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!
Our local town carnival is happening this weekend. Thurs. night is the family night. There is a rodeo too. I'd like to go to it one night. It's been a couple years since I went to a rodeo. I'd like to see the barrell racers:)
Well, 5:30 comes early, I think I'll head to bed.
Becky
Well, I'm trying to remember it everytime I go out:)
Becky
That'll be fun. When will you be entering you think?
I don't know, the competiton at rodeos, is a lot stiffer, and entry fees alot higher then at the 4D jackpots. My goal is just to get to some jackpots this year and get in the groove of competition. That would be a major accomplishment for me this summer. Mack got the hitch for my truck this weekend, and has been shopping for tires for my trailer. I'd say by next week I should be mobile. Then on Tues. nights there is a 4D I'd like to go to. I definitly want to go to a 8 wk jackpot that is in another town close by in the fall. The girls did it last year, and Jenny did it several years when she was still at home.

Good morning.
Do things look different on the thread to you?
Becky
What's supposed to look different?
LOL....nothing is "suppose" to look different. But this morning on mine, the post numbers, posters names, and the post/view replies/post#/etc is red..??? then turns blue when you click it. Just wondered if everyones is that way.
Becky
Do you have a virus scanner?? You might want to run the scan to see if you've gotten a virus.
A while back, my 'puter's fonts went wacky, displays were 'different', and backhoe(the FReeper) told me to run my virus scanner. Sure 'nuff, I had picked up a 'bug' somewhere. (prolly the kids going to websites)
Well, this is happening on my WebTV. I haven't turned the computer on yet, so I don't know if it's doing it there. The WEbTV doesn't get viruses.
There was an update on WEBTV this morning first thing, maybe that is what changed it.
Becky
Boy, I'm sure glad you found Homer. I'll bet you were worried sick. Looks like doggie downers are in order for thunder storms too. Either that, or lock him up in a bedroom. Poor baby!
I love the sliding-stop pic! The way his face is in focus, but the rest of him is a blur give it such a sense of energy and motion. Cool!
And the one of Bay and Cyn mirroring each other is nice too. Their color, markings and posture are so close from that angle that it's hard to tell them apart. Thanks!
good morning everyone, looks like scorcher today. My Bassetts girls are full of milk and Jessie is acting a little different, vary attentitive to her groomning today, so I don't think it will be long before we see little ones!
I promise pics Hair! : D
Awwww, I just LOVE babies. Will be looking forward to their arrival! You ARE going to pass out cigars, right?? LOL!!!
Jessie May and Sassy Pie are sisters, this is their first pregnancies so I am a little nervous. Hope they and the little ones are going to be ok, they are very healthy and everything looks good. Don't expect more than pics of long ears though........these are Bassets! : D
Well I need to get off this swing and go help James unload the freezer of all the soggy food. He has found the problem and it's fixable so at least we don't have to buy a new freezer. All that food wasted though.................
I just stocked up too. As I didnt know how long it had been out for and the food was already soft, I didnt want to take a chance and cook it. What a waste. Never mind.
See u all later!

I bet it has to do with the update, and that if you don't like it, you can browse around in your menus and find a place to reset those preferences.
Some of the best shots are accidents like that.... I like the focus on his face too.
Jeepers.... yes, we were worried. Our road he went down is way too busy for him to survive where he went.
We'll hold you to it!
I'm fortunate, my dog doesn't mind thunder, tractor-trailers, loud gunfire, fireworks, or dump trucks.
In fact, she knows a shotgun means "DUCKS for YOU!" so if she hears a shot she'll start looking around for falling waterfowl.
