Blessi--ngs: Life with an Icelandic horse has been in existence for almost a year now. So I thought I would commemorate this achievement by giving away a Blessi--not The Blessi--but a stuffed version of Blessi that I made.
So here are the rules. Just go through the past year's postings and make a comment on one or more posts. I will go through all the postings on the evening of January 9 and determine the "best" posting. Criteria will be most amusing, most thought provoking, best shared story of your horse, or whatever may takes my fancy that day.
On January 10 I will announce the winner and make arrangements to get your address to mail you the stuffed Blessi. And, yes, I will mail overseas. Unfortunately, I only have one stuffed Blessi to give away but it is the closest that I could come to cloning him. ;-)
And the winner is Chris--who not being able to leave a comment due to technology issues, emailed the following comment on the Blessi apple bobbing contest:
Dear Blessi,
I bet I could beat you at apple bobbing.
Sincerely,
Gizmo

CONGRATULATIONS GIZMO AND CHRIS!!!!
As a little girl, I always wanted a pony for Christmas. Santa never brought me a pony. So in my late 40s, I started taking horseback riding lessons. When I turned 50, I got my first horse, an Icelandic named Blessi (Veigar frá Búðardal). Little did I know how much fun life with an Icelandic was going to be. Blessi has a unique perspective on life. I hope you enjoy reading about it as much as I enjoy Blessi. And you will probably read about my cats from time to time.
