Since the breyer/stone ring is large cause most people have quite a few of them, perhaps splitting up the breeds a bit more? Suggested breed classes below, I have been involved with models for years, used to run photo and live shows and this is pretty much a good, workable list for the breeds, and does not add too many more to what is already there, just splitting up the more 'popular' breeds.
* Arabian (Pure) * Thoroughbred (Pure) * Warmblood (Pure - warmbloods only, mixed warmblood breeds OK so long as no other breed) * Quarter Horse (Pure) * Paint (those with QH, TB or paint breeding only. Not to contain any other breeds except these three.) * Appaloosa (only with QH, TB, Arab or ASH breeding only - no other breeds) * Pony (open to any breed pony) * Draft (pure draught breed, no crosses) * Gaited (TWH, ASB, MFT, Paso) * Spanish (Andalusian, Lusitano, Lippizaner etc) * Other Pure Breed * Mixed Breed
With the colour classes, a separate class for paint and pinto would be great. Paint horses are those of QH and TB breeding (combined with the paint), pinto horses are all other breeds. (As per the Paint horse society of Australia). Or could be split into tobiano and overo/other pattern but that is harder as a lot of people don't understand the difference - I'm only just starting to get the hang of it myself!

i think that would be a much better way for the shows to be run, i think some of the breyer classes are a little too overcrowded. that list you have above splits them up nicely

true, but the breyer ring is always stacked with horses maybe belinda's idea of classes could only be for the breyer ring, as the others arent so popular. i dont know, we'll see what others seem to think about the issue. im all for it, but it doesnt bother me a whole lot the way it is ^^

Hmmm classes sound good. BUt I don't know about the colour class if you really have to worry about breeding. I don't think they would be largely over crowded classes anyway. I personally don't like the idea of stud points, because just having less models than another person gives others an unfair advantage. I don't think that studs should be in competition, just the horses, cause horses can only enter in so many classes themselves. (unlike studs who can enter up to 5x the number of classes in the show) I agree with Kurrawinya as well, if we could have performance classes and then say English and Western where you can do anything other than technical performance like fun riding or warming up etc. And a scene class would be good too.

yep i totally agree with kyree spot on lol, i think only the horses should be in competition, not the studs as a whole. i think we should get together a group of 2 or 3 (id be happy to help) who would be in charge of tallying each horse's point every week. I know this would be alot of work, but i think it would make the club alot more interesting, and give people something to really strive for. This could also lead into the awards and things for the end of the year. the only way that tis idea could work is if there is 1 point tallier for each category (ie, 1 for breyer/ps, 1 for resins, and 1 for other brands). The judge of each of the categories are responsible for sending their results to the tallier of their category. Then the tallier can count the points awarded for each horse per week. what do people think of that as a possibility? id be happy to be a tallier if anyone else is interested. ^^

oh and i know what you mean kurrawinya, im only new here, but i can understand where you are coming from, maybe we could keep the stud points, and add in the horse points table as well? or would that be too much?

Sounds good. I agree with both of you, exept about striving for stud points. But everyone runs there 'stables' differently so I'm not saying your wrong. Although (it might be more complicated) But maybe a performance and then halter charts would be best, cause like Kurrawinya said, some people can't do performance. But then we might be getting too complicated. Our minds are bursting with ideas and the site can't contain them! *runs around trying to catch ideas and keep them on the site* xD

haha i agree, it will be alot of work, but im sure we could manage horse points as well as stud points. as long as a few peoples chip in and feel like helping with it. see what others think anyway. as for the split classes that belinda suggested im all for it. and maybe performance and halter could be split. i dunno.. it is getting complicated! haha ^^

Woah woah woah.... too many good ideas xD myspacebarisn'tworkinggrrrr... okay, there we go. Jazz and I have been talking about this issues for a long time now. One of my ideas was for each stud to nominate 5 of their horses to collect points from shows for one month and have a champion at the end. This way, we don't have to tally up every horse's points. Also, the horses can only recieve the points if they have at least two other competitors in the class - then this comes to the issue with the Other Brands ring. We still have yet to think up an ingenious solution to this problem >.< Yes the stud points are unfair, and gives studs with alot of horses a huge advantage, but we think these seperate horse charts will even it out a bit. And CPS, thankyou! We will definately use your classlist, but you know what I think we should do? With the weekly shows I think we could scrap the breeds and colours, but just have stuff like scene classes, liberty, performance, type (like light, medium, heavy, spanish, gaited etc. ) as well as the halter classes. Okay, I think I've covered everything for now
