*New* The FreeRepublic Saddle Club - Who's Who *pics*
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?
This is a horse chat thread where we 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. In the previous threads we have had a great time talking through lessons, training, horse lamenesses, illnesses and pregnancies... and always sharing pictures and stories.
I always have 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 also have a ping list for horse threads that are of interest, and Becky pings everyone most mornings. Let Becky (Paynoattentionmanbehindthecurtain) and/or me know if you would like to be on the ping list. 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.
So... like the previous threads, this is intended as 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.

New folk and occasional posters, jump right in and introduce yourselves, tell us about your horses, and post pictures if you've got them!
Bummer of a day here. My house a mess and I've been washing and cleaning all day. Right now I'm eating veal and lasagna.
Oh people will pay LOTS for jumping ponies. It's amazing. She would fetch a lot of money if someone could train her over fences. She's a nice looking pony, very flashy, and very smart from what you've told us. I'm a sucker for ponies... especially bay ones. Mostly I think it's becasue I can still get away with riding them. :-D My first dressage trainer had a large pony that she always showed. She isn't much taller than I am.
Alot depends on how long you want to ride each day:) We could do it all in 1 day.There is actually maybe only about 15-20 miles around here. Or break it up into 2-3. One night, we could get the kids here with their horses and have a playday. Let you run barrels and poles:) You might discover you like it:) Your welcome to stay here. We'd put you up in the RV. The kids took their beds when they left so we only have 1:). But I thought you may be more comfortable in the RV anyway, get some privacy once in a while, As Mack says, to burp and fart:) Then too, I'm not sure if 2J doesn't want yout to stay with her too. That would all be up to what you want to do. It won't hurt my feelings what every you decide. We could definitly at least one night have a cook out here one night, fire, guitars, eats, with anyone that wants to come. Maybe one night go out somewhere.

I'd like to spend at least a day seeing all your trails, and I'd love to spend a day playing games and running barrels. Can I run them in my English saddle? ;~D
I didn't have any plans to stay at 2J's... I am not even sure her husband is keen on the idea of internet people coming over to visit, but I must go there to hold a chicken and see her beatle project, prolly. We will have been with 2J the weekend before in MO, so our purpose for coming to OK will be to see you and your horses. The cookout and evening gathering sounds great.
We could spend a good day just talkin' and playin' with your baby horse that will be there by then... I think if you'll have us and won't get tired of us, we could spend a good few days!
First time on here today, its been beautiful and sunny and warm and we have been making the nost of it. We have seperated the middle field into two, with round pen fencing. Misty and Sugar and the foals seem quite happy, and after maybe next weekend, we'll take the temporary fence down. We are diggin a water pipe ditch now, to give Sugar some water other than in a bucket.
The bassets are back in what we used for a "maternity ward" and loving it. Their long ears are flopping all over the place with them charging back and forth. Both foals dont seem to mind the chickens or the dogs at all which is good.
We had Lightning in the round pen earlier and our australian shepherd Sally was determined to enjoy a game of cat and mouse with him. I dont know who enjoyed it more!
I am going to go back out in a while and get some pics and hopefully get this reader hooked up and download!
I still need to cook supper and bathe the kids though so you might have to wait till tommorow.
The boys were helping james to dig the ditch! LOL I love it when they want to "help" him! : D
Sounds like everything getting back to normal for you
Aguing with my husband that "let's go ahead and buy that 20 acres":') I tell him that I'm the only one around here that doesn't have a place to play but not getting much sympathy. I could have had 3 or 4 opportunities to ride today if they were in my back yard.
Sounds like you are going to have a Great time. You will have to find a real cowgirl hat for Hair to wear and be sure to take pictures. Looking forward to seeing them posted.
If you get there, I am sure that they will have a horse for you to ride, probably several to choose from. : )
BTW; the Buttercups pictures I posted were for you too.
Well any of you passing thru Brownsville, stop by and I'll show you my two equine pride and joys. We can ride in Mexico if you want. Just give me two hours notice to straighten the house.
The head of the school sent a letter out to all the parents that I talked to, describing how they are right to have this book in the school. They think that since most of the book teaches biblical ideals in art that it's ok if a couple of paragraphs are devoted to graphic descriptions of pornography. I just want to strangle these people! In the letter he quotes a paragraph in the book that is so technical, nobody but an art history major would understand. I guess he thinks that's the paragraph that the teenagers will read over and over, not the paragraphs describing a woman masturbating.
Doesn't ecrubh have family out in MA, or did?
Yes, his liberal side of the family are all there ;~D
He has a few aunts and uncles and a grandmother there.
Riding in Mexico?
Not me. I won't even go eat there right now and you don't travel "thru" Brownsville. It's a dead end.
Probably by now ever kid has looked at it.
