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.

If you haven't been to the Stockyards since BillyBob's was put in, you're in for a treat. They've cleaned it up considerably and there are more restaurants.

BillyBob's is more hype than anything. It's a humongous place with gift shops, a tiny arena for bull riding that always looked too small to be safe to me, a stage and seating for concerts, and several bars. Oh, and a dance floor in front of the stage. It's been many years since I've been in there so some things might have changed but you get the gist.

Just to make you feel better about your weather, here is a thread that is talking about some of the weather problems we are having here in the south.

If you were closer, I'd throw a snowball at you.

No snow here yet, but a local friend reports snow at her place, and it's coming.

Bracing for our first snow of the season, really. We haven't been hit yet. A little bit yesterday that didn't stick.

Cindy.... looking back at your pic of the hallway decorations... the horses and the donkey/mule and the cow are all great. I hope I don't offend if I ask... What is the little brown animal at the lower left? It looks like a wombat ;~D
