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!
This is a Dreamfinder bred colt. No color, but has characteristics. His momma placed in the top ten, at the Nationals a few years ago.
We are going to try and go see the pony stud this week sometime.
Oh my, that second one looks like a little tank:). Look at that chest. I like that:)

Oh Yeah! The vet released my horses to be moved.
well that is what will be good about being next to my BIL. He will watch our place for us and we will watch his for him.
BTW, my daughter has a big bruise under her arm. The horse she was riding, slipped going around the second barrel, at a show Sunday. Horse and her went down. The footing was not the best. She has gotten into this contesting kick lately. She did win some money on poles,so maybe that's it..lol
ok MissTargets, I just got back from my week at the cabin and took some pictures...uploaded them to Snapfish and now I don't know how to post them here. Can you help?
I can't wait to see them.
That's great!
"My momma was built like a linebacker" ;~D
Is the mare Impressive?
Sorry about the slip...part of the game:(. I love poles. I wish they had as many jackpots doing poles as barrels. Poles are beautiful to watch too, horse looks like it's skipping when they are weaving thru them and changeing leads.

A point show circuit that we used showed at, had all breeds of horses. I loved to watch the Arabian Park horses. The Arabian Native costume and the Tennessee Walkers were the crowd pleasers. Those kind of shows, with so many different breeds and classes are the ones that are fun to watch.
I was wondering how things were going.
this is the front from a strange angle
..
this is the new barn
this is one the temporary pasture until we can get our fence up
I have some more but I seem to be taking up too much room !!
I can't believe it I just spent 20 minutes putting pictures on the thread and they aren't showing up,,,,,they did in the preview?
my bad, it took a little bit of time....Had a wonderful week and rode everyday. Other than one fall Waylon was absolutely perfect. He trailered well and acclimated well to the new barn. I can't wait to go back. Too bad I have to work
Wow! Great place, I am green with envy! LOVE the barn! : )
Whereabouts is the cabin? It looks beautiful!
Unless I win the lottery, I'll just have to be a weekend visitor until I can retire in 3 yrs.
