Don’t be like Sad Dog.
Eventing Nation has teamed up with sponsor Point Two to outfit one lucky reader with a brand new Point Two air vest! The question is: How bad do you really want it?
It’s time to pull out the duck tape, baling twine and… bubble wrap? Because Point Two would like you to make your own vest!
We welcome (and suggest) creativity, savviness, and overall skills in this competition. Make your vest and send a photo to [email protected] by midnight Wednesday, June 26 to be entered in the contest. The best vests will then be up for a reader poll where a winner will be ultimately chosen.

SmartPak Product of the Day: Like my eventers, I tend to gravitate toward horses that are one fry short of a Happy Meal–if you know what I mean. But while a little extra enthusiasm can be delightful when you’re galloping cross-country, during a dressage lesson… not so much. SmartCalm Ultra is an herb-free formula designed to support proper nervous system function, helping to minimize skittishness. [SmartPak]
