The FreeRepublic Saddle Club thread - Thread THREE!

Posted on 12/30/2004 7:01:16 PM PST by HairOfTheDog

Free Republic has a lot of horse people that have found each other on other threads…. And since we all like to talk horses, how about a thread where it is not off-topic, but is THE topic?

This is a horse chat thread where we share ideas, ask for input from other horsemen, and talk about our riding and horse-keeping. We have a lot of different kinds of riders and horses, and a lot to share. In the previous threads we have had a great time talking through lessons, training, horse lamenesses, illnesses and pregnancies... and always sharing pictures and stories.

I always have a link to this thread on my profile page, so if you have something to say and can't find the thread in latest posts… look for it there and wake the thread up!

I also have a ping list for horse threads that are of interest, and Becky pings everyone most mornings. Let Becky (Paynoattentionmanbehindthecurtain) and/or me know if you would like to be on the ping list. As FreeRepublic is a political site, our politics and other issues will probably blend in…. There are many issues for horsemen that touch politics… land use, animal rights/abuse cases that make the news…. Legislation that might affect horse owners.

So... like the previous threads, this is intended as fun place to come and share stories, pictures, questions and chit-chat, unguided and unmoderated and that we come together here as friends. There are lots of ways of doing things and we all have our quirks, tricks and specialties that are neat to learn about.

wrapped that one strap with baling wire where it crossed the poll.

OWEEEEE! I am sure that did it.
Once in awhile the gelding would test it, but the halter never failed.

Good to know about them halters.... the only thing I've tried once is the line up through the halter and around the girth. That horse pulled till he went down anyhow.

You'd think I was some kind of animal abuser:). That dog live to be about 11, and died from a kick in the head from a horse. Now if they had a shot for that, I might think about it:)



LOL There is a shot for that, it's called a 12 gauge. (just kidding)

My daughter has a friend whose grandma keeps her horses. Grandma got a new little dog that they let chase the horses, dog gets kicked and needs some surgery. Who do they get mad at? You guessed it, the horse. duhhhh
