This is x-tra special because it's from a DBW sister :-)

"Congratulations!
Irish, I love your site. When I read your pages I could feel the passion you have for the sport of foxhunting. Though I could never kill a fox, I have one on my farm that keeps the mice at a minimum. I think it would be such a great adventure to be on one. I would so like to hear what you are doing now. Have you gotten back into horses, etc...I would like an up-date to read on your site. Well I like your pages so much I am awarding you the Free Spirit award. I feel you are one. Lazy Horse is pleased to present you with
this award for the hard work you have put into your great web site."

Just a thought....
Up until 2006 I belonged to several Awards Presentation sites, and to this day I'm very careful when applying for one for this site. One doesn't just apply for "the sake of applying" but because you believe that the person awarding really thinks your work deserves recognition.
