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!
Hair and Ecurbh, the horses looks great and I bet you guys are getting excited about going trail riding.
Rain here and tomorrow, but a lot warmer.
Becky, I am so happy that Harley is doing so good. Problems solved and your on your way!
Have a great weekend everyone, I don't think I will be on much. Nicer weather=tons to do.
Good morning:) Thanks:)
Our weather is incredible right now...70's. We had lots of rain last night, lots of loud thunder...I love it when it does that:)
Today it's not suppose to rain thru the day, so I'm taking kids fishing:)...This could be a real experience:)
Becky
~inserts standard "don't forget the camera" mantra~ ;~)
Here's what he's been up to... he put in posts for a chain link fence that is roughly on the property line (that telephone pole is on the line), and has poured a pad there, put in a little storage building, and the dumpters are to the right. He did the posts a couple months ago and hasn't finished the fence. When he does, we've been thinking about moving our gate up to about where that hay is spilled on the driveway and tie in to his fence. That would put our trailer behind the locked gate, and keep people out of there.
Also visible in the pic above is the old Exxon signs... He just switched from Exxon to Texaco, and I hope he doesn't leave all the old signs and crap back there for very long. All the old gas pumps are standing by Rosie's front gate.
The reason he's putting the fence in and all this? He's putting in a garden there... growing garlic there at the moment, in addition to storing a lot of frap in there that I hope he tidies up.
~shrugs~ don't ask me! :~D
We just got done digging worms...yum:)
Becky
Well the garden will be nice to look at...Hopefully with all the work he is doing to make the fence nice, he won't just fill it full of frap.
Getting your trailer behind a fence will be a good thing.
Becky
It will be good when he's all done and we can move the gate. Bigger yard for us... better security for the trailer.
What we've learned about this guy is he STARTS a lot of projects, he's a really busy little worker, he's got all kinds of nice improvement projects half done. A flower bed half-done here, a pile of sand and gravel for an unknown project there. And he does a lot of the landscaping between 10 pm to 2 am.
Kooool worm :~)
Well, I hope he finishes soon:)
We are waiting on Kristy to get back from riding her horse before we go fishing...lordy, you ever try to keep two little boys occupied when they are waiting to do something fun:)
I've got them watching Tale spins...so I can have a moment:)
Becky
Yes, and I'm not very good at it. :~\
Especially when we can hear him using power tools, outside, in the rain at 2 am ;~) Or just shoveling gravel. Shoveling sounds in the background tends to make for unusual dreams.
I think between running the store, it's the only time he has time... I don't know when he sleeps, he has the store open by 5 or 6 in the morning.
Not rain, not sleet, not dark of night will prevent him from at least STARTING another project. :~)
Hello Hair, hello all.
There is now a writer's thread, it's called Righter's Club, fiction only (writers and readers) see you there!
Well, you didn't give us the link, how're we s'posed to get there? ;o)
I found it...

Oh, I want to go fishing with you guys :) That is going to be fun.
FWIW - the only people who do landscaping between 10pm and 2am are Mafia hit men, and they are planting bodies. :)
Well, when you put it that way... that may explain the reason for the new concrete work and some of the new flower beds. :~)
