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, usually about our horses, sometimes about our dogs, gardens and other stuff we do. :~)
I have a ping list for horse threads that are of interest, and MissTargets will ping everyone most mornings. Let MissTargets and/or me know if you would like to be on the ping list.
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.

New folk and occasional posters, jump right in and introduce yourselves, tell us about your horses, and post pictures if you've got them!
Ugh - sloppy mess out there...
The horses have barely left the barn in days and the stalls were bad. Clean and dry now... for now...
Yikes.
We have to go to the Courthouse and pay money, and fill out a form and be fingerprinted the first time.
They do some checks. It comes in the mail two weeks later :~)
The videos are beautiful. You did a wonderful job.
Dang Beaker! If you get much more you're gonna need a periscope to see around the corners when you're driving!
Sounds like when my husband was in N.J. He had to go through all that red tape stuff too, just to BUY a .45 pistol, never mind carry it.
He was in the Army Reserves at the time, so he was fooling around with tanks, .50 cal machine guns, and grenades one weekend a month and 2 weeks in the summer, all with the Army's junky .45 on his hip since he was "A Nofficer" . . . he got his CO and a unit member who was a police chief to sign his application. It STILL took SIX MONTHS to get his flippin' permit to BUY ONE PISTOL.
Around here, nobody cares how many firearms we buy. The best thing about applying for a carry permit is that it allows you to fill out the forms on the spot and carry whatever you buy away without a background check.
You just go see the Probate Judge and fill out a form, pay $25 and give them your fingerprints. The carry permit shows up in the mail about 4 weeks later.
Lots of hard work there, but it sure was enjoyable.
Beaker, Frog’s “cat on the wreath” picture sure needs a LOLcat caption.. :)
Hey there MT! Haven’t heard from you in a while. You getting a lot of snow too?
Tuffy, we haven’t heard from you in a while either. You doing ok? Howz Mina progressing? Any new pics of that gorgeous girl?
LOL - Very good!
That is great! I knew you could do it.
Yes, Sunday it snowed all day and we had an accumulation up over 6 inches. Schools were closed on Monday.
Doing fine, just busy with getting ready for Holidays.
Hey Frog, and everybody! I’m doing fine, just busy with Christmas. I’m almost finished shopping. Mina is as sweet as ever but I haven’t been doing anything with her. I’ll send her to a trainer after the first of the year. If she does well, I’ll have a horse to ride this spring.
“I hate it when it’s like that. Depresses the heck outta me. We’re kinda dreary here too, but at least it’s not real cold, just damp.”
Glad to know I’m not the only one with that reaction to dark, damp weather. Gonna be sunny and 74 today but we do have a cold front heading this way. High tomorrow is twenty degrees cooler but I don’t think it’s going to be dreary.
LOL!! That’s a good one!
