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.

I know all about that 3ft down stuff. Lee broke off the freeze-free faucet at my BIL's house with the tractor and we had to dig it up and fix it. Digging through 3 feet of waterlogged Alabama clay ain't fun. And trying to get the pipe clean enough to glue is a real challenge too. It ain't a job I'd wish on anybody. And you've got to wonder, why did that one freeze and the other's didn't, unless maybe the drain field got stopped up and it couldn't drain the pipe anymore. You'll find out in the spring I guess.
Boy, those sure some big fat birds on the bird bath there! Are they doves? You ought to go take some hot water out there and melt the ice so they can drink.
Yeah, they are dove. And yeah, I need to take them some water:), just haven't got around to it yet.
Becky
Speaking of profile pages, I really should update mine. Being as I don't trap shoot anymore. Got to put some "Bodie" pictures on it.
Your doves would like some water please :~)
The sun does make it all look more cheerful! What a fast change for you, after warm weather last week.
How's the machine? Staying warm?
Does look pretty. The horses are enjoying the sun at least. Maybe the sun will melt some of the ice. I bet it is rather crunchy to walk on.
The doves have water.
The machine is warm:), we never lost power.

All's good then. It's still remarkably cold here, and even with packing all the water out from the house, I sortof like it. It's bright and cheery. We might get some more snow tomorrow, that'll clean it up, ours is getting a little worn down.
Beautiful pictures but it makes me cold just looking at them :)
So hey - Jack really bites eh? ;~)
I remember Alabama red clay :), fortunately, we're pretty much sandy.
Dang, that IS pretty cold! Y'all can just keep all that cold stuff out there thankyouverymuch! ;o)
Rain here too. It was freezing this morning, which made it tough going into work. It rained on Sunday so I didn't go to the clinic. They have an indoor arena, but I wanted to sit some and not stand all day.
Wimp! ;o)
They didn't even have folding chairs?
Yeah, I'm a wimp :-) Sunday was just too gross wet and cold to go out.
Aw c'mon Beaker, you're no fun to mess with! You just caved right in there. ;o)
Seriously though, I understand. When you're out in the cold and are doing something, then it's not as bad as when you're just sitting there watching. I guess the movement keeps you warmer or something. I'd've been tempted to just sit by the heater with some hot chocolate and read a book.
LOL! Well, at least you had a good excuse.
OK, I read this TWICE and both times I read
"When you're OLD in the cold ...."
I was thinking, Geeeeez, Frog, getting a little personal aren't you ... hehehehehehe
