WHY SHOULD YOU COME TO MY (or any) LIVE SHOW.
If you have never been to a live show, you are missing out on a really fun event! At a live show (or a model horse expo), you not only get to complete in various classes with your models, but you get to meet people who share the same interest and you get to see a wide variety of models, tack, and other accessories, all in one place.
Don't worry about the basic procedure for live showing it is quite simple! For halter classes, all you do is take your model(s) to the judging ring when they call your breed class and place them on the tables. For performance, you will need tack, and in some classes, obstacles and other props. For performance, you tack up your model in the appropriate tack for the class, and set up the model in the judging ring, along with any needed props. In fact, setting up entries for a live show is far simpler than setting up for a photo shoot...because you do not have to worry about lighting, backdrops, and settings at a live show.
HOPE TO SEE YOU HERE FOR MID-ARK EXPO!!!

CARDS FOR MODELS
Each model will need a 3 X 5 card for each class the horse is entered in. On one side put the following information--model's name, breed, and gender. On the other side is your full name.

83. ANYTHING GOES
This is strictly for fun. This class has been a great favorite at other shows with exhibitions really using their imaginations and sense of humor. There have been times the exhibitors were laughing so hard they had tears running down their faces! One entry per exhibitors. Entries need NOT be horse-related. At other shows we've seen entries such as "Teenage Mutant Ninja Cows", "Wisconsin Cowasocki", "Honey, I Shrunk the Horse", "Remakers Graveyard (Rest in Pieces Cemetery)". This class will be judged by all exhibitors and spectators. It will be judged by loose change. The winner of the class will be the one with the most change, which they get to keep, along with a rosette.
84. OF/CM SHOWMANSHIP/SCENE
An "entry" may be comprised of more than 1 model; however, only one model will be placed (in other words the extra models will be considered props). This is more than just putting a haltered model on the table, either set up a show ring halter competition or maybe giving a horse a bath for an up coming show. The object is the present your entries to the best of his ability. Props, including doll handlers are encouraged. Use your imagination!!! Some suggestions: Barn scenes, pasture scenes, training scenes, etc. Exhibitions will be allowed a half table for their entry. This class will be judged by all exhibitors and spectators. It will also be judged by loose change. The winner of the class will be the one with the most change, which they get to keep, along with a rosette.
85. COLLECTORS CLASS
Collectors class: Limited to 2 entries per shower with 10 to 12 models. Make a card with a name of the collection, put your name on back.
There is a special Kids Show, it only has a few classes, they don't receive NAMSHA cards. This is a show for children who have never shown before at a live show. I hope to have a judge who talk to the kids, if they have questions.
CHAMPIONSHIP JUDGE OFFS
KEEP TRACK OF YOUR HORSES RIBBONS. When there is a call back, you need to bring back all the ribbons your horse have won. 1st and 2nd place models will be called back for the champion and reserves listed in the class list. Then all the champions and reserved horses will be called back for the Grand Champions and reserves.
