Awards:

Flat Ribbons placed 1st - 6th.  Rosettes for Division Champion and Reserves Champion, and awards for remaining Division Top Fives.

​​

Tags:

We use leg tags. If you are making new tags, I prefer all information on one side. Your tags should include:

            Horse's Name

            Breed

            Gender

            Your 3 initials

If you already have tags made, don't remake them! Just make sure they have all the above information somewhere on the tag.

 

Ribbon Recycling Program:

If you don't want to keep the ribbons you win, I'll have an area in which you can donate them back.  This will keep the cost of future shows down.  ;-)

 

Results:

We are only going to record horses that place 1st or 2nd in each class so they can be reported to NAMHSA.  We will not keep track of horse's placings for 3rd-6th

 

General Guidelines and Rules:

 

All First and Second place equids and eligible fantasy equids in NAMHSA approved classes will receive a NAN card.  

 

Models may enter one class Per Division, but Cross entering divisions is fine! As long as your model fits the definition of the division, it can show in that division. For example, a traditional sized Drastic custom model that was customized in 1995 could show in the Drastic Custom Division, the Vintage Custom Division, The Workmanship Division, and the Trad CM/AR/CMGlazed Division.

 

The divisions for Collectabilty and Workmanship earn Yellow NAN Cards. Performance entries earn Pink NAN Cards. In all other divisions, models will be judged on breed standards and condition, and will earn Green Cards. Exceptions are the classes for fantasy horses, which earn Yellow cards.

 

Fantasy Horses are limited to equine based fantasy models such as: Equine Unicorns, Pegasus, Hippocampus, Hippogriff, Thestral, Zombie Horse, Skeletal Horse, or other fantasy equines which depict a creature that is at least 50% equine in form. Creatures that have partial human anatomy or anatomy similar to humans, are not allowed even if they are more than 50% equine. Fantasy Horses can only be judged for Collectabilty or Workmanship and will only earn yellow NAN cards.

 

“Mini” refers to a model standing 5 inches tall or smaller, “Trad” is all sizes larger than 5 inches.

 

Performance is open to models of all sizes, except for classes marked “Mini”. That means if you have mini performance setup, you can show it both in the “mini” class and the general size performance class.

 

No extra bases, stands, footing, halters, or scenes should be used unless the model needs the base to stand properly or the scene/halter is molded to the horse.

​

Tippy models can be shown lying down on a piece of felt or cloth.

 

Collectablity information is required for the OF Collectabilty division classes and all the OF Fantasy classes, but please be mindful of space constraints.  The tables can sometimes get very crowded. 

​

There is a 5 minute time limit between classes.

​​

If your model earns multiple NAN Cards in one day – only 2 can be used toward merit awards. Check NAMSHA’s website for current rules for merit awards.
