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.
It is quite a way out there. She has to go through 3 kids and 2 in-laws before she even gets to the back door.
no foal, she heard me coming ( i fell over a cat) and got up. I checked and she looks different yet again, not quite such a line between her belly and the "tire" underneath. Hope this is a good sign. She also looked more bony at her tail. Only she knows what is happening and when! I still want the vet here though......
Don't you ever get a "night" off?:')
I should be able to understand it then! LOL
Eventually you will be able to feel where her feet are, it just takes time and riding. Sometime when you're comfortable with being bareback and your trainer is with you, put your toe up in SL's leg where it meets her body - not hard though. She should start limping. I used to do that years ago to get my cousin to turn around and start home. She'd ride through the night if she could and after several hours, I was ready to quit.
From the paying job, yes. I'm off on Friday and Saturday nights. The non-paying jobs, on the other hand, never stop!
I thought THIS was what you meant...
could get kinda interesting...you'd just need a whip and some spurs...
He does, he goes to work LOL! I sometimes wish i went out to work too! I just need to be ME once in a while. Hopefully if everything is ok, we get to go away this weekend for two nights up the mountains.
I am having the same problem you were having. Half the time I can't see the pictures but then they show up later.
Yes she is, but i like to go outside once in a while to check her better, however i dont want to disturb her, but i dont want to "not be there: if something goes wrong.
I have the binoculars almost permantly attached to me now!
LOL!! How much cursing in Gaelic didja do? My cats know a fair amount of redneck cuss words themselves.
As long as you can see her from the house, just let her be unless you see something wrong. This is good advice - my husband gives it to me everytime I have a mare ready to foal. I don't listen but it is good advice :)
100 years???? where did that come from? yards i meant.........
LOL!! Now that's a LONG way!! ;o)
I know its good advice but ...........: )
Well, I'm calling it a night. Hoping the best for you thru the night:) Get a good nights sleep. It really sounds to me everything is fine.
And besides, the vet is coming in the morning. You/we will probably all be embarassed for all the alarm.
But do let us know as soon as you can.
Becky
Im just glad we dont have cameras out the back! DJ would be showing the tape to everyone.
Oh and it felt like 100 years, cause i was trying so hard to be quiet!
knee is hurting : (
