Last week we asked you to show us your cross country style for a chance to win a custom ear bonnet and saddle pad set from our friends at E.A. Mattes and World Equestrian Brands, and you delivered! We received nearly 700 entries, and oh to be a fly on the wall when EN’s committee of chinchillas narrowed it down to their top 15. Let’s just say, things got heated!
The winner will receive a Couture Ear Bonnet and Platinum Collection Quilt Only Pad in Jump Eurofit or All-Purpose Square. Photo courtesy of E.A. Mattes / World Equestrian Brands.
Now it’s time to put the top 15 to a vote! Check out these photos and cast your vote in the poll below. Many thanks to everyone who submitted an entry — we loved seeing ALL your fabulous styles!
