Odds and ends...

I was a little slow in picking up the award that Cdncowgirl left for me a few days ago... Sorry Cdn! Thanks for giving it to me. I think most of my reads have been awarded this one, so I might hold off on passing it around for now...THE ARTE Y PICO AWARD

The designer of this award has asked that the following be passed along with it: The origin of the Arte y Pico Award

This prize has arisen from the daily visits that I dedicate to many blogs which nourish me and enrich me with creativity. In them, I see dedication, creativity, care, comradeship, but mainly, ART, much art. I want to share this prize with all those bloggers that entertain me day to day and to share this prize with those who enrich me every day. Doubtlessly, there are many and it will be hard to pick just a few. The people I will name today deserve this prize, as do the very long serious list of bloggers I also enjoy to read. But I will name the first 10 and leave the rest of the work to all the bloggers that visit other's blogs and are nourished by them."Here are the rules, if you decide to pass the award further to remarkable blogs in blogosphere worth to mention.

The rules:
1. You have to pick 5 blogs that you consider deserve this award through creativity, design, interesting material, and also contributes to the blogger community, no matter of language.
2. Each award should have the name of the author with a link to their blog.
3. Award winners have to post the award with the name and link to the blog of the person who gave them the award.
4. Please include a link to the

Rusty update - he is eating like a horse (har har) and seems to be acting more like his old self. He is still on 2 types of meds, probably for at least another month. His weight is still low though, so hopefully we get the ok from the vet to start pumping more grain into him.

I was telling my friend about Rusty and she suggested I call a friend of hers. This lady is a registered dietician (for people), a competitive rider and also has a degree in animal nutrition. So, I emailed her last night and she thinks she can give me some suggestions for Rusty. I'm pretty happy that she might be able to help. I'm finding that vets don't always know alot about nutrition and there isn't much info online that I trust. Sooo, I'm hoping that this new contact can at least help me sort out what is true and what isn't in the wild world of equine nutrition. I'll do a post on it here when I have everything sorted out.
