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!
I'm so sorry about your cat.
Becky
He's still missing... I'm starting to fret, gonna put a sign up at the next door in case he went over there and someone thought he was lost.
Also gonna go walk the road a ways.
This cat disappeared for two months once, and then came back. But he's too old for that now.
St. Francis, St. Anthony, chiefest flowers of your Order, please take pity on a small lost cat. We beg you to intervene on his behalf to the Blessed Virgin and to Our Lord, that (if it is His will) he may be swiftly restored to home and hearth. We ask this in His name, Amen.
Thank you :~D
~fret~
I just started snowing too.
Yeah - I know... If he is OK - he'd be headed home I'd think.
Did he have his collar on?
Nope...
Once again, I'm so sorry. I worry in the winter when my cat chooses to stay out nights. I don't know where he goes, but sometimes, even on cold nights he'll stay out, no matter how much I call....
Becky
HHHMMMMMMMMM....do you think he would take off because of the little ones?
I know he seemed to like them, but maybe he was jealous??? I think dogs will do that, I don't know about cats.
Becky
Thank you, I'm hoping that's the case, that he's fine and on some great adventure... He's certainly been gone this long before, but him going missing when I've been seeing a coyote is making my outlook pretty gloomy. I sure appreciate your concern! :~D
OH I think a cat would certainly do that if he was alarmed about them. But he seemed OK with them...
Good morning,
I'll keep my eyes open for one in your part of the country.
I'm so sorry about your cat - praying that you find him soon.
Thank you :~D
It was given to me by a friend of Kristy's who is using my western saddle till she gets one of her own. This is a thank you, but Kristy couldn't remember the name of it, and the lady told her to tell me once it is done blooming to trash it. I thought maybe if I could find out what kind it is, I might be able to do something other then trash it when it's done blooming.
Becky
It looks like one of these...
Tropical Blooming Bromeliad Plant
One of the most striking features of tropical and subtropical forests is the abundance of colorful Bromeliads found growing on tree trunks and branches. We offer a Bromeliad that will similarly brighten any home or office. Perfect and its glowing bloom will last for months. The pot has a 5" diameter, and the Bromeliad stands between 10" and 12" tall. * Note that delivery area may be limited and a seasonal substitution could be used.
I think Hair is right, and I wouldn't trash it. Put it in the bathroom, it will like the humidity I think.
Yeah, it's definately a bromiliad. I've had them before and the lady is pretty much right about trashing them when the bloom falls off. I've never had one bloom again. They're almost as bad as poinsettias or amaryllis is that regard.
How long will it bloom for?
Becky
