The FreeRepublic Saddle Club thread! - Thread 11

Posted on 01/02/2007 9:57:39 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

The FreeRepublic Saddle Club - (very out of date) Who's Who *pics*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

Hey y'all. I just got back from the doctor's office for my annual probing and mashing so I kinda missed out on all the Sonny discussion, but in my opinion he's got his saddle WAY too far forward. It's probably pinching the poor horse's shoulder blades, even with all that padding, and that's what's making him so unhappy-looking. The poor horse looks like he's thinking "Get this crazy goober off my back!"

Ok, what happens when I go to Photobucket to upload a video is that when I log in, it goes to my photo album and it says "Upload Images & Videos". Underneath that it says "Choose an image (or a video)". The word "video" is blue at that point. When you hover your cursor over it, the cursor turns into a hand and the word "video" turns black. When I click the word "video", the text changes to "Choose a video (or an image). That's when you know that you're ready to upload a video. Then you just click the Browse button to go search for it. When you find it, you double-click on it and it brings the name of the file back and puts it under the "Choose a video (or an image)" heading. Then you just click "Upload". When it's done it'll say "Video Uploaded!", then you just scroll down to the bottom of the page and you should see a still of the first frame of the video displayed in your album. It'll have URL link displayed under it and all you have to do is copy and paste it just like you do from Snapfish.

When I click it it does not change to choose video:(

Not sure why.

Is there some setting you have to set somewhere else?

What should that "uploading options" be set on...does that mean anything?

It doesn't look like there are any adjustments that matter there on video. On photos, you can set the display file size.

"I've never been a horse whisperer but I can remember a few times being a horse screamer. "Damnit Whitey" comes out a lot when he does the big shoe dance on my foot."

I spit my coke out on that one! Too funny.

I've never seen that Pony Boy guy in action but the pictures in his book are really pretty. Can't say I read any of it, though.

Chris Cox is awesome! Did you see the RFDTV thing he did called "Stop the Bucking?" He rode a confirmed bucker and that horse was bucking like a booger. You hardly ever see these clinicians ride a horse with a real problem. They ride perfectly trained horses and tell you what to do when a problem arises.

Well, I loaded some snow pictures...

Looking up at the trees in the yard for Becky :~)

The scotch broom is almost pretty when it's got snow on it :~)

Bay and Pony heading out... (Cyn never left the barn ;~D)

It is alternately sunny and blue and then overcast and more snow will come down.

At the bottom of this picture is the foot ice ball Bay hucked at me, still in mid-air ;~)

Snow falling on ponies...

Bay says "OK - this is turning into real snow now, I'm going back in"

Red squirrel praying for more breakfast... ;~)

"The poor horse looks like he's thinking "Get this crazy goober off my back!"

That's funny.

The problem with Sonny is, he thinks he knows everything and his opinion is the only right one. So now, we see his pictures and the guy definitely has things he needs to work on and change. Proof positive, no way one person can "know it all."

I've not watched much of Chris Cox on RFDTV. I do have it but don't watch much. I should make more of an effort.

He has a "problem horse series" that shouldn't be missed but the bucking horse was the best one, so far. You can order them off his website. chris-cox.com I think.

Well just darn! I don't see any settings anywhere either. I don't know what the deal is. About the only other thing I can offer is a link to their tutorial about how to upload videos, but I don't think that's gonna tell you anything that you haven't already heard...

http://tutorials.photobucket.com/tutorial_8.html

I understand that you can only upload certain file types, and that the size limit is 100MB, but you're not even getting to that point. It's just strange! ~:-/

Cool pics Hair! (literally) They could pass for black and white if you didn't have brown horses. We've got sunny and 50's here today so they really look like a contrast to me.

Yeah the snow really takes the color out of everything... if not for the bit of blue sky from time to time, and the brown horses, it looks pretty bleak :~)

Beautiful pictures:). I love the 4th one, really showcases your trees.

I remember seeing one like that last year, and thinking, those trees can't be that big, must be some kind of camera optical illusion, now I know better:)

The squirrel looks so pitiful because of your caption:).
