NOTE: If you pay your fees and then discover you will not be able to attend the show, please contact the show holder as soon as possible so that someone else from the waiting list can be notified that a spot has opened up. Refunds will not be available until after the show has been held and in order to receive a refund, you must notify the show holder at least 48 hrs before the show.
LIMIT ON NUMBER OF ENTRANTS: There will be a cap on the number of entries available for this show. I don't know yet what it will be, but it will likely be around 38-40 tables. Once I have met with the hotel staff and figured out how the setup will be done, then I can post the final limit on the number of available tables. If the tables fill up, I will have a waiting list just in case someone has to cancel.
Show Hall: The show is being held at a brand-new hotel, the Best Western Atrea in Bryan, just off the Hwy 6 bypass (exit on Boonville Road, then turn right on Austin’s Colony Parkway). Once I have the contract signed with them and the rooms reserved, then I will post the information on getting rooms at the Atrea to this web page. HOTEL IS NOT READY TO ACCEPT RESERVATIONS FOR THIS EVENT YET.
HOTELS & MOTELS: If you don't want to stay at the show hall hotel, then any of the hotels listed on University Drive in College Station, or on the Earl Rudder Freeway (Hwy 6 bypass) are fairly new and should be fine. At the other end of the Bypass to the south of College Station, there is a recently renovated Howard Johnson motel that should be fairly inexpensive. If you have a question about any of the hotels, contact me at the address above. Here is the local tourist information hotel link: http://www.visitaggieland.com/Accommodations.aspx?main=638-pnl0Item0-5&id=25 There are also hotels in Hearne to the north and Navasota to the south.
Class LimitS: All entries will be limited to FOUR (4) horses per person per class in halter and THREE (3) horses per person per class in performance.

Experienced youth (those who have entered at least 2 youth shows) may elect to participate in the Open Division if they wish.
3. Halter classes may be split by gender, size, or breed origin if entries warrant. Only one class per horse per division, and foals/weanlings/yearlings may only show in the Foal classes. No halters, set-ups, or handlers permitted in halter classes
4. OF Plastic Halter and Collectability classes will be judged simultaneously by two judges, with one judge basing decisions on breed characteristics/conformation/condition of the model, and the other judge basing decisions on the collectability/rarity/condition of the model.
5. Collectability halter classes, all horses must have a card giving the collectable information including name of mold, number in run, when produced, etc. Horses without collectability information may not be judged for collectability (this is at the judge's discretion and judges are not required to use a horse in a class without its collectability information). Non-realistic colors, Decorator colors and Woodgrains, etc. should be shown in the regular halter classes for the most appropriate breed but will be judged only on collectability merits and will only be eligible to earn a non-breed halter NAN card. Please limit documentation on no larger than 5.5 x 8.5 inches (half a page).
6. Performance classes should have explanation cards or pages explaining the type of performance or showing patterns if the horse is performing a pattern (as in trail or dressage). Please limit documentation to no larger than 8.5 x 11 inches. The exception to this would be common classes such as huntseat pleasure or western pleasure, which do not need any documentation. No extra setups or props allowed in saddleseat/park, huntseat, or western pleasure classes. Rider/handler dolls are optional in most performance classes; however, showmanship entries will need at least one handler doll.
