General Rules

This is a 3x5-card show. Standard Region 2 card format will be used. Showers need to provide a 3x5 index card for each entry; shower's name and horse's name go on one side, and the class number, breed, and gender of the horse go on the reverse.

Animal Artistry resins must show in the AR division.

At the judge’s/showholder’s discretion, a shower may be asked to moved their entry to another class/division if the judge deems the entry incorrectly placed.

If a shower chooses to lay their entry down on the table rather than place it in a standing position, they give the judge the authority to pick up the horse for judging so that they can view the other side of the model. The judge must be allowed to pick up the model for judging.

Judges: Decisions of the judges are final! Please do not question them while they are judging a class. If you have a question regarding a placing, please ask the judge politely and promptly after the class.

Please do not hover while the judge is judging a class! Likewise, please refrain from interrupting the judges while they are judging a class.

Do not touch any models other than your own unless you have the specific permission of the owner.

Anyone using bad behavior or language, or exhibiting poor sportsmanship, will be asked to leave the show hall with no refund. This includes refusal to wear a face mask. The judge's decisions are final. If you wish to question a judge, please use discretion.

Do not pick up anyone's belongings without permission. If you break it you pay for it!

NO SMOKING in the building. You may smoke outside, away from the door, as long as you properly dispose of the butts.

NO ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES on the premises.

Please listen for all announcements!

Questions? Please ask the judge or one of the showholders.

General Class Information

Classes may be split, combined or canceled, depending upon the number of entries, at the discretion of the judge and/or showholder. If the number of entries is sufficient, minis will show in a separated area of the ring, but will not show in separate classes unless class size warrants a split.

Documentation

Documentation for your horses is welcomed and is highly recommended for unusual breeds, colors or coat patterns. Please don’t assume the judges know everything there is to know about every breed and color.

Division Definitions

1. A Custom horse is an OF plastic horse that has been repainted, haired, and/or modified. All levels of modification are permitted.

2. A Custom Glazed horse is defined as a fired, non-production color. Minor facial marking changes are not considered CG. To be considered a production run color, a run must consist of more than 1 horse with the same color/markings and must be noted as such by the manufacturer.

3. An Artist Resin is defined as any artist-designed and released, or artist-made and released sculpture with no specific number of models in the run. Repainted factory run chinas and resins, such as the Breyer releases, Animal Artistry and Northlights, will show in this division.

Judging Criteria

Breed Classes: Best Representative of the Breed based on ABCs (Anatomy, Biomechanics and Conformation) and Workmanship. Collectibility is not a consideration for this show.

Workmanship Classes: Horses will be judged on the quality of the prep work and the paint job and the overall finish or glaze. The quality of the sculpture and the ABCs of the sculpture will not be judged.

Solid horse class entries will have no stockings above the knee or hock, or anywhere else on the body; face markings are allowed. Entries with any other coat colors will show in Color horse class.

China Collectibility: The horses will be judged on rarity, age, condition (absence of chips, breaks, and flaws), followed by overall judge's impression. Please provide documentation specifying name of model, maker, years of production, rarity, and/or anything that makes this model special, where known.
