Entry fee: WE ARE FULL FOR 2023! If you missed out, just email me to be
added to the wait list. We usually have a few cancellations.

fee! Donations to cover non-showing
attendants are very much appreciated. Breakfast will be doughnuts, breakfast bars and juice; lunch will be
deli sandwiches, chips, and a selection of
fabulous desserts. Bottled water will be available at all times. If you
have a specific menu or beverage request, just let us know and we'll do our best for you!
If the show runs much later than 7 PM, grilled burgers and hot dogs will be available at dinner time for an additional charge ($5/burger, $3/hot dog).
Jim will come around and take orders in the late afternoon.

CM/AR and CM China divisions; to OF plastic, OF china, CM/AR and CM China Foal
divisions; and Ch/Res in English, Western,
and Other Performance.
Your host and judge: Laura Behning
General information: The show is held in the barn aisle (paved), so dress
accordingly- the weather could be hot or quite cool! We recommend laying your
models on their sides, rather than upright, if you do not have racks to hold
them on your table, for stability. We usually finish the show sometime around 8
PM. Things will be laid back and "southern", so come to socialize, meet new
friends, enjoy the day and just in general have a good time without the rush!
Watch the NAMHSA Region 6 Facebook page for regular show updates!
Special classes: We offer "CM/Resin/CM Glaze by Laura Behning" (to be
judged by a guest judge) so you can show these for a chance at a NAN
qualification. Please see the classlist for more info on all classes. Back
again this year will be two specialty classes for equine themed artist's medallions, resin and ceramic.
5 per person limit- bring out your medallions
for us to see and enjoy!
Door prizes and raffle: We will have door prizes
(and appreciate nice items that are donated for door prizes very much- LMK what
you might have!) as well a couple special items for
raffles. Raffle tickets are priced at $1/each or 6 for $5.
Class limits and tags: There is a limit of three horses per person per
class. If you specialize in a particular breed, you may show up to five of that
one breed in their respective breed class (you're on your honor folks!). We often split
large and/or very competitive classes, so do not worry that the classlist is not
broken down more than it is! Doing things this way allows us to "customize" the
show according to what types of horses show up, ensuring full classes with good
competition! Showers must tag their horses with the model's name,
sex and breed along with the owner's initials all on one side of the tag. Any
questions, just ask!
A VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: Entrants may only bring ONE non-showing attendant due to space
considerations. Please do
not bring the entire family! There is not enough room in the barn and the resulting
foot traffic causes problems for those who ARE showing. Bored children (and sometimes, even adults) get into trouble!
We prefer that you leave your pets at home as well
(exceptions may be made for crated pets in some circumstances, just inquire ahead of time- thank
you!).
Tables: Don't forget to bring your own tables and chairs (we'll have a couple of extras
just in case!) There is a limit of one standard eight foot long table or two card
tables per person due to space constraints. Please bring ONLY what
you can fit on that space (or under the table) into the show "hall". Large
performance setups should be left in your car until your class, then put back in
the car afterwards.
Benefit Auction/door prize items: I will have a selection of CM model horses
on Facebook for sale/auction (best offer) a few weeks before the show. The proceeds
help out with the cost of putting on the show. Donations for door prize or raffle
items are VERY much appreciated-
just drop me an email at
morgans@mindspring.com All donors receive a banner
on this website (in the menu on the right) that runs for one year and links to
their business website. |
