FreeRepublic Saddle Club thread! - Thread 12

The FreeRepublic Saddle Club - (very out of date) Who's Who *pics*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

Oh I’m not worried about the mold in the least. A good cleaning and oiling will fix it right up. :-)

I’ll have about an hour or so to visit, I have to pick my kids up from school, but we could definitely do lunch! I don’t think they allow anyone who doesn’t have a ticket behind the gate area, though, so you’ll have to come out.

[Beaker]

Especially when you look at the pictures of those people who applied a similar concoction to their noses and it made their nose fall off

Noses fall off? What? Is that was happened to michael jackson, then?

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, that's not funny...

Thanks potlatch

30 frames at a 10 delay I believe

Well, a couple pictures... A drama that actually happened yesterday. I've been feeding several feral kitties at night after all our critters are inside, and this is one of them. She was still in the yard when we got up, and Barkley chased her up a tree. I wish she would come down, but she wouldn't, not for a shaking food bowl or anything. I finally just went in the house and she came down. I'd like to try to see that these kitties (they aren't even grown) get shots and spayed, but I can't catch them.

This rain is doing wonders for the new grass we planted where the old highlines were!

It has not, however, been good for my petunias. I pulled every the wet limp flower off them. It looks like a murder scene out there.... with a beagle in the middle of it.

[HairOfTheDog]

OK - as this gets closer, we’ll talk again, see if it will work out!

[Beaker]

With my job situation, I don't know if I'm going to be able to make it. Here's how it stands. If I find another place within the University, I think I'll be able to keep my vacation time, so I'll come up. If I switch places, I'll have no vacation time. If I don't have a job by then, why the heck not? So I guess it depends on how my next two interviews go.

Clear as mud? But I really want to go, and was solidly planning on it until everything exploded.

[FrogInABlender]

That’s a nice video there devlove! So is this a horse that you know, or just a nice clip that you wanted to share with us?

[potlatch]

It’s a nice gif, too bad they didn’t have all of the frames lightened up. 30 frames are a lot to fool with!

[FrogInABlender]

...I called the cops night before last because someone was setting stuff off...

Wuzzit th' Naybers? The same ones that set 'em off on the 4th?

[HairOfTheDog]

It was OneOfEm. Not sure which one, in the dark.

[tuffydoodle]

Sounds good.

[FrogInABlender]

That kitty up the tree looks like RoboKitteh.

TheNewGrass looks great! All ours is brown.

When I saw all that stuff in the background I figured Barklay had been shreading something so I’m glad to hear that he was innocent.

I might be able to try about a 110-120 brightness setting at I-M

It’s 357K

There is good buckskin .gif that is only 243K but it’s set at only 6 loops - I need to fix that one

Reducing colors hardly drops the filesize

It’s only 192x144 - I bumped it up to 240x180 to post it

[FrogInABlender]

Well Beaker, I sure hope the job situation works out, but I REALLY hope you can make it out to Becky’s in October. That would be FUN! So I’ll be hoping that you can have the best of both worlds.

[HairOfTheDog]

Here's a little gif my honey made for me of my horse running.. . It's seven frames I think, and came out pretty good! Haven't quite figured out what to do with it!

[FrogInABlender]

Cool! You could make that your avatar over on the Horse.com forum.

[HairOfTheDog]

I thought about it, but I usually complain about animated avatars, they’re really distracting :~D

[potlatch]

It’s 357K
I know that is a huge file size to you but most of my animations are around that size.

On a Google search yesterday I came across a picture that was on a 2006 Free Republic thread of an Amominal Snowman or Yetti.

It started at the left side and each frame of it walking overlapped the previous one till it reached the right side of the page!! Never saw that before and I saved it.

Then I looked at it in my pictures files and saw that it was almost 3MEG!!! I deleted it, lol.

[FrogInABlender]

Yeah, you’re right. And I hate those big ol’ signature pictures that a whole buncha people over there use. It just eats up the download speed for nothing.
