The FreeRepublic Saddle Club - Who's Who *pics*

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!

Excellent pics, thanks! Ours is also a female, per the wildlife guy I sent the picture to.

Ms. Falcon is now in my tack room, warm and safe. She seems ok, guess we'll know more in the morning. I'm sure gonna be bummed if I go out there and she's dead.

[CindyDawg]

I'm back. Are you feeling any better?

[CindyDawg]

I wonder if him being down could be smoke related.

[CindyDawg]

I wouldn't be happy either. Take care. Praying for ya. I just got back from my Dad's. Highway signs were everywhere about the entire state being in a burn bann. When I got home, I thought my side of the house on fire. It was just smoke from the neighbor kids fireworks.:')

[HairOfTheDog]

Hows your water and power situation now?

[apackof2]

I am sure she will be fine

They are pretty tought little birds

Kudos to you for coming to her aid!

[CindyDawg]

Hi. Welcome.

[apackof2]

Hi, thanks!

[Duchess47]

All's fine here I think. We put two of the three pregnant mares in the barn for the night, the other one has dry land to stand on.

I took some more pictures but they disappeared in Snapfish somewhere. I'll look again for them tomorrow. Happy New Year's everyone.

[HairOfTheDog]

Well, here's to a break in the clouds for you soon.

[Duchess47]

Thank you :)

Sun came out before it went down and we had a rainbow with one end in the back pasture and the other in the front. How cool is that. Just checked the road and it's still running water but a lot less, hopefully the snow has started in the mountains.

[HairOfTheDog]

When you get rain in the desert, you really get rain! You probably got a months worth of our drizzle in 24 hours :~D

[RebaJ]

I hope you had a good visit, I'm about the same. Did you decide to go with Dad in Feb?

[Duchess47]

Might as well do it up big if you're going to do it :) or is it Texas that says that?

[Rose of Sharn]

[CindyDawg]

Ok. Well I'm glad your critters are staying dry. Happy New Years Yall. I slept thru it. I told Eddie I was tired and going to reverse roles this year and to wake me up at 12. Seems he crawled in bed with me. :')

[CindyDawg]

or is it Texas that says that?We say, don't mess with us:')

[CindyDawg]

Yikes. You sounded really bad. When I walked in the first thing he said was is "Reba" coming too?

[CindyDawg]

He fixed breakfast for me while I was still asleep. He bought this huge griddle and made us some pancakes and sausage. During lunch he was talking about learning to make gravy. Not bad for a man that hasn't cooked in 35 years. I was so proud of him but felt like bawling.
