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!
LOL...
LOL.
You must get constipated or something if you can't get in the last word.
This is the saddle club and you are embarrassing yourself. Since you won't be able to potty unless you get the final say, I'll let you have it. Wouldn't want to be cruel to animals.
Well, since you are still here, tell us about you. Where are you from? Do you have horses? What brought you to this thread?
Officer.... dude... it's for the cat! :~)
I asked for a kitty ping :~)
Hey, now, I don't think she meant that as a dig...I didn't take it that way.
I'm not trying to bash you here either, but I didn't see anything really all that wrong with her first post..as far as we know she doesn't "know" hair, so IMO, her post was appropriate, hence my comment to her that money really wasn't the issue here. I've seen many many people who DON"T treat an animal at all because of money. I also know people who go way too far the other extreme, spending way to much.
I hate to see our thread look so unwelcoming to new people, just because they may say something not agreed with. She didn't have the info we have about Hair...And personally, I hate seeing animals suffer too.

I was pinged here because of a cat issue....I love horses.....had one for a few years....miss riding one. I had a neighbor who had a big room full of trophies and ribbons from all the horse events she partook in...this was years ago though.
I also know people who go way too far the other extreme, spending way to much.
Thanks...and yes, this probably describes me....
She may not have meant it but it was an inappropriate response.. Hair invited her though so...claws retracted:').
Actually I was invited by someone else.....and I didn't think it was 'innappropriate'. To the point and blunt? Perhaps.
It's not an easy decision. I had a dog I held on too long to and he suffered a lot. I had another animal though that I thought about letting go, didn't and he recovered fine. It's not an easy choice. Money is a consideration but much more has to go into the decision. Welcome.
My cat Tam, on da 'nip...
It's rather frightening.
We are going to have to disagree on that then. :')
Good post Becky... Everyone just be cool ... I think we'll take the cat in the back of the truck... shouldn't be too hard on him. And then we'll see.
