The FreeRepublic Saddle Club thread! - Thread 11

The FreeRepublic Saddle Club - (very out of date) Who's Who *pics*

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!

Might as well, it’s just helping the shedding process along a little :~)

[HairOfTheDog]

What time was he suppose to be there?

10 - he's sometimes been as late as 11. It's 1:20 now... we turned the horses back out.

[PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain]

Well you have more patience then I would...but then what can you do.

I guess I’m just going to go to town and we’ll watch some more Lost.

The two groups just met...I really don’t like that cop lady, but I’m afraid she is going to hook up with Jack, and I’ll be disappointed.

I’m pretty sure Sawyer survives his gunshot wound, I think I’ve seen him in the previews this year....I hope anyway, I like him:)

I hope the farrier gets there soon, I’m excited for you to go on your ride tomorrow.

Becky

[HairOfTheDog]

You like Sawyer?

I think he’s obnoxious :~)

[PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain]

Sawyer’s cool:)He may be obnoxious but he’s got heart underneath it all, and some vulnerabilities. That cop lady is just a bully with a gun.

Becky

[HairOfTheDog]

Oh - I don’t like her either...

But Sawyer? I hope a polar bear eats him. :~)

[PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain]

NOOO...

OHHHH..there’s a pretty horse:)

Becky

[CindyDawg]

Hey yall. What’s going on?

[Beaker]

Hey everyone, just thought that I'd check in. Been really busy with work/family issues so that's why I've been away from the thread for a while. Looks like everyone is planning a Saddle Club Ride, huh?

Only horsey thing that I have to report is that I'm probably going up to Maine next weekend to help a good friend of mine out with a horse situation. She has an appy/arab, and I guess that tensions are getting high at the barn that she's boarding at, so I'm going up to take a look/lend some moral support. We'll probably go for a ride, and yes, there will be pictures! I promise! :-)

[CindyDawg]

Hi Beaker. Yeah I’ve been super busy too. Have fun on your trip.

My plans are to be there depending on my school schedule, of course. Next semester is a bit lighter as I will no longer have skills, just clinical and lecture. As soon as I get the fall calendar, I will have a better idea. I should get that the last week of this semester. They usually give us a CD with the next semester syllabi and the calendar the last week of class.

[PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain]

Hey yourself:)

I've been working on getting my garden covered up. We've got rain and freezing temps on the way for the next three nights:(, gosh, I thought I was done with this for the year, it is April after all.

Becky

[PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain]

Did you all see the dates we picked this afternoon?

Sure hope everyone can make it?

The weekend of Oct. 20 seems to be when the biggest majority of folks will be here, but anyone can come anytime. Just let me know.

Becky

[Beaker]

I’d love to come, but I would probably have to fly out... would that be a problem?

[PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain]

Not at all. I’m sure I can round you up a horse:) and I’ve got an extra nail we can hang you on:) for the night.

Becky

[HairOfTheDog]

I’ll be flying out too :~)

[Beaker]

I'll be more sure about it as the date gets closer, but I would love to meet everyone, and I definitely have the motivation. It's good to know that at least someone else is flying out. Sounds like a lot of people are driving?

I’ve got an extra nail we can hang you on:) for the night.
The good thing about me is that I don't take up much room at all. :-)

[PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain]

Good heavens this is getting worse all the time...they’re talking snow now...

See what I mean about our weather:\

Becky

[PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain]

MissTargets, Frog, Bladerider, and ShakenJake so far are driving.

Hair and ecurbh will fly here too.
