looking for info

hello, i am seeking info about a contest that ran in 1955. it was the post cereal “name the pony” contest. the top 25 received Shetland ponies with official Roy Rogers saddles and bridles. Post cereal states that they have no info available due to the company being sold several times. The Roy Rogers museum appears to be closed. Any info about who received ponies for prizes, how it worked out for them. whether it fostered life long loves of horses. or even if it was a negative experince

Im sorry I can not help but I would love to know the results of what you find, can you keep us updated? This sounds like it would make for a good story!

yes i certainly will
