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.
Thanks Cindy.... I don't think I saw descriptions of the second times with her. Good luck with the new trainer. I hope you can work both of ya through this.
Great pics of your horses!
Thanks. Maybe I put too much water last time. I used warm water, and it was pretty thick but did have a little standing in it.

It will work out. If this isn't a satisfactory option I'm going to send her to Houston for training. My brother in law sending his two y/o to a clinic and I may just send her too. Makes it hard for weekend travel but it's not forever.:')
I mix it with hot water to oatmeal consistancy and usually add some molasses.
Yeah we were there when Alan Jackson was at concert. I don't think Siegfield and Roy cats showing. This was something different. I also like to go to King Author's Round Table:')
I post when I can-----been trying to get my time in on poor ole Fuzzy (my 10 y/o T-bred)
Wow, beautiful pics!
Those fall colors remind me of my years in Minnesota. I would like to experience a New England fall someday, though. The lack of fall color is one thing I miss here in the great NW... we have mostly evergreens, and the few leaves we do have just turn a sickly brown.
What part of MA are you in? My dad's family is from there, and my grandmother still lives in Westboro.
So pretty. Which college is this?
Oh man. I've got jury duty again. I want to do my duty but it's only been 2 years. We have been here about 14 years and Eddie never gets called. I wonder if I could send him in my place:')
YEA!!!!!!!!! The arena open:')
I just had jury duty this july. They called me within months of me registering to vote, and I managed to defer it for a year. Luckily I didn't have to serve.
I'm in the southern part. The trees really are gorgeous in the more western areas of the state.
Nice pictures. Thankfully, we have had some sunshine the past few days. The trees look so pretty then. A lot have come down, and its time to do some mowing.
I don't know what kind of horses they were, but that seemed strange that they would jump out. Unless something had been chasing them. How sad for the family.
Oh my, how very sad for everyone involved. Praying for family and friends.
Yeah but I have never been called and not selected:'(
