June Challenge - Horsing Around
The June monthly challenge is a scavenger hunt for the Gallopalooza horses around Kentuckiana. With spring race season behind us, kiddos out of school, and hot weather upon us, June can be a tough month to keep running. This challenge is intended for ladies of all running levels to have fun, stay motivated, run some different routes, and hopefully connect with new MRTT/SRTT friends.
Challenge Rules:
- Find Gallopalooza large horses or horses on barrel during a run.
- Horses can be found on either side of the river.
- Take a selfie/runfie with the horse.
- No limit to the number of horses you can find in one day, as long as they are all found while running (or walking...this event is for ladies of all paces).
- Each unique horse can only be claimed 1 time. We encourage you to find new places/routes to run to find more horses. (We encourage you to create group events to share some of your runs.)
- Post as often as you'd like for accountability and inspiration for others.
- To be considered for prizes at the end of the month post a monthly summary (post between June 30 and no later than July 4) including: total #of unique horses found, tell us if you are new to the group in 2019, include a collage(s) of 1 selfie/runfie from each horse found.
Prizes: Fun prizes are planned from local businesses. Award winners will be recognized at the July Tour deVille on Saturday, July 6 (not required to make TDV to win).

Prize categories include:
- Most Horses Found (prizes for top 3)

Answers to your questions:
- How do I find horses around the area: when you start looking you'll be surprised how frequently you see them. The Gallopalooza website has a location map and gallery with many shown (although it doesn't appear to include the Indiana horses) http://gallopalooza.com/.
- How do I make photo collages: There are lots of free apps. Ex: Pic Collage, Pic Stitch.

Sorry, going all “Mom” on y’all for a second...I know this is common sense, but I’m going to throw it out there....
Please note the horses are all privately owned. Respect the horses and the artists by not climbing on the horses. They’re *supposed* to be anchored to the sidewalks, but many of the older horses aren’t anymore and I would hate for anyone to get hurt or for a statue to get damaged! ♥️♥️♥️
