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!
You guys are going to shame me into walking aren’t you. :) When I retire I’ll start walking again.
We’re not having a problem with rain but our hay is going to be short and expensive this year also. Lots of it going out of state. We just contracted for 54 tons, hopefully to be delivered in the next couple of days. That will get us through until next year.
Have a great day. Congratulations to Amy and good luck to Allison.
According to meterologists be are about to have some changes. The low currents are being replaced with a high. That might mean storms for us. Not sure how it might affect yall.
Checking in... we didn’t end up going to the volcano today... it hadn’t cleared by 11, so we decided we’ll try it again tomorrow. We did go for a walk around the falls park.
I just checked - our forecast is very boring - highs 99+, lows mid 60’s, winds 5-10 miles per hour. It’s the same each day for the 5day forecast.
Just hot here.
:) I’ve decided that once the temperature climbs past 99, it doesn’t matter what it says - it’s HOT.
Good morning.
Sounds like your visit is going well. Hope the volcano shows itself today.
I’m hoping to ride a bit today. It’s not raining, but I’m sure the mud is going to be horrible.
Becky
Beautiful day and I am heading to the fairgrounds again. Pleasure show is today, so I will take some pictures.
Hope you can get a good ride in, Becky.
Everyone have a great weekend!
Looks like we were good to wait... the mountain is out and clear today :~)
Mount St. Helens VolcanoCam - Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument
Amy in Generation Gap Horsmanship riding PC. The adults ride one way around the ring and then the kids ride the other way. Her and Dakota rode together. They won Second.
My SIL, Ben riding Vegas, Ivy's horse. They won a sixth.
Amy and Dakota cutting up with the Judge.
Hard to tell what Ben was thinking...lol It was real windy today and someone's hat blew off right in front of Vegas and he jumped it while Ben was riding. The whole crowd got a laugh out of that.
Alison in Stick Horse costume class. Those kids were so cute! Everyone won first again.
Hope you took the camera today :) I just looked at the mountain, it looks like you had a beautiful day for it.
Your trainer must think you and Levi are a good match.
Those are great pictures :) Everybody looks good. Allison is a doll in the stick horse picture.
We did have a good day, and we did take pictures... but I haven’t uploaded them yet. :~)
The mountain has changed even since last year. It’s neat to see it every year.
Hope you are all having a good time and good weather for the visit. Looking forward to the pictures when you get a chance :)
I seem to remember you saying you have orange trees. I have some questions about them. I would really like to get an orange tree and a lemon tree but I don’t know how they would do as house plants here.
The kids ride one way and the adults ride the other? At the same time, or in groups?
