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.

Probably a good idea, I've seen a horse drag a trailer all the way across my mom's front yard before, because it wasn't hooked up, twice. Mom wasn't to happy about the ruts that made in her yard.

You don't know how much I'm dreading trailor training. I've seriously though about beer for Okie and wine coolers for me before loading. If he likes it, hey I'll even put him a keg up front if he will just get in :')
To: Superdoot
Just funny the way you said it. "We got to gut kick him"
Oh, I can't breath.

I dont' think you'll have that much trouble with a more open trailer. Stock or slant. Just run the rope thru the side window and get a long pole and tap him above his tail, just like you saw Joe do. He was getting in and out of mine with no problem, Your trailer was just a little more closed in. If he hadn't had to be taken so far the first time, you problably wouldn't have had so much trouble the next day.
The most important thing is once you start working you can't quit till he gets in even if it takes all day and night. Don't stop. Something I don't know if we told you, before you even start getting him in the trailer, lunge the devil out of him, lunge him till his tongue is dragging the ground.
