The Winner! Christmas Jingle Contest Presented by Point Two

The Point Two Pro Air The Point Two Pro Air

Holy jingle bells, EN! We received more than 123 entries in the Christmas Jingle Contest Presented by Point Two, and my Mom helped me read each and every entry this morning as we judged the contest. Many of the entries really stood out to us, but one entry in particular went above and beyond the call of duty. Not only did this contestant come up with a fun Christmas jingle about Hawley Bennett-Awad and Gin N’ Juice’s trip to the 2012 Olympic Games, but she also sang it and sent us the video. Without further ado, the lucky winner of a brand new Point Two Pro Air Vest valued at $675 is Lindsay Long! Check out her winning entry here:

Congrats, Lindsay! Thanks to your mad dressage Christmas jingle skillz, you win a brand new air vest courtesy of Point Two! Thanks to our awesome sponsor Point Two for partnering with us on this contest, and thanks to all 123 EN readers who entered. We’ll definitely have to reprise this contest next year! And for a little extra Christmas cheer, here are some of the honorable mention entries that made us laugh:

From NC Country Boy:

Grandma got run over by a Thoroughbred
Walking home from my barn Christmas Eve.
You can say that horses don’t see demons
But as for me and my farrier, we believe

Good thing she’d been drinking all that eggnog
All she ended up was a little black and blue
If she’d been wearing a vest made by Point Two
She wouldn’t be sporting a bruise shaped like a horses shoe

From Chris Allen:

Crashing through the show,
on a Craigslist runaway
Over the course we go,
until we parted ways.
Now my body stings
seeing stars so bright
Oh I hope that Santa brings
A Point Two vest tonight!

From Carol Riegel:

Oh the weather outside is rideable
But my horse is feeling spiteful
And since he’d rather be at home,
Chances are that I will get thrown

Oh he doesn’t show signs of stopping
And since he’s prone to bucking
The hospital’s the place I’ll go
Tell him whoa
Tell him whoa
Tell him whoa!

Oh..the Dr. said I need some bed rest
And when I ride, wear the Point Two Air Vest
I’ll put it on,  plug it in and off I’ll go
Tally Ho
Tally Ho
Tally Ho!

From Diana Rich:

Hark the herald Equestrians sing,
Glory tooooo E — Ven — Ting,
Especially now with the jacket Point Twoooo,
We safely jump ’round the whole year through

Joyful all Eventing Nationers rise,
Join the triumph of this prize
please, oh please, I hope to win,
but if not , next year I’ll enter a-gin !

From Leslie Schulz:

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the barn
Not a creature was stirring, not even the Cairn.
The feedbags were hung by the stall doors with care,
In hopes that the Barn Manager soon would be there.

The Chestnut was nestled all snug in his stall,
Dreaming of new tricks to make riders fall.
With me still in britches, and Wofford’s book on my lap,
I had just closed my eyes for a much needed nap.

When out in the paddock there arose such a racket,
I fell from the sofa, where’s my Point Two Jacket?
Away to the front door I flew like a flash,
Tripping over saddle pads in my hasty dash.

When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a shiny red gooseneck, lead by eight draft-sized reindeer.

With a sturdy old driver, so nimble and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be St Nick.
More rapid than thoroughbreds his coursers they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name!

“Now Henny! now, Shiraz! now, Tate and Inmidair!
On, Pawlow! On, R-Star, on Donner and Conair!
To the top of the Trakehner! to the top of the wall!
Now gallop away! Gallop away! Gallop away all!”

He was dressed all in fleece, from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all covered with shaving and soot.
A bundle of Tack he had flung on his back,
And he looked like a vendor, just opening his rack.

He spoke not a word, but went straight to his chores,
And filled up the tack room hoping THIS would boost scores.

He sprang to his rig, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like an eventing missile.
But I heard him exclaim, ‘ere he hit the 3 stride,
“Happy Pro Air Christmas to all, and have a safe ride!”
