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'm learning that modern pharmaceuticals can handle a toothache with easy. 'Course my typing might be a little strange.
Posting under the influence...? ;~)
LOL - easy = ease. I guess I am at that.
Good morning:)
Duchess...I’m so sorry about your tooth. Dentist always want to save a tooth...for the two I had pulled it would have been $3200, for root canals...That’s just too much money for me. Luckily I have a dentist who doesn’t try to influence the patients decision, one of the main reason’s I like him.
Looking forward to pictures Of Tuffy in the show:) Good luck.
Hair: Company is a lot of work:)....you guys are just too good of hosts:)
Beaker... well you didn’t say, would you buy him? Maybe it’s turning out to be a blessing that other horse deal fell thru:)
Becky
Well if she moves it won’t be for a while yet, and I can’t see her NOT taking him. If I’m able to financially if the time comes, absolutely.
Now see, I see it different, I think she is getting you in the mind set to buy him now:)...Have you asked her if she would sell him even if she doesn’t move?
Becky
Oh she’s crafty like that, I wouldn’t put it past her. I know that she has been dropping heavy hints that she wants to half lease him.
What a beautiful day, sunny and high 70's. Same as yesterday and predicted for the next couple of days.
A lady called about Bodie on Thursday and seemed very interested. She was suppose to call me back yesterday and come see him today. That didn't materialize.
Good morning. Looks like it’s going to be nice today here too.
Good morning... it might actually be a nice day here today too... it’s sunnier out than they were predicting. We’re getting a LOT of rain... it’s a really strange summer for a lot of people I think!
But right now it’s sunny, and if it stays dry I’m going to lunge horses best I can with slippery footing.
Other than that, we aren’t going to do much :~)
MT - bummer you potential buyer didn’t show... maybe they’ll still call.
It’s going to continue to be hot and humid here. Probably won’t do much other then feed horses.
I have to make a run to Ka. tomorrow. I have a cousin who is selling her mothers stuff (my dad’s sister). They have a desk that my grandfather, who was a carpenter, built that they don’t want. I hate to see things like that trashed, so since they offered it I’m going to go get it. Not sure what I’m going to do with it:), it’s nothing fancy, and I think it’s been painted and ugly green...but still...
Becky
Well, maybe it will be a fun project to repaint, if you don’t like the color.
Is the hot at least drying out your mud on your trails for you? We’ve gotten so much I want to want for several hot days before we hit the trails, they’d be a mess right now.
Yeah, when I rode Thurs. the trails weren’t too bad, and they had dried alot just since Tues. So by now, they should really be about right.
I’m planning on riding tomorrow and Mon. Just easy shorter rides. With having to feed in the morning, I’ll be getting late starts.
Becky
Well I bought that Keiffer. Stole it is more like it. It’s brand new, no wear on any part of that saddle at all, only been ridden in twice... paid $400.00 for it. That’s IT. I now have to buy leathers, stirrups and a girth and pad, but hey. I have to buy a 54” girth... the 50” that we have was a good three inches short on Levi. (The billets on this saddle aren’t the long dressage billets.) Heehee. I also have the Harry Potter book. I’m torn between starting that and browsing through the tack catalog. :-D
Go ahead, read the Harry Potter - that's all anyone will be talking about one Monday. Friday we had 79 requests for holds on the book, only eight in and being cataloged.
CONGRATS on the new saddle! :~)
Here's a picture... they're HUGH. I've never seen daisies so HUGH. I planted these, from one packet of seeds several years ago now, didn't expect them to be that tall.
Here's Gidget looking very put out to be posed in front of them for scale.
I came up here to check FR. But I can’t put that book down.
LOL - enjoyed it, we’ll all still be here when you’re finished. Besides, she says this is the last one.
