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!

S'posed to rain in the Hill Country too starting Wednesday through Saturday. Can't wait, though I have to get all of the stuff put back into the attic that the hubby took down while fixing an electrical issue (dang mice!).

Do you live in Hill Country? I'm not far from there.

Yes, I got some rain today. I was jumping for joy, needed it badly! Even after the spring flooded us.

I know what you mean. We have a run in/2 stall down in the pasture and then another 2 stall up near the house. I bring my oldest and youngest up to the house when it gets nasty. The other two stay down in the pasture and share the run in. Every time I go down though, Oliver is standing in one of the stalls, enjoying himself, the dry hay and the windbreak and Cowboy the former working ranch horse chooses to stand out in the rain and wind...silly boy!

I just keep telling myself that the boys were raised in big open pastures in Northern Arkansas ..with no shelter.

Charm, while spoiled with show-type barns, lived in Ohio before I got her.

Texas weather is .. meh .. to them.

My husband was joking the other day about the conversation that was happening between Oliver and Cowboy.

Oliver: Hey dude, plenty of room in here, its warm, dry footing, good eating.

Cowboy : It's just not natural for a horse to be like that in this weather. Here look at me, you see this thick coating of mud I rolled on all over me? Now that's a real horse!

Oliver: Yeah, but it is so nice in here, dry, all the hay you can eat, nice bedding to lay down in......

Cowboy: I'm telling you its not natural, man. I think I could use another coating of mud, feel free to join me.

Oliver: but my peeps like me clean.....

Cowboy: WOOOHHOOO! I love being a real horse!~

Of course Cowboy is also a white horse with the wooliest winter coat and it will take me days to get him completely clean, just in time for the next round of rain......sigh.

Texasgal, your photography is so lovely! You have such lovely subjects to practice your artistic craft on, too <3

Cash & Lark calmly step over and graze around the ground poles and cones I set out a few days ago, yet Lark acts like those very same items are going to eat her once I'm on her back. What the heck? lol
