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!
Read your regular email. No porn involved, I promise. Why are you trying to get on those sites anyway????
No no no Bjorn isn't a tennis player, it's that crazy woman that wore the swan dress to the awards program.
LOL probably. But her name isn't Byorn, it's Byork.
Thanks for the detailed reply - it was FReeper 'estrogen' who had the fall on the hill... estrogen, see Rhiannon's reply above at 38.
Well, we have 'chance of thunderstorms' predicted, but so far I've had sun to mow in.
Getting some great exercise, I am. I swear I would never walk that much just to walk. But I'll follow a mower anywhere.
I need this excercise, I'd like to lose weight for Bay's sake, if not my own... heck, even for the sake of my husband ;~D And though I've always been sortof 'hobbity', I have always been strong and able to work hard. Lately I've gotten muscle cramps with very little work, my back hurts shoveling stalls... and ~gasp~ my ankles are swelling like an old woman! Dang! So I need this mowing, and any other work around the place I can find.... something more active than just posting on FReeRepublic, which as not been good for my figure.
Quick post, I've got JP.
You're welcome anytime you can make it.
Kristy had to go visit her grandfather in the hospital, but she brought her horse along with JP:). I think she's going to run in the arena. I may have some interesting pictures later.
Becky
Good!
Sorry - I would, but I don't know how to get to I-35 ;~D
To give you an idea of how much rain we have had, the kids have just got back in from splashing in the moat that is surrounding this house! Jacob wants a boat next time! LOL
I used to walk at least 4 miles every day.
Here I have got more lazy and even have a golf cart to get me around here feeding the horses! I do exercise though and have recently bought one of those new AB loungers. Which I reccomend btw. : )
Good for you though, mowing 4 acres with a push mower! I mowed an acre down at the lake house once and the heat and fear of snakes nearly drove me to drink! Hic! : D
Well, I'd say it's probably about half done. I'm quitting for today though... I'm going to give Bay a trim and get him looking like a loved groomed horse instead of an old pasture nag ;~D
He's got trail rides to do this weekend!
Kristy had a change of plan. She is trailing today, I did get some pictures of her leaving.
Tomorrow in the morning, the lady I rode with is coming to get me and we are going somewhere to ride, then tomorrow evening, Kristy is going to come get me and we are going to the arena in town to work barrels. I'll get lots of pictures tomorrow.
I'll have a few later of Kris and Rowdy.
Becky
One big difference is the rain is warm here! (and I loathe Benny Hill)
Looking forward to it Becky! : )
the swivels are cool but the bit warmer made me chuckle. http://www.equips.com/cgi-shl/loadpage.pl?user_id=id&file=newitems.htm
