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!
Are you sure that's not one of those virtual horse sites, they pirate pics and "sale" and "show" virtual horses... Just a thought.
Nope, doesn't appear to be a virtual site after I looked. You know, that makes you think that they are going to require a deposit, and then skip with someone's money. You should inquire!
Yep that's Tuffy and I'm spitting nails so to speak :)
Well, she sure picked a pretty horse to pretend to sell, huh? LOL
Shoot, I wouldn't be able to wait until this evening.. set up a free yahoo account and mail the little illiterate horse thief! We all want to know!
If nothing else, they are using a picture I took without my permission. Don't know if that would work or not.
:) Well, she could have asked a little more money I think.
I already have a yahoo account with my name so I don't think I can get another one from the same ISP.
That is so bizarre! And scary too. How did you manage to find it? Were you just scanning horses for sale or what?
No, I got an email from someone inquiring through an ad I have on another site. Really pretty nasty as a matter of fact, asking who really owned this horse since they had seen him at horseville.com. I started to send a nasty email back and then thought maybe I ought to check just in case.
No kidding!! I guess she's figuring that she'll get LOTS of inquiries if she puts him at a low price ...
Well, I sure would like to wring her little neck :)
You've got to wonder what her angle could be. How could someone profit from a scam like this? Surely people don't send money for a horse sight-unseen.
Hi! West, near Katy.
That's what I don't understand. Although 20+ years ago I bought a horse, site unseen. It was from a nationally known breeder though and I had seen pictures of her and her previous foals. (and for a heck of a lot more than that)
I wonder if it's not just some different way of Phishing. How do people figure crap like this out?!
Really bizarre, duchess! What a coincidence that the potential buyer would even have made the connection! and contacted you! All the bad grammar and BS in that ad and the emailer thought maybe ~you~ were the fraud?
It's an obvious fraud, I'd sure report it in a hurry, at least to the site so they can remove all her other ads too, if she has any, but maybe even to law enforcement.
I think this person is hoping they will do just that!
Poor tuffy, she gelded him already.
Which brings up a funny point. She says he's a gelding and then turns around and says he'll throw 100% color.
LOL!! I hadn't even noticed that. So funny!
