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!
Thanks for the link. I wonder if I should tape some of my horses talking? I can probably tell them what some of the vocalizations are :) "where the heck is dinner" is one.
"Don't leave me here alone!" is another one...
LOL, Rocky talks while you measure his feed, sounds like "hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry" to me:)
Beck
Well heck. It's dark outside. Mine don't really say much.
:) We all could probably teach "horse" and understand most of it.
I don't really know for sure, because we always drive away without delay :~) But Rosie next door says she gets pretty mad. We still give her the Quietex powder, I think it helps. At least she stays in the fence!
I've heard that :~)
I have a way of saying "H-h-h-h-h-h-i Bay" that mimicks his call back to me in the morning :~)
I wonder why my don't talk much. The body language is strong but except for an occasional sigh from SL when I take the saddle off or them neighing to other horses , mine are quiet.
I'd like to hear that :)
Once you have your own place they will. Hair and Becky and I have them right out the back door - they are watching for lights to go on in the morning and someone to look their way at night. Motived by food of course :)
That's probably it:')
They will talk to you when you're the only one to feed them and let them in or out of where they're supposed to be, especially if you run late :~D
I look forward to those days:') I have the picture of how I want things already in my head.
It's probably rather silly to bystanders!
No sillier than the funny voices people use to talk to their dogs, I guess :~D
I have my next place all planned too :~D
Someday, right?
Someday spam :~)
