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!
The board is slow. We need some horse pictures:")
Well, I could download some pictures of BamBam under saddle for the first time today. On her way to getting trained :)
No, just really expensive little inserts for my shoes.
We'd love that!
I'm waiting:') Which one is BamBam?
If it helps it will be worth the cost.
I think it will help. They felt great on the way home.
I may lose power. We have a storm coming thru.
:) Give me 15minutes or so, I'm on dial-up and it takes awhile.
OK - we're up a bit longer :~D
Grandson tonight :)
Friend's granddaughter tonight -
Woods fairy at the library today
Costumes look fun, and Bam Bam looks like she was going pretty nicely!
Any bucks or foibles? What do you do to lead up to backing for the first time?
She's sure swishing her tail. How old is she?
Who's training her?
No bucking but everytime Tracey kicked her to move her up a gait, she stopped dead. I wasn't here but I guess she can stop on a dime :)
Basically it's a matter of trust and she trusts Bob and Tracey so it's just a matter of teaching her what they are asking of her.
It's Tracey riding her, Bob at the fence.
I thought it was her but I couldn't tell for sure.
Sounds great. :~D How old is she?
Well, I've got to hit the sack.... worn out.
That is a pretty funny reaction.... but a nice safe one. I'd prefer they stop when they're surprised or confused than the other alternatives they have!
Good night.
She's 30 this year. Night ladies, it has been a long day. CindyDawg, hope you have no problems from the weather.
