Hydrating your horse in the wintertime
If you love horses and you already have a few of them, then I bet you are aware of the fact that when the wintertime will come, you will need to make sure that they will be going through it healthy and without any problems.
Because for a weakened horse the transition from the hot season to the cold season can be a little harsh, you should make sure that you are very much aware of the way he will feel in this time. Your horse health is vital and no animal lover would like to see his pets suffer. Below, you will find some tips that you can use in order to keep your horse healthy during the cold season.
1. As you know, in the summer time, you will be riding your horse more, so he will burn more calories and thus will produce more body heat. In the wintertime, riding the horse will not be possible anymore, or if yes, only for short periods of times, but with added risks. The horse, even though will not be suppressed to stress anymore, will still need to burn calories in order to generate body heat. So a good idea is to feed him 2 pounds of hay for every reduced pound of grain that you fed him with daily. Hay is very useful, for it will allow the horse to burn more calories and thus produce more heat in a shorter period of time.
2. Special horse supplements are recommended in the wintertime so make sure that you will check in with your vet to get some proper recommendations. Mineral licks and salt blocks are a good idea to start employing.
3. When it comes to equine health, it is not hard to maintain it and all you need is a little patience. The horse will not only need to eat hay, but you will also need to make sure that he is properly hydrated. In the cold season, the horses are more susceptible to horse colic, a very bad pain that will be due to the fact that their intestines get blocked due to large quantities of food. Make sure to feed him water that is a little warm and also put some hay in it.
Make sure that you will employ these tips and you and your horse will certainly make it through the cold season problems free. If you discover that horse arthritis affects your pet, immediately check in with the vet.

Many Happy Returns to the World’s Very First Dog Lovers Dating Site
The world’s very first dating site for dog lovers celebrates its fourth birthday today. Founded on 3rd January 2006 by Derek Collinson, a Scottish entrepreneur with a passion for dogs, it is now home to thousands of single dog lovers looking to meet someone who shares their love of man’s best friend.
Derek explains ‘There are an estimated 40 million single dog owners in America alone who find it difficult to meet other singles who don’t mind sharing their lives with dogs and all that entails (no pun intended). I believe that many dog lovers have tried the big mainstream dating sites and failed to find their soul mate despite a choice of millions of members and having spent a lot of time completing their in depth personality profiles.
I can see why people might think that having millions of members to choose from increases their chances of success but for many it can be a daunting task knowing who to choose from so many people resulting in them quite literally being spoilt for choice. For dog lovers using these sites, finding other dog lovers is a bit like trying to find a needle in a haystack!.
And whilst personality profiling is a useful aid to matching compatible people it is not the be all and end all. My view is that a love of dogs says as much if not more about that person and their personality than an in depth personality test ever can. Therefore providing an online dating service exclusively for dog lovers is far more likely to result in successful matching.
If you are a dog owner, sharing your life with a dog is a joy but if you’re not then habits like jumping on the sofa or bed, leaving hairs all over the place, licking you and chewing your favorite table or novel not to mention vets bills that will surprise and even bankrupt you can easily put an end to a beautiful relationship before it even begins!
So www.doglover.biz was born four years ago to introduce single dog lovers to one another who could share the joy of owning a dog without being put off by dogs’ habits and the considerable responsibilities and costs of dog ownership.’ Since then thousands of single dog lovers have flocked to the site and it continues to improve the site’s content and design, more and more single dog lovers are joining at an ever increasing rate.
Over the last 4 years there have been many new features added to enhance the experience of members but most importantly to encourage communication because without that no relationships can develop.
Today www.doglover.biz has a comprehensive range of match-making tools such as chat room, forums, blogs, instant one to one messaging, video, audio and photos, email, flirts, favorites, hot lists, new member and compatible members’ alerts. In addition members can get advice on dating and dogs from a panel of experts and horoscopes for dogs as well as people from the world famous Astrologer Russell Grant. Members who like to stay well informed can read the latest news on dating and dogs too.
The result is a world class dog lovers dating site that offers single dog lovers the best possible chance to find their soul mate.
And to celebrate its fourth birthday www.doglover.biz is offering new members a free 7 day trial!
So if you’re a single dog lover why not take advantage of their generous offer today and who knows you may be celebrating finding your soul mate much sooner than you expected.

Derek founded the leading dating site for dog lovers www.doglover.biz in June 2006, inspired by his lifelong love of dogs and the need for dog lovers to share their passion with others like them.

Wild Horse Redemption $18.55 Rated: NASynopsis: Wild horses have long roamed the American West. To keep populations stable and sustainable on public lands, thousands of these magnificent creatures are taken from their herds each year and trained, sold, or put out to pasture. Some of the horses end up in the Wild Horse Inmate Program, through which inmates at the East Canon Correctional Complex (East Canon, CO) learn the non-coercive methods of horse whisperers to tame and train the horses for adoption. THE WILD HORSE REDEMPTION traces the incredible stories of both the horses and the inmates, masterfully intertwining their parallel fates and their mutual struggle towards rehabilitation. The inmates' progress with their horses depends upon their ability to cultivate patience, fortitude, and empathy; interestingly, too, it is through the recognition of themselves in these wild animals that they better understand their own lives. The most stirring moments of this film capture the intimacy forged between beast and man in the dramatic space of the training ring, where both undergo extraordinary transformations. |

Only 2 More Chances to Own in Fischer & Frichtel's Wild Horse Canyon
Only two more owners will enjoy the privilege of an address in Wild Horse Canyon, Fischer & Frichtel's prestigious residential enclave on Wild Horse Creek Road in Chesterfield.
Located just 2-1/2 miles from Chesterfield Valley, the development is a masterpiece of nature – 12 extraordinary estate sites carved from 25 acres of densely wooded terrain that stretches along a bluff overlooking the Missouri River Valley. To the east, the property is protected by a dramatic ravine, and a rustic fieldstone structure guards the gated neighborhood entrance.
According to community sales manager Jim Horton, the remaining home settings are both walk-outs, each encompassing more than a full acre. The similarities end there, however. Site #4 is situated at the end of a cul-de-sac, delightfully secluded and backing to lush woods. Site #3 has a vast yard with more than enough space for an inground pool, putting green, or children's play area.
Architectural design choices are virtually unlimited for the final purchasers in Wild Horse Canyon, as well. The community features 10 plans from Fischer & Frichtel's sophisticated Estate Collection, base priced from $663,900 and allowing considerable freedom to customize. Buyers may also select from the builder's exquisite Signature Homes portfolio, the ultimate expression of personal taste and individuality.
Wild Horse Canyon's list of price-included quality amenities is far too lengthy to enumerate, and a valuable promotional package is currently in effect for homes in the Estate Collection.
Horton calls attention to the elegant and diverse streetscape, which is further emphasized by several full-custom homes and standard 3-car side-entry garages. "Fischer & Frichtel is well-known for its custom capabilities, and almost anything is possible in this community, from porte-cochères to in-home spas and theaters," he noted.
Assessing today's market conditions, Horton added, "Right now, the investment opportunity for purchasers is exceptional, and it's possible to own in this community for comfortably under $1 million."
Current residents include predominately business owners, corporate executives, and other professionals who appreciate Wild Horse Canyon's easy access to Highway 40 and the multitude of fine restaurants, commercial and retail centers, and entertainment and recreational facilities located in the immediate Chesterfield vicinity.
The entry gates to Wild Horse Canyon have been activated, and viewing is by appointment only. To arrange a private tour, contact Horton at 636-441-5913.
Interested prospects can find details regarding Fischer & Frichtel's Estate Collection and Signature Homes on the company website, FandFHomes.com

Art & Culture Tour of India
Tour Itinerary:
Day 01 - Arrival Mumbai
Arrive at Mumbai airport and transfer to the hotel. Check in and relax.
Mumbai is a vibrant and cosmopolitan city in Western India. The capital city of Maharashtra State, formerly known as Bombay lies in the southwestern part of India and occupies a peninsular site originally composed of seven islets lying off the Konkan coast of western India. Oozing with the self-confidence of a maverick moneymaker and a carefree attitude, Mumbai is also the country's financial and commercial hub and has a principal port on the Arabian Sea.
Overnight at the hotel.
Day 02 - At Mumbai
Morning after relaxed buffet breakfast at the hotel proceed for guided tour to visit Gateway Of India: Mumbai's principal landmark, the Gateway of India is a huge archway on the water's edge at Apollo Bunder. It is the starting point for most tourists who want to explore the city. This famous monument was built to commemorate the visit of the first ever British Monarch, King George V and Queen Mary in 1911. Mumbai Fort: The area north of Colaba is known as Mumbai Fort, since the old British fort was once located here. There are a lot of impressive buildings from Mumbai's golden period here. St. John's church, dedicated to the soldiers, who laid down their lives in the Sindh campaign of 1838, and the first Afghan war of 1843, is also worth a visit. Marine Drive in Mumbai: Marine Drive located in the central Mumbai, built in the 1920s and 30s on land reclaimed from the sea, is Mumbai's most famous thoroughfare. It is also referred to as the Queen's Necklace because of the dramatic line of street lamps lit up at night. Recently it has come to known as Netaji Subhashchandra Bose Road with Nariman Point on one end to Babulnath, at the foot of Walkeshwar on the other. Chowpatty Beach: Chowpatty Beach situated at the end of Marine Drive has a moderate expanse of sand and is the only beach in the central part of Mumbai. One can witnesses many Hindu religious ceremonies taking place at Chowpatty like the Annual Thread-Tying Ceremony initiating young boys into the Brahmin caste, 'Nariel Purnima' towards the end of the monsoons and 'Ganesh Chaturthi' immersions. Flora Fountain/ Hutama Chowk: This fountain situated in the heart of the city was erected in 1869 in honour of a British Governor of Bombay. Sir Bartle Frere. Flora Fountain marks a junction of five streets and known as the 'Picadilly Circus' of Mumbai, which is decorated at its four corners with mythological figures, the Fountain is a structure in dull stone with a statue of the Roman Goddess of flowers, on the top. Mumbai High Court: An attractive building in early English Gothic style, situated next to the Oval Ground is well worth a visit for its impressive architecture. Statues representing Justice and Mercy surmount the Central structure. Rajabai Clock Tower: Rajabai Clock tower, situated at the gardens of the Bombay University building rises above the portion of the library section. Consisting of five elaborately decorated storeys the tower is 280ft.in height. The top of the cupola is ornamented with sixteen statues depicting various Indian castes. Hanging Gardens in Mumbai: Also known as Pherozeshah Mehta Gardens, the Hanging Gardens were built in 1880 and renovated in 1921. These gardens are popularly known as Hanging Gardens, because of their location on the slope of a hill. The terrace garden looks south from Malabar Hill towards Colaba, and affords a panoramic view of the city or a breathtaking sunset. It is built over three reservoirs, which store 30 million gallons of water pumped here for cleaning before being supplied to the town. Kamala Nehru Park, Mumbai: The Malabar hill offers superb views of Mumbai. On top of the Malabar hills are the Hanging Gardens and Kamala Nehru Park. Built in 1952 and named after the wife of India's first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, this park covers an area of 4,000 sq. yards and from here one enjoys a magnificent view of the lights on Marine Drive, also known as the 'Queen's Necklace'.
Relax at the hotel in the evening.
Day 03 - Mumbai to Aurangabad:
Morning after breakfast at the hotel transfer to airport to board flight for Aurangabad. Meeting on arrival and transfer to the hotel.
Aurangabad was founded in 1610, on the site of a village, Khirki by Malik Ambar - the Prime Minister of Murtaza Nizam Shah II. When Fateh Khan, Malik Ambar's son turned successor in 1626, he gave the city the name 'Fatehpur'. Later in 1653, when Prince Aurangzeb became Viceroy of the Deccan, he made the city his capital and called it Aurangabad. Aurangzeb added the walls that enclose the central part of the city in 1686 in order to withstand attacks from the Marathas. There are four principle gateways to the city - the Delhi Darwaza, the Jalna Darwaza, the Paithan Darwaza and the Mecca Darwaza. Nine secondary gateways also formed a part of the defensive system of this city.
Aurangabad today is a bustling city of Maharashtra with diverse big and small industries, fine silken textiles, and exquisite hand woven brocades of silver and gold fabrics, Himroo, of world frame. To scholars and lovers of art and culture the city is more familiar as the gateway to the ancient caves of Ajanta and Ellora, both famous as treasure houses of Indian Art and Sculpture.
Afternoon proceed for a guided tour to visit to Aurangabad Caves: The almost forgotten caves of Aurangabad lie just outside the city. Excavated between the 2nd and 6th century AD, they reflect Tantric influences in their iconography and architectural designs. In all there are nine caves, which are mainly viharas (monasteries). The most interesting among these are Caves 3 and 7. The former is supported on 12 highly ornate columns and has sculptures depicting scenes from the legendary 'Jakata' tales. Cave 7 with its detailed figures of bejeweled women also has a dominating sculpture of a 'Bodhisattva' praying for deliverance. Daulatabad Fort: Once known as 'Devgiri', this magnificent 12th century fortress stands on a hill just 13 km. from Aurangabad. It was given the name Daulatabad, the 'city of fortune', by Muhammad Tughlaq, Sultan of Delhi. Initially a Yadav stronghold, it passed through the hands of several dynasties in the Deccan. One of the world's best-preserved fort of medieval times, surviving virtually unaltered, Daulatabad yet displays the character that made it invincible. This fortress was conquered only by treachery. A series of secret, quizzical, subterranean passages lie coiled like a python amidst the fort. Here flaring torches were thrust upon an unwary enemy. Or hot oil poured down his path, as he deliberated in the labyrinth. Also the heat from a brazier was blown into the passage by a process of suction suffocating the entire garrison within. The Fort itself lies in the body of an isolated hill; the steep hill - sides at the base falling so sharply to the moat that no hostile troops could scale the height. The moat, 40 ft. deep with mechanical drawbridges teemed with crocodiles. A 5-kilometer sturdy wall, artificial scarping and a complicated series of defenses made Daulatabad impregnable. The 30-meter high Chand Minar (Tower) built much later with 3 circular galleries had a defensive and religious role in the fortress.
Overnight stay at the hotel.
Day 04 - At Aurangabad
Morning after an early breakfast at the hotel proceed for full day excursion to visit Ajanta and Ellora Caves.
Ajanta caves: Nestling in an inner fold of the Sahyardi hills, 100 km from Aurangabad in the shape of a mammoth horse- shoe, are the 30 rock-hewn caves of Ajanta. The Caves date from the 2nd century BC. Discovered in 1819 by a group of British army officers, these startling achievements took around 600 years to create. Carved with little more than a hammer and chisel, Ajanta, once the retreat of Buddhist monastic orders features several 'chaityas' (chapels) and 'viharas' (monasteries). The exquisite wall and ceiling paintings, panels and sculptures of Buddha's life are famous throughout the world as the earliest and finest examples of Buddhist pictorial art.
Ellora Caves: Impressive in their own right is the rock-hewn temples and monasteries of Ellora that lie just 30 km away from Aurangabad city. In all, there are 34 cave temples, 12 Mahayana Buddhist caves (550-750 AD), 17 Hindu caves (600-875 AD) and 5 caves of the Jain faith (800-1000 AD) 22 more caves, dedicated to Lord Shiva, were recently discovered. Kailash Temple (cave16), the central attraction at Ellora, is the most remarkable. Chiseled by hand from a single massive rock, it includes a gateway, pavilion, courtyard, vestibule, sanctum, sanctorum and tower, which bear testimony to the excellence of Dravidian art. It is believed to have taken 7000 laborers, working in continuous shifts and 150 years to build. Ever since the first European visitors in 18th Century, Ellora has attracted chroniclers, antiquarians, scholars and in more recent years, ever- increasing numbers of tourists.
Overnight at the hotel.
Day 05 - Aurangabad to Udaipur- Fly
After relaxed breakfast at the hotel transfer to the airport to board flight for Udaipur. Meeting on arrival at Udaipur Airport and transfer to the hotel. Rest of the afternoon free to relax. Evening enjoy a motor launch cruise on the placid waters of Lake Pichola. From the boat you will see the city of Udaipur as it rises majestically above the lake in the middle of the Rajasthan desert. Also visit the Jag Mandir Palace - the other island palace in the middle of the lake. You may opt to take a boat to Lake palace hotel for dinner tonight.
Day 06 - At Udaipur
Morning after buffet breakfast at the hotel proceed for a sightseeing tour of Udaipur, stopping first at City Palace where you will marvel at rooms with mirrored walls and ivory doors, colored glass windows and inlaid marble balconies and the Peacock Courtyard. Continue your visit to see Sahelion-ki-Bari Gardens, the Jagdish Temple and the local folk Museum.
Afternoon free to relax or self explore this city of lakes.
