Congrats to student’s desk for winning our Ecogold photo contest, and a set of four indestructable Ecogold XC boots. This contest started on EN, as all good things do, when an eventer sitting behind a desk at her “day job” decided to send me an email. Thanks for the idea LisaB, thanks to our contestants for the great submissions, and thanks to Ecogold for their great support of Eventing Nation. Your winning photo and explanation:
Student’s Desk
This photograph is of my desk at Governor’s School at Virginia Tech. While other students brought pictures of their family and friends I have images of the horses in my life and a baseball cap with the logo of the barn where I train. On my computer screen is the research paper I am supposed to be writing, on perennial grasses as a source of biofuel, but next to the word document is the eventingnation website. I have been away from horses for three weeks (I return home this coming weekend) and I miss it so much. However, thanks to my photographs I am able to look at “my babies” whenever I want, and somehow due to this I have managed to maintain a small bit of sanity.

**Update: I spoke with ‘Student’s Desk’ and she said that she happily survived Governor’s school and is once again at home at the barn.
