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 MissTargets will now be pinging everyone most mornings. Let MissTargets 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.

New folk and occasional posters, jump right in and introduce yourselves, tell us about your horses, and post pictures if you've got them!
Dare I ask what kind of dogs? That sounds like something my little ones would do.
Back later - I have to pay bills, I've put it off all weekend. Cindy, have fun and stay safe.
Good grief, I bet that scared you half to death.
I'm putting the rugrats to bed and hitting the sack. Have fun on your trip and stay safe!!! Post some pics when you get to Vegas....
Play on the word "time"? Her mother was a maiden mare?
hehehehe....what about Minute Maid? ;-)
(Kidding, of course.)
I'll post pics of them when I get home.
A friend just called me and said, she's so petite and dainty, how about CJ? I don't quite know how one relates to the other but CJ sounds okay, don't you think?
Okay. Have fun and now that I've heard about the pups, really - Stay Safe :)
One of the sweetest, kindest horses I've ever known was named "CJ".
Hey Becky, they are hollering for pictures on that farrier site.
One farrier suggested an auto-immune disorder could be tuffy's problem but I looked up the one she suggested and it ain't it. He doesn't have any symptoms of "pemphigus", the illness mentioned.
I used a different name because the screen name here is actually the name Mack picked out, I've always just posted under that name.
I tried to use a name I used on another forum, but I used the e-mail address from our webtv and then found out you have to go to the e-mail and click a link from there to start posting. Our webtv doesn't work well anymore so I couldn't do that so had to start all over:(.
Becky
I haven't figured out how to post pictures there yet????
Becky
What I did was use my yorkphoto pics. I copy and pasted the URL, put it on the "reply" page and it created a link. Just do it the same way you do on FR but leave off the stuff we use to post pics here.
Oh, well I figured out if you push that little icon about the posting box that looks like a mountain with the sun, it formats it for you. I guess the edit button on the reply allows you to delete it if the pictures take too long to load for some, I guess:).
Becky
I had a lot of trouble figuring that site out, it's confusing. I still haven't figured out some stuff.
Did you see that one doofus that was yelling at me? "OATS? WHY ARE YOU FEEDING HIM OATS?" Well, the vet didn't have a problem with the tiny amount I was feeding him but dang, I thought that farrier was gonna wet her pants.
Hi Hair,
Please remove me from the saddle club ping list. Nothing personal, just don't have time to participate.
Best regards,
Cuttnhorse
I'm just now getting ready to go read some more of the posts on your thread. i just read Hair's. HMMMMMMMMMMMM, might just be a bunch of know it all, arrogant, farriers, who like to hear them selves talk shop but don't explain WHY:).
I may have to stay away from there. They'll just give me more to worry about then I already do, and I think trying to "fix" things is why I'm in the mess I'm in now.
Becky
I like the ring to CJ. :-)
Cold and snow for a Monday.
USA Horse Lover, was the trail ride on your trip?
Did you see post 156?
It's not to you, but you'll need it:)
Good morning:)
Becky
