Special Horses, Inc. is about to launch our next fundraiser…a repeat of the wonderfully successful “Winners!” contest.
In late spring horse lovers around the globe begin to think of horse shows and competitions, and of course, the coveted Triple Crown. The finest horses in the world will be in the spotlight for all of us to see. Certainly, the horses participating in these events are winners – just to be entered in either requires a horse of considerable caliber. We would like to take this opportunity to highlight how all horses are winners – in what they give to us, as pleasure mounts, broodmares, therapy horses, retired companions – in all the varied ways that they enrich our lives.
We invite you to submit a photo and a 250 word description that details what you feel makes your horse a “winner.” The cost of registering will be $25 per horse, which also includes a Special Horses “Winners” t-shirt created especially for this event!
It is then up to you to encourage friends and family (at $5 a vote, payable via PayPal on the site) to vote for your special horse. Each participant will have their own page and link to share via email, on Facebook, via Twitter, even in your local news! We will update vote totals nightly and the three horses with the greatest number of votes will win a “Win,” “Place,” or “Show” prize basket.

The contest will launch June 21st, 2010 at 9am EST and you will have until July 19th, 2010 at 9am EST to submit your entries and get your page out to fans for voting. The proceeds of this contest will be evenly distributed amongst our current participating groups, Bluebonnet Equine Humane Society, Crosswinds Equine Rescue, Sunkissed Acres and True Innocents Equine Rescue (TIER). Our goal is to award a check for $1000 to each of our groups and based on last year’s successful event we hope we can surpass that amount!
Thank you all again for being an important part of www.SpecialHorses.org and for helping our wonderful organizations help equines in need!
