LUNCH is NOT included in the entry fee. There is a Supreme Burger and Great Harvest Bread Company across the street and several fast food restaurants a few blocks away. I will provide a map in the show packet. Lunch will be exactly one hour!!

Refunds: There will be NO refunds for no-shows, for people asked to leave because of disruption of the show, or for anyone leaving early. Refunds will be considered up to two weeks before the show.

Proxy showing: Cost is $3 per horse, limit 10 per person. May be shown by another entrant for the owner of the horse, however fees should be paid for those proxy horses. Please send entry form with name of your proxy shower. The entry card must show the name of the horse owner AND the proxy shower.

Selling: Exhibitors may sell/trade pieces from your table, since I always like to see what eye candy is out there with a pricetag on it! But because space is limited, try not to let it take over your table or pay for a larger table specifically to sell.

Awards/Placings: Ribbons will be awarded for 1^st – 6^th place.The first and second place horses will be called back after their respective divisions for champ/reserve champ to be selected. Rosettes for Champions and Reserve Champions will be given.

Class Limit: 3 models per class per owner.

Class Info: Classes may be split, combined or cancelled, depending upon the number of entries, at the discretion of the judge and/or showholder. Please do not include halters unless they are appropriate for their breed. If in doubt, leave it out! Also, easily tipped models may be placed on their side with the understanding that the judge may pick it up to inspect the other side. There will be approximately THREE MINUTES between classes, since we want to keep the show moving. Please stay on your toes!

Judges: The mother/daughter team of Cristine Holt (guest judge from Iowa) and Tara Oliver (the local). Both have been involved in the hobby for 16 years and some judging under their belts. But remember that classes will be based on the judge’s opinion, which varies from person to person! So please be content with the judge’s decisions.

3x5 cards: Each entry must have a 3”x5” card. If you do not have 3”x5” cards, please ask the showholder for some prior to the beginning of the show. On the up side, print clearly or type the horse's name, class number, breed and gender. On the downside, clearly print or type your name or initials. Entries without Entry Cards will be disqualified; 3”x5” cards are necessary for the show results. You may have a foot tag on your model for ID purposes, but for security purposes, please make sure that the only info in view is the name, gender, and/or breed of the model.

Documentation: Documentation for your horses is welcomed, especially in the cases of unusual breeds, colors or coat patterns.  Please don’t assume the judges know everything there is to know about every breed and color.  As a courtesy to other showers, please limit the size of your documentation to a maximum of 8-1/2 x 11 inches.

Divisions: HALTER ONLY. There will be CM/AR, OF Plastic, CM/AR Mini, and OF Plastic Mini. Mini models are little-bit/Pebbles scale and smaller. The larger divisions will be judged first, then the mini divisions will be judged afterwards, most likely in the afternoon. There will also be CM/AR Workmanship classes after the CM/AR mini division is judged.

Results: Results from the show will be emailed to entrants and posted to the website after the show. If you prefer a hard copy by snail mail, please provide a LSASE.

Door prizes and Auctions: There will be door prizes called throughout the show. There will also be silent auctions that will close promptly at 3. We will hold raffles and sell tickets at 2/$1.

Food: A sandwich and salad buffet WILL BE PROVIDED at the show by the hotel. The fee for lunch is included in your entry fee.  The show hall will not be left unattended. Please see note above about the cost of non-entrants to eat as well, which we of course are more than happy to do (just please make sure to pay for it)!
