*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!
Yes, the last mile toward home is the other time for spontaneous fancy footwork ;~D
If Bay does his piaffe and passage spontaneously, I cue and reward it, and hope that in doing that I can use the same language to get a more animated, very collected trot out of him later... but the attitude has to come from the horse ;~D
We don't know that yet. They usually let us know shortly before it takes place. But, I can keep ya posted.
WEll that would be cool if you could get him to do that on command:)

Dogs that are mixed breeds seem to stay healthier to me. Have you noticed that? In horses too?
Which one of yall had the neighbor with the corn field?http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1332970/posts
Me and Mattaniah Rei
Auralee(twin A) and Kelaiah.
This is hubby, Mark, Twinnie on board Sherebiah
Oldest daughter Markie and Mr. BoJangles
Finally, this is Jake THE donkey. LOL!
Thanks for the patience!
He's so pretty to look at. He's showing:') (for us)
Those are great! Thanks for findin' them for us! Hubby will get them up on the who's who!
Thank you.... I think he's marvelous too, but I know I'm biased. I always enjoy watching him, and I am thankful when he can still pick it up and go like that at his age.
Any details, ages, breeds you want to specify? I could guess... but I might be wrong...
My guesses...
Mattaniah Rei - Paint or Appy.
Kelaiah looks like a Rocky Mtn Horse. but I may just be going by color. ;~D
Sherebiah and Mr. BoJangles look Arab in type... and one of them looks very pregnant!
Rei is appy (5y.o.)......
Keely is R.M.H (5 y.o.).......
Sherebiah (aka, BabyGirl) is quarter pony (She'll be 3 in April). (Momma was a Shetland, Daddy was a 17 hh stud muffin)(we THINK her pudgy belly is that Shetland part showing. HECK, we had her on a diet this summer trying to slim her down. LOL).........
Mr. Bo is an Arab-cross (7y.o.)
I wasn't that good, I hedged my bet on Rei, and I missed the pony completely!
Let's go for our walk now, it's sunny out.
Keep me posted. A rebuttal shouldn't be all that hard, given some of the loopy stuff folks put out there with regard to rodeos. Most of my favorites are not family-oriented in nature, though. You wouldn't believe the kind of stuff people apparently "know" about rodeo.
OK OK I am excited? nervous? scared wittless? If I thought Sugars' bag was big b4, it looks like she could supply us with milk for a year now! Her teats are completly down and very heavy and she has a "solid drip" on the end? She is so soft and wobbly in here rear too! Very very different from this morning! GULP : }
Maybe real soon then:') How's you weather?
Yes! Nervous and Excited!
The solid drip is "waxing". The moment draws near...
