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!
Check out the garfield cartoon, snowflakes means you are entitled to hot chocolate! : )
Hope the weather gets better for you soon. How are the horses doing?
Absolutely!
thanks!
Love your tag line........but I'm not sure how it works with mine! LOL
Well, I agree with you of course, mine will have a home for as long as they are comfortable... Unfortunately, with their expense, I can't require that others also provide all the care I might for a horse they can no longer ride. And, often as not, the time he is no longer of ~use~ it's because of breakdown, lameness and pain, so sometimes, it's a distinction without a difference.
Oh - well, try to send it again if you think you can, I'd like to see it :~D
Weird weather indeed. Any news on the barn value front with the insurance company? Will they probably come out and look, or will they estimate it?
I got gas tonight. It's getting chilly and I hate having to stop in the morning, when it's cold.
hmmm. Well you know the rules.
Are you out of school ? The kids gave me their wish list last night. Sarah wants a horse, ice skates and a bra:')
Yeah - me too ;~D
I think it's the leftovers...
When I reread my post , I was wondering which one of yall would be first to see that goof :')
I couldn't resist ;~D
"It is usually transmitted via "respiratory droplets" which means that your husband was exposed to an infected person at some point."
Well, I don't want it! I've been spraying Lysol and bleach on every household surface, hope it helps. Do you think it will?
Tuffy is doing amazingly well, wish I had time to ride. The baby had her first hoof trim today, she was scared but didn't fight.
Doesn't it scare you to death to walk outside and see your horse acting like he has a broke leg? I'm glad Jake is better, he's an awesome horse.
Tuffy and Henkell need to go to weight watchers together, sounds like. Tuffy gets any bigger I'm gonna have to widen his stall door.
Well hey, stranger! How have you been and what have you been up to? Hubby is better, he should be fine for Christmas but I bet he still feels the effects of pneumonia for weeks to come.
It's unusual for me to not have gas.
Friendship Between Women:
A woman didn't come home one night. The next day she told her husband that she had slept over at a friend's house. The man called his wife's 10 best friends. None of them knew about it.
Friendship Between Men:
A man didn't come home one night. The next day he told his wife that he had slept over at a friend's house. The woman called her husband's 10 best friends. Eight of them confirmed that he had slept over, and two claimed that he was still there.
LOL!
Kind of like doctors and nurses. Doctors stick together. Nurses eat their young.
Little hint: it takes an antimicrobial 20 minutes to actually KILL microbes. If it is wiped off before that, it is called "degerming". You have removed the microbes from the surface and transferred them to something else, like the paper towel you wiped them up with.
To protect yourself, avoid contact with mucoid secretions from your husband. That means, NO kissing, even on the cheek, no holding hands, and making sure that your husband covers his mouth/nose when sneezing and coughing (use Kleenex). If you really want to be safe, wear a mask and gloves around him. The mask prevents entry into your nose and mouth, and the gloves prevent you from picking the germs up on your hands and then transfering them to your nose or mouth. He is probably past the infective stage by now anyway though.
When I saw Jake, I was just sure he had broken his knee. It was even swollen because he was walking just on his toe. My vet wasn't fooled by the obvious swelling and went straight for the heel. He blocked just the heel and Jake was feeling no pain.
Maybe you and I need to start a Jenny Craig for Equines club. We can call it "Jenny Nag".
Cool video, Frog. Thanks and Hair too.
