The FreeRepublic Saddle Club thread

[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.

I wish he was around tonight.... he'd either get a kick out of this, or wanna throttle me ;~D

[CindyDawg]

LOL. From his posts I think he would get a kick out of it:')

[HairOfTheDog]

Well, my beloved husband wants to watch Rambo movie that just started.... so they all have their flaws ;~D

[CindyDawg]

[CindyDawg]

[ecurbh]

Hey, if I can make it through Steel Magnolias ~and~ Beaches ~and~ Fried Green Tomatoes, I think she can survive the occassional Rambo or James Bond movie.

[HairOfTheDog]

I guess that seems fair. :~D

[CindyDawg]

Yeah. Sounds fair to me. I lean more towards Mel Gibson, Bruce Willis , Steven Segal movies. Oh and Star trek :')

[HairOfTheDog]

Well, I have to admit, ~Beaches~ was a little over the top :~D

Good night!

"Pre- good morning all:') Been up since about 2 and no one to talk to :'("

Ah, you just can't wait to get out there and milk the cows, slop the hogs and feed the chickens, can you? : )

[Inge_CAV]

"Hmm.... OK, that's a place to start! How do you feel about draft horses and rusty old trucks?"

I love draft horses and rusty old trucks. Especially rusty old trucks with a healthy dose of "Attitude."

[Beaker]

Well, you've come to the right place. :-)

[Beaker]

Mornin' Becky

Looks like its gonna be a glorious three days here in the northeast and I'm hoping to ride everything in the pasture at least once. hehe. If I don't take advantage of the days off, I won't be able to ride at all in the next two weeks with my hellish schedule.

Enjoy the weekend.
