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!
Further south... Tumwater/Olympia area.
Thanks, you're too kind :~)
Speaking of talent with the camera, Duchess just one two gift certificates from Horse.com for her ad-pictures. They wanted pictures they could use on the website, using Horse.com products :~)

You may have a point there about the static. Lord knows I blow the ends out of my fingers every time I touch something these days, and my poor cats get zapped every time I pet them. You can just feel the crackling in their coats when you run your hand over them. That can't be comfortable. I've been tempted to rub them with a dryer sheet, but a good coating of dust seems to help the problem too. I've noticed that the static is considerably less after the cats have taken a dust bath. I'm sure that vaccuming the horse makes him look better but he'd probably feel better if he was still dusty.
Hey, congrats Duchess! Good job with the pictures!
I've got to try to take some with product in them. I looked and don't have any. Lots of horse blankets, but ours look too old. Should have taken a good one of Cyn's new blanket before she got it all dirty.
I think we've covered this before, but my ex-brother-in-law is a taxidermist and used to live in the Redmond Area ... It's just one of those names that jumped out at me when I saw it.
Hey, that's neat - I'll have to check it out :)
Thanks, I have yet to see it :)
Sounds like Bordello :) I guess there is some similarity to kennel cough and what you might pick up in a bordello.
Yeah I do have blankets and will use them if it gets too low. IMO The cold doesn't make them sick though. I think it is the heat that follows. They get snotty sometimes. My horses seem to have been bumped to the "who cares, their owner is a nobody" and this "nobody"I'm moving them up the list where they belong.
Just my 2 cents. Leave it off. Things are good. You don't know the problem but you seemed to have fixed it. I really think you have a short.
They made the big time!!!!
How about giving Country Supply the picture you took of Bay & Pony in their blankets in the snowstorm?
Weather Synopsis...A significant winter storm is on track to impact the region beginning during the day on Friday, and continuing through the weekend. An ice storm is expected to affect the area...with damaging accumulations of ice expected over a widespread area. Now is the time to prepare for a significant ice storm...including the possibility of extended power outages. Check back here often for the latest information.

Looks like we might get a whiff of it here before it's gone.
Oh boy - are you set up for that if it hits. I've been reading about 3" of ice in places, that sounds like a lot of trees and power lines down.
Nah. Just rain and maybe in the 30's at night, monday and tue. If it freezes they shut our roads and we stay home. We do get excited though:')
:) At 2:00pm today when I headed home from work because of the snow and ice, it was 16 degrees. I really hate winter.
I know. I would too if I had to live thru it ever winter , but....I really enjoy the pics:')
Our winters aren't normally this bad. At least the days are getting longer and I only have five more months of this. By mid-May it should be nice (I hope)
