The Results are In!
Blue Moon Acres (of the HorseArt RPG) will be hosting the first Draft Horse Circuit Show of 2011! We're getting off to a bit of a late start this year as the Year-End Championship Show ran a little over.
Judging and Deadline: The show will run until May 31st, 2011. This is a firm deadline so don't delay!
Judging will be a combination of a random roll (1-100) and points from previous experiences.
Training picture: +1
Each past show in this class (each, up to 3): +5
Previous show winner of class (1st place, once only): +10
It is the shower's responsibility to submit the appropriate information to qualify for the bonus points. I will not go searching for said information, but will double-check that which is submitted.
Prizes: The class list is fairly large and in addition to individual prizes for classes there will be a Versatility Award/Champion and Reserve Champion for those who enter in multiple events. Winners of individual classes will receive a portrait of their horse wearing a ribbon. Champion of show will receive a full-color commission of their horse with background in either digital or traditional media, a high-quality 8X10 print will be mailed in the case of digital and the original will be sent if you choose traditional. The Reserve Champion will also receive a full-color commission, but with a simple background and the print will be 5X6" and a traditional piece would be of comparable size.
List of Classes
1) Halter/Conformation- Compared to breed standard
2) Pleasure Driving - Cart (Two-wheeled, single horse)
3) Team Driving (Four-wheeled, two horses)
4) Four-Up
5) Four Abreast
6) Unicorn (three horses, two wheelers and a lead)
7) Six-Up
8) Weight Pull, Single or Team
9) Log Pull/Draft
10) Western Riding
11) English Riding

If there are enough entries classes will be divided. For example there will be stallion, mare, and gelding halter, or a Lady's and Gentleman's Pleasure Driving class instead of just one.
Class Requirements
Please no photos for backgrounds. We are here to improve our skills, please draw your own background. You can use a single background multiple times, but please draw it yourself!
Age: Halter classes are open to all ages from weanling up to aged horses. Driving classes require the horse(s) to be at least three. Draft and pull classes require the horse(s) to be at least five due to the greater stress put on them during these events. For riding classes the horse should be at least four.
Breed and Type: All horses should be of draft type. Draft crosses will be allowed so long as they are of draft type (shouldn't look like a warmblood or, heaven forbid, a hot blood). Draft ponies are also acceptable such as: Fjord, Haflinger, Fell, Dale, etc. But again, they must be of the draft type! Fantasy drafts are also allowed.
Halter: With or without handler, horse must be wearing a halter or show bridle either standing or in motion, but the conformation should be easily seen.
Pleasure Driving: Harness, cart, and driver. Braids are required as is proper attire for the driver (whip included).
Team Driving: Both horses, harness, at least part of the wagon, and driver depicted. No braid required.
Four-Up: Four horses visible, harness, part of the wagon, and driver. No braids required.
Four Abreast: Four horses, harness, part of wagon, and driver, this is a braided class.
Unicorn: All three horses visible, harness, part of wagon, and driver, this is a braided class.
Six-Up: All six horses visible, harness, part of wagon, and driver, this is a braided class.
Weight Pull: Single or team, harness and part of sled visible, driver doesn't have to be depicted.
Log Pull/Draft: Single horse, harness, log, driver doesn't have to be depicted.
Western Riding: Tack and rider required. Rider's wear can be casual or glitzy, but should be neat and clean.
English Riding: Tack and rider required. Huntseat, Saddleseat, Dressage, or Jumping tack, so long as it's English.
