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!
She’s just the last in a long line of refugees who have found there way here... :~)
I wouldn’t expect anything less of you. That is wonderful. It’s just too bad; we can’t keep all of them.
You take great pics. My little pinkie is always in mine. I took a roll of film to be put on cd and the woman just hooted and howled. Only 7 pics were good because my pinkie was in all the rest. I am going to have to tie it down. LOL
That means "kind hearted lady lives here".
Possibly the nicest Newfoundland in the world, who lives on our street, is named Angus. He is a sweetheart, he plays (very gently) with Ruby and Shelley. You can see him being careful, even with Ruby the Egregious (who doesn't back down an inch!)
I love those Newfoundlands. I see them at the shows all the time. I love your pups. I bet that Ruby is a riot.
Great idea.

What a beautiful bird!! I always did the same, hauled home the lost, wandering and forlorn - or they seemed to find me - and when I asked my grandmother if she thought Mom or Dad would be mad, she would tell me this!
I agree :~) On all counts! 2J should have her chickens! :~)
OK - now that I know what the sign looks like maybe I can find it ;~)
Well, we know it’s down at a level that can be read by a chicken . . . and short dogs . . . .
Here's an old picture...me, with the Easter Eggers, sleeping in my arm.
..............or Ralph Kramden.....what was his schtick??..."Homina, homina, homina...........", something like that?? Too funny, and Shelley is a knock-out, look at that girl work!!
Awwwwwww! Ain’t they cute! You’re a good Mother Hen, both human and avian.
Thanks Hair. Turns out that they ended up closing shop today. It’s just as well, as I’m down with a miserable cold, and we were without power for most of the day.
Well that’s good that you didn’t have to go in. Sorry ‘bout the cold. Were you without power at home or at work?
That's me on Bob in this picture. He's really darkened up this winter. Even BladeRider didn't recognize him. She said "Who's that black horse you're riding?" 
Very cool! Now that’s what I pictured the South looking like before I saw all your cliffs! Rolling green hills... Very pretty.
Glad to see you on Bob... you haven’t been riding him much lately, I was going to ask you about him!
His feet finally got back in good enough shape to shoe, and I put him bach in his NBs and he’s doing great.
And good to see someone riding around here :~)
Bay looked good moving yesterday, and I haven't given him any Bute in several days now. Looking forward to this week, because it's supposed to really dry out and be nice for several days... I'd like to work him some and see if he's really doing well or if I need the vet out for more diagnostics.
I didn't catch any real good pictures of him yesterday, but I did catch a couple of the mares showing us their asses. ;~)
Look at Cyn with her eyes closed. I catch her with her eyes closed a lot in pictures... it might explain a lot about why she's so clumsy ;~)
