*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.

New folk and occasional posters, jump right in and introduce yourselves, tell us about your horses, and post pictures if you've got them!
It's so cool to watch them. Belle was laying on her chest, head up. And Dot was behind her. She kept turning and looking back there. I went in real quiet. I was told to make sure the bag was clear of the foals nose. While I was moving it around, that is when Belle made that sound, like a tractor starting. I think that was the first time she really KNEW there was a baby back there. It was cool. But they stayed that way, I'm sure for 30 minutes or so. It took Dot awhile to nurse. I was really starting to get concerned. Jenny and I finally steadied her a bit to help. Belle did great for a first time momma.
About taking pictures, I was thinking of that. I think about a month before I'll start taking some of Belle at night so she gets use to the flash. We have lights out there, but I think it will still flash. If it really seems to bother her then I won't do it then. But something I might work on ahead of time.
Becky
That was my thought as I watched it - I'm so glad Bob managed to catch her, I'd have be swearing at him and the mare if he hadn't.
They'll be wobbly for awhile. Up and moving very early, you are going to have your hands full :)
I thought so too! But the sac slid out fast but in slow motion! LOL I'm not making any sense and didnt have chance for coffee! LOL
Hah! DJ missed it! Panicky wife! LOL wont be till tommorow! LOL
Emma loved updating you! She was so good and she has gone to sleep with a big smile! She adored the foal.
Well ya'll, it's been an exciting evening, but I'm going to bed. I'm glad everything came out ok! G'nite!
If there is some light, we might try seeing if you can turn the flash off without ending up with too-slow shutter speed. we can lighten pictures if they aren't too bad
Been a great night:), I'm still grining too. But I am babysitting JP tomorrow. I have to be there at 8, so I need to go to bed.
Becky
That is a great idea, that way you may be able to get her accustomed to it.
Goodnight, i should have pics on here as soon as cvs opens! LOL
Well we'll do something when the time comes.
Becky
Night ladies.
connection wouldnt work whatever i tried. It got damaged when my camera got dropped. I should have got that card reader!
Look for pics in a.m.
Goodnight!
I am heading back out.
Sharn
Oh - I thought you had the card reader thingy!
When I was taking that picture of Sarah Lees eye I didn't think it would flash much in the barn but it did. She kind of trembled and I felt bad. I didn't mean to but I flashed it right in her eye.
no i just had time to rush to cvs last time to post pics of sugar.
DJ here, brb
Good night.... we'll call you in the morning bright and early to get up and go to town with the camera then ;~D
You guys done good tonight reporting back. Glad all seems so well for mare and babe!
If I point the camera at mine close up.... they squint. ;~D
Well she probably will the next time (grin)
I'll be around for awhile - congratulations to you both :) this was harder than waiting for my own.
This thread will hit 5000 faster than the last one :)
