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.
Great quote from the book. She is such a positive, optimistic writer. I'd like to read it.
Amen!!! God, bless President Reagan and his family -- Nancy, who has stood by him through all, and his children, who have forgiven his lapses and recognize his strengths. Dear God, bless them all, in this time. And, thank You, for a blessed leader, who made such a difference in a time when we desperately needed him. And God bless Mrs. Thatcher, too.

As a Texan, I can totally relate to your love of fencing. Me too. I love repairing fence - call me crazy, but it is satisfying.
And I love pulling the wire ~really tight~, it's the test of a very well-built corner! ;~D
Yup!
I just tuned in now to the pre-race stuff.... better go over to the race thread soon and find a seat!
I've got you beat, I'm 58 yrsa. old and decided that I was going to fulfill a lifelong dream. I broke 4 ribs about 2 months ago because I did what NO ONE is supposed to do, I bought a young horse. A 3 yr. old rocky. Should have bought an older horse

So, what is on your agenda for the week, wedding plans:). I imagine the excitment is really starting to build.
I am going to pick up the mare that I'm riding for the guy from the feed store today. It rained here Sat. so I didn't get her then.
When I get back from getting her, I will probably ride Rusty. Then will go help Mack paint on his new building.
Kind of disappointing about Smarty Jones. I felt bad for the guy that won. He was apologizing, but said he had to do his job. I think the jockey on Smarty Jones may have let him go a bit too soon, but then we can all second guess, but it really looked like he just gassed out.
Tomorrow is the funereal for CS son.

Today I finish washing all the bedding in the house and getting the guest room ready, Tomorrow we meet with the pastor one more time, at the beach house!
Been rainy here too, getting it all out of it's system. ;~D
Boy I hope CS is holding up. My heart goes out to her to have something like that happen that you can't ever prepare for.
Ouch. Welcome to the thread! So what are you doing now with the dream? - Are you going to be able to move on with this horse, or are you looking for an older one?
I'm sorry to have to ask, but when exactly is the date of your wedding. I don't know that I have ever seen it.
Becky
Saturday the 19th! Right at noon.
We'll have a webcam for friends to watch.... many from the hh are coming out here, but of course not everyone can, and we're gonna try to rig it so our friends can ~kinda~ watch. ;~D
Well you don't have long to wait then:)
I just got back from trying to ride Rusty, but it's raining and looks like it could get bad, so I came home after only about 15 minutes.
I have the mare, and took some pictures of her. Mack is useing the computer right now. As soon as he is done I'll post them.
She is a roan, but Rusty is prettier:), She doesn't have any black points, and she is as fat as the town dog right now. You can tell she will be a tank when she is in shape.

Becky
Just dawned on me I don't know what this horses name is:)
Becky
Yeah - I am the last to accuse others of being fat, or keeping fat horses.... but that is one tubby mare! ;~D
I'm sure she'll look better in no time in your keeping.
HA!
