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!
Heh.... The twists and turns and mysteries are the whole point, so I'm not gonna tell ya anything :~)
Oh, do you watch it?
Definitely the twists are the point? Neither Mack nor I saw it coming about the girl (I can't remember names yet), being the one who was in handcuffs? That was good:)

I'm waiting for series 3 to go on sell. I've seen "it" but I'm still not sure what "it" is yet. If you don't like scifi you may be disappointed though. What is intersting is how every one one the island is linked to somewhere in their past. I'm not sure if the writers even have a plot or just are writing this up as they go though:')
Yeah - we watch it.... didn't start till season 1 and 2 were out on DVD. Watched them over a couple long weekends the way you are. It ain't as good as 24, and they spend quite a bit of time repeating themselves or going off on rather annoying plot twists, but if it's raining out, it's not a bad way to spend the day. Particularly season 1 and 2. Three is still going on now, and the jury is still out :~)
We were wondering how many seasons it had been on?
Becky
It's halfway through season 3 now.
The 4th is starting.
This is still considered season 3 - they just took a break for a couple months.
Well I guess that explains why I can't find it yet.
Yeah - it would :~)
Hmmm?
I missed these posts till just now, somehow!... This is a year end banquet for the club or something? Point awards for the season? Neat... I guess I was never a part of stuff like that when I was showing... dressing up for an evening affair and the whole deal.

Another photo essay guys. Bob and I took the Suzuki and the queenslands and went up in the hills today. We ran into this guy on on way up.
A picture of the view at one point.
A band of wild horse - 8 total, these are the mares and youngsters.
The stallion at the back.
Zoom of the mares.
Zoom of the stallion.
The next two are poor pictures but the subject is outstanding. For years there have been sightings of a white stallion in these hills. I had never seen him but Bob had. Then about 8 mos ago the news was full of the fact that he had been captured along with some of his mares. There are fund raisers going on to support him going to a sanctuary, etc. Well, guess what. I don't know who they caught but our white stallion is still way back in the hills :)
A spring bubbling out of the ground on top of one of the hills. At one point it was fenced off and a tank put in when they were running cattle. Cattle are gone and so is the tank but the spring is still there, visited by the wild horses.
Coming out of the hills, we passed the band of horses again, here is the stallion bringing up the rear.
I see that Blue is still in the gangly stage -- that's a "puppy sit" if ever there was one! Ruby does that too.
She graduates from her obedience class next Monday night -- she is the "demo dog" . . . mostly because everyone else in the class is a first-time dog owner so the trainer's extra hard on me (I get distractions in our stays!)
It sounds like Ruby is doing great :) When do they get out of the puppy stage? It was so nice being out with Buddie and Zuni today, they have brains, they mind :)
But I think Ruby is going to go faster.
Her obedience class improved about 100% when we got a pinch collar. I never used a pinch on Shelley, probably why it took two years.
Is that stallion all white, or do I see a couple of chestnut patches on him?
