Model Horse Showing Tips

Picture
Your fees are now paid, your name is on the website and you look excitedly at the class list to plan which of your beloved models will go in which classes.

Then it hits you. This will be your first show. What will it be like? What should you do to prepare? Do you have to pay per class like in a real horse show?

I hope to help dispel some of the "butterflies" you may have about your first show and prepare you for success!

Please click the buttons below to go to the section you'd like to browse. Please note that I am writing these articles as both a judge and a competitor. I can help shed some light on both sides of the showing experience for you, but I am also going from personal experience. Your experience may vary, and different regions and countries seem to have different levels of what is deemed acceptable and what is not. Always check the show's official website for further guidance on show rules.
