82 SIDELINES OCTOBER 2013
FOR HORSE PEOPLE • ABOUT HORSE PEOPLE
I
n honor of our art issue,
Sidelines
Magazine
and Shapley’s teamed up to provide a contest
in which we could celebrate our horses’ version
of art – muddy, messy body art! The Dirty Horse
& Pony contest was a great hit – with amazing
photos of horses covered from ear to hoof in mud!
So much mud, in fact, we confused some of the
horses for hippos! On these pages you will find our
winner, three runner-ups and several honorable
mentions – a great group of muddy equines!
Thanks to Shapley’s Superior Equine Grooming
Products for sponsoring the contest and providing
our winners with grooming products to help their
horses become clean and shiny again.
Muddy, Messy Horse “Art”
e
Dirty Horse & Pony Contest
Winner –
Julie Sankar, from Baton Rouge, Louisiana
Julie says this was her filly Tanit’s first turn out after she came
off the track. “She was perfectly happy jumping the puddle until
a bad influence showed her how to wallow,” said Julie. “Three
baths later, it was still in her ears.” By sheer popularity of this
entry, it was a shoe-in to win! In a matter of hours, this photo
went viral – with more than 100 shares and nearly 400 “likes”
on Facebook!
