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!
The way Bay is following Cyn around this morning, I think she may end up with NB shaped footprints on her backside by tomorrow. :~\ She's not quite in a completely cooperative mood yet. Must be spring.
Everyone came over to see what I was up to....
Pony giving her "oooh yeah scratch right there..." look while I scratch her chest.
Bay seems OK on his new feet, but I do think he's moving differently. Not sure if that's good or bad... it's just different. Might just be the square toes... or he might be a little sensitive on his feet because the pads are gone, I don't know. I don't think it's bad to give him a few more days on his own to get used to it before we ride.
Well, we’re headed out, going up to beach house... see you all later.
It sounds like Oscar is doing great. How old is he? (I’m sure you gave us the info once but I’ve forgotten). Stay safe and warm with the bad weather coming. Suddenly, everyone is having a heck of a time with weather extremes.
First we had to capture this little bugger. She was born at the stud owners and been gone for a month. They didn't handle them much and you sure could tell. This one is 2 months old.
Judy's husband and my SIL Ben. She is a pretty little thing.
This filly is 3 months old. Solid colored and is going to be a tank like her dam. The dam has a Superior in halter.
Believe it or not, Oliver is an old man. He’s in his 20s. So I’m going on and on like he’s a youngster, but it just proves that you CAN teach an old dog new tricks!
Nice looking fillies!
Both the fillies are beautiful - what’s their breeding?
I’m so glad Oscar found a *soft place to fall* :)
Soft place to fall?
:) sorta living the good life.
That first filly is marked remarkably like Duchess’s Tuffy, isn’t she? Would make a nice matched team ;~)
They are very much alike. The filly has high white on her legs but that’s about all that’s different.
So far we've just had lots of heavy rain, but we needed it so I'm really glad. I think the storms are supposed to be pretty well blown out by the time that front gets here.
I FINALLY got my taxes done and e-filed today, so I'm sitting pretty now.
Look at the butt on that baby:)

Hey, good for you:)
Here at 7:00 the sun has finally come out, and it’s warming up a bit.
Hopefully Mon. I can ride, Jenny just informed me she is going to come ride Dot in the arena Mon.
Becky
Great pictures:) Sure hope Bay does OK in the new shoes.
Becky
The sun has finally come out here.
Mack got out taxes done yesterday...
Becky
Those are two great looking fillies there. And boy you weren’t kidding about the solid one being a tank. Dang, you could DRIVE a tank through her mama’s front legs. Talk about a chest! Wow!
