I have a friend that lives in Yuma and she reports triple teen digits all the time. Having lived in Southern California the first 30 years of my life and 17 years in the south I think I prefer the dryer heat instead of the humidity. Yeah, for those that did the math, I am 47.
Thank you for your welcome. I promise I will be here sporadically. LOL!
Welcome to Alabama! I understand that Decatur has a large Tennessee Walking Horse Show every year. I'm sure people there could help you with info.
Yes, there is nice riding here. I'm also thinking that many of our state parks have good riding trails.
I don't know any more about it. I suggested to her that she track down those profs in the month we have left in Auburn. It couldn't hurt.
And yes, it is as far away as you can get; if we went any farther we'd be coming home again. But we think the work we do is very important and offsets the inconvenience of being away from the state.
Actually it is the Racking Horse Celebration that is in Decatur (Priceville) It is in September I believe, is that right Frog? The Tennessee Walking Horse Celebration is in Shelbyville, TN, not to far north into TN. Both are great to attend.

That's a heartbreaker!! I didn't know it was as dry in Alabama as it is here. Most counties have a burn ban right now and my kids are so disappointed. They go to my inlaws farm in Abilene every 4th of July to shoot off fireworks. It's against the law to even sell them there now.
I'm not far enough out of town for fireworks to be legal where I live.
I remember one particularly brutal year in Arizona where the news media were showing frying eggs on the sidewalk.
Nice day.
Hi everyone.Gald to be here.
Weeell, they WOULD be good riding trails, but you can't ride horses in Alabama State Parks, that I know of, and you can only ride horses on designated horse trails in the National Forests (like Bankhead and Talladega NF). We aren't exactly the most horse-friendly state I've ever heard of. :o(
There's quite a few privately owned horse camps around here though.
Hello to you too and glad to have you here. Is this your first visit to this thread or have you been here before?
First visit. I am looking forward to reading and posting over time.
"Friends don't let friends ride trottin' horses" Saw it on a tee shirt so it must be true!
Well, it sounds like it's about time you tried it then. You don't know what you're missing. What kinda horse are you looking for, age and skills-wise and all that?
Well good, we always like new voices. We like pictures too and none of us are too bashful about posting them, especially of our horses. Do you have horses or just like them?
Registered Quarter Horse, preferably with Poco Bueno and/or Two Eyed Jack bloodlines, 4 to 8 years old, 14.2 to 15 hands, well muscled, good solid hoofs, blue roan or buckskin would be nice, bomb proof and ready to ride.
Oh and welcome. This is a cool place to hang out.
Welcome. Are you in Texas? Where at?
