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!
Isn’t there an explanation on posting pics on the saddle club who’s who page? Scroll all the way to the bottom.

i think i have just sold this baby
ok that wasn’t right...try again
ok hopefully this works i think i just sold this colt
Sounds like what I had, 'cept it was turnip greens and hog jowel instead of ham. Yuuuuuummm!!
Oooooo, what a lovely baby! I love the blue eye! Congrats on the sale.
thank you....the girls fiance just left for iraq....i think she is going to lavish all of her attention and the colt will be in heaven
it is killing me to have to sell almost all of our horses...but if i could find all of them homes like this i am sure that they would be loved
Congratulations to Ruby - that’s great.
Pups are doing fine. Everyone fell in love with Belle at the duck hunt. Unfortunately, no ducks.
That’s the kind of home you dream about. I sure hope I can find ones like that for another one or two of mine. I just sold one of my fillies a week or so ago to a young couple who seem like they’re going to be real good to her. I gave them a two week money-back trial period to make sure she’s a good fit for them, but even then, as Duchess’s situation proves, things can STILL not work out. But I’m keeping my fingers crossed.
Oh he is beautiful :)
I sure hate to hear that you’re having to sell your horses. That would be hard on me too, but it sounds like you’re doing right by them in finding them good loving homes.
That sounds so familiar :) and good.
Heart attack on a plate is probably what it is. ;o) Because of course everything is liberally seasoned with the pork drippings and plenty of salt.
...and of course a 3 pound pan of cornbread to go with it.
I’m determined to get most of mine sold. I’ve only had the one bad experience with selling and one with leasing - I won’t lease anymore.
My great niece came by tonight with her mom, dad and brother. She’s off to college next year and we were talking equestrian programs. I said, hey - take BamBam with you to school, she can do anything you want. She loves CJ. I said, honey, CJ isn’t even trained and her answer was, I know, I can train her :) Guess maybe I’ll keep this in the back of my mind.
I don't blame you. I don't think people take care of something that's not really theirs.
That’s exactly what I found, Friday lost so much weight and her feet were never touched. The depressed look in her eyes was the worst.
Yeah, I remember that. That was awful. Makes you wanna beat the crap out of ‘em don’t it.
Oh yeah it does. Best I can do is not do business with them anymore and if their name comes up in conversation mention the shape Friday was in when I found her.
