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!
Well, there's that. LOL! I still think it'd be fun to just ride them along the beach when the tide is out. From your pictures of the area the scenery looks really beautiful.
Changing subjects on ya a little bit...the HH sure has been interesting today. Better'n any movie I've seen in quite a while. I've 'bout run out of popcorn! ;o)
Better than average day in the HH to be sure!
It would be fun to ride them along the beach, either there or at the ocean. I do want to make a trip to the ocean - hopefully this summer.
I just thought it be a kick and a surprise to just show up in front of the beach house unannounced on the horses :~D But it's not as simple as that. I've thought and looked quite a bit at places that are adequate to park the trailer and unload and get them there.
Heck, I'm excited for 'em and I don't even know them. The Cntl A thing was pretty cool too. I didn't know that either. But you can bet I'll never forget it now!
Easy as pie :~D
Yeah - I think Talon tried to be a little too subtle and then ended up having to hit us all over the head :~D
Well since this is being discussed out in the open, did they meet at a moot? How often have they seen each other?
Becky
They 'met' on the thread first :~D
They met in person the first time last summer at Missouri moot at g'nads. There was talk about them after that moot from those that attended (that was the trip I had to cancel, when we were going to come by OK on the way! :~\) that the two of them had been seen off talking to each other apart from the rest :~D
They went on talking and chatting very much in secret from us all through last fall, I guess... they finally told us that they were officially courting a little before Thanksgiving, and he went to CO to see her over Thanksgiving for 3-4 days.
Then she went hope to PA for the holidays and he came to see her at her folk's place and meet the parents for 3-4 days.
And I guess in a couple weeks they will travel to TX to meet ~his~ parents.
Does he live in TX?
Becky
No - he's currently in Iowa... but his folks are in TX.
Goofy horse.
I remember seeing that, but wow! They must've really hit it off. Very romantic!
y'all, I gotta go. Somebody tryin' to call me...later...
Well, courting from a long distance tends to speed up decisions... otherwise it gets expensive!
For example... ecurbh and I 'courted' on the thread, and in private chats and emails for about three months... then he planned a trip out here for a week. And we knew we had to come to a conclusion that week about what to do next.
As it turned out, we made the decision that he would go home and pack and return ASAP.
We were older and not quite as pure as those two are, so we were content to shack up awhile (over his folks' concerns about that) till the final proposal was made, but it wasn't really very long... from November when he moved in, till December 13, over turkey soup :~D
These two are forced by principles to move a little faster with the officials ;~D
I would love to have you join us in the "I love appaloosas" group. :)
No sense taking a chance of getting her feet wet :)
It sounds like things might get interesting next door to you. Maybe both the horse and rider are green?
For a native born Washington horse, she sure has an aversion to mud.
I love those pictures. My horses think if they are in six inches of water we are trying to drown them.
