After the champions have been sashed and announced there will be 1/2 an hour for the judges to come together discuss what they will be looking for and discuss the workouts, then the Champion Open Pony Hack, Champion Open Galloway Hack and the Champion Open Hack will compete together for Supreme Champion Open Exhibit. Afterwards the Champion SHow Hunter Pony, Galloway and Hack will come together for Supreme CHampion Show Hunter Exhibit.

Oh and just a guide;

Prelim - Intro/training level
Novice - 1st Level
Elemantary - 2nd Level
Medium - 3rd level

Those are the equivalants - I was using the american levels but it makes things hard seeing as I don't really know what each level introduces for eg. When is shoulder-in introduced, when are the collected gaits introduced etc etc... (I only figured out enough to let you know the equivalants and that's about it!)

Just to let you know, since i combined the Hack Council (any height show horses) with the Pony dressage association (14.2hh and under ponies) I added some large horse classes. The dressage remains only for ponies but there are now hack and showhunter clases for all sizes =)

Hi Maya,

Whoops... that entry formats' fome =) ... no matter what the format I HAVE ENTRIES!!! Yaaah!! lol

I would classify Arrowhead as a showhunter but just for the record, the easiest way to decide whether to enter in the opens or the the show hunters is to first look at their legs, do they have very thin and 'petite' sort of legs? Then look at their neck and head, do they have a thick set neck and a wider face or do they have a slim neack and a small, petite face? The lastly stand back and look at their whole body, is their frame 'heavier'? Or are they dainty?

If they have petite legs, a nice slim neck and a dainty sort of face then they rae open but if they have slightly thicker legs, a wider face and an ov erall larger body they rae show hunter material =)

Hope that helped
Bec

[Maya]

Ok awesome, thank you =) That helped a lot. I'll modify my post to include the additional entries + cheque. =)

Yay! =D I love these shows, btw, and I hope we'll start getting a lot more entries soon. I think they'll be awesome once we get some more ponies in the game.

Can you do me a favour, though? All show results need to be posted in a new thread on the Show Results board. =)

Yes, sorry Maya I just realized that as I was reading through the list of categories I will copy and past the results into the Results page, just in case anyone missed out =)
