I am Glenn the Geek, host of Horses in the Morning.

And I'm Ashley Winch, host of Sleep Stories for Equestrians and the Show Jumping Podcast.

And we welcome you to this special preview episode of the seventh Holiday Radiothon.

It's time for Radio thon.

All the hosts are gathered.

The listeners are here for six hours of horsey fun for the holidays this year.

Well, it's that time of year again.

Preparations are in full swing for the virtual holiday party of the Christmas season.

Six hours of holiday fun, including guests, thousands of dollars in prizes, listener songs and many hosts from the shows you love on the Horse Radio Network.

Plus, we'll be live on video again for the whole six hours on the Sunday after Thanksgiving so more of you can watch live.

Make sure you save the date December 1st from 3 to 9pm Eastern Time.

We want to thank our title sponsors this year, Stateline Tech, Kentucky Performance Products and Benefab Products and so many more.

This year we will give away thousands of dollars in prizes.

We will tell you how to enter.

In just a minute, but first let's talk schedule.

Glenn and I are returning as your MCs again this year and Jamie and Glenn will host the first two hours this year.

The rest of the day will include our host from the retired racehorse radio show, Adulting With Horses and so much more.

For the complete schedule, visit holidayradiothon.com we will also have some terrific guests talking about the holidays.

Some of our past guests have included Charlie Daniels, Kristen Bush of Sugarland, Julie Goodnight, Lynn Palm, Tammy Hogue, Martin Clunes, Warwick Schiller and many more.

And finally, the prizes.

We will give away thousands of dollars in prizes throughout the six hours and some grand prizes at the end.

There are two ways you can enter to the win.

For one entry into the prize pool, you can go to holidayradiothon.com and simply fill out the entry form.

It's that easy.

If you want three entries into the prize pool, you can get those creative juices flowing.

Time again for you to get creative with your holiday songs, poems and stories.

And this is always my favorite part for the last seven times, six times we've done and I know it is yours too, Ashley.

It's everybody's favorite part is hearing from the listeners with all their creativity and their fun songs which you've heard of some of already today, but you can make them about your horses, your favorite hosts, our sponsors or anything.

Horsey Holiday.

And here's a sample from last year.

It's an Equine network Christmas.

It's the best ride of the year.

All your hosts are rearing to go and spreading lots of cheer.

I tore my hay bag right in half Somebody snitched on me Kicked my pony brother right in the Ouch.

Somebody snitched on me.

At the Florida horse farm over 2 acres ranch, the holiday Radiothon begins shaking us from our post Thanksgiving trance.

Gather HRN listeners by the fire's gentle glow for tales of horses and Christmas fails Where cocktails freely flow.

The snow is snowing, the wind is blowing But I will weather the storm.

Why do I care how much it may?

Storm weather, being a rugs will keep me warm.

By submitting your creative holiday songs, poems or stories, you will get three entries to win prizes.

That's right.

Instead of just one, you get three.

You can submit your audio entry through the website or on the voicemail line.

Make sure you go to holidayradioathon.com this.

Year'S charity is Equine Network's own home for Every Horse.

A Home for Every Horse helps vetted rescue organizations find forever homes for adoptable horses.

They act as a resource for equine rescues and sanctuaries.

And the cool part is they only work with verified 501C3s.

We will be highlighting a specific rescue this holiday season as we raise awareness and funds.

Tis the season for giving after all.

All right everyone, get to work and let's make this the best Radiothon ever again.

It's Sunday, December 1st from 3 to 9pm Eastern time.

The best place to watch it will be on the HRN Horse Radio Network YouTube page.

That's right, we're fancy nowadays, so that will be the best place.

It'd be nice to have everybody in one spot this year instead of watching on 12 different places because then all the conversation happens in one spot too.

And you can talk to each other and make fun of Ashley and I and that kind of thing.

Mostly glenn all@holidayradiothon.com you can find all the details.

We'll see you on December 1st.

Six side is frightful, but HRN is so delightful the auditors are listening in.

Radio Thorn is about to begin.
