Voting will continue through August 29, 2012. You may vote once a day, every day, to increase your chances to win.

“The voting period is a great time for equestrians to show support of each other as they strive for ‘medals’ in this contest,” said Equine Network Editorial Director Cathy Laws. “It’s an opportunity to acknowledge the hard work that goes into having horses every day—and to have a little fun while doing so!”
