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!
It's almost like we need a camera around our neck, huh?
Is sugar getting a winter coat yet? Sarah Lee is getting curly but Okie still the same.
Not really, but we are still in the high 80s here. : )
We are too but she's starting to get wooly. We only had that one cold spell. Hair thinks it has more with light. That might explain Okie. There aren't any trees in his pasture and it's sunny. A lot of hers is shady.
Hair...bales are sure easy to handle,
Yes, they are. One man who would deliver bulk sawdust, would push it back into a shed we have for storage. His son delivered the last time, and just dumped in the front of the shed. Sawdust had to be shoveled then. It would be so cool, to have a top that tipped up and the truck could back up and dump right there.
I thought maybe the shavings would be a lower cost, with the timber industry near by.
You'd think.... but I guess not.
Oh - and good morning everyone! :~D
It's hours of daylight hours versus hours of darkness, I don't think sun/shade would make that much of a difference, could be SL just wools out sooner anyway... did they both get equally wooly last year?
Cyn never grows a coat to speak of.... 10 points for tidy, minus 10 points for staying warm in the cold :~D
Good morning.
We have gotten so much wind the last few days, the leaves on alot of the trees have already all blown off. But it has been unusally warm. We had to turn the AC back on last night.
Tonight the girls and I are going to see Beauty and the Beast on stage. Looking forward to that.
Becky
That'll be a fun night. :~D
We watched the first 4 hours of 24 season 2 last night, that's prolly what we'll do again tonight :~D
Beauty and the Beast sounds fun! Y'all have a good time and make sure to go out and eat someplace nice too. Girls need a night out sometimes!
I think we are going to go to Olive Garden:)
I think I've said it before but IMO, the 1st and 2nd seasons were the the best:) Have fun.
Becky
I like the story so far :~D
I just went out and took some horse pictures I want to show ya :~D
Cool - now what are ya gonna do with it? :~D
Mmmm... Olive Garden. Their salad and breadsticks are the best.
She looks stationary, but when he gets her like this he physically leans into her with his shoulder and pushes her butt around in a circle. I've never seen him do this before.
Cool! Looks like really nice work. I'm sure there'd be a market for it among the Aussie set. According to Clinton Anderson, Aussie kids start playing with bullwhips when they're kids and learn to use 'em really well but most Americans will put their eye out or whip their ear off with one of those in short order. Me, I can't walk and chew gum, so I know I'd be a danger to myself and everybody within range. ;o)
LOL!! Poor guy, you've got his tools all covered up. How's a guy supposed to get a decent poke with all that stuff in the way?! ;o)
