Thread III: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1311311/posts |

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.
OK, but you know that means I have to walk clear out to the barn:)

You should just never go anywhere without the camera.
The line:
The one up high:
Becky
Look like kick marks to you?
Becky
What a brat! Does he strike with his front's maybe? And that's why they're upside down?
LOL>
Well, I've never seem him do that. Usually when he acts studdy he runs over to a wall or the panels, as long as there is no hot wire:) and leans hard on it with his side, with his neck all bowed up. I've never seen him strike.
But you think they're kicks?? How did that one get so high?
Becky
How far away from the wall is the hot wire?
Maybe the one that is so high was another cause... maybe running around actin studly he kicked a rock up there.
Not very far. We just have those short insulaters there. But the wire is not touching, it should be hot, I'm not touching it:)
Becky
It does look a little different doesn't it. I noticed that when I went out to take the pictures. I just can't figure out why he stated doing it. That part of the barn is the back of Rusty's stall. Rusty was probably on the other side saying nana nana booboo:)
Becky
~chuckling at "nana nana booboo"~
Becky
How high is it?
That is too close, maybe two or three feet away would be better. I use a one hundred mile fence line charger. It gets their attention in a hurry.
Becky
I've wanted to put those longer ones one there, but it is real hard to drive a nail in that tin, and I didn't want to dent it up:)
Becky
That is such a great pic!
It's about 8 ft high.
Becky
That's so sad... Really. What a brat.
I think it makes him look like a llama or something:) Goofy horse.
