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.
Heh...It was just a bit of fun ;~D
Sounds like a great day! Did you take any pictures?
Sounds like fun. I'm taking off tomorrow, mainly to help Mack get the books done for the year. But I'm definitly going to try and sneak off for an hour or so to ride. Suppose to be in the upper 60's.
Becky
Yes - pictures.
We've got snow here, and snow in the forecast for the next week :(
EEEWWWWWWWWWWWW:(.
Suppose to be in the 50-60's for the next week. Chance of rain tho a few days.
Becky
Been a fun night ladies, but I'm out of here for the night.
See you all in the morning.

The storms from California are coming over the hill, one after another. I talked to my sister in CA tonight, she's getting ready to build an ark.
The satelitte picture looked very much like a hurricane sitting off the California coast. The swirl and the eye type thing.
'sposed to rain here and stay 40 degrees around the clock, like it has been. We still haven't had more than one night of frost. Not sure what's up this winter.
But I couldn't ride much anyhow, my saddle is still in the shop :~\
Night
What's wrong with your saddle? Is this the one you're having rings put on?
Yep... Nothing wrong, having tie rings put on it...
Well, you could try the western saddle - get Bay used to it so you could try ponying the pony. 'Course 40 degrees is cold to me, I venture out above 60 only.
Heh... I could ;~D If it feels sunny out one day, we'll have to try that.
This has been a very strange winter here, more snow than usual so far, very unusual fog. Three weeks of it on and off and I've not ever seen it out here in the ten years I've been here.
Sorry . . . no pictures! I ought to stick a camera in my pocket whenever we go out, but I'm usually busy with my horse and I have two kids and THEIR horses to worry about too . . . my daughter was riding Ember, a green 5 year old that belongs to our trainer. She's a beautiful bay T'bred about 16.2 -- still a little spooky and VERY strong - but my girl held her together beautifully, even when the deer spooked everyone. My son was riding Hershey, the little App that he has really outgrown, no need to worry about him, Hershey knows better than to give him one nanosecond of grief.
Well, if this keeps up we will not be able to keep giving you a pass :~D
How old are your children?
It's a lovely picture, and of course it will do. Until you get some new ones :~D
