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.

Who sent me morning sunshine this morning:)

The same one that gut kicks horses.:)

[Superdoot]

What's TOS???

[PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain]

I don't think she'll go there. I already warned her about it. Her and Kristy were shocked the other day when I told them it had gotten to rough even for me.

Becky

[CindyDawg]

That's something only your momma should talk to you about :')

[Superdoot]

Is that the new thread dad's been on??

[PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain]

ROFLOL

Becky

[PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain]

Yeah, and it's kind of a no no to talk about it over here because it's not just another thread it's a whole other web site, kind of a competitor.

Oh, I forgot to tell you that we won't be able to eat with you guys tomorrow. I've got to pre train in the morning and work the night shift, so Travis will probably just go home after work.

[Superdoot]

Gotcha! Mums the word.:)

[PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain]

You gut kicking heathen:)

Will miss you.

Becky

[Superdoot]

OH. MY GOSH! Time flies when you're having fun. If I don't go to bed now I won't be able to get up tomorrow. I'd better go. I sure wish a body didn't need so much sleep. Talk at you tomorrow.

[CindyDawg]

Tell me what the advantage would be to pasture Okie. He's out 5 hrs a day already. I'm having second thoughts.

[Superdoot]

You gut kicking heathen

LOL:)

[PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain]

24-5=19

19 hours standing in a stall doing nothing. He is a young horse who has NEVER been kept in a stall.

Why second thoughts?

[Superdoot]

He gets to be a horse, and since he can run around and play he'd be less likely to be an idiot for you. IMO

[PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain]

Nite:)

[PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain]

Stalled horse also pick up some real nasty habits like cribbing, weaving, eating wood, because of boredom.

Becky

[Superdoot]

Yeah, and you DON"T want a cribber.
