Brooke USA launched its inaugural summer photo competition on June 15, 2019, raising both awareness and funds in a new and exciting way for working equines and the people who depend on them in the developing world. The competition was open to budding amateurs and professional photographers alike. The top 12 photos will be featured in Brooke USA’s first annual calendar, which will be released November 2019. The calendar can be purchased at BrookeUSA.org. The finalists were chosen by judges who exemplify both the photography and the equestrian world: Kasey Perry-Glass / Brooke USA Ambassador; Enrique Urdaneta-Alamo / Equestrian & Animal Photographer; Hannah Selleck / Brooke USA Ambassador; and David Erdek / Equestrian Photographer.

Congratulations
to the winners
