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!
Reptiles too :~D
Even more of a menagerie than I thought!
Just finished watching Perfect Disaster - Solar Storm. I'm really glad I live in the country.
Oh yeah? What happens in the city? Electrical problems?
Is that the one where it freezes?
No this is a Discovery program where solar flares take out the transformers for the power grid world wide. No electricty. At least in the country I don't have to deal with no elevators, traffic lights, fires, etc. etc. And I've got kerosene lamps. Just have to figure out what to do with freezers full of food.
:) the one where it freezes is the Day After Tomorrow I think. I watched that - now everytime it snows I figure we're getting set for another ice age. Well - I really don't like winter so it feels like it.
Funny. Traffic is horrible around here but the few instance when the lights don't work people shape up, get courteous and treat them like 4 ways. I have a lamp in most rooms with flashlites. I have two gas generators also. Power outages are an expected way of life around here. You know, in a disater you are supposed to cook the meat in the freezer and have a Texas block BBQ after the storm passes:').
I liked that show. The smart guys here say it wasn't realistic but I liked the special effects.
With two freezers full of pork, elk, buffalo and deer, you all head this way then when the power goes out. It'll be a heck of a BBQ.
It's hard to believe I'm already talking to you again about hurricanes. The horses aren't due for vaccinations until July but I'm going to go ahead and get them popped and get their coggins and health certificates ready in case we need to move fast.
I would if I were you. You never know when you'll need to have it done. Don't forget West Nile either. We picked Apr 1st years ago and that's when everyone gets theirs. If West Nile gets bad again, we'll give another booster this summer.
Time to say good night :) Work tomorrow - but only 16 more months.
472 days at MN :')
a bike
oh. Duh lol
How is he doing?
Good Morning! Cute graphic!
Thanks. You would never know it's spring thou, temps in the high 20's this morning. The snow storm that is coming from the West, just might dump on us about Wednesday.
