Over the past five months the I Love Canadian Harness Racing Fan Club has received many exciting photos for the Zoom Photography Challenge. September will mark the sixth and final challenge of the year which is why we decided to bring back our most popular theme yet -- ‘Meet My Horse.’

The ‘Meet My Horse’ theme is as fun as it sounds! We want to see photos of you and your Standardbred horse. We are asking for photos of you and your horse jogging, training, racing, hanging out in the stall, posing in the winner’s circle, under saddle or doing any other activity that shows off you and your horse. All in all, we want to see a photo that includes you with your horse which means someone else should take the photo for you -- unless it’s a selfie of course!

To learn more about each photo we are asking that each photo submission includes a description about what your horse means to you in 50 words or LESS. Please include your horse’s name with your entry and description.

Please note that photos must be taken during the contest period. Only two photo submissions per person will be eligible.

E-mail all photo submissions to [email protected] by September 30 at 5:00 p.m. (EST).
