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.
Good morning to you too. Getting ready to do some office work:(, then I'll ride Harley, this morning and Rusty this afternoon. 
 
My neighbor is ~suppose~ to come this evening:), lol. 
 
Becky
Well, we'll just see about that!
Morning :')
Well good morning! Glad you could join us ;~D .... been quiet, guess Becky is still riding. We run in spurts.
My lunch break about over. Thought I would just check in. A beautiful day here to ride. I wish I didn't have to work. I love Sabaths (saturdays):')
I thought you had new pic(s) of Okie to post last night....
I don't have a digital. I have to get them developed first. My camera in Japan. My cam corder in Florida. Kids!:')
Oh - Well I am ~way~ too impatient for ~that~!
I haven't got to ride yet:(, still in the training process of doing the office work, double:(. Done for the day, but have to run to town now, so I will 100% ride this evening. Flies are terrible right now, and I'm out of spray, going to pick some up while in town. 
 
Becky
Ok I'm done. Got to run. Check back with yall about 9 :')

MY wedding shoooooooes!
Ain't they cute?
I sewed the flowers on myself! ~grins~
AWWWWWWW. Got any pics of the dress? :')
Those are cute. My daughter wore tennis shoes under her wedding dress:) Very practical.

It's a beach wedding with a little LoTR, a little hawaii, a little Jimmy Buffett... Very casual and on the sand...
My thoroughbred horse won again last Tuesday 5/11/04.
The mile race was at River Downs in Cincinnati.
 We will be at Churchill Downs by he next week, after I study the race condition book for entry.
That is really pretty. Are you going to get married on the deck or the beach?
Are horses allowed on the beach? It would be cool to ride away on horseback:')
Thanks! You have a racehorse? - Tell us about it and post pics, I'd love to know about it!
