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 guess...it's just starting to wear on me, about where we're going with her. I really hope to either see vast improvement by Thurs. or none at all...that way it won't be hard.
Becky
I understand. It is hard.
This means having to move her at night tho, probably to the trailer. There's no way to enclose her to put the heater in.
The poor thing is really starting to get rank too, but there is no way I can bathe her...it would hurt her too much.
Becky
Well, she doesn't mind being rank, at least. Maybe there will be a day when she's feeling better and it's warm enough to hit her with the hose outside.
Poor thing indeed. That's a pretty good set up for the day.
REally...you don't think they notice stinking to high heaven? I hope not, for her sake, because it's really bad.
Yeah, it is a nice place for her, and really I don't mind, just one of those worries that eats on you thru the day.
Becky
just one of those worries that eats on you thru the day.
After the days I've had lately, I completely empathize with that!
Well yeah, you're right. I hadn't thought about that, but dam, having to waller around in your own urine....ack...
That cushion is getting pretty bad too, but I can't wash it either, I have nothing else to put her on.
Ok, enough of my worries:), I think I'm going to saddle my horse, it's cloudy but warm, and no rain is forecast till this evening.
Becky
Well, it beats wallering around in someone elses... ;~)
Well I'm glad to see that you're back in touch with the world. We missed you yesterday, but Rosie and Ramius were nice enough to let us know what happened. I'm glad that the wind didn't get any worse than it did.
We're enjoying the calm today :~) And enjoying being in touch :~)
For scale I took this one, this is my hand next to a foot print of Grizzly.
As I was riding thru this sandy spot, I just happen to look down and saw this foot print
I'd have to say some kind of cat...bob, lynx,...???
Becky
Bobcat only weigh 20 pounds. That's no bobcat. Let me do some looking!
It's not a bear...
First, an adapter for standard water bottles that includes a carabiner to attach the bottle to various rings. The main part seems to be rubber, and is pulled over the neck of the bottle:
Next, for lazy dog owners, a "snack shooter" that launches doggie disk treats:
And the last item from X-treemgeek catalog: the knifespork:
Finally, for biking or trail riding, a frontpack
Inside, it has all the room you need for ID, cellphone, money, MP3 player, and large handgun:
Cool stuff, Mr. Gadget! I like the bottle with the carabiner dealy on it, and the frontpack seems like a real good concealable pack too, under a coat or big sweatshirt. Not super accessible, but more accessible than if you left it at home. :~)
Hey thanks for the web site. I guess it probably isn't anything other then a dog, but darn, I'd sure hate to run into that dog:)...Sure looks big.
I've got some more pictures loading nothing special, just trail pictures.
Becky
Going down a pretty steep hill, altho it's hard to tell in a picture.
The creek at the bottom. I'd like to know if something lives in that hole in the bank on the other side:)
Becky
Is that big dog/coyote/wolf hybrid thing you saw last summer ??? that big?
