The FreeRepublic Saddle Club thread! - Thread FOUR
See our who's who page! ^

*New* The FreeRepublic Saddle Club - Who's Who *pics*

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.

Wow! Great pictures! I'd love to see one actually born. I've always just found them a few hours old. But I guess it's easier on the nerves that way.

Well, they seem to have had the luck of two day-time births... Most don't get a chance like that for good pics... just grainy ones taken in the dark. Did you see the high res version of the first mare, with the cat trotting across the paddock? ;~D

I'll be happy with a rolling pin. That's one weapon she's not proficient with. : ' } (That comment, by the way, will get me into more trouble than I'm already in.)

How funny! I didn't notice the man in the background either. I guess I was just so focused on the horse I didn't pay any attention to anything else.

OK - as soon as it's born... I guess you can't be flashing bulbs at her now...

But a live cam would be good for the next one... maybe duchess can do that for us ;~D

Boy, that mare was walking around with the poor little bugger hanging half way out then sits down, but it doesn't look like it hurt him any. I had a hard time trying to figure out if that was the placenta he was laying on or a white towel. Could you see it any better?
