Sandy Scoville of Webster, N.Y., won the grand prize. Scoville’s miniature horse, Lola, has a great friend in Tana, a Golden Retriever. The two of them have traveled to many places together including benefits for animal adoption centers.

“I am delighted to win and most likely will buy Lola something for her hair and nails,” Scoville said.

Vicki Hainey of Hannibal, N.Y., won second place. Hainey’s dog, Jessie, is such good friends with her horse, Suade, that whenever Suade’s stall is open Jessie jumps in and licks him.

Kim Stambaugh of Ostrander, Ohio, received a HorseBooksEtc.com basket of books for her third-place photograph of her horse, River, and dog, Toby. Cherie Lonas of Rapid City, S.D., received the book Dogs for fourth place, and Janet Denton from Auxvasse, Mo., won the book Speaking for Spot for fifth place.
