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!
I've had a rash like this a few times in the past, but I've never been sure if it was poison ivy or not. But this time of year just doesn't seem right, especially with as cool as it's been.
Becky
Do you have topical Benedryl? That might help.
You know what, I'm not even sure what poison ivy looks like.
My daughter gets poison ivy frequently. She said Preperation H is good for the itch:)
Becky
Supposed to be good for undereye bags, too.
Well, I've been piddling around here waiting to see if it's going to rain. It's still iffy, looking at the radar. I'm like Hair, I don't ride in the rain if at all possible. If it does rain, it's not going to be for long...so I should be able to ride sometime today.
Becky
We just got back from dentist and breakfast... ecurbh went on in for work, though after a big breakfast, I think he'd rather have had a nap ;~D
It's so warm here, that the Arab horse is laying in the shade, while the mustang is laying out flat in the sun. Gonna be 80 today. Cyn, once again was not on guard duty for the morning naps ;~D
The thing I hate about my western though is that when I go off , the horn gets me. I do hang on better though. That's why I went to one hand reining. It should have been, but 2 was less secure. When something would happen I would automatically drop my right rein and try to grab hold of the saddle and loose my balance trying to get the rein back.
Will do! This is my mare Dolly when she was running wild on 200 acres of pasture with 4 other mares! Was she ever happy. Dirty and happy.
Dang, I don't know why that picture was so small. And I jut had the computer guy here showing me how to post pics. Darn. Will try again.
I bet you copied the properties of the thumbnail view. Click that at your site and copy the properties of the full size one ;~D
At least you know your code is right!
I'm sorry Beaker for your lousy NE weather and even lousier NE co-worker. I come from NE and when I moved south I lost both. ;) (The bad weather and snotty people.) I've heard the weather is terrible up there, where do you keep your horses?
I think that's what happened. Okay I am going to try again. Bear with me.
Well, I'm finally getting to head out on a horse. It never did rain here. Very nice this afternoon, warm enough for a tank top, but a light breeze, and beautiful blue skies:)
Harley is saddled so see you all later.
Becky
nope still thumbnail. where do I go to enlarge it? Scansoft docs or where?
I'm not familiar with fotki... but if you are looking at your fotki album and click that pic, doesn't it take you to a larger one? Copy the properties of the larger one.
This one is all right.
Okay.
Got it! Thanks, Hair.
Since our lawnmower won't start still, I am doing the lawn the old fashioned way.
