Free Republic has a lot of horse people that have found each other on other threads . And since we all like to talk horses, how about a thread where it is not off-topic, but is THE topic?
A few of us thought it would be interesting and informative to have a chat thread where we can 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. We may not ~always~ have a lot of activity, but when we do, it will be fun. I will put a link to this thread on my profile page, so if you have something to say and can't find the thread in latest posts look for it there and wake the thread up!
I will also develop a ping list for horse threads that are of interest. As FreeRepublic is a political site, our politics and other issues will probably blend in . There are many issues for horsemen that touch politics land use, animal rights/abuse cases that make the news . Legislation that might affect horse owners.
I am hoping this thread will be a fun place to come and share stories, pictures, questions and chit-chat, unguided and unmoderated and that we come together here as friends. There are lots of ways of doing things and we all have our quirks, tricks and specialties that are neat to learn about.
I am curious about them too, I have not used any of those kind of boot. Those are sure neat-lookin'!
I have heard of them, as a matter of fact I was checking them out for breeding season and live cover since my stallion has front shoes on. But they are expensive. Everything seems to be going fine without them so I didn't order. Came close tho...lol. That's all I know.
Have you actually seen one, or just pictures?
Becky
Oh, mine are suppose to be here Thrus or Fri. will take pictures.
Becky
Have you actually seen one, or just pictures?
Just pics
you around?
Yeah - I'm around! How's it goin'?
Hey,,, what about that Jack Bauer:).
Becky
Can't stay. Just so excited. I had to tell someone. I just went on my first trail ride off the ranch with another border this evening. We rode for over two hours. All that hard work finally starting to pay off. I had such a good time. Okie seemed to like it too:')
hey are those boots different the the first ones you were going to order. i only got three eggs today dumb hens can't figure out when they want to lay.
congratulations, it always nice to hear that you are enjoying your horse after you have had some rough times with him, keep up the good work and have fun that is all that matters.
thanks. I just keep going around saying "yes, yes, yes!" with a big grin on my face.
Great! - What kind of trails do you have? - Were you able to ride off the ranch or did you trailer somewhere?
Do you have nice people there to ride with? Before ecurbh I had a little trouble finding people I am compatible enough to want to ride with... Have one friend that wants to run down trail and gallop all the time. I am not opposed to a little fast work but she just likes speed and I just like quiet peace. I was thinking of joining one of the clubs. Might still do that just because you get to find out about trails I wouldn't find on my own.
are you still watching 24?
No, we just rode off the ranch. We took the road awhile then trails by the canal. High grass, trees, shrub lots of low and high places and open areas too. The sun setting coming back. It was beautiful. I'll try to get some pictures next time. I have to go now. I just wanted to share :')
So you took pictures? - Definately post 'em!
See you later! ~stomps foots at waiting for pictures~
I love 24 (looking foward to the finale-still have an hour to wait). It's more like a movie then a tv show. Lots of action and intrigue, everyone in the cast is a good actor/actress.(Although, it did veer a bit left the first season.) I heard it's been renewed, but will be on a different night- (Thurs? Not sure)
I also read somewhere that the guy who plays Jack -Keefer Sutherland loves horses too. He spent a couple of years riding in rodeo's , and has a ranch/horses somewhere here in Cali.
Man I did not realize you were behind us. I'm glad I didn't give anything away. It was great.
Becky
I heard on another thread that it will be on on Monday nights next year, starting in Jan. and some episodes will run 2 hours.
Becky
I'm here. Waiting on Jenny to call to tell me she made it home OK. Her and Blake went to a playday in Skiatook. Travis is working.
Her father in law got bucked off a horse tonight. Knocked him out. They called an ambulance but he checked out OK. Bucked her sister in law off too. Jenny rode the horse yesterday, it's like 16:2. Jerry, the FIL, was just trying the horse out. I think it's going home tomorrow:)
