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!
Uh, no. Even on good days he doesn't like looking:')
Sorry to hear about your kitties.
His ears are better!
Dang our weather... it was pouring so hard we took pity on the horses and brought them in early and fed dinner. Now it's stopped raining and is sunny, and won't be dark for two hours.
~bangs head on desk~
Is getting off a horse at the end part of a competition or can you embaress yourself privately. I was just wondering because I read HOTDs post and after a couple of hours I drag my right leg over and my knees like jello too.
A horse community. I didn't even know there was such a thing:')

LOL - well you have to take of the tack to vet the horse in, it would be hard to do if you didn't get out of the saddle.
I wouldn't worry, they don't ~stay~ that way too long ;~D and you aren't the first person they've seen that poured out of the saddle into a puddle ;~D
I've been looking at acreage on the net. It's depressing. Land cheaper in NY than here. I see some really good buys in west Texas though:')
I'm waiting for my husband to get better and then I'm going to talk with him about the 40 year. I know he'll go into his Fred Sanford routine though. I have another bank question though if you don't mind. My new job has a different bank. I usually just cash my checks but there is a couple of days delay now so I opened a checking account up. I haven't written a check in probably over a year. Today I wrote one at a convience store for gas. The clerk gave me a receipt to sign. I told her I was not charging but she told me it was for my check and then gave me my check back after running it thru. I was concerned I got charged twice but she assured me I didn't. What's this about?
The horse that I usually ride at my barn is at the bottom of the food chain, that's for certain. There's a boss mare that guards him and tries to run off anyone that goes to catch him. She'll beat up on him if he's first to the gate, and last week she actually ran to the gate that she thought that we were going out of and stood guard. I faked her out and used the other one. :-) Is there any way that you can move sara lee to a new paddock? Is this alpha horse new?
She's new. Sarah Lee at the bottom too. She gets tested a lot but this one the worse. I don't know where else I could put her.
There's a compound on my street. The land is huge and they've got at least three or four small cabins on there, and I think a barn. I don't know if I could live with family that close, we'd probably kill eachother. ;-)
It's funny. My husband and my sons have those concerns. The DILs and I think it's worth considering:') They all have got to get their own places. We need our space but 5-10 acrea apart might not be so bad.
I have no idea Cindy, why would she give you the check back?
I don't know. It was weird. I signed the receipt like when you charge something and she gave it back to me.
I know the answer to this one, it's a new thing that some businesses do. They run the check through a system that checks to see if you have the money in your account and the transaction immediately goes through. Bad thing for the consumer, if you need to buy something Thursday night, knowing you'll get your paycheck on Friday before the check goes through, you can't get away with that anymore. They give you your check back when finished and it's your cancelled check, like you get once a month from the bank.
I wish I was as skinny as you.
