Congratulations to Cassidy Schneider of Arthur, Ont., who is the winner of the September Zoom Photography Challenge featuring the ‘Meet My Horse’ theme.

Cassidy’s winning shot was a selfie of her posing with her eight-year-old gelding Reb The Raider! Schneider has owned Reb for three years and has been involved with harness racing her entire life. She lives on a farm with her family and keeps busy helping out jogging and paddocking.

“He means so much to me because he’s always doing silly things for pictures; he’s such a nice horse to work around and he always tries when he races,” Cassidy explained.

Congrats to Cassidy who has won a $50 Fan Club prize package, and thank you to our other finalists:

Photo 3: Dawn Ellis of Truro, N.S., for her photo of herself with her pacer Watersides Kipper, aka Skipper, getting ready to go outside for a stroll.

Photo 5: Jennifer Clark of Ponoka, Alta., for her photo of herself with her horse Legs Like Tina before their last race at Century Downs.
