WORKMANSHIP/FINISH WORK BY OWNER AMATEUR: This class is for models you customized and/or painted. No collaborations. An amateur is a person who engages in a pursuit on an unpaid rather than a professional basis. If you have ever sold a model for money, please enter the next class. (No NAN cards)

OF OTHER PLASTIC includes all other plastic model horse manufacturers. Please show your Schleich, Copperfox, WIA, Breyer CollectA line, Hartland, Papo, Blue Ribbon, Royal Breeds, Safari, Mojo, Marx, Julip, and others here. These may have soft hair. They can be any size. These will start after OF STONE CLASSES.
OF ALL MAKES EQUINE DECORATOR/FANTASY will not receive NAN cards. These will start after OF BREYER BREED CLASSES.
CM EQUINE DECORATOR/FANTASY will be eligible for NAN qualification in the workmanship division. CM/AR Fantasy Equine entries will be judged based on the artistry of the sculpture, lack of prepping and painting flaws, overall presentation, and believability of the creature's biomechanics. These classes will start after the CM division.
Fantasy Equine eligibility is limited to equine-based fantasy models such as Equine Unicorns, Pegasus, Hippocampus, Hippogriff, Thestral, Zombie Horse, Skeletal Horse, or other fantasy equines which depict a creature that is at least 50% equine in form. Determination of the 50% compliance for equine creatures is decided by the judge. Approval of the 50% compliant equine models at the local show level does not guarantee eligibility at NAN. Creatures that have partial human anatomy or anatomy similar to humans are not allowed even if they are more than 50% equine.
A person may not show and judge in the same division at a NAN-Qualifying Show. A division is defined as one or more grouped classes such as “OF Breyer Plastic”.
A judge may not judge any model that he/she has worked/collaborated on. A judge may not judge any model which he/she owns or has owned within the last six months. A judge may not judge models owned by relatives of the judge. A judge may not judge any models owned by any individual who co-owns one or more models with that judge. This means that on rare occasions a shower may be asked not to show a specific model. Last-minute changes to the judges' roster cannot be made to accommodate a model.
NAN entry qualifications earned at NAMHSA member shows are provided to entrants in the form of NAN cards. These cards are now the only proof of a model’s NAN qualification. Show entrants will be responsible for filling out the class/horse information on the card.

FAQ:
IS THIS SHOW NAMSHA APPROVED? Yes. NAN cards will be awarded to first and second place in breed classes, select lunch classes, and the CM Equine Decorator/Fantasy division.
WHY PLASTIC? I'm hoping that show with a focus on original finish and custom horses will bring together collectors and artists who love Breyer, Stone, and Schleich models. With three rings (six divisions) running concurrently showers will be able to focus on their show string with fewer distractions!
WHY SECOND PLACE HORSES FOR CALL BACKS? If, for example, the judge had two lovely Appaloosas in one class and they were the best representation of real horses in the entire Stock Horse division the second place Appy could place as the Reserve Champion over the first place Quarter Horse.
WHAT SIZE IS MY HORSE?
Traditional: These are Breyer/Stone's large models at 1:9 Scale. Adult horses are about 12 inches long by 9 inches high.
Classic/Freedom Series: Breyer's mid-size models at 1:12 Scale. Adult horses are about 9 inches long by 7 inches high.
Curio: Breyer Paddock Pals/Little Bits and Collectas, Stone Pebbles, and Schleich Models are in the 1:18 to 1:24 scale range and about 5 inches long by 4 inches high.
Stablemate/Chips: Originally 1:32 Scale, these have been inching up over time. Adult horses are about 4 inches long by 3 inches high.
Micro/Mini Whinny: 1:64 Scale. Adult horses are about 2 inches long by 1.5 inches high.
WHY ARE CM CURIOS NOT IN WITH CM MINIS? Curio scale has an advantage over Stablemates and Micros when it comes to customs because that size is more conducive to details like hair-by-hair dapples and pinto markings.
WHY ARE THE CLASS LISTS DIFFERENT FOR DIFFERENT DIVISIONS? I hope that the class lists will reflect the molds available to be shown in that division. I imagine that there are more opportunities for a CM Donkey than for an OF Peter Stone one. I did my best to not waste the judges' time by calling classes without entries. The classes also reflect that more showers collect Breyers than other plastic makes. I hope this will let the show run smoothly.
I SELL MODELS THAT I PAINT FOR $35. CAN I SHOW IN WORKMANSHIP/FINISH WORK BY OWNER AMATEUR BECAUSE I DON'T CHARGE WHAT BIG-NAME ARTISTS DO? No.
WHY NO NAN CARDS FOR OF ALL MAKES EQUINE DECORATOR/FANTASY? Yellow NAN cards for OF models is based on collectibility of the model. This division will not be judged on age/rarity/collectibility. It will be judged on beauty, color, and uniqueness of the models. Please bring your current runs as well as your OOAKs. Do enter your vintage models in the OF Vintage (pre-1980) lunch class.
CAN I SUPPORT THE SHOW? Yes. Donations to the raffle will help pay for the 1,280 paper flats, the 112 double-layer champion and reserve ribbons, and the 18 rosettes. Please contact Sarah at sarahtregay@yahoo.com before the show regarding a donation or bring something on the day show.
CAN I GET A BIGGER TABLE? You may be put on a waitlist for a larger table. If one becomes available, you will be notified.
CAN I SELL MODELS FROM MY TABLE? Yes.
WILL THERE BE RIBBON RECYCLING? Yes, you may give your ribbons back at the end of the day if you wish.
