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, there is. I'm thinking that Becky might have something there when she said he might have kicked up a rock. Bizzare. (I think that it was Becky that said this)
Yeah I can't sleep either. Not feeling so hot, so I'm puttering around FR. I really can't leave the horse thread for too long at night. I miss way too much. :-)

I wouldn't say flu-ish sick. Just... don't really know really. But I should be ok once I crash. :-)

You mean he didn't show up like he was supposed to today? The bugger! I hate having to wait on other people.

I used to think horses were graceful. They really aren't. They are always getting banged up.

"Ok, you guys'll have to humor a soft east coster like me, but what on earth is bushoging??"

It is a grass/weed mower mounted on back of a farm tractor and used to mow back tall pasture grass with. Think of a lawn mower mounted on back of a farm tractor and you get the general idea. It is powered by a shaft, PTO (power take off), that connects to the back of a farm tractor.

Good Morning!

Hair, any chance the mower will show today?

Cindy, good luck today.

Beaker, hope your feeling better today. I'm going to keep my eye on the barn and see if any more dings show up.

centaur, did you get any pictures, or have trouble posting them?

No riding for me today. Church, and by the time I get home for there it will be to hot.

Becky

"We have lots and lots of rock"

Good morning!

I can't believe that you did not use those rocks for your home and farm buildings. Just think of the pasture fences you could have built. : )

Mornin,
Got to get moving. I've started going to a different church just in the mornings and it takes awhile to get the boys ready. It's been really cloudy and rainy so hopefully it won't be too hot today.

We have a pile at our lake lot in NW Texas. We are going to use them with concrete to make a retaining wall and fence posts. People keep "borrowing" them though :')

Lots of piles of rocks on the sides of my pastures. Over the years farmers have placed them there out of the way while plowing. Hope to use them someday. : )
