Thread III: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1311311/posts |

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. In the last thread we had a great time and were a great help to each other working through lessons and training, horse lamenesses and illnesses, questions and challenges and always just our stories we like to tell.
I always have 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 also have a ping list for horse threads that are of interest, and Becky pings everyone most mornings. Let Becky (Paynoattentionmanbehindthecurtain) and/or me know if you would like to be on the ping list. 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.
So... like the last thread, 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. There are lots of ways of doing things and we all have our quirks, tricks and specialties that are neat to learn about.
yellow planters with green and pink tulips:')
Just as long as you do not get hurt, that is the important part.
The blue plastic carport is bad enough....... : )
NIce work:)

~smiles~ hope to get it a little more finished tomorrow. ;~D
Good night everyone.... we're beat.
Yep:'( I'm not too worried when the trainer there but eventually I'll have to cut the cord. One day at a x though.
Night. Not sure what I'm looking at but I'm impressed.
Starting to grey - notice the eyes 
Her strange lavender stage 
As a three year old 
And last year, just turned five 
That's amazing :')
Cool! There is a pic for Cindy of what they look like when they start to grey! I was telling Cindy how funny they look during that phase but I couldn't find a picture!
She turned out just beautiful!
His tail changed color too, didn't it?
Thanks, we gave her to my daughter-in-law. She calls her the h*ll b*tch but loves her to death and wouldn't sell her for a million.
Yes, she changed completely, although not overnight.
Why does she call her that?
Bay looks a little undecided about the stall :)
I think he is wondering why all that crap is cluttering it up, and where the manger is ;~D
Well, couple of reasons. First of all, after a horse in Lonesome Dove. Mostly, because although she inherited the very best of her appaloosa dad and her arab mom, she also inherited the very worst.
She rides her endurance and she can go forever and very willingly. She also hates working in a round pen, hates having to walk anywhere, and makes her displeasure known.
My stallion was born nearly black and was a lighter and lighter dapple in his younger years... he was nearly white when I had him.
He does look a little unsure doesn't he?
I'm going to scan another picture for you - you'll see her Mr Hyde imitation.
Lol. Well, I've called mine a lot worse. I do it in the same tone though so I think she thinks Bxxxh an endearment:')
