Senior Horses in Competition;
“Show Some Love” and Share Your Story
Now that the 2017 horse show
season is coming to an end,
equineseniors.com wants to hear
about equine senior horses that
successfully competed throughout
the year. It’s part of the website’s
“Show Some Love” campaign,
which helps to promote the use of
horses in the show pen well into
their upper senior years.
“We know that there are many
senior horses that are still at the top
of their game and we want to hear
about them,” says Laurie Cerny,
editor of www.equineseniors.com.
“Our hope is that these stories will
help to inspire others to continue to
show their senior horses, instead of
retiring them.”
Cerny, herself, has successfully
shown two Quarter Horses into
their upper senior years. Her cur-
rent show mare is 17 and has been
a top winner on her state’s ABRA,
IBHA, and ARHA circuits, as well
as at several world shows.
“The show industry is very youth
oriented when it comes to horses –
especially in halter classes,” Cerny
says. “We hope these stories will
help to change that attitude.”
Stories submitted will be featured
on the website. In addition, they
will be put into a drawing that in-
cludes a “Show Some Love” t-shirt
and $100 worth of senior horse
products.
To be eligible the senior horse
must be 15 years, or older, and en-
trants must write bet ween 300-500
words – telling about their show
season (shows, circuits show, and
results). Along with the submis-
sion, include a valid email address,
and phone number. In addition,
a photo should be emailed in with
the submission to equineseniors@
aol.com.
Postal submissions will also be
accepted and should be mailed
to: Equine Seniors at 70883 39th
Street, Paw Paw, MI 49079.
The deadline for submitting sto-
ries is January 15, 2018.
www.equineseniors.com is de-
voted to the care and competition
of equine senior horses. Find more
articles and resources on caring for
the senior horse, as well as product
