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!
LOL! I've seen one of those before and it was hilarious. Go ahead and do it, I think it'd be a hoot.
I have never had trouble with a cultivated honeysuckle that I have planted spreading where I dont want it to go! It a long long way from Kudzu! LOL
Awww, the girls sure are cute, but Josey sure is going through a strange color phase on her face. She looks like Hope did last summer.
Good morning all, need coffee :~D
Frog, Emma has just told me to get you to look at my tag line and then you will understand a lot more about me! Cheeky monkey! : D
Good morning Hair! Caught you just before we left, we are off looking at trucks. Have a great day! : )
Well, it must be a different kind than the kind that grows wild around here. Ours has cream colored and/or yellowish blooms and is just about impossible to kill.
I see that now. LOL! I hadn't noticed it before. Thanks Emma! That explains a lot. ;o)
Well, I think Tiff will be coming back to get Sweetie this morning, if she got back last night as planned. :~D
~sip~
hehehehehe...
Hooves, it is!
Well hopefully Bay won't take offense when you take "his girl" away. I'm sure she'll be proud to get back home and see her buddies.
Do you think Tiff could ever board yours someday if you decide to go on another trip?
She doesn't have room for all of them, but it's conceivable that she might take the pony, if we were to go overnight with the others.... like she just did.
It's funny that he bonded with her so much through the fence, and calling for her when she went out of sight. The mares continue to pin their ears back and fuss at her, and Bay goes and gets between.
It shouldn't be weird, because I had always known him to be so fond of any mare. "Bay loves his ladies" we always said, though he doesn't do well with other geldings. But he was ~SO~ aggressive with Cyn it really turned me upside down in my thinking. After seeing him trying to bond with this filly, we've decided it was personal... he just didn't like Cyn. He seems to have softened to her now, thankfully.
Good morning,
My great niece just turned 15.
At the rate she's going, I think Josey will be completely shed and grey by the time she's 6mos old. She's only two months old right now.
Is Tuffy a stud prospect for you? Or do you want two of them around?
Well that'd be nice coz I know you'd never go otherwise, and even if you did, you'd be worrying about Pony the whole time and wouldn't enjoy yourself. It's nice to have someone that you trust that you can swap horse-sitting favors with.
