A little bit about our show...
Chris and Lori have been involved in the Model Horse hobby for many, many years. Chris is an accomplished Artist and Author and Lori is an avid Collector and Hobby Business with her Pony Pouches. Chris and Lori have traveled to many live shows all around the country and are drawing upon their combined experiences to create a wonderful showing opportunity for others.
The Red Dirt Roundup offers several unique classes and is expanding some of the more popular classes to help encourage and facilitate the ever growing show strings of model horse enthusiasts in the Region. Some of these include: selected Halter divisions divided by type, separate divisions for Foals and Yearlings, two separate classes for Mules, a full Harness Division, a full Costume Division, and two divisions each for Western and English Performance with added classes.
We hope that you will enjoy your experience at our show and that you will choose to come back again next year!
Want to keep up with all the latest information and discussion?
LIMITED NUMBER OF SHOW TABLES available! Entries accepted on a "first come-first-served basis.
Isles MUST remain Clear! For the benefit of all in attendance, ALL entrants must keep their show tubs, tack boxes, prop boxes, etc. confined to the area on top of or directly under their show table. We cannot allow people to block the walk-ways.
SECURITY: This show is a private event, (NOT open to the public), and only paid entrants and registered guests will be allowed in the show hall. The building will be locked each evening and we have every reason to believe it will be safe and secure. However, use your own judgment! Neither the Show Management or the Elks Lodge is responsible for any loss by theft or damage.
Identifying your entry: we will be using the CARD SYSTEM for all entries. Using a 3 x 5 card, put the model's name, breed and sex on one side and your name on the other side. WRITE LEGIBLY! If we cannot read the information on the card or if the owners' name is not on the back when results are compiled, the placing will be forfeited.
Class Limits: Halter - 3 horses per class. Performance - 2 entries per class. In the case of excessively large classes, the judge may split the class at their discretion.
No setups are allowed in halter classes (towels or cloths may be used under models that need to be laid down). Once a model has been shown in a halter class, it may not be shown again in any other halter class.
You may only show in the divisions you have paid to enter. No cross entry into divisions you have not paid to enter.
Original Finish China Halter Division includes OF (Factory produced) Resins.
Original Finish Performance Division is for all Original Finish Models combined.
Custom Division includes, Customized and Custom Painted Plastic, Cold-Painted China, and Custom Painted Factory Resins
Artist Resins include customized Artist Resins.
KNOW YOUR LIMITS! In order to give everyone a great showing experience, it is important that we keep to a time schedule. There will be a 5 minute time limit between halter classes and a 10 minute time limit between performance classes. NO EXCEPTIONS!
Championships: Champions will be determined by "judge-off" of all the 1st and 2nd place winners in any given division. These will need to be brought back to the judging tables, along with the ribbons that they have won in that division for the judge to evaluate. Championships are determined either by point or merit at the judges' discretion.
SPECIALTY PERFORMANCE HORSE CHAMPIONSHIP This new award is to recognize those wonderful models that are only shown in one performance class and are seldom chosen for Championships due to their limited showability. (Such as Jumpers in flight, Cutting Horses, Horses in Dressage Movements etc.) It is open ONLY to horses who show in just ONE Performance class, (in the entire Performance division), and placed 1st or 2nd in it. This Championship will be awarded at the end of the Performance Division.
Judges decisions are final!
Be a good sport! Poor sportsmanship, rude or disruptive behavior and foul language will not be tolerated!
Collectibility: All showers are urged to place an informational card by their model if they want it judged on collectibility. If you fail to include collectibility info by your horse it is not the judges responsibility to look up or verify a models collectability.
Sales: Entrants may sell items from their show tables. Non-entants may purchase a sales table for the Friday Night Swap & Shop.
NO SMOKING in the Show Hall and NO PETS!
LUNCH: We will break for one hour as close to noon as possible on both days. There are loads of fast-food places nearby or you can bring your lunch if you like.
Entrants may bring snacks and other food items but absolutely NO Alcoholic beverages of any type may be brought into the Show Hall.
Children 13 and under MUST be accompanied and supervised by a Parent or Guardian.
WE WILL HAVE THREE RINGS RUNNING SIMULTANEOUSLY EACH DAY! So pay attention to the class announcements during the day.
Most of all - have FUN and take some time to meet and make new friends!
We are always happy to receive items to use as door prizes or raffle items to help offset the expenses of holding the show! THANK YOU in advance for your donations!
