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!
Oh my! I’m so sorry. Prayers for you and your family.
We’re supposed to get snow tomorrow into Monday. I can’t wait for spring to arrive.
Yeah - me either. It’s almost coming.
Bay’s actually starting to shed already.
It’s suppose to warm up here today, right now tho, it’s overcast and dreary.
Becky
Well, so far, that’s all we’ve got too. Overcast and dreary.
What are you up to today? Have you still got company in town?
Jenny’s going to be here shortly and we are going to go run some errands, bank, Walmart..
I’ve just been getting the house back in order a little at a time. The company has all left. The night was bit long, and quiet, but not to bad.
Becky
Well, I take that back. I think we’re going to see if we can get a stick fire going before the snow comes. It’s at least a ~warm~ thing to do... if we can even get it going, that is.
Good luck with your future plans.
We got lots of wood here... we’re going to burn it just to get rid of it! I wish we had a fireplace.
It’s dreary here today, too. Supposed to be a nice afternoon, though. In the 60’s. 70’s tomorrow.
Find the beagle in the fallen leaves contest :~)
Find the beagle in the campfire contest :~)
Homer telling ecurbh some kind of sad story...
Gidget warms up by the fire...
And it was just about burnt up when the snow started falling. :~) Not sure how much snow we're going to get... we'll see :~)
Have you heard the dog liver and cheese joke?
I don’t think so...
3 male dogs (a lab, a pit and a chihuahua) were trying to win the affection of a fancy poodle. She told them that her favorite treats were liver and cheese and that she would choose the one that could court her the best
The lab went first. He told her he would bring her liver and cheese treats with flowers. She said "not bad" and turned to the pit
The pit told her he would bring her heart boxes full of liver and cheese bars
She really liked that. Then they all looked at the chihuahua. The big dogs even snickered.
Suddenly the little dog went after them. He attacked both the lab and the pit, biting and growling. They both backed off and the lab asked "what is wrong with you? The chihuahua growled again as the backed up some more and said "liver alone. cheese mine"
Oh.... heh ;~)
After I got through with that I headed down to the barn to help Lee put out another roll of hay for the horses and another for the cows. I can put out horse hay by myself with no problem, but putting out cow hay is a whold nother matter. Somebody's gotta open the gate for the tractor, and then it's just like a mob scene. You just have to keep driving and shoving them out of the way with the roll until you get it to the ring and can dump it in. If you weren't on a tractor they'd trample you to death.
So now I'm fixing to settle down with a warm bowl of soup coz I'm about froze to death. Seeya!
*snicker* :-)
