Tagging/Cards
Tagging horses are not required, but recommended. Please only add your initials or your name to identify the model is yours, as many of the same models may be on the table at one time. Make sure your tag is face down during judging so the judge can't identify the model belongs to you.
3 x 5 index Cards will be needed for each horse in each class it is in. If your horse is called back for Champions you will need a separate card. Remember to bring extras. Information needed on each card is as follows;
Class:
Horses Name:
Breed:
Gender:
On the reverse side please make sure owners name is added. In the past it has been very popular and simple to pre-print the cards to cut down on time and legibility. If you are showing a rare or uncommon breed please be sure to add reference material such as a picture and a brief summary of the breed standard, to help in authenticity of the breed and type. Please keep this information to no more than 8-1/2" x 11".
