MILNE FEEDS FOAL BRAG 2006

As usual, we were inundated with entries for the Milne Feeds Foal Brag, which appeared in the WA Show Scene section of our April/May issue, so have uploaded some of the entries we didn't have room for in the magazine. The choice of a winner in each section was a very difficult decision, as you will see by the quality of the following photograhs. We thank Milne Feeds for donating a bag of Studmaster, a diper and Pegasus merchandise for the sections of Cutest Foal and Best Photograph.

The Foal Brag is an annual competition, published each year in the April/May issue, so don't forget to take photographs of your 'baby' this breeding season and email to hoofbeat@iinet.net.au for next years competition.
