The FreeRepublic Saddle Club thread! - Thread 11

Posted on 01/02/2007 9:57:39 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

The FreeRepublic Saddle Club - (very out of date) Who's Who *pics*

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.

So, with proper loading did he say this should correct itself? or do we just keep it from getting worse?

It will correct itself over time.

Check out how the thread with the teenaged girls has evolved. Their mothers must be so proud.

Look what I found on Lance Graves website:

"19 FINALISTS from the GRAVES RANCH at the BBR World Finals in OKC! Congrats to Jason Martin riding Juma Gem wins the BBR 2D World Championship."

Sounds like Juma is still doing well.

Sheesh... Just when you think it's over another teenager comes along and makes @$$ of herself. And I think that poster had been pretty mature and reasonable elsewhere in the forum... I guess immaturity is always just under the surface at that age. ;~)

Congrats on Juma :~)

He is pretty thin, but the pups are in good shape. Very nice dogs. The local super market has a community ad space that I will post a flyer on. Our local online paper does not have the "Lost and Found", so we will have to go buy one. They are purebred Goldens with no collars. :(

I can see what the "jammed heels" are now from the forum photo.

It's the pack dog mentality.

Yes. I owned his mother (a racing QH that won alot) and had her bred to a local QH race horse. Sent Juma to a trainer when he was 2 and he did great. Got him home, he was still great. I didn't ride him enough, about once a month or so, he no longer was great, bucked me off. I never could get my confidence back on him so I sold him to a barrel trainer.

OOHHHHHHH....:)

Good morning.

I sure hate to think they are dumped. Does that happen much where you are at?
Good luck finding their owners.

Yeah, that photo helped me see it better too. Do you see it a bit in Harley's pictures?

I was wondering if anyone has/will check their horses for this:)??? I'm just wondering how common it is, if it is a serious thing.

This farrier told me it was like having an in grown toenail, that it can make them ouchy, if they hit it just right.

Like I said, I'm in a wait and see mode now on all the stuff this guy said...I'm not saying he's wrong, not saying he's right, just waiting to see how we progress. If Harley keeps these shoes on, the jammed heels straighten out, he doesn't get sore anywhere, at that point I will sing his praises:)
