a screw-top lid.  Gum Arabic can be found at most craft stores. Everything else may be found at a grocery store. If your black tea is in mesh tea bags, you are going to use 4 of them. If you are using loose-leaf tea, you will need about 2 tbsp. Place the measured tea into a large ceramic bowl. For this recipe, you will need ½ to ¾ cups of boiling water. Place your water on the stove, or use an electric kettle to heat your water to boiling. It is a good idea to measure your water before heating it up, that way you reduce the risk of scalding yourself. Take your boiling water (which has already been measured) and pour it carefully over your tea bags or tea leaves in the ceramic bowl. Using your wooden or metal spoon, swirl the boiling water with the tea leaves. This helps to evenly distribute the water and tea to create an even ink tone. As this is only a preliminary “steep” before adding thickening agents (or other ingredients), you only need to allow 3-4 minutes of steeping. You want the tea to darken a bit, but you need the water to still be hot when you add the next ingredient. You may want to keep your water on low heat during this step.

summary: Gather materials. Measure your tea. Boil water. Add boiling water to tea leaves. Stir. Allow it to steep briefly.

A cat’s scratching is a normal defensive behavior, and punishing a cat for scratching can lead to further aggression in the future. You can trim a cat’s claws at home with regular nail clippers.  Clipping a cat’s claws once a week can minimize damage from future scratches. Try not to play roughly or aggressively with your cat or kitten. This may encourage them to bite and scratch you and other humans. Most cats outgrow excessive biting and scratching once they pass from a juvenile to an adult cat, between 1 and 2 years of age. If you are sensitive to cat scratches or are immuno-compromised, you should consider adopting an older cat as a pet instead of a kitten.
summary: Do not punish a cat for scratching you. Clip your cat’s claws. Avoid rough play. Adopt an older cat.
