Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!

I hope everyone enjoyed the contest as much as I did.  So without further ado, here are the final standings.  PS I did have a couple mistakes on the dressage listings, that I corrected.  And I quadruple checked these (and ran them by someone else, since I obviously can't be trusted not to make mistakes).

1)  Kaity (Riding Warehouse Gift Card)
2)  Leah Strid (If The Bonnet Fits)
3)  Codex Dressage  (Dark Jewel Designs)
4)  L Williams
5)  Stephanie Hammer
6)  Love Laugh Ride
7)  A Pitts
8)  Olivia
9)  Jules At The Barn
10)  Bee Tea
11)  $900 FB Pony
12)  Carly
13)  A Gift Horse
14)  SarahO  (EDA Designs)

In addition to the top three and last winning prizes, I also had a prize for the most eliminated and for sharing the contest.  I think originally I had it listed as most falls, but that was too hard for me to keep track of so I just went with eliminated/withdrew.

A Gift Horse won the most eliminated/withdrew with her teams losing 7 riders (I sent you an email).  Finally, Olivia won the random draw for sharing.  I will be getting your prizes organized and sent out ASAP.

Stinker was sad I didn't let him play.

I want to thank everyone who participated, because this was really fun for me.  And I watched the teams with a lot more interest than I had in the past.  If you have any suggestions on how to change/improve things I would love to hear them, because I am already toying with some ideas for the future.

    Great contest!! (And I'm not just saying that because I'm over the moon excited about my fancy new bonnet 😉 haha).

    This really actually made me pay a lot more attention to the results than usual! Normally I would just pay attention to dressage, and even then just usually the US and GB. This year I actually watched as much of the coverage as I could and was way more invested! I was on pins and needles by the time show jumping rolled around and when I saw the announcement Beezie withdrew I was crushed. (Good for her for doing right by her horse obviously but I was worried about how it might affect medals haha). Really fun contest!!

      Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. I was seriously questioning why included show jumping at one point because I couldn't figure out how it ran. But now I know!

    I think this is one of my favourite blog contests! Enough action to keep it interesting, great prizes and no pain (Two-pointober is looming way too close)

      Yay! I'm glad you enjoyed it. The two-pointober sounds very painful.

      Also, maybe add in some individual guesses too. More chances to get it right (or to screw it up)

      Haha! Who doesn't want to win things? I figured that the promise of fun prizes would lessen the sting of defeat (either that or just be a horrible reminder). :)

    This was such a fantastic contest, thank you so much for setting it up!!! I need to go into a new career of randomly guessing horse-related things, apparently. And my new Majyk Equipe tendon boots (paid for in part by the gift card) should be here on Monday! :D

      I'm crossing my fingers that they fit! My trainer's horse size Eskadrons were too big for Leo, but a friend's cob size Professional Choice boots are a smidge too small. The measurements sound like they should work, we shall see!

    Thanks for hosting. It was a lot of fun. This is the first year I remember watching so much of the equestrian Olympics. I'm excited for my prize!
