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.
Good morning. May I please have some of your weather? Looking forward to pictures.
Interesting about Nevada mustangs. Is it a private party or a rescue center?
Hope you have a great day.
Hello! At work, bored out of my skull. :-)
It's hard to tell. Like I said, I'm gonna stop in on the next trip home and find out whats going on. They may be selling em. I've know a couple of people that had mustangs and they seemed to make real fine using horses.
You said that you hated winter, didn't you. Too bad that we can't swap places cuz I love winter. Big, snowy winters.
Generally I don't mind winter here. Very little snow in the valleys, sun most of the days. This year is very unreal - we've had record cold for days on end, record snow, again for days on end and freezing fog. Past six weeks have been miserable. Okay, I'm through whining for today. :)
He is sooooo precious.
South of Macon, between Warner Robins and Dublin. In the middle of knowhere to be exact! LOL
Wow cool! Pictures! Mom and babe look great!
took us long enough!
We hate waiting, but we will if we have to! Do you have any more? :~D My vet was just here, and I am going to post a few pics of that, but we love to see all the pics you've got!
Adge looks like he'll be bay like momma, his legs will probably get dark points like her at the knees... but it looks like he's go high white almost to the knee socks all the way around, does he?
he seems to be, we spoke to our trainer/farrier about that, and whether he thought it meant problems, being all white, but he said that as long as horses get the care when they need it then no. they are a little softer which means i guess more vigilance. Sugar and Lightning are all white too so we are used to it.
Cleanin' up....
It was really cold out today, maybe next time it'll be shorts weather :~D
I don't think it makes a lot of difference in foot quality white or dark... Most horses are shod anyway if they are used at all. 'chrome all the way around looks flashy in the show ring!
good photos..................kids are in shorts right now! LOL
~shivers~ It says 41 out, but it's a lot colder than that, still frozen in the shady spots, and it's just windy enough to keep you chilled outside.
Oh how sweet. I really like the one of the foal looking at your children. Nature took care of that foal, with the nice long hair coat, at this time of year.
They seem to have a really good way with animals and Adge will come up to them and they can touch him. Especially Emma. (Jacob wants to be a vet which we wont discourage one bit!)
