The FreeRepublic Saddle Club thread - Thread THREE!

Posted on 12/30/2004 7:01:16 PM PST 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?

This is a horse chat thread where we 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 previous threads we have had a great time talking through lessons, training, horse lamenesses, illnesses and pregnancies... and always sharing pictures and stories.

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 previous threads, 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.

My personal favorite was a father that tried to tell us that it was ok for his kid to wear a bicycle helmet while riding a horse.
I personally don't feel comfortable riding without a helmet... and I would always make my kids wear them until they were old enough to make thier own decisions, but we all could argue about this topic till the cows come home. :-p

LOL! Well, at least you don't hafta hear it in person. Southern english is a little different to say the least, but I'm sure you get your share of it living in South Carolina. I LOVE the accents in that part of the country. Most everybody around here just sound like rednecks. Someone on the thread here a while back was talking about hating the way Tom Hanks did accents in some of his movies and I can relate. I've NEVER heard an authentic sounding Southern accent in a movie. It just chaps my butt. They even took an authentic one (Lucas Black, who is from just down the road and sounds as country as they come) and made him do a fake one in the movie he was in about Helen Keller. Now THAT just took the cake.

Why isn't it? seems like bike and riding helmets should be designed for about the same speed and type of fall.

LOL - When I first moved out here a lady came into the library and I asked her where in Alabama she came from. Shocked the daylights out of her, but I used to be able to recognize Alabama from all the other southern states.

Do you know what really drove me crazy? The actors trying to duplicate Boston accents in Jaws. Oh and Good Will Hunting was another bad one.

Just looking so far. I am sure there must be a way to get a team of draft horses and a full size wagon inside a bus.

What do you think?

I'd like to see them, really. One think I am thankful for here is that even though this is unusual, most people here know how to drive in it, we don't have humidity so the cold doesn't get in your bones and all of the road and street departments work real hard to keep up with it.

It might be long enough, but would it be wide enough after it's been gutted?

LOL! Ooops... sorry, that was me ;~D

Really, I am curious to know if it was a bad idea for safety, or just bad fashion sense ;~D
