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, OK, If I don’t get any special orders, I’ll just get what I think is the most likely to be drunk:), probably what my kids like, since they will most likely come for the cook out.
Becky
I wondered that too, but I figured chances of that were pretty slim. That's a pretty crowded area and they ride gaited so I didn't figure y'all ran in the same circles. She said they lived near Ravenna. I'm at home now and don't have her e-mail here but I'll PM her name to you tomorrow.
I’m a caffiene-free Diet Dr. Pepper fan, but don’t worry about me, I’ll bring my own. And don’t worry about food. I’ll eat anything that don’t eat me first. ;o)
Good morning:)
Looks to be another beautiful day here, nice fall weather. Last night when I went out to feed, I had to put a long sleeve shirt on, the evenings are getting cool. Great weather to sit outside around a fire:)
Some more cleaning today, and then a ride. For sure Rocky, and hopefully Harley too.
Frog: Where’s Blade been?
Hair: How’s the packing going?
I’m really getting excited!
Becky
Packing’s OK, trying to decide what to bring!
I’m going to go shopping for some clothes today.
Need coffee :~)
Finally getting some rain today.
Becky, what does your weather predict for next week?
About 15-20 miles from me. They might do some riding at West Branch State Park. That is in Portage County and there is a chapter of the Ohio Horsemans Council, that maintains the horse trails. I met the President, his wife and another couple from Portage at the last ride I attended.
The weather...depends on which station you listen too:)
Mack looked at the national 15 day forecast yesterday and they are showing partly cloudy, highs in the 70’s low’s in the 50’s for the days you all would be here...which would be perfect.
I watched a local station this morning and they have put a chance of rain in the forecast for the beginning of next week...I’ll have to watch to see how the rest of the week goes. They were predicting the same temps. tho as the national forecast.

EWWWWWWWW:)
Becky
Yeah - it is EEEEWWWW. But I don’t have anything else I want to wear. Hopefully I’ll be able to score some stuff. :~)
Our weather made a big change. Last week the A/C was on, this week the heat. The 70's sounds perfect, without the rain.
Yeah, the weather is changing here too. I had to put a long sleeve shirt on last night and this morning to go out and feed.
The lower temps will make it nice to sit outside around a bonfire in the evenings tho.
Becky
Well, I mostly shop at Value Village for these kind of casual clothes, where $100 can buy me a whole new pile of stuff.
If I get lucky. Sometimes it’s a bust :~\ You never know what you’re gonna get.
BladeRider’s had 3 different projects going on at the same time at work that have really kept her nose to the grindstone and she flew out yesterday morning bright and early headed to Puerto Rico on business. I told her I hoped she got so see some of the sights while she was there but she said probably not, with the way they had her meetings scheduled. Bummer that! She’ll be back Friday afternoon though and plans to meet me on Saturday morning for a ride in the Forest so that’s good. It’ll really do her good to get away from work for a few days when we head out there. And me too for that matter!

Well, just know, you will not need anything fancy to go any of the places we will go. I’ll be in jeans and Tee’s the whole time.
Becky
Oh lovely! I just hate doing that. I haven't bought any clothes that didn't come from a catalog or Wal-Mart in like 20 years.
Oh, that’s right, I forgot about her trip to PR...I was just wondering where she’d been.
Becky
You’ve got FRemail...
