Model Horse Annonymous Live

[threeribbonstable]

I went to my first live show this weekend. I was completely overwhelmed by the sheer number and variety of models that were there. The show took almost 13 hours to complete. But, unbelievably, I actually managed to win or place in several classes. Plus, I won a raffle for a Jennifer Fry custom Goffert. I'm thrilled. Anyway here's my placings. There were hundreds of models there so i really can hardly believe I placed at ALL

Great job! Someday I hope to go to a live show... And do as well as you did! And I am green with envy. I want a nice custom sooooo bad! When he's made you HAVE to post pictures.

[threeribbonstable]

I will. Probably Wednesday. He's listed as a bay roan in the goffert mold. I'm thinking of making him a gypsy vanner, but I'm not sure if that will work yet.

Hello - i know this is an old topic but my daughter is planning on doing their show this year April 10, 2010 in Athens TN - does anyone know how the youth turnout is there?

Thanks - this will be her first live show besides the 4H fun show we are going to in Oak Ridge, TN on February 13

thanks

I don't live down south, but I also do youth shows. Whatever the turnout, she will have a chance to learn new tricks. Tell her to ask the judges a lot of questions about why one horse was placed above the other(especially in the performance classes). Tell her to do her research on the breed classes, as far as breed standards go. It helped me a lot when I started out. Pick horses that are in good condition and tell her that as long as she has fun and learns, she'll be a great shower. Tell her good luck for me. I'm in 4H too. I and my mom started out a model horse 4H club where we live. I'm going to run a youth show in February, but I don't think you want to come all the way up here to the Hudson Valley, New York, LOL.

The Youth class was small, about 10 kids I think. But it was set up real nice, the judges were really helpful, and the kids got nice ribbons and prizes. Maybe, I'll see you there. I'm planning on attending again this year too.

Oh wow! You did great! I've gotta see that Goffert - he sounds GORGEOUS! ;D

He is absolutely stunning!

[threeribbonstable]

I'm entering him in the custom classes this year as a Gypsy Vanner.

Your custom Goffert is absolutely beautiful. Thank you for showing all the pictures from the live show, too. I have yet to venture into that aspect of the hobby, but might do so this year.
