Model Show Information

Do you have a Clydesdale Breyer or Stone Model you would like to show off at the World Clydesdale Show in October 2007?
 

For all of you who have those lovely Breyer or Stone models sitting on a shelf. Or maybe you have a hand made or antique multiple hitch that you couldn't resist and picked up at a lovely little antique store or rummage sale. Here's your opportunity to participate in the World Clydesdale Show. Saturday morning October 13, 2007, starting at 9 am on the lower concourse of the coliseum there will be an All Draft Model Horse Show. Anyone can enter and show. There will be both Youth and Adult classes and a couple of 'Novice Youth' classes for those who have never attended a Model Show.

For experienced exhibitors and those with multiple entries, you will need to reserve table space. For those with just a couple of entries you can come to the lower concourse of the coliseum between 8 and 9 am. There will be a Table fee and entry fees, but novice classes will be free and newcomers with just one or two horses to show can be paired up with a more experienced exhibitor. Classes will include halter, under saddle, showmanship, harness, single and multiple hitches, farm classes, obstacle driving and a Special 'Clydesdale hitched to two wheel vehicle' for Youth with cash awards sponsored by Schuler Farms, LLC.

A complete class list, entry form and rules will be posted soon. Anyone with questions can contact Kathy Lindsey, World Clydesdale Show Education Coordinator at 920-775-4615 or mahal@lakefield.net.
