One lucky fan will win a free year of road service from EquiPass. To be eligible, the winner must be an AQHA member and be a resident of U.S. or Canada.

We have a winner! Your pick will grace the cover of the October 2010 America’s Horse magazine.
A million thanks to go all voters! “Swing Low,” depicting a ranch cowboy going for the heels of a Hereford, is the winner. This oil painting is by Edgar Sotelo, who grew up in Mexico drawing cowboys and Indians and today strives for a honorable portrayal of the western lifestyle. And to the art afficianados out there – the original of this newly minted cover is still available for purchase in the America’s Horse in Art Show & Sale for $750.
The America’s Horse in Art sale benefits the American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame & Museum in Amarillo and its efforts to preserve the history of our breed.
While we love Edgar’s art, there really weren’t any losers in this case. Both of the runners-up, artwork by Jan Mapes and Dyrk Godby, were popular with our readers. Because of the great interest in all three artists, we’ll try to feature all of them in upcoming issues of America’s Horse.
Remember, to see the winner – the fans’ choice – in print, you have to be an AQHA member. America’s Horse magazine goes to all AQHA members 10 times a year, and it’ll give you the low-down on Association news, plus human-interest features, horse training how-to’s and more!
Watch each weekday in May for a post from AQHA with the word “Wrangler” in it.
Be one of the first 10 people to comment on the post, and you’ll be entered to win. (You can’t just “like” it; You gotta make a comment directly to the AQHA post containing the word “Wrangler.”)
Each Friday in May, we’ll pick one winner from the names entered during that week.
It’s easy, but you have to pay attention!
Enter as many times as you can each week to increase your chances.
Mary offers directions for making your own pair of boot bookends:
These bookends are easy to make and a great project for kids!
Just fill them with plaster, and let them dry. Then cut two peices of wood (old barn wood looks pretty) and glue them together to make a bookend shape. Then glue or screw your boots to the wood.
Show us a great way to re-use old boots, and you’ll get a chance at a new pair of Justin boots!
These could be yours! Enter the April Facebook contest today!
