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!
My trainer will take in or out five or so horses at a time. It floors me every time that she does it. And they follow her easy as pie.
When I really need on now, I just go in the bosses office:')
It's the alpka mares isn't it? I finally moved Sarah Lee. I was uncomfortable for the both of us. I constantly had to stay on guard and fight them off for her and they beat her up when I put her back in. The long walk is a PITB but it's worth having her out of there.
Yeah - but this lady was doing it from horseback :~D
I didn't find any others... ~shrugs~
Ok. Maybe it was the one with your back to the camera. I didn't think so but....it doesn't matter. Those were two I enjoyed looking at again. I can't pull up the video but I was reading Frog's post. We need to find away to take pics while doing other stuff:')
Where are you? I was looking thru pictures of thread 4 and came across Thunder(?). The one still in the membrane. AWWWW
again.
I got this catalog in the mail. You can buy flower plans with seeds. It shows how to make gardens. Have you seen them? I really like the plans for around trees.
Took me awhile to get back :) I'll try that tomorrow and see what happens. I got home tonight and found I was logged out on here and had to log back in (?) I stay logged in on my home computer. Just one more mystery in a day full of them I guess. At least all of them have been minor ones - anyway, thanks for your help and I'll check first thing in the morning.
Duchess, it was not just you not getting on. I could not log in last night either. Kept getting the error message.
Interesting. How are you going to set up your stable? Would the boarding horses ever get to be on pasture?
Becky
No, never have seen on like that? Do they have a webstie?
Becky
LOL!! I thought about that after I sent it. But dang, that water was COLD!
Becky, I think you need to tell those people to stick it and try one of these saddles I just bought. I tried it on Tennessee and Grace last night, and they're at polar opposites as far as backs go and it fit both of them perfectly. Tennessee is so broad that it layed almost flat, and Grace is so slim and high withered that it looked like it was hanging on a fence post. I took pictures of it on both of them and will upload them as soon as I can. And the cool thing about it is that each side of the bars adjusts to it's side of the back independently of the other. So it would adapt to Harley's "special back problem". And they're a lot cheaper than the one you've ordered too. You can get a brand new one for less than $1000. There's a couple of them on ebay right now with a "buy-it-now" price of less than $700. I paid less than $500 for this one, including shipping.
ROTFLMAO!!! Aw C'mon Becky, go ahead, make my day! (just joking...we don't want you in jail either)
What's the brand? Do they have a web site I could look at? So Is this a one size fits all type thing?
I'm just so afraid of getting stuck with another saddle that doesn't work and having to sell it.
Becky
Well, I'd like them to, but I don't like the idea of clients having to sort through a herd, and I don't like the idea of other peoples horses getting all marked up in pecking order disputes. If horses are gonna be there a long time then maybe, but it seems like if horses are always coming and going the herd would always be fighting over status.
Maybe if everyone had their own run, and every three runs or so share a larger pasture those horses get turned out in... I don't know, still thinking about it.
