NSBA Foundation Photo Contest

The National Snaffle Bit Association Foundation, in partnership with 4-Star Trailers, invites everyone to grab their camera (or phone) to show off their horse in a special photo contest that will benefit the Susan Scott Memorial Scholarship and Youth of the Year Award. The overall winner of the contest will receive a 2026 4-Star Trailer!

Contestants will vie to have their photos published in a new calendar. Participants will submit photos following a different theme for each month. Finalists will be selected from each category in a donate-to-vote format. Every photo tells a story. Every entry helps write a brighter future.

Each month will feature a theme as follows:

January – Winter Wonderland
February – Love Your Horse Valentines
March – Mares and Babies
April – Spring is In The Air
May – Graduation
June – Team Spirit
July – Beat The Heat (Dog Days Of Summer)
August – World Champions
September – Fall Fun
October – Costumes Contest
November – Fat Horse/Fat Pony Month
December – Holiday Spirit

All photos must include a horse and be family-friendly.
