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!
I know:(
As soon as it gets airborne, I’ll see if I can post a picture here, and not just a link.
Becky
Yes, we’ll be there!
What time will we ride tomorrow if we do? The later in the afternoon the better for me, but I can work around anything.
Well, it's needed doing for a long time but I just hadn't been using it so it didn't really matter, other than I let it get way too far gone. So this was just a good excuse to get it done. Of course it's a half-ass job, but it'll be better than it was and I can do a better job later. I've used 3 cans of gloss white rustoleum so far and a lot of elbow grease, but that's a heck of a lot better than the $3000 the guy quoted me to sandblast and paint it.
It’s OFF:)
Becky
Liftoff! OK, ~now~ I can get in the shower.
We will do it in the afternoon, if it’s not raining. We’ll come to town for lunch, and you can lunch with us or just meet us somewhere to follow us here.
Becky
Heh, that’s entirely within the realm of possibility! You do remember that I forgot ALL my tack one time.
That sounds great!
Yep, she’s off! Looping up over the ocean!
WOO HOO!!
Well, I did forget the horse one time on my way to a competition...luckily my son stopped me and asked “don’t you want the horse”.
Becky
Praying for everyone’s safety - looking forward to pictures. Especially Frog’s horsetrailer. I need to do that to ours.
She has crossed into Oregon now.
I can’t figure out how to post the picture, so you all can keep up with the link ecurbh gave.
Becky
Will do, thanks.
LOL!! I was to the point last night that if it was ON the trailer, it got painted. Didn't matter if it moved or not. ;o)
Hair has left the ground!
I can’t believe you did all that. But that’s about the way we do things here, last minute. One time when the kids were still here, we were going on a big campout ride with the saddle club, and Mack decided the trailer needed a new floor the day before we left...another time he decided the wheel bearings need to be repacked....drives me crazy:) I hate last minute jobs of that magnitude:)

If she doesn’t call by the time I leave for Hair I’ll just give her a call.
