Presentation: A well done exhibit that represents the class category well. 5 points available. Creativity: Imagination and detail. 5 points available. You may enter as many horses as you would like in most classes unless it is specified one horse only (such as in Halter Class). EXAMPLE: These are not the September classes. You may enter a total of eight (8) events. You may have more than one horse in an event.
That is a total of eight (8) events, but a total of fifteen (20) horses. If you have multiple horses in a class they must be listed as one entry and grouped together with one tag. If the entry is very large, use one main tag to list all the information of the horses and number and name each horse on this card. Individually number each horse to correspond with the main tag. The main card only needs to be attached to one horse. A corresponding number may be attached to each of the other horses. Remember to hole punch and attach the card to the horse with string or yarn.

Dear Model Horse Show participants, To ensure a smooth running program that displays respectful attitudes and judging that is done in a quick and orderly fashion based on a point system, I will ask for a parent and student to sign a participation agreement form. Please read the agreement, sign and return it at the September show. If you have multiple children attending you may all sign the same form. I am glad to be leading the Model Horse Show and hope that it provides many good memories for your student. I want this to be enjoyable and time well spent, as students learn more about horses and enjoy the model horse hobby together. To ensure respect for the property we are using and respect for one another during the show we will abide by the following guidelines. POLICY FOR USING THE CHURCH We have use of Room #109 only and must stay in our room unless using the bathroom or getting a drink. Youth Group will come and go in all other rooms throughout the course of the evening. I understood fully when making an agreement with the church that there would be much activity and loud noise to contend with during our Model Horse Show. For this reason we keep our door closed to limit the amount of noise and outside distractions. When exiting the building please be respectfully quiet so we do not interrupt Youth Group meeting which is also taking place in the basement. If there is a problem in the building, distractions, a broken item or if you left an item in the building during our meeting PLEASE contact me. I will take care of the issue. I am responsible for all communication with the church staff regarding the use of the building. No snacks or food during the meeting. Drinking water is permitted. Younger siblings may not play unsupervised in the building or outside. Preschoolers must be accompanied by a parent when going to the restroom. Any defacement of church property, (chairs, tables, walls, etc.) will result in forfeiting attendance at the Model Horse Shows. RESPECTFUL BEHAVIOR DURING MEETINGS To keep our show on time each student needs to set up by 7:10 p.m. Students must be allowed to set up their horses without interruption. When you have finished setting up you may quietly walk around and look at the exhibits or sit down at the table to talk with friends. No talking during student presentations, teacher presentations or awards presentations. Raise your hand to answer questions or ask them. We have so much fun together but I can not have talking during the meeting or we will not accomplish our goals for the evening. Parents, if your child is whispering, talking, or being a distraction to me or others, I will warn them by name once and then I will call on you by name to take care of the distraction. If a pattern of misbehavior or talking out of turn develops I will call and talk to the parent the next day to remind them of this agreement. It the problem continues at the next meeting the child will forfeit attending the Model Horse Shows. I want our students to have holy and pleasing conduct in all areas of their lives that brings glory to God, and shines a bright light on homeschooling. It takes much love, commitment, self-control and energy to have an excellent program that is enjoyable to everyone involved. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to work with your student. They delight me every month when I see how excited they are about their horses and how creative they have been in preparing for the Model Horse Show. Feel free to send an email if you have any questions or concerns. Model Horse Show Model Horse Show Participation Agreement
