Frolicking Fjord's Photo-Fun Show!
Judging in progress
This is a fun show dedicated to OF Breyer and Stone horses in both Traditional and Mini scales! For now, there are no physical prizes, but I have designed some SUPER cute printable ribbons which can be found here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1vKnEYw0VKtpLRmGkKyV3RWZ2W6wSiea_?usp=drive_link)! If this show gets good feedback, I'd love to expand the divisions (custom, workmanship, collectability, etc.) and perhaps plan out some fun prizes, like custom halter/lead sets and mini sashes for your ponies. If you have any questions, please reach out!

Start of Summer Flash-Show
Judging in progress
Welcome to the Start of Summer Flash show! Please check out the class list, you'll see that each division consists of only sections, not classes. They will still be referred to as "classes." (For example, just "stock," instead of "paint," "mustang," etc.) In this flash show, only 1 entry is allowed per person in each section/class. This is to keep the classes at a manageable size. I'll split them if necessary.

Hey, photo showers! Just a quick update for you all. We've been working on small bug fixes and optimizations behind the scenes and have just pushed some of them today. One of the updates relates to show opening and closing times, which should now show your local timezone and specify as such. Much less confusing!We also wanted to mention since we are seeing a lot of documentation photos being uploaded in this manner lately: alternative images are not for documentation and render your documentation useless if uploaded there. Alternative images are meant to be extra photos of the model that you may want to use instead of the main image you uploaded (for example, of the model's offside, on a different background, etc.). Judges are not able to see alternative images when they are judging classes unless you entered that image instead of the main one, which means they'd only see the documentation and not the model. Either way, the judge will not see both model and documentation, so it doesn't do any good to upload documentation there. If you have Premium, you can upload your documentation image onto the references tab. If you don't have Premium, upload your documentation on another site (such as Google docs, Imgur, etc.) and link to them in your references text field. That way judges are sure to see both and judge accordingly, and your lovely documentation isn't rendered useless.
That's all for now, happy photo showing!

Hey, photo showers! And Happy Holidays - as you can see we have put out the decorations and are getting all festive. We also pushed an update today with even more bug fixes and backend optimizations (CGI errors begone!) as well as two new nifty features:For entrants: There is now a checkbox on the Enter page for "Show only perfectly eligible," this is for classes that have soft requirements instead of strict that allow horses outside of the set parameters to join. Previously, this would cause a lot more models than actually were correct for the class to show up. Now you can check this box and it will show only the models that fit all the requirements perfectly, cutting out all the extra scrolling without restricting the class.
For show hosts, you can now click on any group title on lists to select ALL the items within that group when setting up your classes. For example, instead of selecting every single one of the 50 European Pony breeds for your European Pony class individually, you can now simply click on "European Pony" and it will select them all for you in an instant. Woo! This also applies to workmanship and performance type lists.
As always, let us know if you encounter any issues or bugs with this update (or anywhere on the site). Thanks as always, and happy showing!
