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.... did ya go? or not? No biggie... I just was looking forward to the report :~)
I’m heading out here in a few minutes ot go feed for Tiff again.
No, I didn’t ride, but Kristy climbed on Harley in the arena. He did OK, but he’s still got a slight limp:(....I’m calling the vet Mon. to see if she thinks he should still be limping, and if not what to do.
Becky
Here's pics from Tiff's.
Tell and Mia...
Don't let the first picture of Mia fool you... she looks more piggie than cute right now...
Kat2... pregnant. Due April.
Hey girl! I just got in from a ride and thought I’d check the thread to see what was going on. The area rug idea sounds like a good one to me. I love the one you’ve picked out too. Polypro rugs are real durable and easy to clean too. If you spill something on them you can basically just take it outside and hose it off.
I love the floors Duchess! Your cabinets look great too. It’s all light and airy in there. Very nice!
Mia looks about like Harley did before I rode him...
Kat looks pretty big to not be due till April. What did she breed her too?
Becky
Just like a kid! He thought he was just on one big long vacation and shouldn't have to work. Guess he learned different! ;o)
Well good for you for riding:)
And that’s good to know about the rugs being easy to clean. With the grandkids easy cleaning will be nice.
Online, Lowes carries tons of different ones, took me a while to go thru all of them, but I found a few more I liked too...so now it will be deciding which, once I figure out what size I’ll need.
I’m glad everyone, so far, approves of what I’m thinking:) A rug like that is something I’ve always wanted, so it would be special that you all got it for me, especially because of the reason.
Becky
Dang! Kat2 looks like she could foal right now. Looks like she’s already sunk in around the croup, but it may just be the way she’s standing. She’s a nice looking horse though.
Once our youngest finishes school, we are definitely downsizing out of this big old barrack of a house. And whether we build or renovate, we'll be looking at floors (unless we find an old farmhouse with heart pine flooring. I will move heaven and earth to keep real heart pine.)
She bred her to some stallion that a friend of a friend had... it was sortof a convoluted story.
I think QH or Paint.
I hope she’s not going to foal before April... Tiff’s not ready. She needs the big stall Tell’s still locked up in.
Well, I’m getting ready to run down to Jenny’s. They are bringing home a new 6wk old choc. lab puppy tonight.
I’m not sure I approve of them getting a dog:), they have a lot on their plates already, 2 kids, both working...but they want a family dog. Jenny is planning on taking the dog with her to work during the day so it won’t be home all day by itself.
I have my camera already in my purse:)
Becky
Well, puppies are fun, whether they’re always smart or not!
I took Gidget to work with me when she was a pup... till she was old enough to be outside. It was January when I got her.
It will be interesting to see how a 6 wk old puppy and a 20 month old baby boy spend their time in a room together:) I’m not sure which one to worry about:)
Becky
Heh... I know... both, probably :~)
Show or field bloodlines?
Make sure they spend time 'bonding' in the crucial 7 week timeframe. That makes such a difference.
Hey - he can hit baseballs and the pup will bring them back :~)
You know, unless Kat2 is standing funny or has no hip, she looks like she’s due sooner than April. When was she bred?
Thanks. It’s really lightened up the house and makes it seem much larger.
LOL - my first thought when I saw the picture.
