Dang, Horse Nation, you guys can take a good photo.

When we called for “things to get a little artistic” for this week’s Absorbine 24-hour photo challenge, we had no idea we were in for such a treat: we wanted to see your silhouette images of your horses, and you delivered some of the loveliest photos we’ve ever seen for our 24-hour challenges!

We’re also pleased to announce that Absorbine is awarding a prize package to one randomly-selected finalist from this week’s collection of images! This week’s winner is …

Stitch is one of the OTTB’s at the barn where my daughter rides and volunteers. She’s retired now, living her sunset years in the high pasture where she can be Queen of all she surveys. #horsenation #silhouette @squarepegfoundation
