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 MissTargets will now be pinging everyone most mornings. Let MissTargets 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!
May I ask what the exercise was suppose to accomplish?
Becky
What is the gestation period of a gold fish? Mom is trippin that her fish might be knocked up.
So is this guy, although I think he's a bay.
The heading of the pictures was "Flashy Tri Colored Paint. He is for sale, a 3 year old, 17 hands, $8000.
Becky
Here you go. We were looking at a pic a few months ago and it was all the length of the dark. Eddie says he's going to trim it all short tomorrow.
LOL:)
Becky
I didn't think they gestated. She's gonna have fish everywhere.:')
Caution.... I know he thinks it looks funny now, but it will look worse if you cut it. It will be thick at the ends and it may just stand straight up. It's better to pull it short than trim it. If there's show people there, someone can show you how to do that. I'd prolly just leave it though, it will grow back.
Okie has 3 colors in his mane. black/blond/brown
Great minds and all that :)
I told him. He said he'll just leave it alone.
I think they're just bays with white spots...
But I wouldn't object to them being called tri :~D
Oh, I don't object, I was just curious if there was anything official about it. I'd call him a tri.
Becky
I think the picture Becky and I found is a bay but I think Okie is tri-colored. If he were a bay, his legs would be dark and his mane would only be white and black - I think.
Paint? 17 HH at 3? He looks part draft. What a hefty horse.... I'd love to have him ;~D
yeah, that's what I meant too. I think Okie comes closer to being a tri then the one we found for sale.
Becky
I spent an hour at least trying to get him to move forward towards the path. He woulnd't go. So I would turn him in circles and try again. No dice.
He trail rides all the time at the cabin so I don't know what the big deal was. I finally gave up. Any ideas?
Did you try to lead him there?
Was he spooky and blowing or was he reluctant to move?
Well, was he thowing a fit to not go down the trail, running backwards, spinning around etc...or was he just sulling up, standing still and not moving at all?
