Win a Painted Pony!
Wednesday, May 14 2014
The Prairie Princess Win a Painted Pony!! Sidelines Magazine has teamed up with The Trail of Painted Ponies to give you a chance to win a Painted Pony of your own!! You could win the Prairie Princess. According to The Trail of Painted Ponies website, “This Painted Pony, a co-creation of Pop Artist Howie Green and TV legend Alison Arngrim, whose portrayal of Nellie Oleson on “Little House on the Prairie” was so iconic she was named as the #1 female villain in TV history, is a tribute to the ladies who made their homes on the prairies of America in the 1800s. Those women were tough and sturdy to be sure, but always welcomed a little touch of color, and some decorative trim along a dress seam or a pink bow on their bonnets.” Just send us in a photo of your pony (no professional images please!) for a chance to win! Everyone is allowed ONE entry
