NORTH AMERICAN MODEL HORSE SHOW ASSOCIATION rules are in effect for this MEMBER SHOW. Each horse that is awarded a first or second placing will be given a "NAN Card". This card allows the model entry to the North American Nationals in either 2010 or 2011. It is the winner's responsibility to fill this card out completely and to keep track of it. Replacement cards are not issued by either the showholder or NAMHSA for any reason. Judges are not to show in the divsions they are judging. Judges are not to judge the horses of their "relatives/significant others". Judges may not judge horses they have owned within the last 6 months, nor are they to judge any horse upon which they have collaborated upon creating. Please see http://namhsa.org
AREA HOTELS: please see the page devoted to this.
LUNCH: There will be a 30 minute lunch break around Noon. Lunch will be pre-ordered (see entry form). There are also several fast food restaurants within 1 mile of the school.
BEVERAGES: Pop, water, coffee and donuts will be provided. There is a Wal-Mart, K-Mart and Target nearby.
REFUNDS: ALL requests for refunds must be made at least ONE WEEK IN ADVANCE in writing (email that has been received and responded to) to the show coordinator. Refunds will ONLY be made for extenuating circumstances.
CLASS LIMITS: three traditional models per class, three minis per class, 3 performance per class. Each model may only be entered in ONE Breed class in the entire show. This does not include performance or lunch time non-NAN approved classes.
MODEL IDENTIFICATION : all models are to be tagged by the owners, PRIOR to the show, with white string tags, approximately 1 x 1.5" in size. These "price tags" are available at WalMart and office supply stores. The models breed and gender are to be on one side of the tag; the models name and the owners three initials are to be on the reverse. When horses are placed on the table, the tags MUST be breed/gender side up, with the owner's initials FACING THE TABLE to make the entry anonymous, or the judge may disqualify the entry.
SHOW TABLES: Each entrant will have a 6-9 foot table space. Let me know which you require (6 ft or 9 ft). ALL of your personal property must fit on or under this table. Because the tables have stools permanently attached to them, not much will fit under your table. However, the stools provide an area to set your cases on and there is lots of space around the perimiter of the room. We need to be sure to keep all doorways and aisleways clear in case of fire, and not to mention others could trip, injure themselves, and damage horses finishes and/or body parts. Any damage is the sole responsibility of those involved. It is not the liability of the show/show holders. Please be courteous to others. Everyone has a small space and we must keep within the space provided.
SALES TABLES: You may sell from your table. Additional sales/trading tables are available for $20 each. Show management retains the right to refuse sales tables to non-showers. Please contact the show secretary.
ELECTRONIC DEVICE POLICY: Electronic devices (phones, lap tops, etc.) are allowed. Just be reasonable as to the volume.
SECURITY AND LIABILITY: Security is the responsibility of each individual exhibitor. Show management, judges, volunteers and other associated parties shall not be held liable for any kind of damages or loss to persons or property.
CHILDREN: It is suggested that young children are not brought to the show as they become bored and in their activity may damage personal property of others. If you must bring your child(ren) please note is it your responsibility for their behavior. You may be asked to remove the child(ren) from the show site if they become disruptive, and classes will not be held up and refunds will not be given. You will also be held liable for any damage that your child(ren) do.
PETS are not allowed.
No alcohol or smoking in the show building.
Foul language and unsportsmanlike conduct are grounds for dismissal from the show with no refunds.
Do not handle anyone else's horses for ANY reason without their permission.
UNCLAIMED MODELS Models not removed from the show tables in a rapid and timely manner will be moved to a "Pony Pound". The show/staff shall not be held liable for damage or loss to these models.
MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION
Please stay away from the judges while they are judging. Save your questions for between classes. All decisions are final and are up to the individual judge.
ORIGINAL FINISH MODELS ARE NOT TO BE ALTERED IN ANY WAY. Repairs only are allowed. These models MAY be restored; however it is the discretion of the judges as to whether or not the model has been restored or repaired properly. Judges may disqaulify altered horses at their discretion.
TIPPY MODELS may be shown lying down on a soft cloth. If you do not want this model handled, place a 3x5 card next to it stating that the model is NOT to be touched. If the judge is not to handle the model, the judge may so choose not to include it in the judging.
BREED QUESTIONS: If you have questions regarding what class your model should go in, check out the "Breed Guidelines" section. If you still have a question, please contact Shelley Hogle (khogle2@yahoo.com).
