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!
Well with that material the photographers job is easy:') I really like the one of Sonny. He doesn't look tired at all and stepping high.
Looks fun. We'll see who my next horse is, whether I go that direction. Right now I can't predict. I don't have too much of a bug to compete, but sometimes it sounds fun.
Ruthy just called, she's near Miami, and she lost her DSL already, though she still has power. Gonna be a blow there soon.

When we had a tropical storm come thru I had power and phone but I lost my DSL early. I don't know if it's going to be any better but we are going to road runner and cell phones only Wed. It's costing us about 180 dollars a month just for a phone so that we can get DLS.
How is Ruthy this morning? Is she riding the hurricane out?
Sorry I didn't post yesterday, guys. It was a hellacious busy day. Never did get pics of the filly but I was able to mess with her a bit. I sat in her stall 3 or 4 times for about 20 minutes at a time and she's getting very comfortable with me being there. She eats hay from my hands, keeps getting a little closer, finally sniffed my shoes, then my knees, then my face. It was hard not to laugh because her long baby whiskers were tickling me.
My sister brought a dog over yesterday. She adopted this poodle looking dog from one of those Petsmart adoption thingies but he didn't work out for her. I told her to bring him to me and I'd see what I could do. I swear, this dog is retarded. It's scared of it's own shadow, if it gets loose you can't catch it, I put it on a leash so I could take it for a walk and it went BERZERKO, flipping and flopping around. It's not even remotely housebroken so I put it outside in my tackroom, with a heater going since it's kinda chilly. I'm sure I'm gonna have a huge mess this morning when I get out there.
Duchess, love the pictures. Your husband is looking mighty "spiffy", in that shirt and hat. Rain and cooler today. High only in 40's.
Is it a standard poodle or a toy poodle type? I kind of like the standard poodles, but the toy poodles... eh... Good luck.
Mornin , all
It's not cool here but breezy 80's. We have had the AC off this weekend. I was reading about gates last night and came across a section on foot care in snow. I flagged it, figuring I might really need that one lol.
We have frost this morning. My gauge is reading 33. No ice on the troughs. BBRRRRRRRRRRR.
Have I mentioned I hate winter:)
It is suppose to get back in the 60's thru the week.

How you doing?

It's a toy poodle. I just checked on it, my tack room is COVERED in poop. He even pooped all over his bed. This is sad sad sad. My husband is convinced the dog is inbred and I just found out, he definitely came out of a puppy mill. I can't have my poor donkey put to sleep but I'm not attached to this dog. Still, a hard decision.
I just called Ruthy to see how she's doing, her phone wasn't on. According to the TV, she's getting hammered.
Poop I can understand, under the circumstances. If he didn't eat a saddle and three pads, I'd have hope ;~D
Hair, I wonder how much those people were paid to keep those dogs. This is too sad.
Agreed.
Good morning! We have finally turned off the AC too! : ) We have high winds right now.
