TheHorseStudio.com Annual " Jump Into Spring " contest begins March 15th, 2010. With fourteen inches of snow on the ground and more falling it's hard to believe that Spring is just around the corner but our Facebook fans report that even in Colorado the "mud season" has begun and in Alaska it's warmer than here in New York. So we are hopeful that grass will soon spring into action!

The prizes this year include our bestseller Degas bridle, from TheHorseStudio.com "Masters" line of bridlewear, beautiful high end grooming brushes made by Champion/Hill of the U.K., original equine design notecards from our resident artist/writer/photographer Nikki Alvin-Smith, leather leadshanks and more 'surprises' which will be posted throughout the competition.

To enter simply register at our store, then drop us an email at PRMarketing@TheHorseStudio.com sharing with us the moment when you first remember falling in love with horses. We are looking for a short story which we will publish at http://www.TheHorseStudio.com. No word limit. The winner will be voted on by TheHorseStudio.com Team on April 15th, 2010. We are looking for a well written story with strong content but it doesn't have to be a long article.
All entrants will need to provide to us a copyright release for their story.

" The success of our ever expanding store is due in no small part to the loyal clientele that return again and again. As TheHorseStudio.com family grows, we are looking forward to sharing everything 'horse' with our registered clients with expanded podcasts, video downloads, webinars and clinics. As a multi discipline Western and English tack store we are thrilled to be able to give back in part of our 2010 'givebackpayitforward' program of clinics, programs and competitions. There are lots of free giveaways and easy to enter contests weekly on our facebook page TheHorseStudio.com in addition to this annual special 'Jump Into Spring' event," says Kathy Collins, Sales Manager.

All details of the competition will be available on site March 5th, 2010. Contest is void where prohibited by law.
