Virtual Youth/Novice Percheron Horse Show

August 15, 2020 - September 15, 2020

Free

With the advent of most fairs being cancelled, we have decided to launch a virtual show that youth can still participate in while having fun. There will be some still shot
classes and some video classes. Initially we will offer this at no charge to PHAoA members to see how attendance goes.

We would have some traditional classes, as those that are held at fairs, along with some non-tradtional classes that would be similar to those that would have been held at
the Youth and Novice Congress in Madison, Wisconsin. The goal is to engage our youth/novice members in a fun way, with some constructive criticism from the judges.
This is to be similar to other online horse shows that have occurred such as https://www.globalshowing.co.uk and www.horseshowsonline.co.uk.

Rules:

Classes will be based predominantly on showmanship, horsemanship, and reinsmanship. Attire should be clean, neat and appropriate for the specific discipline being performed. Formal show clothes are not required and will not be considered in judging. Similarly, harness can be clean work harness vs. a show harness. Cart classes must use a 2-wheel-cart or forecart. Team classes can use practice wagons or carriages. Saddles and bridles should be appropriate for the discipline being shown. Again, show equipment can be used, but it is not necessary and will not have bearing on placings, unless the equipment appears unsafe.
Each exhibitor will be assigned a number; you will be identified by number throughout judging. Placings, once listed, will list your name along with horse’s name(s).
Each horse/team may be used once in each class, however each exhibitor can submit up to two entries per class using different animals.
Classes will be split by age, where numbers warrant. Age brackets will be 6-9, 10-13, 14-18, and adult. High point awards will be submitted to age groups based upon these brackets, or youth and adult, again, depending on numbers.
Entries are to be submitted by midnight on the deadline given. They will be put into a Dropbox, reviewed by judge(s), and critiquing will be submitted thereafter;

Cost:
The first month will be FREE. If we have enough interest, we can expand and develop payback classes and/or ribbons. Your participation the first month will help determine if it is
worth continuing. Suggestions, comments are encouraged. Results will be posted on a monthly basis, on the Association Facebook page and in the Postscript. By submitting photos and videos, you are agreeing to allow the PHAoA the ability to use these submittals for reprint.
