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.
I like low humidity but that's too low. My nose would be bleeding all the time and I would scratch my skin raw.
I wish I had never posted anything about this:') You can still see the area and it's tender but it's closing up. If you steped on a nail you aren't going to have the same size opening the next day. Maybe she didn't need the second tetanus or treatment but my trainer felt I needed to keep it clean and apply ABT cream a few days since it was so close to her eye and the vet wanted her to have a booster so she got it.
And whatever caused it, it needs to be treated and kept clean, and the creme will keep it open I think to heal from the inside out.
You won't ever be sorry if you error on the side of cautiousness.
Sorry to make you feel bad for posting it, that wasn't my intent... it's just that we can't see anything in the picture to make an observation about.
I'm not sure how I would keep this open though. I cleaned it really good and probed around the area as deep as I could and then applied ointment .
I don't feel bad, just frustrated that I can't explain. No big deal though:")
I see Indians on paints on top of Mesas:'). My husband just rolls his eyes.
As long as it doesn't form a scab on the top it is fine, and it will heal right. It will probably heal rapidly also, if it bled, that would have helped in the cleaning too.
Well before I gave them up , I used to read a lot of western romances , or as my husband calls them, "smut books". Some times I walk by the books in Walmarts and still get wistful:')
Yall are talking about the actual eye? I thought yall were talking about white hair and I didn't see it on SL.
She really does have that look - Please don't kill me! She is sure pretty though, it's too bad she has so many issues.
I love that picture:')
No the amount of actual eyeball white that shows on Sara Lee is more than you'd see on a QH-Paint type, or most types... Usually you would see only dark, unless they are all stressed out.
Appys are unusual in the amount of white you see in their eyes, it's one of their identifying traits.
Boy is she limber :)
Will serve him right too:)
Becky
That's nothing... I haven't caught some of her more gymnastic maneuvers. She can scratch just about any part of her body. ;~D
Appaloosas have white sclera around their eyes, like human eyes. In appaloosas, it completely surrounds the eye and is an appaloosas characteristic unless it's on a bald face. I think sometimes horses with bald faces have white around the eye also.
