Happy late summer, HaJ friends, and welcome to my August contest!

Who can Enter?
Anyone, regardless of player age, can enter this contest! The entry form is commented below.

How it Works:
This contest is based on a list of 31 trivia questions (one for each day of August). They are all horse related. Some pertain to real life, and others pertain to Hunt and Jump. Each day, whoever answered that day's question correctly will get a DAILY PRIZE. If there are multiple players who answered the question correctly, I will break the tie using a random number generator. One predetermined question has a BONUS PRIZE attached to be awarded to that day's winner. At the end of August, I will score all responses and the winner will receive the GRAND PRIZE.
The various search functions, the FAQ, and the Genetics Guide might be helpful ;)

Prizes (Please PM me if you would like to donate a prize)
Daily prizes - hbs, show ponies, or straws (I or the prize donor will choose daily prizes) @pestilenttempest has offered one guaranteed straw to every daily winner. Thank you!
Bonus prize - B-)
Grand prize - a 1000 stall barn

How to Enter:
