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 cold too. It's in the 40's
LOL! As a pilot it was fun to take some non-pilots flying. Knowing that they know there is nothing they can do to fly the airplane......... Heh!
Going to 30 here tonight. I am ready for spring time.
Wow! Nice Car! Does that mean you get to buy more horsey stuff now? ;o)
Pony had a patch of skin behind her ear that got all scaly, I picked at it trying to figure out what was going on and a whole big piece of hair and hide came off... clean skin underneath, like the outer layers had just died.
Never did figure out what it was... I feared it was fungus or a parasite... emailed and sent pictures of it to my vet, and he wasn't sure... said he'd come out if it grew... The hair grew back fine. ???
Exactly. The skin looked dead or infected. His is from chasing and getting caught though:')
I don't ~think~ that's what it was with the pony... would be an odd spot
Got to go get my doctor. Talk later.
I would have taken a picture but my son borrowed my camera and can't find the cord.
I think they're out ~cruisin'~
LOL, that's excactly where we've been. Now he is out washing it, and then he is going to go pick Jenny up from work. I couldn't go, there's only room for two:) We'll probably have to wench her out of it:).

Yeah, it's goofy looking, but I bet it's going to work great, and who cares what you look like out on a horse:)
Becky
That's a great hat! :~D
Is there any possibility he got some kind of a puncture wound at that sight? I guess no sign of infection or anything, huh?
Almost looks like some kind of mange doesn't it?
That's what I thought. But it went away without treatment. ~shrugs~
Bob talked to the feed store today. If we buy a pallet of Strategy at a time, we will get four bags free $46.00 worth, plus 5% discount. That's not much but it does run the cost down from $575 to $500.25. We will have to store the pallet in the barn alleyway but it should be fine there. They gave Bob the number to their feed expert (? Purina maybe) who said it should store okay for the month. We'll see, I guess.
I don't know that I've ever seen mange on a horse to tell the truth, but I have no idea what else it could have been.
I think a month at a time would be OK. Before the guy in Bixby started stocking it for us we had to go to another town, years ago. We bought a ton at a time to save makeing so many trips. That lasted about a month.
