Happy Holidays Photo Contest

[Pasogirlz]

You guessed it! It's the holiday season and it's time to get in the mood. The next contest will be very general and only have one main theme....Christmas/Hannaka/New Years.

You MAY use pix that you have used in previous contests so long as they were not WINNING photos.

I wanna see things like ppl or animals in holiday costumes or basically anything that reminds us of the holidays....like a scene from a Christmas card. So there is lots of room for creativity here so go for it.

Remember the photos are going into a beautiful magazine, so try to choose photos that are clear, centered, and w/o a lot of unnecessary background.

Good luck!

I have waited a whole year for this!!!!!

Oh Erin, that is absolutely precious!!! :D

[Pasogirlz]

I'd call that one..."Santa's Helpers"!


Forgot to mention...you may enter more than one photo.

I will be moving this thread to the contest corral after a while, but I will keep it here in GCC for now so everyone sees it. ;-)

I have many pictures of the horses in snow. These are Judi Bradbury's horses in Rush Valley...a lot of Hilaches lines in this pasture.

I'm going with to take some pics too!! No snow here so I'll have to improvise...somehow

[Blameitonbrio]

Here is our Christmas card picture from last year. Grayson (Nisharox) and Bailey posed on Nisha, an Arabian mare. What they didn't know was that we had already bought Nisha for their Christmas present. We had them pose on Nisha instead of Mack and told the girls that she would be more photogenic for a Christmas card!

This picture is a couple years old. Obviously, we didn't have all the snow we have now. But this is Uno de Vez getting in the holiday spirit. Probably thinking of all the mares for the possibility of getting close to some of the mares in spring time!

CONGRATS!!! All the pictures were wonderful

[LynnG]

Lori, do you need the hi-res pic sent to you? Mine wasn't labeled..red winter coat, snow and dark bay filly with star! ...LynnG

That is a very pretty filly I bred and raised..... Zena de Gracia!
1999 filly by Indio de Ensueno x Isabel de Intocable.

I miss her as her dam is deceased and Isabel had an incredible disposition. The owner I sold her to in 2000 has been AWOL ..never been back in contact since she picked her up and papers are still listed in my name, even after repeated attempts on my part. Makes me sad as I feel something must have happened to Zena (and maybe even the buyer) after she picked her up as for her papers not to have been transfered. :cry: :cry: :(

[Pasogirlz]

If you have the high res pix, send it fordlori320@aol.com
