Congratulations to the Sidelines “Who’s Your Daddy” Foal Photo Winners
Tuesday, November 27 2012
By Jan Westmark-Allan One of my favorite photos in the foal photo contest – little Autumn with her not-so-little ears!! Adorable! I loved every single photo that was sent in for our Sidelines Magazine “Who’s Your Daddy” Foal Photo contest – and, all I can say, is that I am glad I wasn’t a judge!! I wanted everyone to win! Odd, I never was one of those parents who thought all the kids should get a trophy or a ribbon while competing on the horse show circuit – but when it comes to our Sidelines contests – I want EVERYONE to win! Let’s face it – the foal photos were amazing – cute, cuddly, fuzzy, adorable, precious, darling, (if I got out a Thesaurus I could probably keep going!) – I loved them all. I want to thank our panel of judges who had the tough job – and the sponsors for providing prizes for this contest.
