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 found an old ham radio reciever similar to this one. It is over fifty years old and still works great but it weighs a ton.
Wow. This one looked big in the picture but was actually very small. I listened to tv last night.
"Kittens are so cute."
And they know it too. And as far as that goes, I have never seen a dumb animal. Usually they are all smarter than I. : )
I don't do good with them though. I've always taken in pound cats and they run off when they get outside. Even that one that was at a nursing home. Dogs stay close though.
I plan to buy one like yours, before Aug 22 ... just in case.
Mine is for Debby:')
Oh good lord....I hope someone was prosecuted over this.

To keep cats they must stay inside. The bad thing is they do not know how to take care of themselves outside after being housebroken.
I just hate never letting an animal out though. Once I let cats out (under supervision) every time the door opens they want back out.
Hurricane Debby??
Maybe. Some are predicting she will be born tomorrow.
With their toys there is enough to keep them busy. Usually my cats are terrified of going outdoors. When you carry them through the door they are climbing over your back trying to get back inside.
Uh oh, you better be stocking up or making plans to leave.
You know, they didn't mention prosecution, I think they were happy enough that the guy just said they could take the pony.
Well he needs to be shot in the toe.
Mack has to go stripe a lot tonight, I think I'll go with him. Maybe even take some pictures. I don't have any in my picture library of them working...probably need them:)
Becky
Read the story but did not understand if the pony recovered. Is it alright now?
She's on the road to recovery... there's a lot of permanent bone loss in the foot, so she'll never be really sound to ~work~, to whatever degree any mini really works, and she'll be on a very careful diet to ensure she doesn't founder (again)... she's going to a mini rescue farm in Arizona, they'll know what to do.
Both sound like good ideas :~)
Good news then. The only work I have ever seen a mini do is to be hitched to a tiny cart in a parade.
Usually pulling the pooper scooper wagon behind bigger horses :~)
