I know Texas is a big state but I thought it would be nice to have a thread so Texas folk can communicate and get to know each other.

This can be a place of just getting to know each other, discuss our horses, share ideas, or knowledge, keep each other informed on events, functions, sales, news, etc.

What do ya think? Check in and let's begin!

It's definitely chilly this morning! Still wet, too. I had fun watching the horses in the rain a couple days ago. They went straight to the corner of the gate and stood with their butts to the wind. Any time the wind changed direction, their butts swiveled with it. :lol: It was like a rain ballet!

Good morning. 38 degrees here! Still misting rain! :D But, suppose to clear up today. I forgot to pull the trailer out of the pasture before it started raining, and we're taking it to the trail ride, leaving after lunch tomorrow..... Good thing we have a tractor! So I get to be "farmer Jack" according to my DH (my names Jackie). Whenever I get on HIS tractor, he gets jealous! Oh well, I have fun playing on it and tearing sh...tuff up! lol

Texasgal you made a good point there.
A pair of Calvins costs as much as a bag of Omolene 300. I go through at least 6 bags a week.
Now you have caught my attention. Shalom
Geeeeeeeeeeeeeez.. for a minute I thought you were going through 6 PAIRS a week ...

:shock:

:lol:

TG I remember Dark Shadows although my mother didn't watch those shows and wouldn't let us watch them either. If I had time to watch TV I would be watching old Adams Family shows!
Duh duh duh duh click click...
CC I just got through a week of state testing in school, but on the other side of things.
I administered a 9th grade reading and writing EOC tests Monday and Tuesday and helped proctor 10th grade reading and writing Wednesday and Thursday. We were on a very different schedule all week and everyone was so glad to get back to a normal day today. We still have two more rounds of testing to go this spring. Our kids seemed to handle it fairly well but the teachers are wiped out today. This afternoon I told my kids to throw away their iPad instead of put away their iPad ... that has to be the wackiest thing I've said all year!
I have a ton of yard work to do this weekend so haven't planned any rides but if I'm up to it Sunday morning I may go out. I can always ride in the arena but that is really boring. My mare has something going on because she wouldn't lope to the right all week, head bobbing, etc. although she does great going to the left. Who knows.
Maybe just maybe we will have pics of DBA' s colt this weekend...

My oldest survived her math and English tests this week - she felt ok about the math one (it took her a couple of hours - they have 4 hrs to complete it), but she finished the English one in 45 minutes and just held onto it b/c she didn't want to be the first to turn it in - LOL. Her weak subject is math and her best is English and anything related to language (she's starting her third year of honors Spanish - that's my girl!)

Her best friend (who plays three sports and takes honors everything and is too busy to even look at her own reflection in the morning) is getting a teeny break and will be staying with us for the weekend so I gave up any and all plans I had so I can stay here so they can spend some time together and have some fun after all of the stress of this week. OH JOY - teenage girls in the house again......

OUTNABOUT maybe it is something in her rear left since it tends to push off when taking the right lead? that is IF you are thinking lameness with the head bobbing and all. My arab HATES the right - but carrots do wonders. My horses can't stand arena anything. They fuss and cuss and rush and won't just trot out and relax - my yellow horse will start sidepassing across the arena at a trot all by himself just to say 'ok, so here's some fancy moves - are we done now?' and tries to head out back to the trails.

To be honest, I'm right there with them.:wink:

HOPE EVERYONE HAS A GREAT WEEKEND! I just have a little goal - TO SURVIVE IT. ;-)

What a great day! Got to visit with Dona;d and meet some of his herd! Here's his mare, colt and stallion. They are absolutely gorgeous!!!





It was very windy and the colt was a little nervous I think. Momma and daddy were very good!!!!
