Congratulations to Marie-Josee Bériault on winning our second Zoom Challenge of the year! This past month’s challenge for our Fan Club members was to take and submit photos of mares and foals to usher in Spring with style.
Marie is a groom for Kinnder Farm in Les Cedres, Quebec, where she captured the winning shot. Featured in the photo are Alexie Power and her foal Kinnder Chill, by Justice Hall. Denitza Petrova owns the photogenic pair.

PHOTOBOMBERS FOR JUNE ZOOM – GET SNAPPIN!
Our June Zoom Challenge theme is photobombers. That’s right, we want evidence of those Kodak moments interrupted by photobombers.
For anyone who needs clarification on what a Photobomber is, here’s the definition we’re going with:
Someone or something that messes up other people’s photos. You know when you’ve framed that perfect image of your horse and someone walks in front of you, or you’re taking a shot of some friends posing and some one runs in behind and makes a weird face. These people are “Photobombers”.
We’ve also got some examples for you:
So, we want to see photobombers in action in harness racing. Get your best troll faces on people!
Get out there and get snappin’ for your chance to win some great prizes!
Send your photos to [email protected]. The deadline to enter is Monday, June 16.
