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, usually about our horses, sometimes about our dogs, gardens and other stuff we do. :~)
I have a ping list for horse threads that are of interest, and MissTargets will ping everyone most mornings. Let MissTargets and/or me know if you would like to be on the ping list.
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.

New folk and occasional posters, jump right in and introduce yourselves, tell us about your horses, and post pictures if you've got them!
Well the burgers and BBQ chicken sound good to me too. I grilled some burgers for supper last night. I hadn’t had any homemade ones in a while and they sure were good. And they were out of some homegrown beef thay my FIL had put up so that made them even better. Of course anything cooked outside on the grill tastes good to me, even old cheap hotdogs.
That's a neat RV! I'll take that room! :~)
Thanks. Since you are first to arrive, and staying the longest you get first choice of beds. I didn't want you to think I didn't want you in the house:), but I think that bed in the corner of the RV is more comfortable then the extras in the house. In the house I have a single day bed, and a fouton:). (Hope I don't scare the other's off:). The queen size over the drivers is nice, but I don't like climbing the ladder to get up there. The couch, is OK too. But it it entirely up to you:)
I plan on having the RV set up and plugged in in the front yard by the fire pit area. That way drinks and things can be kept there, and will be closer then the house.

Hey, that is a handy little arrangement. Looks cozy. That’s funny about Suzy. Are you taking her or are her fears real?
It’s less than a mile down the road, between here and the forest. I think it’s the same yard the septic truck overturned in last year. It’s the only bend in the road.
I’ll take a look when we get there and pick the best bed then :~)
I do sortof like the idea of being in the RV. I night wander a little in the wee hours sometimes, and it would be good to be able to get up and step out for a smoke without waking anyone up :~)
Dang! I’d SAY something big hit it. Looks like those people in that house are lucky that it didn’t end up in their livingroom!
Oh no, her fears are all imagined, if the RV goes, Susie goes:) She’s my traveling buddy:)

We heard some kind of a bang that woke Gidget up and Rosie heard it too. Too far away for it to be the wreck we heard but it might have been one of our local transformers blowing.
Must be a really bad bend. Did any person get hurt?
You know, I had a feeling you would be more comfortable in the RV. You’re such a private person:). And that is OK, I just didn’t want to put you there, and have you feel we didn’t want you in the house:).
Becky
Oh, I wanted to ask you. We have an espresso maker like the one you have, Mack has used it occasionally, but I have no clue about how to make the stuff, or what to buy. What brand do you drink? What other drinks do you drink...soda, tea, Crown Royal...:). I’m going to make a run to Ark. To get some 6. beer so we don’t have to drink this darn watered down stuff you get here.
Becky
Well I think it looks pretty comfy in there!
It’s not a bad bend really, you can see the whole thing, but the way people fly down that road maybe it doesn’t take much.
I don’t know if there were injuries, or even what hit it. Nothing in the news yet.
OK, we are fixing to head out, so shutting down the computer....you all have a great weekend.
Becky
You have a great weekend too! :~)
A very sad day here in northern Idaho. I just helped my next door neighbor bury his 17 year old Morgan mare, Becka. Died of complications from abcessed front hooves. She was very sweet and devoted to her owner.
Prayers for her horsie spirit.
Oh dear. I’m so sorry for your neighbor and her mare.
err.. ~his~ mare. Sorry.
OH...MY..GAWD!!! That’s revolting! But it’s so cool that you found out what it is.
Have you ever seen such a thing? I had no idea we had such things. I called my dad, he said he used to find them on rabbits when he hunted rabbits in AZ. He didn’t know they were here.
I’ve heard of them before but we called them “wolves”. I don’t know why. I didn’t know they came from a bot fly though, especially one specific to rodents. We do have tons of horse bot flies around here though. They drive Grace crazy when she hears them. She’ll run in the barn like the devil is after her.
I’v gotta run and take Mother to the doctor for a checkup, so I’ll talk to ya later...
