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 have two. My mare has a really rough trot:') I may have a baby llama too. I was remarking how cute and I think my new neighbor giving me one!
The donkey, Billy Bray, bellowing for his oats.
She is pretty. How old ?
I think I'm gonna name my ranch "Almost Noah's Ark" I would like to have two of everything except the snakes of course.
SO adorable... awwwwwwww. I want to cuddle one!
The white mare is about 11. Young enough to do something but as I said I am tired of struggling with her --- I just want to go for a calm and enjoyable ride!
'Almost Noah's Ark' is lovely! Or if you have too many snakes, 'Boa's Ark'! :)
Is your new place near Houston? If so you are down in the flat humid snakey country.
My trainer has two mini wire haired dauchaunds, and the male loves to tussle with the cats. But the cats give him a run for his money, as they are roughly his size! :-) I don't know if I told you but the female got stomped pretty good, and she hasn't been right since. She's a terribly sweet dog, but has lost some of her coordination.
*snif*
I want a Basset!
I miss my ol' Tequila.
Wow! He IS gorgeous! Very flashy.
Was it you who was trying to breed a mare and she'd had a Caslicks and the stallion couldn't breed her?
I like horseclassifieds.com, too.
I drove about 75 miles or so one time to look at a "kid's horse". When I got there, they were already riding him and he had sweat pouring off of him and was still high strung. I wanted to strangle them.
Tuffy came off a farm called Frost Farms in Cleburne. They have alot of horses on one of those sites and they are all nice looking and reasonably priced. She still has Tuffy's mother and some siblings there on the farm. I didn't buy Tuffy from them, I bought him from his 2nd owner so I don't know how nice these people are. I did send them a picture of Tuffy and the first thing they said is, "Is he for sale?"
I would definitely get anything I bought from them a comprehensive pre-purchase exam. Tuffy's health isn't the greatest but he's extremely sweet and gentle.
Is Benji good with the kids?
I love just about any paint horse but that one I posted the link to is a knock out! Wish I had that much money to drop on a horse. I keep telling myself, he's probably lame.
That white mare is really pretty. Have you thought of sending her to a trainer? A big heavy cowboy might be just the ticket to give her an attitude adjustment.
Did your friend ride Dolly before she got transferred or has she never been rideable?
Come down and cuddle one then! LOL I've got plenty and not enough arms! They are Soooo soft and they make such a lovely little snoring noises! : )
I was beginning to think everyone ran off.
Was tequila a Basset? Have you a photo? : )
Benji's an English Setter??
