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!
Good morning.
Rose, Rocky is my oldest, but I don't think it's because he is older and sensible that he stays in the barn durng bad weathr. One he always has, two, he was stalled all the time the first 5 years of his life till we got him. I think he just got despooked of the noise that tin barns make during storms, he had too, he could get out. And three, he doesn't like getting wet. Giving him a bath is a real chore:)
Duchess. Mack and I have been married 30 years. It took me awhile to learn not to ask questions when he was having problems with something:) But I learned. Unlike Bod tho, Mack likes to bother me when I'm cleaning house:) He likes to pick at people. LOL. After 30 years even tho it irritates me, I generally start laughing.
Becky
I forgot to tell you, Belle seems to be doing fine, but, IMO, she still is not really looking pregnant, and she did not bag up this weekend.
~worry, worry, worry~
Becky
Good morning Becky,
Maybe she will bag up and be ready to have the foal really quickly, my friends horse did that, bagged up one morning, had the foal that evening, surprised everyone. She looks like Belle too! Had a colt. : )
I'm a worrywort, but deaconjim isn't. He tells me not to worry about things, but to put over to the Lord. He says that worrying is butting into God's business.....
Trouble is, he doen't worry or get concerned about anything! LOL Men!~
I don't worry about alot of stuff. I've learned it doesn't help. This worry about Belle, is probably selfish worry, I really want a foal this time:) That's more the worry then that I'm worried about Belle. She seems very healthy. I'm mostly worried that there is no foal, (but that doesn't make sense beings as the vet said there was 2 month ago, or there is something wrong with it...
But, what will be will be..
BEcky
Well I really hope everything is ok, and you get a healthy foal. Misty really didnt show much, nothing like our pudding Sugar!~
Happy birthday, sweetie!
~smooch~
~smooch~
Thank you honey...
Good morning everyone!
So how did it go with the camera or computer equipment last night? Any progress?
Not good.
Becky
Doh.... What is the problem with it? Still cords? or the software? ???
I guess it's the software.
We don't have the driver to run the USB port.
Becky
You bought a new USB port? Is that what happened?
Another day, another three stalls to clean!
Yes. And the package said that it would work with Windows 98. But after he got home and got it installed a window came up and said he needed the updated version of Windows 98SE. We don't have that.
Becky
oooh - and you probably can't update anymore? have you looked for updates at Microsoft?
He says No.
Becky
It might be time to give up on 98.... I'd recommend XP! You won't have to install any software, it just finds new devices and runs them!
Heh... well, like I said, I had to look it up. I've never exactly had a horse that was in the running ;~D
