REFERRAL RAFFLE HERE

Welcome, welcome to Chicken Smoothie's first (that I know of) Horse show!
This is a fun event that encourages all horse lovers on CS to gather together. Everyone is encouraged to join, all art (and writing) skills are welcome to join! If you have any questions, ask away!

To compete in the show, you need to draw your horse 'competing' in a certain event. Each event will have certain requirements. For example: this is one of my entries for a showing jumping competition. Each entry gets judged on certain aspects.

● All breeds of horses are allowed, fantasy or realisitic
● Traditional and digital art allowed
● You can enter as many horses in the show as you like! One entry per horse per event.

This is the first time I've run something like this, and I'm basing it on HARPG shows I've seen on Deviantart. Somethings may not work out, but I will try and fix as many things as possible. This whole show will be edited and worked on over the duration and I will post updates/keep you all informed. Thanks for checking the show out! Have fun c:

Info welcome to the beautiful location for Chicken Smoothie's 2016 Horse show!! This section is all about setting the scene, and to make roleplaying / writing easier.

The CS Horse Show takes place in the southern hemisphere, where it is currently summer. It's being held next to Purpley's stable, Merrydown where all your horses will be stabled. When you arrive, the showground is colourful and the weather is stunning. The event takes place over 3 days, with varied weather patterns.

First day:
- Welcome ceremony
- Horses are shown to their stables
- The riders have a chance to look around the venue.
- In the afternoon, Pulling takes place
- In the evening, the Showing event takes place

Temp: 15 - 20 degrees celcius
Its a sunny and rather hot morning that greets
both riders and horses. The afternoon clouds
over but stays fine for the rest of the day.

in the afternoon. A few games between the riders take
place in the evening, and many go for walks around the grounds.

Temp: 14 - 25 degrees celcius
The air is a little crisp in the morning
but stays fine and sunny for the rest of the day.
There's a slight breeze the whole day
and a few showers in the evening.

Info This is the list of all the events running in this year's show! Since this is the first time this is running, the categories are basic ones you'd see in a real life show. If it runs again next year, the categories will be tweaked. Please keep checking back as I may add some more events as the show goes on.

● I understand some breeds are based in a fantasy world and humans don't have a part in their lives.
If you own horses that fall under this category, you are free to draw your horse competing the event without a rider.

● It is highly encouraged to draw your horse and rider wearing appropriate gear, each event has information about the correct gear. Each event takes place in a certain place, and images of what the area looks like is detailed in each section.

● Entries must have a background to be accepted. (writing excluded) Photo backgrounds are accepted, please use stock backgrounds that allow you to use them. If you use a photo background, you must credit the photographer.

● Certain events require a rider, and will be marked out as so.

● Certain events are for specific breeds, please check!

Are you a writer over an artist? I've added a category for you writers out there c:

about show jumping is where horse and rider completes a course consisting of several different jumps. The horse who completes the course in the quickest amount of time and least amount of penalties (A penalty is awarded if a horse knocks a pole off the jump, or finishes the course over the time limit) wins.

R E Q U I R E SxR I D E R

about dressage is considered the highest expression of horse training as it requires both horse and rider to memorize a routine to music. There are certain movements the horse is required to perform and to do well the horse needs to be well behaved.

requirements your horse and rider need to be dressed correctly ( Dressage attire example). The horse will be required to walk, trot and canter around the arena to music.

location This event takes place in the arena.

about Showing is an event that doesn't require the horse to be ridden. The horse is 'shown' around the arena, lead by their rider. The horse is required to walk, trot and sometimes canter and jump. The horse and rider must stand still i The aim is to show off your horse and how well behaved it is.

requirements any horse can compete in this event! Foals included. You do not have to draw your rider with the horse, but your entry must include at least a headshot of your horse with a background.
Examples: 01. 02.

location Halter will also take place in the arena.

about Choose an event that your horse would like to compete in and writing about it! Describe the atmosphere, detail how you, the rider, felt. If you're competing without a rider, describe the horse's senses. This category will be judged on creativity and how well it has been written.

requirements Writings should be 300 words min - 1000 words max. In your entry, you describe your horses performance in a certain event.

Notes Depending on the total number of entries, the writing entries will be judged seperately or in their respective classes. I'm not sure if this is a good idea currently but we'll see eyy
