2023 Readers’ Choice Awards: Breeches.com Photo Challenge Gallery of the Year

Enjoy a little eye candy as we reflect on the best Photo Challenge Galleries of 2023 — and vote for your favorite!

At the end of each December, we at Horse Nation like to look back on the year that was and highlight the articles, essays and videos that most inspired readers, triggered important conversations or had everyone rolling on the floor with laughter — and then let readers decide which one is deserving of the title of the Best of the Year.

The weekly Photo Challenge is a favorite of ours, because it lets YOU take the spotlight, readers! These were our five most popular galleries of 2023: which one deserves to be Gallery of the Year? Take a walk down memory lane and then vote for your favorite.
