*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!
oops. That should have been grabbing the mane.
I guessed that was what you meant.:)
Off topic but I'm really getting excited about my new job. We toured the rehab hospital today. It's a dream. My friend kept going around saying remember how we used to talk about this?" There is even a park with ramps, steps, curves, asphalt, concrete, gravel , grass etc for therapy. A pool and we got a transition apartment so that say a husband or wife can come up and stay with their spouse a few days and be responsible for their care before going home so we can identify areas that they may have trouble in. Windows and patios everywhere. It's smaller but it's right up there with the one in Ft Worth and the Dallas institute.
Putting one on my ridge-backed TB mare to try to cushion the ride would be like trying to put out a forest fire with a water pistol. . . . and if I'm riding one of my trainer's little fat ponies, they come with built-in cushions!
I thought Sarah Lee would be bony but she was very comfortable . She's a good eater:')
Don't laugh but you know I'm thinking about breeding her next march or April, right? Well, I figure might as well get her used to being checked so when I'm grooming her I reach under and check her bag . At first she didn't like it but now she just looks at me like "strange humans":')
Oh how cute.
All puppies are monsters!
LOL the kids adore him. When I told deaconjim on the phone it went silent! :D
This makes 16 animals in the yard, not including the chickens. I think we might as well post a sign in the yard that says "Animal House".
We have 17 animals!
6 horses
5 dogs
3 cats
3 rabbits
and about 30 chickens!
I saw some really cute calves today............: D
They're cute, but they're monsters! She's gone mad Jim. ;~D
Did you bring that other one home that you were thinking about before? Did I miss that?
Not yet, he will be arriving this weekend. That's why I counted 16.
LOL I thought I was pretty restrained. He offered them all to me! I could have taken 6 more puppies! : D
I just love animals .........
I guess you are right, I just thought as the portable electric fence system will be here tommorow that I would include Smoky. I figuted he's almost home!
If you have one horse what's two? If you have two what's three? If you have.....:')
Ur...........its a scottish word? : D stop picking holes, you know its pointless! I am right and when Im wrong I am right to be wrong.
