This group is for everyone that is interested in horses. We welcome those that ride western, english, saddleseat, side saddle, and any other discipline, or just ride for fun. Even those that do not currently own horses, drive their horses, or just like horses for pasture pets are welcome to come in and chat away! Feel free to discuss training, health, showing, breeding, color genetics, selection, tack, or anything else horse related. Please post your favorite photos in the Group Photos area! The main group photo will be rotated every week or so.

Group RULES:

1. BE NICE: No flaming, flame wars, name calling, or any other stupidity.
2. Do not post personal information. This is just for your own safety.
3. Absolutely NO for sale or commercial posts in the message board. You may post commercial or for sale ads in the bulletins area or in the pinned "trading post" topic. Recommendations are fine so long as they are on topic.
4. No Spamming, Hacking, or other such nonsense.
5. Discussion on Horse Slaughter is not allowed. See the links below if you'd like to discuss this issue or to learn more about it.
6. If you're going to ask a HR question, we need the following information:Age, Training history, Health history (it is great when someone says that health issues have been ruled out in a training post), Feed (exactly what and how much), Rider level, Breed, Mare/gelding, Tack/bit/etc.

Trouble makers will be banned without warning. THIS is your warning.
