High Springs, Columbia County’s Therapy Horse, Sweetheart, is usually with hospital patients behind the scenes, but this is her time to shine as a national Cadbury Bunny commercial finalist.

Cadbury combed through thousands of photo submissions (over 14,000 last year) to select their 20 favorite semi-finalists. The 20 semi-finalists then were asked to send in audition videos. The Top 10 Finalists from those auditions were selected, including Therapy Horse Sweetheart!


  The winner will now be chosen with the help of America’s vote!  


People across the country have until March 22nd to vote once a day for their favorite 2022 Cadbury Bunny.  This year’s contest winner will be announced on March 29, and will star in the classic Cadbury Bunny commercial, set to air on TV nationwide.
