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 MissTargets will now be pinging everyone most mornings. Let MissTargets 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 am getting ready to take a picture of myself right now.
... but I need to do some pushups first.
I use photobucket. It works really well!
Yummers.
Well, do your pushups, if you must. Post pics of your horses in the meantime.
You can say that again.
Welcome to the club! I will be doing the "pinging" in the morning, and will add you, if you like.
With young horses, I'd rather be bored than hurt by them, so that's great.
That picture is just fine! : )
I Like photobucket.com too.I just said no to all the offers and have heaps of photos on there. Never had to buy a thing either! : )
She looks very nice! How old is she now?
It sure is. Remember the problems with picking her feet up, when we first got her? It took a lot of time and patience, but now she stands very well for the farrier.
The picture with Bob and the mule is so cool.
I like using Photo bucket too, but at work, I could not see the pictures. The little box with the red X was all I could see. Now they must have put some kind of block on Snap fish too. Same thing, little box with the red X. I was impressed by Snap fish, because I downloaded pictures, picked what I wanted printed and got them in 2 days, for 12 cents a print. Sure beats running them somewhere, and standing there at the photo machine.
Nice...saddle. ;-)
Welcome linkinpunk.
I don't own a horse, but I hope to one day have one! In the meantime, I live vicariously through everyone here on the Saddle Club thread.
*wonders if you're from Chicago*
Well, she's absolutely beautiful, and I assume your daughter intends to show her? How is your Arab mare doing? Did you send both to the same trainer?
You know what's even cooler about Snapfish now? I just got an email the other day announcing that you now can upload pics, and order prints to be picked up in an hour at any Walgreens. And they were still cheap.
Speaking of walgreens, there's a pharmacy war going on down the street from me. Walgreens is building right across the street from CVS (A new england pharmacy chain) and right next to the walgreens, also across from the CVS is a small privately owned pharmacy. It's crazy.
I've never understood why they cluster like that... I'd think each would do better a few miles apart.... But what do I know.
FWIW... I always shop at the small, locally owned business when I have a choice.
Very nice mare:)
