Welcome to the November 21, 2007 edition of horse lovers blog carnival. I think this carnival has had the most submissions so far. There were a few people that posted more than 2 posts and I apologize if I did not make the rule of 2 submission maximum clear. For those that did submit more than 2 posts I just picked my two favorites. GP got to have one extra post because she had submitted to a carnival that didn’t exist a while back. I felt badly about that so I decided to include an extra post from her blog. was given permission to allow her junior authors to submit posts so that is why there are 4 submissions from GirlsHorseClub.com blog.

By the way Girls Horse Club is trying to raise money for the International Fund for Horses. I think this is a great opportunity for us to say thank you to the horse. Girls Horse Club has a goal to raise $1,000 by January 1st. So far they have only raised $100 and January 1st is just right around the corner. Remember every dollar helps so after reading the great posts from the girls at Girls Horse Club, please contribute to the cause. Thanks Girls Horse Club for heading up this fund raiser and thank you for submitting your posts on thankfulness. It was a true blessing to read them.

Fran Jurga presents “War Horse” Front and Center on British Stage /The Jurga Report: Horse Health Headlines Blog on EquiSearch.com posted at The Jurga Report: Horse Health Headlines, saying, “This is a thankful post; I’m thankful that I have horses to inspire me…and I’m always so touched at the way horses inspire others. Even after a lifetime of writing about horses, I find new people–like the producers of this play in London–who use the horse as a metaphor for something as weighty as the horrors of war. The horse is a powerful source in my day-to-day life, in literature, in art…and now even on the stage. Thank you!”
