HORSE NATION

Yesterday, when HN and SmartPak announced an “Equine Planking Contest,” I had no idea we’d get such an enthusiastic response. You guys sure know how to plank. Keep those entries coming! Complete contest details here.

A friendly reminder from the editor: As we used to say in Vietnam, kids–if you’re gonna do something dumb, at least wear your helmet while you’re doing it.

Here’s our first wave of contestants: Enjoy!

Notes: “Bonus points for planking on a 18hh horse (Veritas). I always wear a helmet and had a borrowed one two sizes too small on this day, which I removed seconds prior to dismounting (when photo was taken).”
