2nd Place
Deanne Pisarkiewicz wrote: "A horse is what I really need. There's nothing like a spirited steed. X-box, Nintendo, Playstation2, I'd take a horse over all of you. To have a real horse is my wish - to walk, to see it each morning and greet it with a kiss."

Second Place Prize: Deanne will participate in the Longmeadow Rescue Ranch Parade of Animals during the National Charity Horse Show opening ceremonies, receive her very own certificate of care and sponsorship for a Barn Buddy horse that she may visit and groom, and take three half-hour riding lessons at Baskin Farm in Wildwood, MO.
