‘Summer Blockbuster’ Contest, Presented by Absorbine: Vote Now For Your Favorite!

It’s time to vote for the horse and reader who best recreated their favorite movie scene: check out all of our finalists and cast your ballot now!

We’ve teamed up with our friends at Absorbine to give away a killer summer prize package valued at over $480 — and now we need your help choosing the winner!

We called on our readers to submit photos and videos of themselves and their horses recreating their favorite movie scenes of all time — including both horse movies and any work on film! Our readers always blow us away with their creativity and talent, and we think you’ll be impressed by all of our finalists. However, you’ll need to choose just one to vote for — our poll is below!

Voting will end on Wednesday, August 3 at 10:00 PM EST and our winner will be announced on Thursday, August 4!

Without further ado, our finalists, in alphabetical order:
