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!
Thanks:). I think he's pretty.
I Show Sheened him good, so the dirt should just brush off very easy.
Becky
Nice pictures. I have some downloading. They aren't comparable due to location but still nice.
I was just thinking I should get out there and clean up all my tack....
Becky
Good - pics from the new place?
Yeah - clean all the tack... shine your ridin' boots, run through your list of things to not forget about a hundred times ;~D
My biggest fear is forgetting our coggins and health papers. I'm going to go put them in the RV right now, then that will be one worry done with:)
Becky
Will the horses be stalled during the clinic? Are you bringing your own feed?
This is a dead end road. The property starts at the end of the tunnel.
This is the front west side. Our property actually goes into the trees but someone strung wire in front of them. The owner beside us has 50 acres with a creek and said we can ride on his property anytime we want.
That looks beautiful! Did you get fencing stuff done that you needed this weekend?
a neighbor using my BIL property right now. He's gonna fence back. I'm still waiting on vet ok for mine. This little one very friendly and came right up to me. I don't know if it's just sheding but her coat thin in areas. See momma in the background?
Well, we're off.... to take the truck back to dad... we'll be back later.
She's shedding her foal coat, it starts around the eyes and mouth and goes backwards.... she's at the kindof moth eaten stage.
Very pretty foal.
HEY, YOU! GET AWAY FROM MY KID.
This one kind of reminded me of Sarar Lee. She looks about ready, don't yall think? The property is Ag Exempt for native grass land. These horses aren't hay or grain fed.
Yeah, they will be stalled during the clinic, and we provide our own feed and hay.
Becky
This is at the back of our property. I don't know if it's just a ditch or creek run off. I was going to check it out but the mosquitos were very bad back here and no time after I bought some spray.
I just want to say that I really enjoy this thread. I love the pictures and enjoy the running commentary on life on a farm/ranch.
I just love babies:')
Well we are happy to hear from you, and see your horse:) Are you on our morning ping list?
Do you have any horses now?
Becky
