Summarize the following:
Let your friend know how much you care about them and that you are happy that you two are friends. This will make your friend feel like they are valued and important to you. Be specific and tell your friend the things that you like about them. You may tell your friend that you like their laugh, their sense of humor, their smile, or their kindness. The positive attributes you describe can be big or small. Just be genuine. Your friend may be surprised by how you view them. Trying new things can help your friend find talents and skills that they are good at and begin think more positively. Suggest activities that your friend may like. If you are comfortable, you can offer to try the new activity with your friend. Some new activities may be joining a new club at school, volunteering for a local charity, or taking an art class. Be sure to encourage your friend no matter the outcome. If they are successful or if they do not get it right at first, be encouraging. Celebrate the small victories with your friend. Tell your friend, "I am so proud of you for ___" or "It's great that you tried ____." Positive feedback includes praise, encouragement, and recognition of something your friend has done. It helps improve confidence and can be a source of motivation. Not only are you telling your friend that they are important and valuable, you are teaching them how to acknowledge their accomplishments. For example, if your friend did well on an assignment, you may say, "You did such a good job on your assignment." If your friend helped you with something, you may say, "Thanks for helping me. It means a lot." You may hear your friend being critical or saying negative things about themselves. Never join in if your friend is saying negative things about him or herself. Remind your friend that speaking this way will only make them feel badly about themselves. You can also help your friend focus on something more positive if he or she starts to get negative. For example, you might say something like, "I don't think so. I have always thought you are a very attractive person, not only because of the way you present yourself, but because of all your attributes. If your friend says, "I look so ugly today," then you may say, "I don't think so." Friends are there to support and help each other, but friends are also people that we can have fun with. Having fun with your friend will help your friend focus on more positive things. Also, your entire friendship should not be about you trying to make your friend feel better. You can have fun doing many things like listening to music, watching movies, going to the park, reading magazines together, or eating good food together. Anything that gets both of you to laugh will do the trick.

summary: Compliment your friend. Encourage your friend to try new things. Give positive feedback. Discourage negativity. Have fun with your friend.

Using a measuring tape, measure the height, length and width of the chair as a whole. Take these measurements carefully. If you're spending your hard-earned money on a slipcover, you will want it to fit well. Slipcovers are available at most stores and websites carrying home furniture and decorating items. Most slipcovers range in price from about $20 to as much as $150, depending on the material of the slipcover and the size of the chair. Have your measurements handy as you shop because most slipcovers will be advertised as fitting certain sizes of chair. If you're shopping at a brick and mortar store and need help choosing the right size slipcover, talk to an employee. When in doubt, buy a slipcover slightly bigger than you think you'll need. You can always pull, sew, and trim a slipcover to make it smaller, but it's difficult to make a slipcover bigger. For maximum durability, pick a slipcover made from a fairly sturdy fabric, like denim, thicker cotton/hemp blends, canvas, or twill. Before putting on the new slipcover, you'll want to remove any excess dirt and dust from your chair. It's also beneficial to periodically remove the slipcover and vacuum the chair again before replacing it to prevent the chair from getting musty underneath its cover. After pulling the slipcover on, go around the chair and tuck the fitted edges of the cover into folds around the seat. Pull and tie any strings or ribbons on the front or back of the cover. These ties are added to keep the slipcover tight and secured in place. Use a tight knot, but not one that's too tight to undo, as your slipcover may change size and shape slightly with repeated use and washing.

summary: Measure your chair. Go shopping for slipcovers. Vacuum the chair. Pull the slipcover over the chair.

Your horse's nutritional needs will vary according to the amount of fresh grass she has consumed while out to pasture and the level of activity she has had. Evaluate your horse's needs every day to determine whether to subtract or add from her regular feeding amounts. If your horse has been out to pasture all day and has been eating lots of grass, she will not require as much hay. If your horse has had a hard workday with lots of riding, then you will need to provide more food to help replenish the extra calories she burned. Don't feed your horse right before or right after she has finished doing something strenuous because blood flow will be diverted away from her organs and that can interfere with digestion. Plan feedings around your horse's scheduled activity. If your horse will be doing something extra strenuous, schedule her feeding for three hours before the activity. If you need to change your horse's feed, do not just switch to the new feed. Start by replacing 25% of the old feed with the new feed. In two days, replace 50% of the old feed with the new feed. Two days after that, replace 75% of the old feed with the new feed. Then two days after that you will be able to give your horse 100% new feed. In addition to making food changes gradually, you should also feed your horse at about the same time every day. Horses perform better when they have a regular feeding schedule. Making drastic changes to your horse's feed or feeding schedule can lead to equine colic and founder. Equine colic is a condition that causes severe abdominal pain and may even require surgery. Founder is a condition that causes poor circulation and can even lead to the separation of the hoof from the foot. Founder is often fatal.
summary: Adjust your horse's food intake as needed. Schedule feedings for an hour before or after you have ridden your horse. Make gradual changes to your horse's diet.
