CONTEST! Sponsored by Majyk Equipe and Riding Warehouse

Time for a contest!

In honor of National Dressage Pony Cup being this week, Majyk Equipe and Riding Warehouse have agreed to sponsor a contest, and the prizes are amazing.  First, the goods:

Prize #1: a complete front and hind set of medium sized generation 2 Majyk Equipe XC boots.  No worries if you're not an eventer, they're great for flatting too (just ask Amanda, who schools all three phases in hers!)  Check out my review of them here and here.
Fronts

Hinds

Prize #2: an amazing prize pack from Riding Warehouse!  They really outdid themselves.  The prize pack contains:

  • A Riding Warehouse reusable shopping bag
  • A $25 RW gift card
  • A container of Uncle Jimmy's Squeezy Buns horse treats
  • A 12 pack of tack sponges
  • A Mrs. Conn's Bath Day Shampoo Sponge
  • A jar of Higher Standards Leather Care saddle soap, Fox's Lavender Vanilla scent
  • A pair of RW boot socks
  • A RW t-shirt (and can we talk about how the new RW shirts are Next Level brand? My husband won't wear anything else, they're super soft and break in even softer over time)
  • A RW sticker
  • A blue "magic brush"
  • RW vanilla lip balm
  • A 20% off coupon to RW (not pictured)

How to enter: Guess how many times Connor gets mistaken for a Haflinger at National Dressage Pony Cup! Leave a comment before 11:59pm Eastern time Thursday evening (July 6) with your guess on how many times Connor will get mistaken for a Haflinger.  We'll be there for three days.  Please make sure you don't comment as anonymous so I know who to contact for prizes!

"Seriously, I'm not a Haflinger guys."

Things I'm going to count:
- Anytime anyone says something like "Oh what a cute Haflinger"/"I love your Haflinger"/"Is that a Haflinger?"
- Anytime anyone asks what breed he is and then follows it up with "Oh really?  I thought he was a Haflinger."

How to win: If more than one person has the correct answer, I'll do a random draw between them for who gets first choice of prize and who gets second.  If nobody guesses exactly right, the closest and second closest guesses will win.  

Good luck!

julesatthebarn said...

I'm guessing 13. Have fun this week :)

D. Arcy said...

25!

TrainwreckInTeal said...

Those are AMAZING prizes. Ooooh three days? My guess is 15. Good luck and kick some butt! 😁

NDchick1 said...

So fun! Y'all have a great time!
For 3 days, I think Connor will be accused (eh, that is kind of harsh, Halfies are pretty adorbs too!) of being a Haflinger 18 times per your rules. Good luck!

emma said...

medium MEs probably won't work for me, but who knows. it's a fun contest: i'm gonna low-ball it at 4

Jen said...

Yeah, medium hinds will be iffy on some full-sized horses. I figured whoever won them could decide if they worked or not, and only take the fronts or hinds if one set didn't work (medium fronts will work for most average sized horses).

Olivia @ DIY Horse Ownership said...

I'm hoisting guess 7. Have fun!

J. Alexander (Stone Song Saddlery) said...

I think it will happen 17 times.

outofashes said...

I'm going to go with 9

Anne said...

I'm going with 11. Have fun and good luck!

Piccolopony said...

I'd say 13 but since someone already picked that I'll go with 14

SarahW said...

Aaww, this is fun one!

After much consideration, I'm going with 8. Final answer.

wanderingpaws said...

I think 22 times. Good luck Connor!!!!!!

Figure said...

Haha! We get "Icelandic" or "Fjord" once a month.. so.. over three days, with possibly decreasing numbers each day, I'm guessing 19.
I think it really depends how much you'll be around him!

Nicole said...

Twelve. It's my fave guessing number. Go little haffie, go!!

Sara said...

Fun contest! I'll go with 10! Have fun!

Tony the Pony said...

I'm going with 16! Good luck and have fun!!

Betsy in WI said...

B has already been a Clydesdale twice this past week, and a TB once. My favorites are the people that wont leave it and are like "are you SURE your pony isn't that breed?" Um yes, yes I'm sure, do you need to see the paperwork? 3 is a very low number, but it looks like it's free, so that's my pick.

Jen said...

Lol, Clydesdale! My favorite was when Connor was the Welsh Cob breed ambassador at the (heavily skewed toward Western) Hoosier Horse Fair. He got "Mustang" so many times! (Because of the hair).

Allison @ Pony Reboot said...

I'm guessing 15 times 😊

Alanna S. said...

10!

Anonymous said...

I am guessing 6!

Lynn said...

6!

Jess said...

I'm gonna say 7!

Calm, Forward, Straight said...

I'll take 8 also...
Have fun!! :D

Jess said...

I'm going to say 3...

Heidi said...

All the numbers I was going to guess are taken, but I will say 14. Good luck and have fun!

Carly said...

LOL, poor Connor. I'm going to guess only 3.

Stanthehorse said...

I'm guessing 7. Stella gets Connemara cross a bunch which is actually flattering.

Erika said...

I'm guessing 8 :) I am all too familiar with the breed toss-up, but I get a lot of people telling me he's definitely part Morgan. Umm... no. Good luck at Pony Cup! And may the best pony win (Connor).

Nicole said...

Hm, I am guessing 7. Hopefully less than that actually. I was surprised someone actually knew Roscoe was a Cob at the last show. GOOD LUCK!!!

Jen said...

I hope less too, but you never know. This part of the country is verrrrrry unlikely to have heard of Welsh Cobs compared to the East Coast, unfortunately!

Catie said...

I'm going to call it an even dozen, four times a day!

Codex Dressage said...

I'm guessing 5!

SprinklerBandit said...

I'm going with 4.

Niamh said...

I'm going with 11!!!! Good luck and have fun!!!

TBA said...

I'm going to guess 12!

AnEnglishRider said...

I'll guess 13. It'a not that crazy a breed comparison to make, given his feathers and coloring 😂

Rhiannon said...

13 times

kaity said...

7! Good luck!!

kaity said...

7! Good luck!!

redheadlins said...

So excited for your adventure! I can't decide if I should go extremely low or high.... let's say 19 times, go big or go home! Have fun!

Alli + Dino said...

I'm gonna go for 6, even though tiny pony legs won't fit in those boots; I can always give them away to someone! :)

Unknown said...

It looks like 17 is available. Hope that is way high.

LoveLaughRide said...

I'm going with 8.

arteriole said...

LOL - super fun :) I'm gonna guess 4 per day, so 12 :)

Unknown said...

I'm going SUPER low and gonna say 2 ... let me know after the first hour that I'm out of the running lol

TheFoxRider said...

Hmmm... I'm trying to decide how chatty you are at shows because those prizes are AMAZING! I'm going to say.... 9. Hopefully there is a small brigade of nosy ass comment-y people who can help me earn a prize... and learn something new in the process!

Megan said...

I'm going to guess 12 times. I still have to remind myself that Connor is not a Haflinger.

L.Williams said...

I'm going to go with my lucky number - 14! Have fun!

Unknown said...

It looks like 17 is available. Hope that is way high.

Karen said...
