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.
This happened about one hundred miles away.
A lot of damage and a narrow path where it happened.
Yes it is scary and can be very deady. Especially to horses and cattle in the path of one.
Don't know what happened in the last post. Here is another try.
Yes, they are scary and especially deadly to horses and cattle in the path of one.
Becky..... you have real snow headed your way? Wow!
Merry Christmas!!!
You got the cat in! This is so cool. Were the horses really positioned like that or did you shop them in? I'm with AAM though. You guys getting too good at this:')
The horses are real and we are real, we cheated the dog and the cat ;~D
The horses are so....close:')
Awesome - that is great! Maybe you can squeeze Santa and Rudolph in there up in the corner.
The pony was pretty comfortable there... Bay was messin' with her, but she's not afraid of him ;~D
A blonde Democrat Poll Worker in Florida decides to try horseback riding on her way to work even though she has had no lessons or prior experience. She mounts the horse unassisted and the horse immediately springs into action. It gallops at a rhythmic pace, but the blonde Democrat Poll Worker begins to slip from the saddle. Terrified, she frantically grabs for the horse's mane, but is unable to get a firm grip. She tries to throw her arms around the horse's neck, but she slides down the side of the horse anyway. The horse continues to gallop along, seemingly ignorant of its slipping rider. Finally, unable to get a firm grip on the horses neck or mane, the blonde Democrat Poll worker attempts to leap from the horse and throw herself to safety. Unfortunately, her foot becomes entangled in the stirrup. She is now at the mercy of the horse's pounding hooves as her head is struck against the ground over and over and over again. As her head is battered against the ground, she is mere moments away from unconsciousness and sure death when to her great fortune...out of nowhere, charges Bobby, the Wal-Mart greeter who sees her dilema and unplugs the horse. The blonde Democrat Poll worker picks herself up off the floor, fails to thank Bobby, files an incident report at Wal-Mart, and goes off to assist Democrat voters at the poll.
I like your card:)
Yeah, snow in the forecast for tonight. Rain changing to snow. It won't stick. Ground temps still to high.
Becky
That is really a nice looking pony. I guess I never really looked at her so close. She is built really nice.
Becky
She looks more like a small horse than a pony, doesn't she?
Thanks, she is a really pretty pony... I sure wish I knew someone that could ride her.... she'd make a nice little show pony for a pony clubber.
I could go on a big crash diet ;~D
Becky
Beautiful - Looks like winter :)
