The bond between horse and rider goes far beyond just the joy of riding or competition. We know it’s about the passion every rider has to care for their horse’s every need, from healthcare to horseshoes.

That’s why Legend® (hyaluronate sodium) Injectable Solution by Bayer Animal Health has teamed up with Ashlee Bond, global equestrian champion and fresh face to the sport horse scene, for the “Enjoy the Ride” contest that awards one lucky horse owner/rider a trip of a lifetime.

One grand prize winner will receive an all-expenses-paid trip for two to the U.S.-debut of the world’s leading equestrian championships in Lexington, KY. in September 2010.

Entering the contest is easy. Just tell us your personal story, in 150-words or less, about how much you love and care for your horse, and what your horse gives back to you every day in return.
