Model Horse Competitions: Beyond Collecting
Ranked #14,896 in Hobbies, Games & Toys, #229,828 overall | Donates to Squidoo Charity Fund, March of Dimes
You mean, people "show" toy horses?
What is a live show?
Live shows are judged by fellow hobbyists and artists, and horses are judged on their finish and realism in finish classes, suitability for the discipline you are showing them under in performance classes, adherence to breed standards in breed classes, etc.
Scaled-down, realistic model horse tack-such as saddles and bridles-take a lot of time and skill to create, and often some ingenuity to get positioned and adjusted correctly on the horse. Sticky wax is a live shower's duct tape.
First and foremost, this is an opportunity for hobbyists to get together, admire each others' collections and favorites, buy/sell/trade horses and tack, and have fun with like-minded individuals. The general public is often welcome, but strongly discouraged from touching any model without asking first ... some are fragile, and many are valued in the thousands of dollars!
STOP!
My limited live showing experience

My custom etchies were first shown and placed at Millbrook Live, Grand Rapids, MI on 22-May-1999 (TB took 2nd in HUGE halter class, Drafter took a 5th)

My customs were again shown and placed at Blue Water Classic, Kalamazoo, MI on 25-Sep-1999 (Huck took 3rd in an extremely competitive custom Arabian halter class)

My simple etched Breyer Stablemates were also shown at the MMHL Mini Live Show, Charlotte, MI on 15-Jan-2000 (doing quite nicely in tough company)
What is a photo show?
Most collectors get their start in the "show ring" by entering a photo show. The judging is much the same as above, but you set your horse up at home with a realistic background and props, take a photo, and send it to the judge. There are entry fees and different classes to enter, and usually ribbons or other premiums for the winners.Flaws on a horse that is not LSQ (live show quality) can often be hidden in a photo, so be wary of the term PSQ (photo show quality) when purchasing a custom or original finish horse or prop.

- Very informative! Having collected Breyer horses and shown real horses for several years, and I never know that you could show model horses! At my age, it seems safer than showing the real ones!
