Show Rules …china shows sure do rule!
All horses must be shown wearing a white tag on a leg, tag is either 1” or 2” long. Please write clearly or print a sticker on one side of the tag:
- Horse name
- Breed
- Gender
- Owner’s 3 initials + number
( XXX1, XXX2...)
This must be facing up when the horse is on the judging table. Judges do not want to risk damaging your piece just to flip a tag. Horses without tags will not be judged.
Per class entry:
No limit of class entries. We want to see the beauties you have, so if your collecting specialty is Arabians, for example, don’t feel as though you must leave something wonderful at home. With our extending this no-limit courtesy, we ask that you bring only the very best of your collection. To fill halter classes with your own duplicates or inadequately restored horses does not add to everyone’s edification and it slows the show down. We hope the no-limit rule will provide the show with an array of production colors seldom seen together in one location. We challenge you to knock our socks off!
Cross entry is allowed only in the following cases:
1. OF Large Production of either division may cross enter OF LP Collectability.
2. Glaze and Claybody Custom horses may cross enter into Custom Workmanship.
NO cross entry between foal and adult breed classes, nor foal champs and adult gender champs.
Proxy showing:
All-ceramic model horse shows are events best appreciated in person. Proxy showers will be charged a sliding scale proxy fee, but there is no table space included in the package.
- Proxy 1-5 models (groups glazed together on a single base will be considered one)… $20
- Proxy 6+ models… $40
- Proxy owners must identify their entry lottery winner proxy shower when sending their entry form.
Show staff will not show horses that were shipped to the show without a proxy exhibitor named or present.
Participant Conduct:
The ceramic horse community is a happy, friendly family with like concerns and passions. We humbly remind all to please treat others and their horses with the respect you would like to receive. Do not touch other people’s property without their express consent and supervision. You are responsible for any damage you cause; the show hall, show holders, and city are not liable (you will sign a release upon registration). We do not allow public, non-participants, children who are not registered exhibitors, or pets in the show hall. Please leave your pet in your hotel room, or arrange to keep it in a crate next door. Persons under age 18 who are selected by entry lottery must have a release of liability signed by a parent or guardian, and persons under age 18 must have a badge-wearing adult present. Any helpers or spouses must wear a badge to enter the show hall. We are very strict about our security for our china showers' peace of mind. Anyone, of any age, who is rude, profane, aggressive, deemed a danger to other showers or property, or runs/jogs inside the show hall will be escorted from the show without refund. Running, rushing, or bumping is extremely irresponsible behavior in a room full of ceramics. No smoking inside the hall, there is plenty of room outdoors for that.
