Doyou think the shows are just a real pain to judge? Have you seen those humungous shows with the never-ending classlist in the AIMHC newsletters? Personally, I hate them. So I think we should have smaller, more specific shows. I think we could have halter shows, liberty shows, gender, breed, showmanship... you could go on and on and on. The number of classes would be small. I think this is the way to go because a) it's fun/different for the entrants and b) it's easier and could be even fun for us! It works both ways ;D Don't you just love my idea? I know I do I think these little shows could even replace the fortnightly shows, and even may turn back into weekly ones.

OK I won't write all the words I was gonna say, I'll just show you my idea. ;D -Cycle Idea-
January
Fortmonthly Show Advertised in first week of month.
Halter Show Advertised First week of month. Halter Show runs after two weeks.
Performance Show Advertised as soon as Halter Show is run. Performance Show runs after two weeks.
February
Gender Show Advertised as soon as Perf. Show is run. Gender Show runs after two weeks.
Breed Show Advertised as soon as Gender show is run. Breed show runs after two weeks.
Fortmonthly Show is run after two months.
March
Fortmonthly Show Advertised in first week of month.
Halter Show Advertised First week of month. Halter Show runs after two weeks.
Performance Show Advertised as soon as Halter Show is run. Performance Show runs after two weeks.
April
Gender Show Advertised as soon as Perf. Show is run. Gender Show runs after two weeks.
Breed Show Advertised as soon as Gender show is run. Breed show runs after two weeks.
Fortmonthly Show is run after two months.
ETC. ETC.
Do you get it? I think it's pretty snazzy. But I think everyone's probably going to hate me for it. xD This keeps the 'monthly' show as a larger competition. And I'll even judge it all if no one else can be bothered. It will have rings just like the ones now. Then the 'special' shows can be split up into say size or something so it doesn't get overcrowded but still stays relatively small. The topics could even change to whatever, although I think those four are a good main four to start with. So what do you think? Tell me honestly. And if you guys all hate it that's ok. I just wanted to share my idea through all this turmoil.

I really like the general idea, Rusty! Yes, a nice flow would be a good change to our holter-de-polter style at the moment It is confusing but I think I understand it. But the fortmonthly shows? Hmm... I really like your plan though, but maybe we could change around minor things. I think after we finish the shows for this month, we can make a start on this groovy new plan An ODE means One Day Event - an event judged over the three olympic disciplines - dressage, cross country and showjumping. But you prolly know that, just not the abbreviation

I'm glad you like it. Yea I know about One Day Events and stuff just didn't know the abbrev. But I don't see how PC or ODE show would be different for a performance show. But I can't really enter those shows cause I don't have performance stuff.

hey peoples, i think giselle and rusty's idea's are great! =D and tandara i like your thoughts for a PC or ODE show... only because i have quite a bit of gear for it, but i can understand if others arent so keen. anyway the smaller shows seem a great idea, and rusty's little time table is great... a little confusing, but im sure it can be worked out. as long as everyone here can get ready for a rude shock..... organisation!!!!! hahaha

PC games would be different beacause we could make some of the pc rules apply. like the fact that you can use stock, english, or even a western saddle if you like, in the hack classes. and games like sack races and egg and sthingy races and stuff. that way, if you only have one set of tack and one rider, it doesnt matter.

Yeah. We're getting a little off the topic here, but I guess it's all settled then. I'm off to Red Hill show at Treehaven, so I won't be back on here until Monday night, or Sunday night if we get back early. Loz (Hurlz - the admin that's never on) is coming with me, so it won't be so boring when we're waiting for the next class I'll lock this thread now, because we've all made our points and we'll keep the chatting to the Chat board If there's any other concern about the new smaller shows, fortnightly changes, etc. post it here to keep it away from the public at first so we can sort it out quickly without everyone chatting in between I'm so mean, aren't I? Seeya *waves*
