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The FreeRepublic Saddle Club - (very out of date) Who's Who *pics*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

That too:)

Yestday Mack was home all day, and actually told me to go ride awhile:, “you’ll feel better”. I just need some sunshine.

I’ll spend money on horses but not on therapy. Paying for someone to ask me, “how does that make you feel” would really depress me:’)

What he really meant was..."Get out of here, you're getting on my nerves!" ;o)

Well it’s good to laugh. Now, I have to shower and get out of here. I have my first medication aide class testing with the state today.

You’re right Cindy, I’d never pay anyone to listen to me moan about my “problems” heck I have the internet to do that on:)

Heh, that’s what I told my husband this morning when I was telling him about the possible $1,000 repair bill on my jeep. It’s been in the shop since last Friday. The cruise control doesn’t work and I’m getting speeding tickets left and right, the “check engine” light comes on all the time, and it’s been running really ragged. They replaced the EGR valve, thateverthehellthatis, a servo on the cruise control, the oxygen sensor, and the computer and it still wasn’t fixed. We had just replaced the computer ourselves in Feb, but I bought it at O’Reilleys so their warranty covered that, but now they’re down to tracing down wires. They’ve found two that were shorting out on the block, so that took care of the EGR and the oxygen sensor, but they were still troubleshooting the cruise....at $45 an hour. Heaven help me! If it ain’t horses, it’s vehicles.

Catching up? No. Keeping up is more like it. Doesn't pay around here to be outo f the office.

You got that right. Yesterday was hectic to. Had to take Hubby to ER Monday night. His difribulator went off. Said it felt like being kicked by a mule in the chest. Found out he went into V Fib and his heart rate jumpted to 250 beats per minute! He came home last night, Dr said he is fine and the ICD did what it was supposed to do.

Wow, that’s scary, for him and you too. Were you there with him when it went off or was he at work?

I was on my way home, a mile from the house and he called me on the cell and asked where I was. I said a mile away why? He told me his difribulator went off and I asked if he called the Dr and he said no he called me. And what was I suppposed to do? Anyway, he called the Dr and they said to go to the ER so they can monitor him and check the ICD the next day since it was after hours and it had never gone off before. Doc said if it goes off again to just come in the next day to have it read unless it continually goes off then go to ER.

Just like a doctor! Don't call me, just go to the ER and let them deal with it.

Actually it was the on call cardiologist in the group he uses and he came to the ER to see him. This group of doctors have been great.

Well that’s good to hear. Cardiologists as a whole seem to be better about taking you seriously than most other doctors, I guess because if you’re to the point of needing to see one of them then it’s pretty dang serious anyways.

When I have a horse question, I come to you all because you have the best answers.

Re riding: can you explain the following terms (in bold) to me.

We rode the dragoon-seat, no posting.

Thank you in advance.
