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!
My two cats have moved to the guest rooms. They will deal with the min pins part of the time but they won't even consider dealing with Blue. He pretty much ignores them too but he definately has the size advantage. Both cats are bigger than any of the min pins.
The cat had nothing to do with Shelley for a long, long time -- then she gradually stopped leaping onto the furniture when Shelley came around -- then she started "speaking" with her (touching noses) -- then she started winding in and out of her front legs and under her belly -- now they lie down next to each other and snooze.
I hope so - I miss my cats being around.
Cat: "Oh! Yuck! Dog spit! < wash wash wash wash wash >"
Dog: "What'd I do? Is it something I said?"
Dogs drool. Cats rule.
Read the posts about the young woman. So sorry for her and her family, wherevere they are. Yes, sometimes Freepers get stupid and don't think.
Yes, I am keeping them up. I need to get a round bale in down in that lower pasture. I will keep them up to Tuesday.
Becky, you getting a lot of snow again?
Good morning. We are well, thanks, except when I woke up it was -3...ack!! These old bones don't like that.
:) That's global warming for you. I mean, it must be warm somewhere, Al Gore says it is.
:) Ruby (my Ruby, the cat) picks high ground around any dog. Jezzi - my other cat will nose to nose the min pins but I think in cat language the message is "what on earth are you anyway?"
Good morning. Hope you have a productive day today :)
You have a good day also!
No, we didn't get anymore snow just rain, and it stayed above freezing all night. The yard is still solidly covered with ice, but it's getting soft and slushy,and the roads are clear now. We are going to be in Hair's and your shape for awhile this next week, MUD, MUD, MUD.
I just got home from town, Mack stayed at the building, I'll have to go back later to get him. But I've got the house to myself, so can get some house work done. That will be my day.
Becky
Cyn found this development fascinating.
A little too fascinating, I had to run her off before she found a way to dent the truck.
Driving off, the horses wonder if maybe this isn't the worst hay we've ever presented them with. ;~)
So good morning everyone! If it doesn't rain too bad we may have more of that in store, plus I started working on cleaning up my rockeries.
Repairmen arrived this morning and the long awaited shower redo is finally going to happen. It was tore out years ago and we never bother to fix it. With the kids here now, I wanted to be able to keep my "stuff" separate.
Hair, horses crack me up how they have to be so noisy when you are out in their "space". I have the same thing happen when I do mowing or trimming.
Light snow here.
Ah - here's to a new shower :~)
LOL! They really do look like they're thinking "She expects us to EAT this crap?!"
I'll be surprised if the mares don't pull it apart. There's little grass and not much else to do out there but play with whatever toys make themselves available.
Bay is looking at you like "you expect me to eat THIS????"
Good morning and good luck with the redecorating. :)
