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.

Its 6pm here and starting to get dark, so i checked on the horses as usual and said goodnight. She may think I"m gone for the evening and oblige! I can see her clearly from my balcony.
I am excited that its going to be soon, whether its tonight or not, but I am apprehensive too. I just dont want anything to go wrong, I have been reading and surfing and getting all the facts on foaling again, and getting all the horror stories too.
They are so much bigger than sheep! LOL

I bragged too soon. He was good with Sarah Lees but got a little horsey this time. See his rope? When the butt cover flapped against him when he moved he though something was chasing him. He settled down real fast though. We are down to 3 shoes again too:'(

I had to loosen the leg straps. The trainer said I had them to tight.

I was laughing. We were the only one's in the barn at the time but we had a heck of a time figuring how Sarah Lees went on. We finally figured out the front and buckled it. He put it over her head though instead of having them put their head in. Neither one seemed to mind.
