Our
readers love their horses, and it shows!
We were
inundated with
heartwarming, creative poems from readers of all ages, making it very
difficult for our judges to choose the winners! Just in time for
Valentine’s Day, we are pleased to announce the results of our
Horse-of-My-Heart Poetry Contest.
The first place
winner in each category will receive a beautiful hardcover edition of Barbaro, The Horse Who Captured America’s
Heart,
by renowned equine author Sean Clancy. All winners and runners-up will
also receive a two-year subscription to our national
publication, The Canadian Horse Journal.
Thanks to all
the talented equine poets who entered!
