Farnam Launches Contest To Find the 2011 SuperMask II Supermodel

When Farnam launched the SuperMaskR II Horse Fly Mask from the new Shimmer WeaveT Mesh Color Collection this spring it was just the start of things to come. Farnam put the fun in function with this new SuperMaskR II fly mask featuring an exclusive tri-color Shimmer WeaveT mesh combined with fashion forward plush trim to reflect your horse’s unique color.

Now, Farnam is searching the entire country, all 50 states plus the District of Columbia, to find the first SuperMask II Supermodel. This special horse will need to walk the walk, and talk in whinnies – while strutting their stuff on the red carpet because the Grand Prize winning horse will star in Farnam’s national SuperMaskR II fly mask advertising campaign throughout the 2011 Fly Season.

SuperMask II Supermodel contest entry forms and complete contest rules are available online at www.farnamhorse.com/supermask and at participating Farnam dealers.
