How many of you would be interested in an online horse show? we use to do them a lot on another forum I was a memeber of. The way it works is there will be a list of classes such as:

1. Halter color
2. Halter mares
3. Halter geldings
4. Showmanship Open
5. Showmanship 14-17
6. English pleasure 13&UNDER
7. Hunters 2' and under

Etc with western and other fun classes added. The pictures have to be of you and your horse or a horse you ride. You DO NOT have to be in show attire. You just fill our an enry forum:
Name:(can be your user name)
Horses name:
Class #:
Picture:

Once there are some enteries then they will be judged. If you are interested please select yes and if not then just say no, this would just be for fun :D if it is a series show, the top three "finalists" can go onto the Champion show. Once I get at least 50-100 votes we will see if this is possible.

Yeah.. thats what I had in mind.. But I am open as well! LOL! I know different breeds, and breed followers tend to click together when it comes to showing and confirmation issues, LOL! Whats cool about this site, is that there are so many here, and with a huge variety, I think a person could easily get away with breaking into a little more specific "showings".

Whats your thoughts??

hehe that sounds like a good idea to me :D. I'm going to wait for a few more votes (if there is anyone else who wishes to vote). Then I am sure it wouldn't be a problem adding in some breed specific classes. I'd love to have some real prizes but I can't affored anything right now. What I am thinking is having a show or two to see how many people are interested and if there is a fair amount then I'll offer up some goodies lol.

I would love to have an x-mas show so I am going to lower my number of voters to 35 and till I get that number I am going to work on a class list. I'm hoping to add some fun classes such as:

Best x-mas picture
BEst decorated Barn

Best decorated Stall etc.

Hope I can spark some interest :D

I've started with just Halter, Showmanship, and English. I just finished Hunter Hack and I've got 104 classes :shock:. I'm going to start with the Western classes, if someone would like some jumper or hunter classes added feel free to let me know.

Oh goodness - here's a list of classes that I came up off the top of my head. Some will probably need to be divided between styles, like stock horse vs H/J HUS vs others. But here goes nothing

Halter
Performance Halter
Showmanship
Lungeline
HUS
Eq
Hunter Hack
Working Hunter
Eq over fences
Jumping
WP
Horsemanship
Western Riding
Trail (maybe English and Western)
Reining
Heading
Heeling
calf roping
break-away
cutting
barrels
poles
stakes

everything I bolded I've got classes for. I'll add in some trail classes and reining as well. I want to add some Gym. classes but do you think they will get any enteres?? I just need about 8 more votes and I am ready to go hehe :D

Just a little up-date I've added in some trail classes and just fun classes such as bearback etc.

I have 188 classes with over 34 different possible high points. I have APHA high points, AQHA, and Open.

I love the idea! Only thing... I live in Australia and have no idea what most of those classes are... We don't have hunters or jumpers, and cause i don't ride western I have never seen HUS, WP, Trail, or showmanship... Here we do things like rider class, hack class, Hunter ( I think it's different to your hunter ) In hand/halter. We have Showjumping and Equitation for jumping. So I would be very confused! Love the idea of adding in barrells/bending, that sort of thing.

Also, not too many classes that need video, as I know I for one have no idea how to load a video, let alone the time or person to take one! Lol.

But it sounds like a good idea, we did this a lot here when EI had locked down horse movements.

Hunters is very easy. It's just a picture of you and your horse jumping the height given. However in a hunter class the horse with the most square look to their front legs will have the best chance of winning. I believe a hack class is just like a pleasure class and EQ stands for EQ(Not sure if you knew) and the trail class is just preforming a pattern with some obsticles.

We don't do EQ on the flat though, it's over jumps... Oh and also the heights for the jump classes, would it be too difficult to have a conversion? I have no idea about feet! We measure in Centimetres/metres.

Hack is different to pleasure, cause we have a pleasure class here where you have to ride in a snaffle, one handed, on a loose rein... Whereas hack is ridden in a frame similar to dressage, but a little different.

Wow there are a lot of differences!

I think that this is a great idea. The only down side for me is that now that its winter I can only ride my horse outside in the freezing cold. We also get a ton of snow here so I wont be posting any pictures as I wont be riding that much. But I still think that it is a great idea!!!
