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!

We (DH and DD15) live in Montgomery County.
We have 5 acres.
One Arabian mare .. in the market for a horse for husband/daughter.
I raise chickens, have rabbits, 2 dogs and a flying squirrel.
I have not used one but I know someone who has. Maybe you should call a vet and ask if they can recommend one.
Let me make a phone call and get back with you.
I had a weekend that I would just as soon forget ever happened.
I spent Sat. Night and all sunday in the holding cell of the Dallas Jail. While having dinner with a few friends my debit card company alerted m that my credit card was just used at the Wyndam Hotel at Love Field. MY wallet was missing I then discovered. Another young man in our group was missinng an IPad and a lady her purse. .
I call 911 and collin county tells me I have to call Dallas. Dallas poice inform me the Hotel has to call them.
So the young man I and 2 others jump in his car and proceed to the Hotel at record speed . He gets pulled over for speeding.
He said I have a warrant for violating my probation. You just take the car. Everything was ok until the officer said he was going to search the car because the young mans probation was drug related.
No problem right? There was a bag of marijauna under the front seat.
So we all got a free trip and visit to the jail's holding tank.
My company in the cell consisted of Dallas's best examples of drug users. drunks, and other criminally minded folks.
Needless to say I did not sleep for 30 hours and will have nightmares for the rest of my life. Shalom
Made it to the barn last night and, again, greeted by Mr. Attitude. He straightened up pretty quick, but it's annoying. Grrr.
Had a nice chat with Barn Owner (dressage trainer, Andalusian & Arab owner) about western pleasure horse bloodlines vs. training. Cash is the first WP bred horse she's boarded and it still blows her mind that he moves so low & slow naturally, lol. Was fun to "compare notes" regarding the good & the bad in different disciplines and breeds.
Holy crap DBA, I think you definitely get the prize for cruddiest weekend on this thread. That just stinks. One of those days where one regrets ever walking out the front door. So sorry. I hope it all got worked out. Guess it's time to reevaluate your circle of friends.
cynical I was not charged with any crime. I was released with out ever being booked into the jail.
The lady whose purse was stolen is married to a local District Attorney. She was out within a few hours.
What complicated my release was a lack of identification. The DA though made phone call Sunday and I was to be released early Sunday morning. I dont know why they waited until Monday morning but am very glad to be out. Shalom
DBA that is horrible. I'm glad it is over and you are back home safe. That is just ridiculous. Were you ever able to retrieve your stolen items? I can't believe they had to hold you for so long. Our lovely justice system hard at work, yet again.
I do know they used my card to the tune of 2000$. The credit cards I do not use regularly and I have to call to reactivate though they did try and use one.
My bank will reimburse me for most of the purchases but I have to prove I was unavailable to call them. They are willing to work with me.
My main concern is that they have my Drivers Licsense, Military ID, and other information about me.
Weed man will probably never see that Ipad again but I am no feeling sorry for him.
But this too shall pass and I believe you need to look for the blessing in every thing that happens to you. I have not found it yet and am in no mood to look to hard for it but in the future I am sure I can laugh about this. Just not today or tomorrow. Shalom
WOW! DBA! That sounds like something you see in the "cops" shows. Sure, the passenger didn't know! Sure he lost his wallet! Glad it worked out in the end, no charges pressed! Hope it works out with the credit card issue also! Good luck
Wow DB, that sounds like one crazy weekend! Glad you made it out alive and unscathed, physically at least.
Did they take all of you in because he didn't claim the drug as his? I thought they only took in whoever the drugs belonged to, unless no one fesses up then everyone goes? Posted via Mobile Device

In a perfect world that might work, lol! Several years back I was being driven home by a friend when I'd had too much to drink. She was sober but got pulled over for speeding; cop asked me to step out of the car (which I did, since I was always told to respond to a police order) and then he arrested me for public intoxication.
ouch DBA.....my mucky cold yucky ridingless weekend rises to a GREAT weekend in comparison!!!! i guess 1 blessing already evident would be that it was dallas and not a teensy tiny "small town" where they might have kept you long enough to pay the rent!!!LOL. not making light of your weekend---but yes the humor will rise to the surface---we hope! when the "nightmares" show up? ride the HAY out of them!!! praying you a blessed week ahead--you deserve it!
everybody stay safe whereever you must journey this week!
Can do a Ron White thing... I wasn't in public, until you threw me in public! lol
too many bad people out there, they have to treat the good ones like a bad one, until they find out differently. It's pressumed guilty until found innocent!
Everyone I am fine. I did see two of my vets that dropped out of treatment and I am worried about them . I am glad they are no longer on the street and hopefully this stay in jail will be their wake up call.
Isnt it funny that when you want to be incognito someone you know just happens to show up? Or it just me?
I have contacted my lawyer and am taking steps to cover my behind legally in case of any doubts.
Shalom
I am new to this forum and was happy to see this sub-forum for Texans. I live just North of Austin. I'm just getting back into working with my horse after some time off for health reasons (like a year). I've hired a trainer who is going to help us both.I'm starting from the ground up with gaining her trust again, and ground manners, etc. I want to get all that firmed up before I put my butt in a saddle. Once I do get on her my trainer is going to assist with my riding. It has been a long time since I've ridden and I am determined to finally get up and have fun!
I do not have a trailer yet, but I want to get one sometime soon, but finding a tall trailer on my budget may take a miracle. I'd love to find some fellow Austinites to ride with
Here's my girl. Her name is Nyxi and she is an 11 (or so) Percheron. She was about to get her teeth floated so she wasn't too happy about that.
welcome Nyxi---i am really new to the forum too--so far the texas group aces it for hospitality! your girl is gorgeous! no wonder you are looking for a tall trailer...LOL! have a blessed day all!
Welcome Nyxi, glad you found us! There are a few of us in your area, I think
My friend got the chiros number and she will be out tomorrow. It's gonna be a busy day for her with 5 - 10 horses to work on and I will be there all day as well
Have a wonderful Wednesday y'all! Posted via Mobile Device
Henny needs to be pampered(like he's ever not). Though when we were talking about after treatments with my two vets, they said a chiropractor would not be the way to go? His neck may have healed incorrectly and the chiro could do some serious damage trying to "correct" it. So that's why he gets acupuncture. But, he hasn't gotten it since last March. Bad horse mommy. I'll have to talk with my vet about getting him done when he goes in for his shots and coggins.
