This event is associated with the ESRPG. This means that horses, characters, and establishments registered with the ESRPG can collect XP for their entries. However, this event is open to all members, and registration is not required for participation.
After many, many, many years - the Aherne Marwin Stallion Show is back for a trial run! Meaning, if things go well, I will try to bring it back to its former glory and frequency.
Quick reminder - only the best stallions get the best scores! So keep your horses groomed to the very last hair on their body, make them shine like there is no tomorrow, and show me what they've got in store to contribute to the next generation of our beloved pixel horses!

As this is a local event, Rotherford Estate is hosting this show in an area near you! You'll not be driving more than 3 hours out of town, so the location should be reflective of your stable's home world. The show grounds should be kept simple, as it is an in-hand show, but remember, this show is returning after a long time of being away, so some celebratory decoration would be nice to see!
[li style="text-align:left;"]Your character and horse must be eligible for the Local Tier to enter.

All entrants receive 100XP points for ESRPG by entering this show. As this is not an ESEF affiliated show you will not be getting and Qualifying Points.
Regarding prizes I was kindly donated the big ingame ribbon mesh by Christina which I have recolored for the first three places. In the case of getting over 50 entries in a single class I will be creating a 4th and a 5th place ribbon for that particular class. A few more prizes come to mind to give you, but those will be posted as created. Anyone who wishes for their establishment to earn XP points can contact me to donate more prizes!
Ribbon graphics will also be provided. All ribbons are of the same size in the game, they are just sized differently on the preview below.
- You need to submit only one image for your entry, but you are welcome to submit more, but please state which one you want judged.
- Horses should be fully visible in the photo (front, back, 3/4 & side angles permitted).
- The entry should feel like a local show.
- The entry must capture the appropriate weather mentioned in the event's details. Keep in mind of the times, so if the forecast says rain after 8PM and the show ends at 7PM you cannot make it rain sooner but it would make good story or photo opportunities for later, now would it...?
- Horses should be turned out within their breed standards. However I will not score down sporthorses with roached manes for practical reasons or horses which genetically have poorer tails.
- Horses should wear a nice, presentable in-hand show halter or a simple bridle WITHOUT A FLASH. Handlers should dress nicely as well. No heels or open-toe shoes! Gloves are preferred but optional.
- Sand, dirt, or grass footing permitted.
- Handlers don't need to visible but preferred to be visible. Keep it realistic, no 20 feet long reins.

I will solely be judging the show via a score sheet you will be able to request after the show closes, just like before.
I will be setting up a poll for the people's choice/fan favourite of each class after the show closes and the results will be posted on the same day, to eliminate the chance that a horse who might have won by judge's choice doesn't get a fan vote just because he "already won something".

Entries are grouped by class, and editing level (edited vs non-edited).
CONFORMATION CLASS
Presenting the horse's conformation in-hand.
MOVEMENT CLASS
Presenting the horse's movement in-hand walk and trot, canter should be presented off a lead with the handler in charge of the horse's direction and pace.
FREE-JUMP CLASS
Presenting the horse's ability to jump. Maximum last jump oxer height 1.40m (140cm)(4.6 feet), so no jumps set at the top of the jump wings.
Editing Levels
This may be determined by the judge or host if they feel an entry has been wrongly categorized for the editing level. Please read the criteria carefully before filling out your entry card.
Unedited Entries: reins, stirrup leathers, clipping fixes, color correction, and DOF/focus blur only. No painting permitted, including on the eye, mane or tail. These should look like photos taken right out of the game. Note: Quality of blur may impact judging.
Edited Entries: All editing allowed including painting and frankensteining. These can be as artsy as you want. Note: Quality and quantity of editing may impact judging.
