Ontario Sport Pony & Arabian Breeder Wins November Grand Prize in Equine.com’s ‘10-a-Day Everyday Giveaway’

(TIVERTON, Ontario)  December 15, 2006: On her family’s 79-acre spread overlooking the eastern shore of Lake Huron, Patricia Gras has lots of experience caring for horses in the winter months. What can be a difficult chore just got a little easier for the Tiverton, Ontario woman, as she has just won a winter horse grooming package in the Equine.com “10-a-Day Everyday Giveaway.”

Gerry and Pat Gras, owners of the Rockridge Arabians farm near Tiverton, Ontario, raise Arabians, half-Arabians and sport ponies. As the November winner in the online contest, Gras will receive a prize package that includes an Electro-Groom Horse Vacuum with Booster Power, a Wahl Chromado Horse Clipper, and an Oster 7-Piece Equine Care Series Kit. When contacted with the news that she had won, Pat’s reply was, “Merry Christmas to me!”

“I’ve been around Arabians all my life, and keeping them groomed in winter is no easy task,” said Gras. “We’ve already got a foot of snow here, so you have no idea how timely this prize is.”

“I’m glad our Winter Grooming Package is going to someone who can put it to good use,” said Aaron Bromagem, president and founder of Equine.com. “The Ten-a-Day Giveaway has been a great way to say thank you to all our customers, whether they’re in sunny California or on the snowy shores of the Great Lakes. If you’re a horse person, you’re always welcome into the Equine.com community.”

For ten months during its Tenth Anniversary Year, Equine.com has given away ten prizes every day. Since the 10-a-Day Everyday Giveaway began in March, Equine.com has given away more than 2,700 prizes. December was the final month of the contest, and the Monthly Grand Prize was a large, custom-made Hardwood Tack Trunk, complete with a custom cover embroidered with a monogram of the winner’s choice.
