Also featuring a "model by Laura Behning" class, so you can show these in this class for a chance at a NAN qualification. The winner will get a special award. There is also a special award for Best Morgan Horse in the show, so please, show your Morgans! We will have lots of door prizes as well, and appreciate door prize donations!

Rules: There is a limit of three horses per person per class. However, if you specialize in a particular breed, you may show up to five of that one breed in their respective breed class (you're on your honor folks!). We will split large classes, so do not worry that the classlist is not broken down more than it is! Doing things this way allows us to "customize" the show according to what types of horses show up, ensuring full classes with good competition!  Showers must tag their horses with the model's name, sex and breed along with the owner's initials all on one side of the tag. Please bring only one non-showing attendant due to space considerations. Any questions, just ask!

General information: The show is held in the barn aisle (paved), so dress accordingly- the weather could be hot or quite cool! For the safety of all, we ask that you please leave your dogs and other pets at home. If for some reason you must bring them, please make arrangements with us ahead of time. We usually finish the show sometime between 6-8 PM. Things will be laid back and "southern", so come to socialize, meet new friends, enjoy the day and just in general have a good time! Watch Model Horse Blab, Haynet exchange and NAMHSA Region 6 lists for regular show updates!

Judges: Laura Behning and Lisa Bock-Holec

Tables: Don't forget to bring your own tables and chairs (limit of one standard eight foot long table or two card tables per person due to space constraints). We'll have a couple of extras just in case!

Raffle: We will have a couple of neat items to raffle! Tickets are priced at $1/each or 6 for $5.

Benefit Auction: There will be a selection of wonderful equine-related items, model horses, and artwork at auction on ebay the week before the show. The proceeds help with the show expenses. We are always looking for donations so if you can help, contact Laura. Thank you SO much to our 2009 donors Tom Bainbridge, Ericka Miller, Jeanne Farnsley, Lynn Fraley, Diane Keiter and Stacey Tumlinson!
