Hay gumshoes, get ready to use your sleuthing skills for a virtual scavenger hunt!

Below is a list of clues pointing to 10 things located around GirlsHorseClub.com. Your goal is to be the Grand Prix Detective by finding each one and being the first to contact us with all 10 correct.

RULES

  1. All items must be found within GirlsHorseClub.com.
  2. In addition to the answer, you must include where you found the answer. It’s OK to include links. See the sample question/answer below for clarity.
  3. Each person has just ONE shot at listing where you found *all* items, so do your detective work thoroughly before contacting us. Answers sent one at a time or in batches of less than 10 do not qualify.
  4. During the mini break, comments will be closed and we won’t be answering questions — you’re on your own!
  5. We’ll announce the winner as early as possible after the break. Some clues aren’t easy, so if we don’t have a winner by then we’ll post some hints.
