~~ You must be a member of the CCMHA Discord Server.
~~ You may only enter models painted by someone currently on server.
~~ Do not list artist names in your documentation.
~~ Schleich, Stablemate, and Micro scales allowed. (1:18 and smaller, such as 1:32, and 1:64) Nothing larger.
~~ This is to qualify the artist, not the owner of the model. You can be kind to those who haven't made Tier 1 yet, and enter models they have painted that you now own.
~~ You must own the horse you enter, or have explicit permission from the owner, even if you painted it.
~~ You may enter even if you are already Tier 1 to help pad classes to the needed numbers.
This show has a private list of entrants that are allowed to enter.
Concluded
You can find the show results below
Divisions
Workmanship. Smaller scales only: 1:18, 1:24, 1:32, and 1:64. Smaller is fine if such a thing exists. ~~ Patterned greys go in the patterned section. ~~ Solid greys go in the solid grey section. ~~ All other solids go in the solids section. ~~ ALL fantasy and decorators go in the class which is in the solids section, but allows white patterns, also, as long as they are fantastical designs. All other sections should be realistic.
Sections
Grey solids workmanship. Smaller scales only: 1:18, 1:24, 1:32, and 1:64. Smaller is fine if such a thing exists. Patterned greys go in the patterned section. Realistic horses in here, only. Fantasy has a class in the solids section.
Classes
These horses are often much younger. They may or may not have dapples yet and often will show their base coat still. If they have dapples they're normally restricted to the warmer areas of the body. They can have any base coat, including roan, but should not be pinto patterns. If pinto or white patterned, enter in the patterned classes.
The final stage of greying for most heterozygous greys, they are mostly white with flecks of darker pigment speckled throughout their body. Can vary from light/few fleabitten flecks to many fleabitten spots and can include bloody shoulder marks. If pinto or white patterned, enter in the patterned classes.
These horses are normally older and have turned mostly white. Greys can have any base color. Greys in this class should be mostly white but can still have some dark areas. These horses can have some fleabitten marks but they should be minimal. Here is an example of a darker grey horse for this class: http://www.theequinest.com/grey-breeds/ If pinto or white patterned, enter in the patterned classes.
White Patterns. Smaller scales only: 1:18, 1:24, 1:32, and 1:64. Smaller is fine if such a thing exists. Grey with patterns is allowed here. Solid Greys go in the grey section. Fantasy and Decorator do not belong anywhere in this section. They go in the Fantasy / Decorator class in Solids. We wanted them all combined.
Classes
ALL Appaloosas, except pintaloosas/max dominant which should be in 'other'. Blanket, few spot, leopard, semi-leopard, snowcap, snowflake, and varnish. No pintaloosas or max dominant white; They should go in 'other'.
A beautiful pattern, frame is homozygous lethal and only exists in heterozygous form in real life. Horses tend to have large white markings on the face with white on the body that rarely crosses the dorsal or midline of the belly. They tend to have little to no white markings on the legs, though can have lots of white on their legs.
This is a catchall for the unusual patterns out there. Brindle, chimera, somatic mutations, all kinds of funky but naturally existing colors. Any pattern and any color can enter this but they HAVE to have something unusual about them if they are not one of the catchall patterns: if it's subtle you need to explain in the model's description WHY they're in the class or they WILL be disqualified. Enter here: brindle, chimera, somatic mutations, pintaloosa, rabicano, tovero, max dominant white pinto, horses with more than one white pattern, and 'other'.
Sabino has so many forms it's hard to categorize. The most common expression is ragged edges to markings with a tendency to have large amounts of white on the face and legs which can extend up onto the flank. Sb1 is the most common type of sabino but there are many W genes that have the same appearance. You can enter those in this class too! Homozygous sabino can be completely or almost completely white. Max dominant white can be entered here.
Splash is characterized by smooth, crisp edged white markings that look like the horse's lower half was dipped in paint. Splash often causes blue eyes and sometimes horses with splash covering the ears will also be deaf.
Tobiano is the most easy to follow of white markings, in my opinion. It tends to but does not always favor white on all four legs, leaving the head dark with minimal white markings. There tends to be a dark spot at the flank and shoulder as well. At minimal, tobiano can be mostly solid with white stockings and a small white patch at the shoulder, hip, or half of the tail. Markings tend to be smooth and crisp edged, but do not have to be.
No pintos, sabinos, rabicanos or appaloosas in this class. Solid only. Grey solids have their own section. No realistic greys in this section. Fantasy and decorators allow white markings, greys, etc, we have only one class for fantasy and decorator, and it's in this division. It must be a fantasy/decorator, however.
Classes
For traditional bay and wild bay, not seal bay. If your horse is in-between shades, pick the one you think fits the horse best! Bay horses have a brown body with dark legs, skin, mane and tail. Bay can range from very red toned and very gold toned. If it is a seal bay, please enter in the Seal Bay class. No greys or roans in this class; No pintos or appaloosas in this class. Solid only.
Black horses can have a surprising amount of depth in their coats that can easily be missed when making model horses. A good black custom in this class will have shading but not too much brown because then they will show better as seal bay or bay/brown. Black horses can sunbleach heavily if they are lacking nutrients or are often sweaty in the hot sun, a good reference for a heavily bleached horse will be helpful. No greys or roans in this class; No pintos or appaloosas in this class. Solid only.
Buckskin horses are bay/brown horses with a single cream dilution. They will have black mane and tail, black ear tips, black skin, and black legs. Their shade can vary from very pale "buttermilk buckskin" to very dark "burnt buckskin" (which is cream on a seal bay horse). Single cream only dilutes the red pigment on the horse so the black areas stay black. No greys or roans in this class; No pintos or appaloosas in this class. Solid only.
All chestnut horses, flaxen or otherwise. Shades can vary from sandy, almost palomino to such dark concentrated red pigment that the horse looks black. The body can range from very light to very dark red, nearly black. A telltale signature of a chestnut horse is a lack of black tips on the ears and lighter coloring on the pasterns (can be very slight). The skin is black but other than that there are no black points. No greys or roans in this class; No pintos or appaloosas in this class. Solid only.
All dun horses. Dun can appear on all base coats, though it may be hard to see on very light coats. Dun is characterized by primitive markings including a dorsal stripe that goes through the tail, darkening of the legs with barring, shoulder striping that begins from the dorsal, ear barring, and darkening at the face, as well as some lightening of the coat. Horses do not have to have all of these traits but at the very least should have a dorsal stripe that goes through the tail and some minor leg barring. Very extreme duns exist too and are welcome in this class. No greys or roans in this class; No pintos or appaloosas in this class. Solid only.
Any and all fantasy and decorator horses go here, even if they are completely natural other than having a unicorn horn. These horses can have any pattern / white pattern as well. *All Decorators.*
Have a horse that doesn't fit in the above classes? It probably goes here, unless you're just using this class to try and enter more horses (please don't). Horses that belong in other classes will be DQ. This is for solids of: silver bay, silver dapple, pearl, pearlino, cremello, smoky cream, champagne, mushroom, double dilutes, mixed dilutes, all go here UNLESS they have white markings, are grey, or roan. Double dilutes are any base coat with two copies of cream. Single cream only dilutes red pigment, double cream dilutes ALL pigment. Their shade can vary from white to creamy greyish. Cremello, perlino, and smoky cream have overlapping phenotypes and cannot be determined by appearance alone in real horses. They will always have pink skin and blue eyes. You may also choose to enter ivory champagne here. No greys or roans in this class; No pintos or appaloosas in this class. Solid only.
Palomino is chestnut with a single cream gene. Single cream only dilutes red pigment, so on a chestnut horse the whole body will dilute, leaving only the skin dark. Most often palominos will have white mane and tail but some rare exceptions occur where the mane and tail can be silvery or match the body color. Body shades can vary from very pale cream to very dark "chocolate" palomino. These horses should not have black anywhere on them except the skin. No greys or roans in this class; no pintos or appaloosas in this class. Solid only.
Technically, roan is a white pattern because it is on the KIT allele but Naomi likes it more in solid classes, so Arqenciel is copying. This class is for ALL ROANS regardless of base color. Roans are characterized by white hairs mixed evenly throughout their body, most often concentrated to the flank and sparsely at the face and lower legs. The mane and tail are normally not touched by roan but can have some "frosting." Front legs will often show "Inverted V's" where the white hairs do not effect. No greys in this class; No pintos or appaloosas in this class. Solid only.
Seal bay is a shade term for very dark bays. Can range from being so dark there is only cinnamon color around the muzzle and flank to very high contrast horses. All seal bays will have dark legs, dark skin, and dark mane and tail. If you aren't sure what your horse will fit better as, google "Seal bay" and "Bay" horses and choose the one YOU think fits better. No greys or roans in this class; No pintos or appaloosas in this class. Solid only.
