We received so many crazy good captions for the "Caption It" contest presented by Devoucoux, we definitely had to do a poll to figure out who the winners should be.

Here's how we're going to roll with it, under each photo, help us out and rate your favorite caption for that photo. Four winners will be chosen to win a signed Devoucoux shirt by the top rated caption for each photo so let the games begin!

Name this bum!

Since you all were so inquisitive with our last quiz contest... here's another!

The theme of our quiz contest is "name that bum" in light of the next sponsor prize. EN sponsor, Tredstep Ireland, wants to reward the first person who can guess the Rolex Kentucky Rider who owns this photo-worthy rear.

Carefully review the photo and enter the contest by telling us who is pictured in the photo in the comment section below. The first person to guess correctly wins! Please give us your email in your comment so we can contact you! 

What's up for grabs? A pair of the brand NEW Symphony Breeches by Tredstep Ireland and their Futura Sport Top! Also don't forget to stop by the Bit of Britain tent to visit Tredstep Ireland at Rolex Kentucky!

It's day 5 of Contest Week here on EN and also that means it's also CROSS COUNTRY DAY!

Luckily, we've had two full days to photo bomb all of your favorite riders and as I'm sure you've been stalking their placings online, we've been stalking them with a camera, and that makes for some pretty great EN fun and an even better contest brought to you by Devoucoux Saddles.

Here is your next task: simply write a caption for one of the photos below and title it by the rider's name i.e. William Fox Pitt, Boyd Martin,  Boyd and Clayton or Andrew Nicholson.

Please, don't hold back and we welcome creativity! The Chinchillas will pick the funniest four (4) entries on Monday at midnight. Please include your email in the caption so we can contact you!

The winners will win this awesome, special edition, Devoucoux shirt (you know the ones you always see the riders rocking around horse shows and you're like "dang! I want that!" ?) !

Day two of dressage is upon us which also marks the fourth day of EN's annual Rolex Kentucky Contest Week. I must say our generous EN sponsors have really been pulling out the big guns to award our readers with some really cool prizes, and the next sponsor will not disappoint!

For our next contest, we are going to ask you all to play EN photographer for a day. I mean... who doesn't want to be a chinchilla?

But despite just getting to act like a super cute, fuzzy rodent we challenge you to snap some cross country photos of riders wearing the new Eventer Pro 3015! The following riders have opted to ride around Rolex Kentucky wearing the new vest: Jessica Phoenix, Robert Meyerhoff, Lindsay Oaks, Maddie Blackman, Kendal Lehari,  Lynn Symanski, Daniel Clasing, and Shandis McDonald.

So, tomorrow on cross country day, look out for these 9 riders and have your camera ready. Snap a picture of at least one of these riders while out on cross country and send it to en.contest@gmail.com with "Snap That" as the title.

Tipperary will also be looking to use some photos taken by our readers for future promos and advertising campaigns so the pressure's on to get some great shots! But iPhone quality will still be accepted to enter the contest .

Submissions must be sent in to en.contest@gmail.com by 8 a.m. Sunday morning and the winner will be randomly chosen to receive an Eventer Pro vest of their own! Please one submission per person.

The new Eventer Pro 3015 has an improved anatomical fit-mobility with patent pending EVOLUTION FOAM^TM that conforms to each individual athletes body shape and size. The foams construction allows for air return circulation, cooling the body in high temperatures with specialized antibacterial agents that prevent the vest from odor build up. A new design pattern of double layer TECTONIC^TM foam plating moves and flexes with the rider without any separation or gapping. This plating works in conjunction with the LIVE SPINE^TMconstruction which provides increased impact protection while moving, flexing and mimicking the athletes movements. Vertical flex bars on the front and back of the vest provide a more customized fit along with a FLEX LACE^TM closure and torso cut that allows the vest to expand and contract with the athletes movements while offering easy quick fit adjustment with draw string and added side flap protection. Additional reflective piping is included in the vest for added safety and visibility for riders training on the road or in low light situations. Over all the look of the Eventer Pro^TM is esthetically pleasing, it combines functionality with comfort and complements the riders performance.
