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!
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1769102/posts Ignore some of the posts though. Sometimes I wonder about some of the freepers.
Sarah is looking at the Hair clan and going "ahhhhhh a father horse, a mother horse and a baby horse"
Heh - looks like everyone is a little spunky today!
Pretty pictures too, of your snow squarebarb!
It's an absolutely fabulous video. We have seen it before but it's still good.
Growing up monster! :~)
They do look like that :~)
You might want to keep them up there a few more days. Some think we are going to get real cold again around Tuesday before this is over. All the horses at my stables are still in. The pastures are deep in mud.
That rescue fascinated me. I watched it several times and each time my "heart smiled"
Great pictures of the horses. Looks sunny at least.
Well, hey - it's the thought that counts right? How is everything with you?
We got our shopping done. It took a lot longer than I wanted it to. We went to the mall, CiCi's pizza, Home Depot and Lowe's. No sooner then, we got home, started working and the power went out! Almost 3 hours wasted. It would have been nice to have that wall done, so there would have been a wood fire. Oh well, work harder tomorrow. I did buy a new vanity, medicine cabinet and cupboard for the wall. I should have bought that generator, I was looking at. :)
Thanks. She works and is buying her home so she doesn't qualify for a lot of programs. One the flip side, she doesn't make a lot of money, her insurance doesn't cover a lot of her medications and she also has horses - which get fed before she buys meds. Thankfully, her parents help her and live close enough - about an hour away - that they can be there for her.
You know, I know it's morbid, but my mom was soooo disappointed when she was told she had terminal cancer and no one would want her organs. She said "wouldn't I even be of use for some study or something? Can't I be a skeleton in a science class somewhere?" I guess all the science classes that want one already have one. She was really bummed. She was like that. :~)
How is the remodeling going?
Well, if I'd have read further, you answered my question. I hope tomorrow is a more productive day for you.
Talk to me about this. I'm not sure how it works. I know you have to raise the money for the surgery. I see fund raisers a lot. I thought the least stable got bumped up. They are now programs they have to be accepted by first? The poor are getting priority?
A link to make you smile.

Apparently, if she were rich or destitute she would have had a better chance. She's neither. She is selling her car and some other things to bank the money to prove that she can pay for the rejection drugs, etc. She still has her truck and will keep that. She has to have a complete physical now and exrays, etc. to show that she is still an good candidate.
God has seen her through a lot in the past nine years. I'm just praying that this time, she will be restored to health.
I smiled. Actually I grinned.
Kinda thought you might. That was my reaction.
What a special woman:')
