Welcome to the American Quarter Horse Registry! Here you will find a host of events run monthly to get experience for your horse. Each show will have an RNG level run as well as an effort level, so you must specify which one your horse will be entering. We have both western and English events.

Rules

Entry MUST be made ONLY for this show. (No reusing unjudged entries, no entering one entry into multiple shows).
A single horse can only enter a class once, but riders can enter a single class multiple times.
A horse can be entered in as many classes as you want.
Please credit your refs and follow the rules of stock providers.
Collabs are NOT allowed EXCEPT for team penning and pas de deux in dressage (if they are run).
No commissioned works or premade outlines allowed. You MUST do your own work.
Any breed can enter, but magical powers can’t be used to your advantage.
Blurred backgrounds, premade brushes, and tracing are allowed, but you will get 1 point added if you use none of these.
Admins can enter the show, but will not be part of judging the particular class they enter.

BRR Tiffany Morgan

-Evaluates conformation of the horse. Horses are shown with a leather halter and are traveled before judges so that lameness and quality of movement can be evaluated. Horses are judged on balance, structural correctness, breed and sex characteristics and degree of muscling. Of these, balance is the most important.

Prizes

Money prizes will be divided up 60% for 1st place 30% for 2nd place and 10% for 3rd place. Reminder that this is NOT a real money prize, but fictional money that can be used for story purposes and character references.

Ribbons

Grand Champion Ribbon

1st Place Ribbon

2nd Place Ribbon

3rd Place Ribbon

Participation Ribbon (4th Place and Up)

Judging

Entries are judged by the overall effort of the singular piece. It isn't judged against your gallery or against other competitors, but how much work you put into this one entry. Details and creativity are what we mostly look for.

A grand champion will be chosen in each monthly show and will be for whichever horse won the most points, so putting your horse in more than one class will up your chances of this reward. This is for effort entries only!

Judges choice may also be chosen, but not necessarily each month. This will be for a single entry that truly stands out to the judges. A special ribbon will be added before the month is over.

Effort (Horse): 1 - 10
Effort (Background): 1 - 10
Effort (Handlers/Riders): 0 - 5
Creativity: 1 - 5
Accuracy (Location/Weather): 1 - 3
0: no story
1: up to 100 words
2: 101 - 200 words
3: 201 - 300 words
4: 301 - 400 words
5: 401 - 500+ words
