Please keep the show tables clear and do not interrupt the judges during a class. NOTE: For insurance reasons, animals/pets are not permitted in the show hall at any time.
PRIZES

DIVISIONS
Original Finish Plastic
Models that are as sold from the Stone Company, part of a "run" of like models. In this division, invisible repairs are acceptable, but any models that have been modified from their original state in any way, or with obvious touch-ups/repairs, must compete in the custom division.
Simple OOAK/Test-run models (no changes to original body mold) may show EITHER in the appropriate breed class -OR- in the Factory Custom/Extreme Makeover division. Otherwise, all OF models that have been modified by the Stone Factory or its designees, or have been advertised or sold as Factory Custom or Extreme Makeover editions, must show in that division. Chips and Pebbles must show in the Chips/Pebbles division.
The show will adhere to the posted classlist as much as possible; however, at the showholder's discretion, very large classes may be split in consultation with the division judge. No class with less than 20 entries will be split.
Custom/Workmanship Divisions
Includes all Stone models that have been repainted, haired, resculpted, or modified in any way. Examples may include, but are not limited to: hairing, mane/tail changes, limbs or body parts moved (i.e. head turned, leg position changed) corrected conformation flaws or enhanced facial features.
At the showholder's discretion, simple custom (i.e. repainted only) models may be split from drastic custom models if the number of entries warrants such a separation.

CLASS ENTRIES & JUDGING CRITERIA
Models may compete in ONE halter class only. Part-breds should enter the class that best fits the horse's type. Halters are optional, but if used should be correct for breed shown and may be penalized for improper fit/type.
OF Plastic and Custom halter entries will be evaluated according to the criteria listed below:
1. Biomechanics/Anatomy (i.e. basic conformation, crooked legs, blobby joints, hoof not touching ground)
2. Breed assignment (using current standards unless historical documentation is provided)
Appropriate breed/color documentation is strongly encouraged
3. Finish & workmanship (crispness/clarity of markings, shading, facial details, etc)
4. Judge's impression
Performance entries will be evaluated according to the criteria listed below:
1. Ability of entry to safely perform the task shown (biomechanics/anatomy)
2. Correctness & fit of tack and equipment, including rider/handler dolls
3. Appropriate setup of props/livestock/obstacles (i.e. flags for jumper fences, correct gait for Arab costume class
4. Supporting documentation
Please note that OF and custom models will compete together in the performance division.
There will be a NAN judge's manual, USA Equestrian (formerly AHSA) rulebook, and breed reference books on site for judges and entrants to consult.
RESULTS/NAN TICKETS
Official show results will include first through fifth place in each class, and will be posted on the show website within 30 days of the show date.
First and second place equid entries in each NAMHSA qualifying class will receive a NAN ticket. Please fill out the information on the ticket as soon as possible. This ticket is your only proof that the model is eligible to enter NAN!
LABELING
Please provide a 3x5 card for each model---one for each class entered. For example, if your Ideal Stock Horse is entered in OFP halter and two different performance classes, then you would need to make three cards---one for each class.
On the front of the 3x5 card, please write the entry's BREED and GENDER. Age is optional (and should be included if it directly affects judging criteria or breed standards). On the back of the 3x5 card, please write the HORSE'S NAME and OWNER'S FULL NAME.
When you place your entry on the show table, please be sure the FRONT side of the card is face-up (breed and gender). When the judge is ready to record the class placings, he/she will turn the cards over.
FUN CLASSES
Fun classes are not NAN-qualifying classes and will not be eligible for NAN tickets. The Custom by Owner class is open to all novice artists who have not sold a customized model.
