*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!
Homer's diggin' the doggie door...
Maybe he's not as ~simple-minded~ as we've been sayin'. ;~D
BTW, do you have to keep ahold of your gaited horses? Every Racker, Walker, Pasos or any of the gaited horses I have seen, all the riders held snug reins. I am talking trail, not horse shows.
They're not in that shameful shade that is shadey huh:)
I want to get a doggie door, but only big enough for Susie and the cat. Grizzly needs to remain an out door dog as much as possible.
Looks like you all did a good job. And getting things ready for your trip. Which is first/when?
Are the horses staying home....any horsey doors on the barn:)
Becky
First trip is end of March - to Arizona for ecurbh's sister's wedding.
I think the horses and everyone will be staying home. I hope the spring is mild early, like it is now. Then they can stay out with the cover of the lean-to and the back forty.
If they would go in their own door only, I'd put in a horsey door to their stalls.... but I know better. ;~D
Okay, software downloaded, IP address doesn't work I guess, Eric tried it and said he'd call me back in 15 minutes. It appeares that it can be connected trhough msn messenger or yahoo messenger although my computer insists on trying to connect with aol every time I click on something in the program. @#$&^%
Here's hopin' for a fix .... ;~D
Eric just called, sending another link for another software program to install, then it should work. We shall see. Back later with a link if it works. If not, you'll hear me from there probably.
Hi, mamma.(o:
Just got home from work and fed the ponnies. Big has gotten sooo fat. Thay need to be ridin so bad. I think Dot is either growung again, or she's just going through her spring time gaingly stage already. She doesn't look bad, but she doesn't look as plump and round as she did a couple of weeks ago. It's time to worm again too.
Hopefully the weather stays nice and I can start riding her.
OK - Good luck!
If and when I get this, is this a link that can be put on the pictures page rather than the board?
Did you hear the storm last night? That big clap of thunder scared Fugly have to death. She bolted across the bed like she was on fire, which scared the heck out of me. Crazy cat.(o:
Sure! We can do that. That would be better than posting it to the thread.
I think alot of horses start looking bad this time of year waiting on the green grass. She went thru a gangly stage last year remember.
I heard the storm as I was falling asleep, but it never woke me up. About 2:30 I did wake up, because I heard Susie crying. Silly dog was outside. I have no clue how long she was out there, and don't know why she went. She never does that. She sure acted glad to get back in bed tho:)
The storm must have had alot of wind tho. Everything in the front yard was blown all over the place.
Becky
Yeah, I Figured it was just this time of year gets her.
All of our lawn chairs were in the pasture this morning too. Dot Spooked at one after I let her out of her pin. She's so funny one minute she thinks it's going to bite her and the next she could care less. I think most of it is just an act.(o:
What did you guys do today? I tried to call you but no one was home.
I'm hoping Dad and Charlie can get the arena lights fixed soon, so that we could ride in the evenings when your off work.
Becky
That would be great. I could bring them both and ride,Big is just so fat.
Are you doing anything Thursday evening? If not I thought I would come up when I get off work(5:30) and we could watch that movie. Travis goes back to nights Thurs.(o:
Tell Mack I'm coming to bother him.(o:
We were home all day. I had the web hooked up but was in and out of the living room so missed the call.
I cleaned out my closet!!! It's like another bedroom now:) I didn't realize it was such a big closet with all that stuff in it. That stuff is now in your old room. One day we're going to haul all that stuff to the building and have a parking lot sale. The stuff we keep we'll store back there instead of my closet. Charlie's room will be that laundry room I've always wanted. There "should" be enough room in your room even as a storage room for kiddies to play in someday.
Becky
Nope we're not doing anything. Come ahead.
