Catching Up - Awards and Updates

With all the stuff going on with my Arabian horses recently, not to mention the current situation with Dandy, I've gotten behind on some things. I've been given some awards and think I better get them posted before I totally forget.

The first one came from midlife mom over at Home on the Range The Equine Excellence in Care Award and also from Arlene over at Grey Horse Matters I truly appreciate midlife mom and Arlene for including me on the list of those who have received this award.

Since I took my sweet time in passing this award along, it's going to be tough to find horse bloggers who haven't received it yet.

I would like to pass the award on to Molly at HolaMole' who takes very special care of her buckskin mare, Bella.

Holly at Dogsnhorses who takes great care of all of her critters and I just loved the pics of the new kitties.

Then there's Beth at Around the Funny Farm It's not just that I can relate to being on a funny farm. She takes great care of her critters as well.



The Hesitant Scribe awarded me the Excellence in Blogging Award. I really appreciate this honor as well. It's nice to know that people appreciate the time at spend at this darn computer writing about my horse experiences.



I would like to pass this award on to some of my favorite non horse blogs. SusieJ who I somehow lost in my blogreader and only found again recently. I have missed you Susie. Your blog rocks.

Abraham Lincoln at Brookville Daily Photo is also another very special blog to me. His photography is amazing particularly his pictures of all kinds of critters. He seems to capture the most natural and curious shots of wildlife I've ever seen.

Arthist99 at Gorilla Wordfare is another of my must reads. She's dedicated to animal rights but not to the sense of unreason (which translates to she doesn't expect me to quit riding my horses) and isn't afraid to voice her opinion on about anything.

Frazzled Farm Wife is another must read in my blogreader. I love to her perspective about the different aspects of her life from cows, pigs, the prom and a vacation in Vegas. I also appreciate her support.

Billie over at camera-obscura is blogger I appreciate. I never know whether it'll be horses, cameras, other critters or organizing my closet ( a challenge I still need to tackle!) but I appreciate her look at life.



A while back I was given another award by midlife mom over at Home on the Range The Horse Lovers Award I'm embarrassed to say I haven't gotten around until posting this award until now. I think I must have OCD about when the appropriate time is to interrupt in a series of posts and so I keep posting and posting and posting........not always taking care of business. I really appreciate this award as well. I think every one of the horse blogs I know has received it already but maybe not some of the new ones, well newer ones to me maybe, if not newer to the blogosphere.


On the bit at A horse and a half is a blog I've found recently. There's also, all things horses written by trail riding cowgirl.

OK, that's it for me, my brain is numb trying to figure out who I haven't given awards to yet who should be getting them. If I missed anyone out there I apologize, my sixty something brain can't remember what it did twenty minutes ago let alone who has and hasn't gotten these awards. At least I'm not passing out some silly virus again.

To those receiving these awards, post them on your blog and if you'd like post where you get them. Hopefully that'll help all of us find rankings in the search engines so we can build our readership and maybe recruit some new people to begin blogging about their horses or whatever else they fancy.


For those of you wondering about Dandy's condition. He has improved some but is still not out of the woods. It's more probiotics and wheat bran mash for him. He is still somewhat bloated but showing signs of feeling better. Rachel was pulling weeds in his paddock and he was rolling a small blue barrel at her wanting to play. That makes me feel a bit better but I'll be glad when the bloating is finally done. This has been a long week.

I'd like to thank everyone for their concern about my horse. I really appreciate all the prayers and thoughtful wishes. I hope this chapter in our lives will be over soon and Dandy and I can go on making more blog post material.
