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!
Carolyn on Blade...
Me & Bluebell...
An overlook at the river. Boy, this place was high! And apparently kids jump off of this place into the water. Not this ol' gal though!!...
The End of the Day. Driving back across the Tennessee River at Decatur, AL...
Nice. Really nice. Where is it?
Yeah work is a drag:') Got to support my habit though.
Finger is still a little sore, but nothing earthshattering. The next day we went back to the same hill and he was fine. I did what was suggested and sidewalked him down. We went back to same hill every day and no problems.
Fabulous pics! Now ~that's~ a river!
Nightmare start to the day though, truck problems with a horse on board would probably drive me into hysterics. I don't even want to think about it!
Is she interested in Blade?
Please tell me that isn't a snake in there.
Wow. It's so pretty. All of those hills and trees. Do those panels hold up good? I'm thinking about buying one each time I get paid and extending as I can. They were 98 dollars a panel at TSC. Is that a good price?
{we don't want much, do we?} ;o)
Well I'm glad it ended well. Were you sad to see Blake go?
I just got back from the stables. Darn horses. They keep me on my toes. Okie usually loves his worm med. Today he wanted to look at stars. He dances when he gets a shot. Today he just stood there. I'm expecting Sarah Lee to throw a fit about her wormer and she just opened up. I expected her to stand still for her shot and she wanted to dance.
Funny thing is that they watched each other the whole time. I mean everything.
Um, is their a cat under there? : ) Is your hen a rhode island red? (not sure of spelling : )
There sure as heck is something under there.
Yeah, she borrowed the money and is going to take him next weekend. We're going to meet up again at Bankhead Forest and ride and she'll take him home with her. He did everything she asked him to do and she said his roughest gait was better than her crazy mare's smoothest, so she loved him. He loves everybody, so they hit it off really well. I'm glad, but I'll miss him. I'll either have to ride Bluebell until Bob gets trained, or bring Tennessee out of retirement. Not sure which I'll do at the moment. Bluebell need LOTS of work and Tennessee is so fat and out of shape that it's unreal, so my horse riding is fixing to get interesting.
I'd be a little sad.... no - prolly a lot sad!
We have the same panels, and yes they do hold up good! We can safely keep a horse in there when needed and we used it for training. : ) Not sure of the price you said, sounds a little high, we had to shop around and i am sure there was as much as $20 difference per panel in prices, but I just cannot for the life of me remember the final price!
Oh and congrats on your vet clearing the horses! : )
Yes, it will, and I'll probably squall! I raised him from a 3mth old and he sure is a sweetie. But if he's not with me, I can't think of a better person to have him, other than maybe the "Cav-ster".
It's Killer(the rooster) hunkered down to watch over 4 wk. old kittens.(the top baby has its head pointing towards the top of the pic....the other baby's head is facing the 'other way'.the butt)
LOL - and he's really watching over them?
No snake, just a bike tire.
OK, now I see it. That's a hoot! A rooster getting broody over a couple of kittens. Those kittens will sure be confused later on in life. ;o)
