  • I entered the glamor shot and when i hit submit it showed that my horse was a saddlebred and she is a qh so i resubmited her photo to change it can you delete the other one i dont want you to think i ment to enter two photos thanks

  • Can I enter more than one contest like best western, glamour, best pasture ornament and funniest face? Or just one of those? Am I only allowed to enter one horse for all of them? Or can I enter one horse in one contest and another horse in another or both horses in the same contest?

  • Well I uploaded the wrong section I apologize
    Prowlers photo was suppose to go under western

  • Hey! I love your site! Lots of useful info! Umm, I didn't read all of your rules before I entered because I was in a hurry, and i voted for a horse multiple times today. I'm sorry. I just now read the rules.. lol. But anyway, sorry. And again I LOVE your site!

  • I entered my horse in the glamour contest along with a few other ones, is that allowed? If it isn't I'm sorry about doing that!
