The FreeRepublic Saddle Club thread

Posted on 04/26/2004 12:06:41 PM PDT 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?

A few of us thought it would be interesting and informative to have a chat thread where we can 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. We may not ~always~ have a lot of activity, but when we do, it will be fun. I will put 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 will also develop a ping list for horse threads that are of interest. 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.

I am hoping this thread will be a 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.

Yeah, it realy worked nice. Her tail still had a little bit of yellow in it, but she looked like a bay before I gave her a bath, because she was so dirty. I think if I would give her a bath more often it would go back to white.

Mom gave my brother's grey horse a bath one time and she bleached his tail, he realt did glow. The bad thing was that he was going to a ropin that night, and when he got there all the other cowboys gave him a hard time because his momma had givin his horsey a bath.:)

Charlie told mom not to give his horse baths anymore before a ropin.

That's funny :')I spent a lot of time trying to scrub Okies dirt spots off with his first bath before I realized the white hair was clean and it was his spots showing thru. He's a typical little boy though. He does not like his hair washed. I start scrubbing that mane and I get the "eye"

That detangler stuff is magic though. It used to take me forever to brush his tail before I got me some. Worth ever penny.

Know what you mean. When I'm giving Rocky a bath he does the same thing. Altho he doesn't like his butt washed. I've usualy got to put him next to the trailer so he can't swing away from me. I think Dot's going to be the same way, she doesn't like her butt sprayed with anything.

I just talked to her on the phone and she's watching the last ER of the season. She said she'd be back after that.

I've always wondered why they don't like baths. I'd think it would feel good to them. I know my head always feels better after a good shampoo, and they get a lot sweatier then we do. Plus rolling in the dirt to dry off.

Sorry, I had a post after that. I was telling you that the detangler stuff makes Rocky's tail feel like silk.

Yeah, it also works on their feet too. Karen Sparks use to use that all the time. I can't remember why, but after she used it for awhile mom didn't like it. I think it started drying something out, but I can't remember if it was the feet or the hair. Have to ask her.

Okie doesn't mind his butt washed as long as I don't go any lower. I tell you what's weird though. I spray him with bug spray on his left side first. He just boredly cocks his head back to see what's going on but when I go to his right side he perks up and will try to scoot away. Silly horse:')
