RESULTS: will be emailed for those that have email access. For those of you that do not have email or would prefer a hard copy please provide a SASE.

LIMITS: There are no limits of horses, but you will only have a half table so please plan accordingly. Three (3) horses per entrant in a halter class. A horse may be shown in only ONE breed class. Models shown in more than one class will be disqualified. Foals may not enter in the regular halter classes as they have their own division. Models shown during the lunchtime fun classes ONLY do not need to be registered.

TAGS: You will need to provide your own leg tags. Baystate Halter Live is a participant in the region 10 tag system. Please contact Lawrence Nichols at (518) 793-2729 or emails lnichol2@nycap.rr.com to obtain your exhibitor number and instructions on creating your tags. You will need to turn in your list of horses and numbers prior to the start of the show.

GENERAL INFO: This is a NAMHSA® (North American Model Horse Shows Association®) qualifying show. Any horse placing 1st or 2nd in either Open Division ONLY will be eligible to show in the 2008 and/or 2009 NAN®. Please read the information about NAN tickets on the NAMHSA website: www.namhsa.org. Please be advised: NAN® is for model HORSES and OTHER EQUINES ONLY. Animals other than equines will not receive NAN tickets. Fun classes held during lunch break are also not eligible for NAN®.

Table space is limited. Each entrant will have half of a large banquet table to set up, so please plan accordingly. Sales tables will be available on a first come, first serve basis.

There will also be a ribbon-recycling program. Please turn in any unwanted flats to the show coordinator at the end of the show. This will also help keep future costs low.

Multiple tables will be used to save time. As one class is being judged the setting up for the next class can be done on the other table. There will be about 2 minutes between classes to allow for halter switching and adjustments.

Classes may be split or combined if number of entries warrant. If there are too few entries in a particular class, the judge may decide to combine it with another similar class in order to warrant first and second place winners a fair NAN qualification.

There will be a 45 minute lunch break around 12:00 pm (or when it is convenient to break). Fun classes will be held at this time.

FUN CLASSES: There will be costume classes during lunch! I make costumes and I LOVE costumes and I thought that it would be a great idea to have a costume class. There will be 2 costume classes during lunch. The first will be a traditional costume class where you can have all your Arabian costumes, Native American costumes, Parade and so on. There will also be a fun costume class where anything goes! Dress your model to look like anything! Be creative!

LUNCH: There are many fast food restaurants in the area that are in very close driving distance. There is a Wendy's, Burger King, McDonald’s and a Domino's pizza all just down the street. There is also a Friendly's a Dunkin Donuts (across from the Pike) and a Big Y Supermarket. We also have use of the kitchen if you wanted to bring anything in and put it in the fridge.

RAFFLE: Any Donations are welcome! Nice OF models, custom models, gift certificates, obstacles. live show quality tack, etc., will be greatly appreciated. If you have anything you would like to donate, please notify the show coordinator when you send in your entry.

DEALER: There may be a Breyer/Stone dealer at the show

RULES: No set-ups or handlers in halter classes. Halters and bridles, if used, must be appropriate to the breed, fit well, and must be put on in a timely fashion.

Collectibility entries: If you want the collectibility judge to consider your model, it is strongly advised you provide a 3"X5" index card explaining why it is collectable. (i.e. "Breyer SR 1 of 350 made). There are so many new models created every year that it is almost impossible for any one judge to be familiar with them all.

Fragile models may be laid on a towel or a piece of felt. The judge reserves the right to pick up and inspect these models.

No radios, pets, or smoking is allowed in the show hall. Bad sportsmanship and poor conduct will not be tolerated, and may be cause for dismissal of those entrants from the show hall. The decision of all judges is final. If you have any questions regarding your entry, address them to a judge immediately after the class is pinned, while the reasons are fresh in the judge's mind.

The show coordinator, judges, and hall cannot be held responsible for loss, damage, theft, or injuries to participants, their property, or to guests. MOST IMPORTANT: HAVE FUN!!!

PONY BREEDS: The Pony Breeds will be split into two divisions: British (British Shetland, Highland, Welsh A, B, & C, Exmoor, Dartmoor, Dales, Fell, Connemara, New Forest, Highland, Hackney, Eriskay, etc.) and Other (Haflinger, Fjord, Chincoteague/Assateague, Potok, Konik, POA, Quarter Pony, Icelandic, Gotland, etc.)

OTHER SPORT/COACHING BREEDS: Thoroughbred crosses, such as the Anglo-Arab, Irish Hunter, and Thorcheron. Orlov Trotters, Finnhorses, Irish Draught, American, Canadian, Morgan Sport Horses, and Appaloosa Sport Horses also make up the Other Sport Horse division. Coaching breeds include the Friesian, Yorkshire Coach Horse, Cleveland Bay, and Dutch Tuigpaard.

OTHER PUREBRED: Any pure breed that does not fit into any of the listed breed categories, such as Akhal-Teke, American Bashkir Curly, Maremmana, Kathiawari, etc.

HALF/PARTBRED/GRADE: Cross-bred horses that do not fit in any other category listed, as well as horses without a pedigree.

PAINT vs. PINTO: Paint refers to the breed. They are of Thoroughbred or Quarter Horse breeding. Other pinto-colored horses should be entered in their appropriate breed class, whether it be a pony, gaited breed, etc. This also applies to appaloosa/spotted horses. They may not actually be an Appaloosa just because it has spots, as in breeds such as the Colorado Ranger, Knabstrup, and Noriker-Pinzgauer. Please place these in the appropriate classes as well.

Please be specific when listing your horses to be registered. Putting “pony” or “warmblood” as the breed is not specific enough. The judge needs to have a specific breed when judging the breed classes, as one breed of pony has different characteristics than that of another pony. It is advised to provide references and photos when showing uncommon breeds. Not only does it help educate the judge to make just pinnings, but also helps to educate fellow showers
