The FreeRepublic Saddle Club thread - Thread TWO!

Posted on 09/18/2004 6:56:23 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

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.

You did better than I did (in more ways than one:') The funny thing is, I like SL. She scares me now but I liked her when I first saw her and still do.

Well, we don't have more than that right now. Bay was $1000 the first time I saw him, and when my friend sold him a year later to the endurance racer he was $2000. The endurance racer sold him five years later for $4000, and when he came back to me he was $1000 again. And now, he doesn't have a price. Horse pricing is subjective, and depends more on who you are selling to than anything definitive about the horse.

Now we can save for horse trailer and truck.

It will come. I couldn't afford to go out and buy all at once either. We bought the truck used last year. I had 3 installment payments on SL. I ate dirt less than 24 hours after the last one. I paid her off a few days early. I should have waited. I might have saved 600 dollars:')

HaHa. I guess no red wagon or wheelbarrel:') My husband said he's going to build a box this weekend to keep in the trailer.

Funny. I went to Walmarts to look at them and was going to buy Joshua a big wheel for a really good report card. They were 33 dollars. He wanted a 3 dollar gum machine instead. Got his brother one too. Mom and Dad were not amused lol
