The FreeRepublic Saddle Club thread! - Thread NINE

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.

Oh and that was a compliment by the way. I think getting compared to a horse is a good thing:')

Well, I think it's good for the horse... not sure if it's a compliment the other way around :~D

They have grown so big :) They'll come out from under the house for a can of tuna, guaranteed.

Hi BigMack

I know I'll have to find something to do to stay busy. I'd like to start painting again and also design and make some jewelry. And garden :)

I'm just real tired of 9-6, five days a week and commuting in the bad weather.

I'd get hime cantering reliably on the lunge... you can tell a lot about them doing groundwork.
That's what I was thinking of doing. Or requesting. Or something... since it isn't my horse. :-D He's not a brat on the ground. Just aloof. I'm groggy. Just woke up from a nap. I sent you that long post then crashed right away! :-)

I'll get a better picture of him. I was in a rush yesterday because I was running behind. He's that mottled roany-ish color pretty much all through, and has a big white blanket with a couple of scattered brown spots here and there.

I have a TB that I use for trail riding and another one that I am learning dressage on.

The half linger is for my wife to start riding with me.

Hooray another dressage person. ShakeNJake is also a dressage person. (And I am too) :-p Do you do anything else besides dressage? I used to do hunter jumper, and occasionally I trail ride.

Welcome to the thread! I've played with a little dressage schooling, but never been very serious about it... Maybe someday!

I mostly trail ride now... when I was young I showed Arabs and did a little jumping.

Is your wife new to riding? Or just new to riding with you? My husband started riding when we got married, he's had his own horse a little over a year now.
