Show List... thoughts appreciated!

Wednesday, February 12, 2025 4:34 PM

Hi all, I am really hoping to run more shows this year as I hugely enjoy hosting (maybe even more than showing?!?) but want to break down classes so more horses have the chance to get in.

Here is what I have for breed break downs.

(ignore my terrible spelling -- sorry!)
*note foals would show in their appropriate classes in all but draft, since I feel like may draft foals are even further from adult standards than other breeds. -- though if people feel strongly I can add foal splits all around.
--- Also I won't be super picky about breed class choices since there is definitely room for interpretation in some sections, and will steward any horses that really need moving.

Each show would have OF and CM divisions and I am thinking of expanding from SMs only to having an SM division as well as a Classics/Little bits (ie just no Trads) scale division.
So 4 divisions total:
OF SM
CM SM
OF C/LB
CM C/LB

Same award types as my previous SSS shows - printable business-card style class ribbons, and customized section and division certificates.

And same $2 entry via paypal (does everyone like paypal? - would you want me to offer venmo too?)

Thanks for posting the info. Just want to clarify this show would be for Breyers only judging by the scales? No pebbles or chips included? No rubber/PVC models?

Thanks!

sure thing! I think I would do any plastics like I did for the Stablemate Stampede shows, give the chips/pebbles a chance to play too (I always forget they have other names since I don't collect them, but I have enjoyed seeing them in my other shows)

I will probably start with either pony or draft show since I know there's a stock one going on now.

Looks great.

I wonder if you would consider adding decorator and/or fantasy classes. My decorators especially hardly ever get out of the barn

Ooh, I will see where some fantasy/deco might fit! For sure they will have a spot in the holiday fun show at least!

possibly in with the drafts -- I'll work that into Drafts and Decos (incl fantasy)
