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!
Thanks, but I think it's a total loss.
Some of it might be usuable, I don't know enough about building to know, but it looks pretty destroyed.
Becky
I'm so sorry, what a mess :~(
Is it listed on your homeowner's policy?
Have you heard from 2J. I think alot of people are without power.
Becky
I have no clue. Mack is calling them tomorrow. But turning in a claim could raise the rates higher then it would be for us to just replace. The thing about that is getting it done.....
Becky
I don't know what to say, except I'm glad the horses didn't get hurt.
No - we haven't heard.... we have only pinged her hoping she'll check in.
I guess it's pretty widespread, g'nad's talking tornado warnings up in MO.
It may or may not raise your rates to make a claim, that's true.
Well, I guess you get to decide what kind of barn you'd like, anything about the old one you would have wanted to change?
Thanks:). I'm glad too. I heard it go from the house, and thought it was the shop. When I got the door open and saw it was the barn I ran out to see if they were all right while stuff was still blowing. They were way at the back.
Becky
Is that Harley I can sortof see in the background in Pic 2?
Not really. It probably wasn't eveyone's idea of a "barn", but it worked perfect for me and I liked not having to have stalls that you have to lead horses into and out of. I liked my barn. I hate that this happened.
They are just now reporting that a lot of fires have started, and a cold front is moving in (and my horses don't have a barn:(
Becky
Yep, that's Harley.
Becky
Sheesh. Looking at those pics I'd have to agree. :-(
What a frustrating way to end the long weekend.
Do you have blankets? Can they get by the shop out of the wind? Or, how about your trailer tonight after the wind dies down?
Happy Thanksgiving! Regret that I missed your post to me! : )
Hi ya! Thanks. You too.
I have one blanket. I don't think it's going to get "that" cold tonight. It's just they won't be able to get out of the wind.
Becky
I think the shed row kind of design has a lot of features... I'd love for mine to be able to come and go from shelter freely, or at least have a larger loafing shed than I have for them. You can rebuild it exactly how it is.
I'm sorry they don't have a place to be out of the weather tonight. I'm just depressed for you at having to deal with all the mess and expense of getting a new one built rather unexpectedly.
Two real cuties there Hair. : )
I ate too much but do not regret it......... : )
Hey Cav! You're way behind, glad to see you check in :~D
