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!
Well, we made it back from town a while back... Managed to not get beat up :~)
Keeping my fingers crossed for you :)
It had been over a 100 years since it had snowed here on Christmas. I still have snow balls in the freezer.
So confusing. We had cable now we are back with ATT. (He's always changing). I read what you posted and yeah, I really only need it right now for checking mail, and down loading forms and of course FR and to check the weather. They told me to try it and if I wanted I could upgrade for no installation charge. Figured I couldn't go wrong there. That said, she told me that as my business grows I will want more speed.
Here's hoping.
Good morning. Well, today we are suppose to get above freezing.
Becky
Good morning :~)
Enough to thaw everything out? We're above freezing too, been raining a little, enough to reduce the snow to slush, it's gonna be a a mess here for awhile :~)
Glad for you. We are at 39 but looks kie we might get back in the 50's soon. Kind of funny because before this week 50 was cold:')
It was amazing, huh? Uh, what are you going to do with the snowballs? Sell 'em on Ebay? hehe
I really didn't believe it was snowing though. It was dark and it looked like sleet to me. Other freepers were telling me it was snow, but that just didn't seem possible. I couldn't believe what I saw the next morning.
It's good to hear the weather is letting up on you folks. Cold with sun here. At least it is starting to stay lighter longer.
I rubbed Bay's face the other day and got a handful of hair. During all this cold snap! The days are noticeably longer already.
At 7 a.m. here everything was coated in ice but it looks like it may melt later today.
To get hay to my horses this morning I bundled it up in a tarp and slid it down the steep driveway to the corral and then sat down and slid down myself.
But I see blue skies!
I hope there was someone there with a camera!
Smart thinking! That just goes to show you that there's more than one way to skin a cat. I just hope you don't hit any rocks. That could hurt!
Hey - any update on the fraud ad thing?
That definately shows determination. Would have loved to see a picture of you and the hay sliding down the driveway. Hope your ice melts today.
Nope, I haven't heard back from the cyberfraud unit. Maybe they don't consider it real important since I wasn't out any money. (I still bet a bunch of other people were taken to the cleaners though)
To all:
yes, I wish there had been somebody there with a camera, darn it.
Looks like the ice is going to melt, we are going to be up to 45 today, they say. It has been a really hard 3 days. Especially since I couldn't use my truck, since if I got it down the hill to carry hay/grain to the horses, I would never have got it back up.
I led them through the storm back up here to the corral in front of the house. That was a bear.
I used up all my film taking pictures of the storm and now when the sun is breaking through, making all the ice glitter so beautifully, I am out of film!
Will try to get into town later today, I have to, I am out of hay now.
She's someone they should keep an eye on for sure... but it's not that easy to track, all she has to do is come up with another name.
