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!
Here's a pic of it a month ago when the tulips wre so pretty. The tulips are gone but the pansies look pretty much the same right now...
A lot of it depends on how early it starts getting hot. They pretty much melt in the heat. I think mine were still blooming pretty good when I pulled them out, but they had started looking kinda ratty so I just went ahead and did it. I replaced them with verbena and
Well, I guess I just had a Senior Moment because I totally forgot to finish that sentence. LOL! And now I can't remember what the other stuff I put in there was called! Jeez!
Thank you, we are very proud of him. He is #2 dog All breeds in Canada and #3 Irish Setter in the US.
Some women would kill for that hair! He grows so much of it, swimming in the lake everyday I guess helps.
Good job Shelley! Funny about Porter and the duck. Those big brave boys sure don't like those duck pecking at them.
You mean that dog actually gets to go outside?! I would’ve figured that they’d keep him inside in a body stocking all the time to keep his coat protected. I’m glad to hear that he actually gets to have a life.
Oh yeah, he runs up and down the mountain and plays in the lake everyday. Muscle tone is as important as coat in a sporting dog.
They sure do love running up and down and playing in the water. My new pup is absolutely mad for water - she fluffs up her hackles when she sees the river . . . of course, she fluffs up her hackles when I throw her a bumper . . . or if she sees a squirrel . . . or if she's arguing with Shelley over who gets the bone . . . I guess you could say she's a fluffer on little provocation.
My youngest told a girl, when he was about 12 that she had hair like his dog. He meant it as a compliment. She was insulted:’)
My husband is threatening to go duck hunting in the front yard. I’ve got to get some pictures up. He says he knows I’m feeding them or they would have left by now. Two tried to follow me in the house. I don’t know why they show up when they see me and follow me around like that (grin)
I think I would have said “did you know him”:’)
I have got to post a pic of Cocoa. I don’t care what her momma is, this dog is not a lab and she’s getting ugly. Yesterday I found cotton all over the yard. She got hold of a pillow that I left on the trampoline. This weekend I had to pick up a bag of yard trash she got into. I was fussing at her and the “enabler” says “she’s got manners. Look, she is sitting right beside you” Yeah she was, as she watched me clean up her mess.
Congratulations
~chuckling~
Yes.
In water the goose had a distinct advantage. ;~)
They're very sensitive to group criticism.
I think you’re probably right. He just left it very open ended and I wasn’t sure what he wanted me to say!
What you said was just fine.
Yeah - it’s really awkward... and his English isn’t that good, so it makes even small talk a little awkward.
