*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!
Man I'm sure you like that old horse, but shes got a PumpJack head if I've ever seen one, its huge!

I hesitate to ask this but could there have been another guy in her life?
Yes, the stud can be seen at www.quincsgrandfinale.com
I'll try to go snag a picture or two of him.
That foal at her side, on the other hand, was a homely thing who didn't exactly improve with age ;~D bless his heart.
No, no one else. There is dun in the stud's background, I'm just not wanting to admit this guy could be dun. And theoretically, he shouldn't be unless the stud carries a dilution gene.
Well I think he's pretty!
He threw a different kind of blanket on your foal, none of the peacock spots, just the snowy blanket.
Well that picture you posted of her sure didn't catch her good side. :)

Note to self - next time steal a smaller picture.
What's wrong with him being dun?
It's the only one I got! :~D
Nothing really, just that he'd be a lot flashier as a chestnut. Mostly just my personal feelings about the stud coming out. He's a right pretty colt, and as a snocap, will almost always throw color if he is used as a stud, like 90-95% color.
I don't know the genetics of blue eyes in horses, although they usually show up in paints or horses with very wide blazes or bald faces.
Well, I think Dad and Jr both gorgeous. Like you told me once, it's a roll of the dice. Looking at horses, is seeing the awesome, creative hand of God :')
:) So true.
Well we could let him do his thing next year and make a baby with Sarah Lee. Now that would be really interesting. No telling what we would get:')
Well, he won't be quite old enough next year. I went and looked at a bunch of the pictures on the appaloosa project though and it looks like he might carry the sabino gene. I'll let you know what they say when I get some pictures posted there.
W-D 40 is a great de-tangler. Spray it on the knot in the the mane, let it dry awhile and they brush out alot easier, without much breakage.

Good morning
Becky
He is looking good:). Sorry about the blue eye. I'm not real fond of blue eyes either. But alot of people are.
Breeding is a crap shoot, no doubt.
