HEYY there’s a part of a violin bow called a frog. And a part of a horse’s hoof called a frog.

I guess people just think the word “frog” is cool.

@rae

I KNOW IT I KNOW IT I KNOW IT!!!!!! *jumps in the air and waves hand*

@highscribeofaetherium

Ummmmmmmmmm idk.

@rae

The tree is the base of the saddle. Western saddle trees are made out of wood, and English saddles are made out of plastic/synthetic materials so they’re considerably lighter.

Technically a tree does go over the withers, but it goes over the horse’s back too. So if you want to be more specific it’s called the gullet.

@rae

Australian.

@rae

Isn’t it the gullet?

@rae @jonas @highscribeofaetherium

Another horse quiz:

What are the three styles of riding?

@rae

Oops. You tagged Jonas….so was I not supposed to answer it? sorry XD

@rae

Hmm. Girth, right? (Or cinch in western terminology)

@highscribeofaetherium

Exactly. Though yours is somewhat related to your writing…and mine is so RANDOM…..chickens??????

@highscribeofaetherium

To be fair, I did have to Google “obscure sword terminology” to come up with Ricasso. But yeah, it’s an obsession XD

lol

@highscribeofaetherium @jonas

Most people have an obsession, but it usually isn’t chickens.

@jonas

lol! I’ve just never had any desire to learn about swords XD

Though if you asked me anything about CHICKENS…or DOGS…or HORSES….I could tell you anything you wanted to know lol

@highscribeofaetherium

How do you know so much about swords???

@jonas

Yeah, that’s what was kind of funny about it lol

@jonas

2/3 of them did, anyway.

@smiley

I can relate to this more than I can say!!! and it’s so hard, I’ve tried talking to my small group about it but none of them are really writers and it’s just really hard

Yeah. It’s so hard because no one understands how hard it is being a writer unless they are one, and no one really understands what we’re going though!

I love how the swords keep naming the elk for their owners XD

@beth-torres @hybridlore

I never really thought of OCD like that before. Now reading what you guys go through, I actually might have it, because you just described how I feel about my writing. Idk.

@jonas

You got that? Ottoline is now in possession of a red crystal sword. Use it wisely!

I’ll try XD

Let’s hope Marcurious doesn’t try to take it for himself lol
