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!
I am just about to download some pics of the horse, Adge wouldnt leave me alone, he wanted to eat the camera! : )
I have permission to post this as long as I don't zoom:') Ok-Man as fit as a fiddle now
I shouldn't but LOL.
Those are great pictures.
I found Sarah Lee a "man" I just went and saw another one of his foals that was born last night. She's gorgeous. The stud horse looks like Sarah Lee but throws color each time. Isn't that funny?
Sarah Lee definately horsey today. I hope it's just because I'm behind in riding her and she's not getting sick. She was jumpy at stuff that usually doesn't bother her. I had to lunge her twice and review her manners with her to get on. She was doing a lot of stumbling too. By the time I actually got to the riding part I was tired. The owner said all of them acting up today. Gonna keep an eye on her.
Thanks both of you for the pics! It's been ages since I've seen kittens.
We've been out cleaning up the barn. Almost out of hay and no sign that I'm gonna have decent pasture to sustain them even for spring! We'd like to fertilize it but knowing what kind and how much seems daunting. Looks like we just have to feed our horses year around, three is just too many on small acreage.
I had piled up my covers to wash and this is what I found awhile later">
They ~love~ the laundry!
Glad somebody does:')
Super speed here. How precious:')
I think they're very cute! Cuter than birds! :~D
guess they smelt good and fresh!
If the owner said all the horses were acting goofy then I wouldn't worry too much about it. I have days when all of my horses are acting weird, usually when the weather is fixing to change or there is a full moon.
Have you ever seen a male squirrel stand up on it's hind legs? Their balls are as big as their heads, it's a riot.
"They ~love~ the laundry!"
I used to have cat that loved the laundry. Loved to pee on it, that is, and you can't get that smell out.
I had a cat that peed in my shoes until he was fixed. You'd think the smell was washed out, till they warmed up or got wet.
LOL I had to throw away some fly sheets. The cats got locked in my tack room one night and needed a place to whiz. They chose my stack of fly sheets. I washed them, bleached them, everything you could think of and thought I had the smell out, until of course a warm horse wore it. I tossed them in the trash.
