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!
Picture 681.. lol! Johnny wanted to know why Brett took you to what looks like a sewer plant.
No I've not seen the garden. I've only driven through Vegas a couple of times, never spent any time there. I keep hoping to one of these days.
It was Dad. Actually, I don't think he knew what was back there. Gardens just aren't his thing. He was amused with all my picture taking though. I'm going to fr mail you info for access to my pics at york. I have family ones. Our 81 year old aunt cusses like a sailor. So cute:')
Nice pictures from everyone, thanks!
Going away this weekend, talk to you all Monday.
Where are you located? I have excellent quality timothy hay for sale at 2.25 a bale,average 50 lbs per bale.
D/FW metroplex. Is timothy ok for foundered horses? I have 2 of them.
I'm up here in Central Ohio.That's a long way to come for hay.I think that timothy hay would be fine for foundered horses.My mare just went through a bout of laminitis-the vet recommended grass hay.Have you tried a drug called isoxoprine as part of your treatment?It improves blood flow to the hooves.Also did your vet do blood tests to see if the horses were insulin resistant?This is emerging as a major cause of founder in this area,I don't know about the southern states.If you would want some hay I have about 1000 bales available.
I think you're too far to haul hay to me too... I'm in Washington. But we do have a couple Ohio members :~D
Hi...We are pretty well set for hay. I will sure keep you in mind if I hear of anyone needed some. I am located in Northeast Ohio. About 50 miles South East of Cleveland.
How's the ferns this morning?
Becky
They're fine! They'd wave but they no longer have arms :~D
They soaked overnight in those buckets on the porch... Soon as I get off my butt I'm gonna get them packaged to ship. :~D
Well I'm really looking forward to having them, and hoping they survive.
I will be happy to pay/share the cost of shipping. Please don't feel obligated to not let me know what it costs. And don't worry, I could still make it in July too:)
Becky
Like I told Duchess too, it's a present. I just hope it works :~D
Big concern right now is Frog hasn't checked back in with her address!
Well, thank you soooooo much:). It is greatly appreciated.
HHHUUUMMMMMMMMMM, I hope she does. Would they survive if she doesn't come back before Mon.?
Becky
The ferns might, but the kittens won't ;~D
The kittens LOVE the packing boxes. If there's monsters who end up in your boxes, ship them back. ;~D
After taking that picture, they tipped the boxes over and spilled foam peanuts everywhere... - They're having a great time :~D
My honey trying to pick up peanuts while I just take pictures :~D
Cats and kittens seem to just love boxes and paper bags. They can have so much fun with them.
We might let you keep that black one. :~D
He is soooo cute.
He is suuuuuuuch a monster ;~D
((Our 81 year old aunt cusses like a sailor. So cute:')))
LOL! You know that Mom is gearing up waiting for you to take her now. She has been wanting to see that Aunt for awhile. Speaking of Aunts, next time you are in this area, we need to sneak off to see Rosia.
