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.
The groom and my youngest
The gap at the far right is the window. The 7 1/2 mile trail
My 2 new grandsons :')
I had not seen this before. They made a circle around them as they danced and walked around and occasionally all went to the center. The lady in green is my 88 y/o aunt who insisted on making the trip and hiking down and joining in here too:')
Eddie (my husband) and I
The famous cake :')
The Beginning
Cool pictures from the wedding!
Hi all, not really caught up, just glanced at the pictures and will have to remember to tell flying stories sometime!
Got some good pics of the horses at the fair I think Too tired to post tonight though.
See ya in the morning!
Man! What a GORGEOUS place to have a wedding! Thanks for posting the pics! I think it's great that your 88 yr old aunt hiked in. I hope I'm still spry enough at that age to be able to do that. :o)
Good morning
Cindy, good pictures. Looks like it was really nice,
Frog, Beaker: thanks for the infor on roans.
I'm riding Trash and Rusty today.
Today is my 30 year anniversery:), so I won't be going barrel racing tonight:)
Becky
Barrel racing? You sound like an AQHA member. Best all round breed on the planet.
How long does barrel racing season last where you're at?
Congrats on your 30 years! May you, have many more. Do you have plans?
Beautiful pictures...thanks for sharing. Living in the flat lands, like I do, makes one appreciate the mountains.
Have some pictures of the draft horses loaded from the fair! They're my favorite, so nagnificent.
Happy Anniversary
Yeah. It's hard to find flatter areas than around here. I'm sure there are bigger mountains elsewhere but I loved it though. My husband and I are going back when we have more time and less obligations. I got a rain check good for up to a year on the horse riding.
