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!
Tuffy, that was amazing. That horse was flying:')
I wish I had the guts to jump. What a beautiful, graceful sport.
Yeah but the black horse that just finished didn't seem that graceful too me. He looked like he was doing his job and the rider was behind in a few seconds. The white one was magical though. The horse seemed to "need" to jump and they were, I don't know... more a team IMO
You're right. The rider on the white horse was Margie Engle, she's awesome. And she's a tiny woman, makes the horse look even bigger.
That one was pretty too.
Well that crappy. It's really just about the rider isn't it? How can they win as a team when they switch horses?
What? They have groomers? :')
Actually it wasn't raining...but it is lightening. My neighbor just stopped by, she said we could have tornados tonight...I hadn't heard that at all.

I heard that about you [tornados]... No rain? Jeepers... how can you have lightning with no rain?
Happens all the time.
I looked at the forecast we should get rain tomorrow.

Johnny just wanted to go early to the races. I have school on the 5th, so he will probably go up early without me anyway. 4 days at the track is a little much for me. I'd rather visit with you and find him on Saturday.
Poor Tank, guess we'll have to change his name to Bruiser.
He cried this morning when he didn't get to go to school:'(
I've been hearing and reading about the bill to track all of our critters (and getting emails from just about every horse person I know) for about a year now. I don't quite know how I'm going to handle it because I have no intention of participating. Our horses are moving constantly, to shows, endurance rides and just trail rides. I can not conceive having to get permission every time I turn around. And am I not supposed to go if I can't get an okay? And my horses - and my goats - are not meat animals, I see no reason to track them.
I know how that felt. Sarah Lee was balking and jumping back on me the other day.
Sigh - Sturday = Saturday.
I think he'll be fine in water too. :~D
That would be fun. Mom already making plans:')
