Custom glaze division (only) will include foals. Buy in is available for $1 per horse if you would like to show more than 3 horses in a class but you must be able to get your horses to the ring in a timely manner. A horse may be shown in only ONE breed class. Models shown in more than one class will be disqualified.
Foals may not enter in the regular halter classes (with the exception of CM glaze foals) as they have their own division.
TAGS: You will need to provide your own leg tags. Baystate Halter Live is a participant in the region 10 tag system. Please contact Jackie Arns at drsteggy@drsteggy.com to obtain your exhibitor number and instructions on creating your tags. You will need to turn in your list of horses and numbers prior to the start of the show.
GENERAL INFO: This is a NAMHSA® (North American Model Horse Shows Association®) qualifying show. Any horse placing 1st or 2nd in either Open Division ONLY will be eligible to show in the 2010 or 2011 NAN®. Please read the information about NAN tickets on the NAMHSA website: www.namhsa.org. Please be advised: NAN® is for model HORSES and OTHER EQUINES ONLY. Animals other than equines will not receive NAN tickets.
Table space is limited. Each entrant will have half of a 6 foot banquet table to set up, so please plan accordingly. Sales tables will be available on a first come, first serve basis.
There will also be a ribbon recycling program. Please turn in any unwanted flats or rosettes to the show coordinator at the end of the show. This will also help keep future costs low.
Multiple tables will be used to save time. As one class is being judged the setting up for the next class can be done on the other table. There will be about 2 minutes between classes to allow for halter switching and adjustments.
Classes may be split or combined if number of entries warrant. If there are too few entries in a particular class, the judge may decide to combine it with another similar class in order to warrant first and second place winners a fair NAN qualification.
There will be a 30 minute lunch break around 12:00 pm (or when it is convenient to break).
LUNCH: There is a lunch special option on your entry form for $5 per person. You will recieve lunch tickets in your show packet, please don't lose them. lunch will include cheese pizza, soda or water and dessert (cookies or brownies, it depends on time constraints before the show). There are also many fast food restaurants in the area that are in very close driving distance.
DEALER: There may be a Breyer/Stone dealer at the show
RULES: No set-ups or handlers in halter classes. Halters and bridles, if used, must be appropriate to the breed, fit well, and must be put on in a timely fashion.
Collectibility entries : If you want the collectibility judge to consider your model, you must provide a 3"X5" index card explaining why it is collectable. (i.e "Breyer SR 1 of 350 made). There are so many new models created every year that it is almost impossible for any one judge to be familiar with them all.
Fragile models may be laid on a towel or a piece of felt. The judge reserves the right to pick up and inspect these models.
No radios, pets, or smoking is allowed in the show hall. Please also no small children. Bad sportsmanship and poor conduct will not be tolerated, and may be cause for dismissal of those entrants from the show hall. Please also show only your own models or those that you are proxy showing with the fees paid. The show cannot survive without the entry fees and the donations from generous people.
The decision of all judges is final. If you have any questions regarding your entry, address them to a judge immediately after the class is pinned, while the reasons are fresh in the judge's mind.
The show coordinator, judges, and hall can not be held responsible for loss, damage, theft, or injuries to participants, their property, or to guests.
MOST IMPORTANT: HAVE FUN!!!
