The Pony Bytes galleries for this summer’s BreyerFest CYAN Shows open on Friday this week, so if you’re registered for the Children’s, Youth, or Adult Novice Model Horse Photo Shows, make sure you complete your trial upload by then so that you’re prepped to start moving your photos to their galleries!
If you’re new to the world of model horse showing and wondering what the deal is, we have a great intro post herethat offers a quick overview of the concept of model horse photo showing. For younger and newer showers who feel they are not yet ready for the competition of the Open Photo Show, these shows are the perfect opportunity for you to learn more and get your hooves wet!
The purpose of the Children’s Show is to provide a novice level fun show for children up to age 12. Halter classes are designed to teach children how to match models with breed assignments. Documentation is optional, but recommended for unusual breeds. English and Western Pleasure classes are designed to teach entrants how to correctly tack up and present a model, and will be accompanied by helpful critiques to encourage each entrant to build on strengths and how to improve entries. The Scene, Most Loved, and Other Performance classes help teach entrants to develop an idea and present a model in a context, accompanied by a brief narrative of the scenario. The Collectability classes provide entrants with a background in evaluating collectability.
The purpose of the Youth Show is to build on the skills developed in the Children's show, and prepare entrants aged 13-16 for the level of competition in the BreyerFest Open Show. You do not need to have participated in the Children’s Show in order to show in the Youth Show. Halter classes include a requirement for documentation of breed assignments, to demonstrate research skills. Performance classes are designed to enhance the entrants' skill in tacking up and presenting a model under saddle. Scene and costume classes provide an opportunity to develop a theme or idea. The Collectability classes provide entrants with a background in evaluating collectability. If you are 13-16 and already showing in the “open” divisions of NAN-qualifying shows, you should show in the BreyerFest Open show.
The purpose of the Adult Novice Show is to provide a place for those 17 and over to experience the world of model horse showing at the introductory level. The goal is to encourage new showers to build the skills for the level of competition in the BreyerFest Open Show. Halter classes include a requirement for documentation of breed assignments, to demonstrate research skills. Performance classes are designed to enhance the entrants' skill in tacking up and presenting a model under saddle. Scene and costume classes provide an opportunity to develop a theme or idea. The Collectability classes provide entrants with a background in evaluating collectability.
These three shows happen independently of each other, so you’re only competing against other participants in your same show, though all three shows do run concurrently online. Model horse photo showing is also a great way to learn more about real horses!
