Photo Caption Winners!

It was hard to judge the photo caption contest! It took me all weekend! I loved everyone's humorous entries, you really showed that you know my stinker boy so well! C-ingspots had me humming the Monkey's tune every time I read through them! But after much deliberation.....congratulations, Julie in Alaska! I chose Julie's "horsey psychobabble" entry. I thought this seemed a perfect fit for this pony girl, as I have a psychology degree and tend to have an over analytical approach to horse ownership. Goodness, yes, I think that I am the one that needs to get out of my head and just be a fun-loving horse owner again!



Here's the winning caption:

I've found myself more and more reflective, even introspective, lately.

What a minute, what am I saying? What am I thinking?

I need to get out of my head more and just enjoy being me -- a horse! Just stayed focused on the moment, Spot!

Realizing that not everyone might celebrate Christmas or does a tree, I opted for a wall hanging as the winning prize over a tree ornament. This antiqued wooden "Cowgirl" sign with a braided leather strap was too cute to pass up, and would look great in the tack room or the office. Of course, I bought one for myself, too! Julie, send me an email at ponygirlridesagain@gmail.com so that I can get your mailing information!

Now, a special announcement, I have a runner up, in the 8 and under division! My 8 year old second cousin Hailey had a very creative entry:

Ooh, here comes my special rider that gives me everything.

What, you're not going to play with me. I'm gonna go country style on you!

I mean it. Play with me!

I loved her phrase "go country style on you!" I see a future cowgirl blogger in the making! Miss Hailey, I have a special prize for you, too! I will get it in the mail this week. I also have a huge stack of horse magazines to bring your way when I come to visit the family in November. You're never too young to start pouring over the pages of horsey magazines and start dreaming!

Thanks for playing, everyone. I hope to have another contest again soon!
