Book Embargo

Now, I don’t usually win contests and the like. If there is one entry, and that is me, usually there is a freak incident and someone else wins.

NOT TODAY!!!!
(by today I mean yesterday since it is now after midnight and I am still rolling with excitement).

I bought a pair of men’s riding pants from www.EquestrianCollections.com (thats plural) for my brother. I got on their email list, and while I don’t have the disposable income to buy as much of the riding clothes as I’d like, I still wanted to stay up on the trends and sales.

One day in the email was an entry for a contest. It was for larger riders to talk about their riding and showing clothes. The grand prize was a $250 gift certificate to the site. OH! The things I could get for $250!

So I entered. I talked about how it is hard to find riding pants higher than a 34 inch. And how women are not all bigger in the SAME PLACES. Some are top heavy, some are bottom heavy, yeah, it varies.
I sent off a picture of me and Wyatt from a show 2 years ago (I had updated my showing clothes since then which I included information about in the entry)… (actually I think I included 3 pictures, for variety), and off I went. Did not really think about it again.
This was the picture I submitted:

Secondary photos included:

and

Generally showing that even without necessarily good-fitting clothes, I had a great time.

So yeah, I got a call today. I AM THE WINNER!!!
So head over to http://www.equestriancollections.com/ and look on the front page. Does that photo look familiar?

oh yeah. So today was a VERY excellent day

The description from their website about their plus-sized clothing:

About 1824 Plus Sizes

1824 was created over 10 years ago to bring equestrian riding apparel to the plus sized woman rider. Up to that point, women had to shop the men’s department to find products that would fit.

1824 was an instant success from its launch, bringing equestrian apparel in sizes 18-24 for schooling and showing English style. With it too came the No Bounce Guaranteed sports bra, which you can find on Equestrian Collections under the brand name of Enell.

Thank you to all our manufacturers who work with us to bring you this collection – TuffRider, Wellington, EQ Rider, Irideon, Enell, Moving Comfort and RJ Classics to name just a few.

So a BIG thank you to Equestrian Collections.com. I am definitely a thankful and happy winner, and will continue to be a happy shopper!!!!
