Includes custom cold-painted china/porcelain models Original Finish (OF) Plastic: Mass produced plastic models that have their original factory finish/paint job. No alterations to the original paint may be made such as additions of white markings, glossing a matte finish model, etc. Touch-ups to rubbed models are acceptable as restoration of the original factory finish. -In the Open Division, some breed classes are split by manufacturer: 1 class for Peter Stone models which are marked with the abbreviation PS (Peter Stone) before the breed and 1 class for Breyer and other brands of models which are marked B/O (Breyer/Other manufacturer) before the breed. (Ex: PS Arabian and B/O Arabian classes) Performance: Appropriate tack and props/obstacles required. -Description cards are required that state what the horse is doing (exceptions: Western Pleasure and English Pleasure).

3 Performance Judging Criteria: -Models judged on correctness and fit of tack, scale and set up of tack and obstacles, and on model s suitability for the class. -**To allow the performance division to be judged faster, we will be using Dun Discs. Dun Discs will be available at the show and are used to let the judge know whether your entry is completely set up or not. Have the disc with the red side up while setting up your entry and flip it over to the green side to let the judge know that you are done setting up. This will allow the judge to start judging the finished entries while others are still being set up.** Performance Class Definitions: Harness: Vehicle not required. Other Performance: Any realistic performance (tacked up) that does not fit in any other class. Over Fences: Hunter Over Fences, Stadium Jumping, Cross Country, etc. Jump required. English Pleasure: The classes are divided into Sport type breeds and Non-Sport type breeds. Dressage: Test and movement that the horse is performing is required. Other English: Any English performance that does not fit in the other English classes. Trail (English or Western): Natural trail obstacle or show/arena obstacle required. Cutting/Roping/Stock Work: Must include cattle/stock of the correct type. Western Games: Props and pattern required. Western Pleasure: The classes are divided into Stock type breeds and Non-Stock type breeds. Western Pattern Classes: Classes that the horses are judged on a pattern that they perform such as Reining, Western Riding, Horsemanship, etc. Pattern Required. Other Western: Any Western performance that does not fit in the other Western classes. Halter: **Halters not required, but if they are used they must fit correctly or it may count against your entry. It is typically best NOT to use halters in the halter division.** -If you have a breed that is not well known, it is recommended that you provide breed documentation with your model on the show table in the form of a breed description with a picture on a description card no more than 8.5 x5.5 ( letter sized paper folded in half). -No felt squares are to be used to place models on unless they tip over easily and/or must be laid down. In that case they may be laid on felt or other protective material. By laying a model down, you give the judge permission to carefully pick up and inspect the other side of the model. If you do not want the judge to handle your model, please place a note by it and stay relatively close to the show ring so that you can turn the horse over when requested by the judge. If your model is tippy, it is best to lay it down so that it won t possibly fall over and damage other models or itself. Halter Judging Criteria: -Models will be judged on conformation, color standards and characteristics for the breed; suitable gender characteristics; quality of paint job/prepping and condition (absence of rubs, flaws, overspray, rough seams etc.) Halter - Examples of breeds by type: Sport Breeds: Thoroughbreds; Carriage Breeds - Cleveland Bay, Dutch Harness Horse, Friesian, Gelderland, Hackney Horse, Welsh Cob Section D, etc. Warmblood/Sport Horse any breed with Warmblood in its name (*must indicate what breed of Warmblood or Sport Horse it isdo not simply write Warmblood or Sport Horse *), plus Hanovarian, Holstein, Trakehner, American Warmblood, Appaloosa Sport Horse, Don, English Cob, Fredericksborg, French Trotter, Irish Draught, Knabstrup, Oldenburg, Orlov Trotter, Selle Francais, Standardbred, Thoroughbred/Warmblood crosses, etc. Stock Breeds: Quarter Horse, Paint, Appaloosa, Stock-type Mustang, Colorado Ranger, etc. Light Breeds: Arabian, Part-Arabian (Anglo-Arabian, National Show Horse, Morab, and other horses whose breeds are mixed with Arabian), Morgan, Barb, Shagya, Tersk, etc. 3
