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The FreeRepublic Saddle Club - (very out of date) Who's Who *pics*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

Heh... It’s funny... everyone there had the same reaction we had... I think she didn’t exactly have the effect they wanted, but they keep her around because she’s oddly fascinating :~)

No idea what she says though :~)

Well, we had a break in the weather, and I went out to play with the horses a little. Took some pictures of course, but unfortunately this one's a little blurry because it's a screencap from a movie... Look how full of himself Bay was!

This one is NOT blurry... I was switching back and forth between video and pictures, and wish this part was on video... it's right about the time he came in close and turned ass to me and bucked!

I worked him longer after that little display... till he was winded. I may have a horsie horse on my hands when we go ride next :~D

Here's video... you can here him making A-Rab nose noises... Video of Bay moving 7-28-07

Robo Ranger... She's at the Weyerhauser Forestry Exhibit at Mt. St. Helens :~D She's really disturbing :~)

If you try to photograph her, she just looks like this:

But I figured out if you videoed her, the video could pick it up. What they do is display a video image on her face, and she talks... and she looks quite real, except nothing moves but her expressions, and she's way too animated in her expression... so it's just really disturbing.

Here's video...

They should sell Robo Ranger bobble head dolls in the gift shop.

Make sure the face glows in the dark.

Eeeeee...

Disturbing is right. I think it’s the completely over-the-top perky voice and expressions, whilst she’s otherwise completely immobile. Even video doesn’t completely capture how scary-yet-fascinating she truly is.

I bet that would be a good money making item:)

You should send them a suggestion. LOL...especially the glow in the dark.

I just got back from Debbie’s, you didn’t remind me...but I remembered.

It’s going to be really easy. I hadn’t thought about the fact that most of the horses are on pasture, so only a few have to be hayed.

The only part that will make me nervous is I have to move a mare and her 2 month old baby, that likes to bite, from their stall to the round pen and then back to the stall at night....the baby is pretty full of himself, and as I was leading the mom, Debbie said to be careful that he didn’t run up behind me and grab me...yikes...he sticks close to mom...I hope in the next 10 days he doesn’t get adventerous:\

Yikes... two months is old enough to start to get a little adventurous. Is she opposed to thumping the biting? They shouldn’t be allowed to bite!

Glad you remembered, I’m a lousy reminder I guess!

No, she doesn’t mind thumping, she said knock him to the ground....on a deal like that I wouldn’t care if she minded or not...I’m not getting bit, at least not without there being reprecussions for the biter:)

I hate my computer at work - I get red X's, no pictures, I get monitored, I get knocked off the net, I get forbidden!

Becky, Hair - I love the pictures although I could have done without Robo Ranger :) The playhouse would look good camo, don't you think? Good luck with the feeding job and training the baby not to bite.

Beaker - happy birthday :)

Miss Targets, congrats to your friends. That was the show we were supposed to go to - sigh.

I'm sorry I don't get on much but I am reading (at work, just don't tell anyone) At home I'm dealing with garden until late.

That robo ranger is scary. She probably makes little kids cry :)

I get on so late, no one is around.
