Entries: revolver-waffle.deviantart.com…
So you've sent Penny to the broodmare pasture after the end of her show days, or Lucky is finally getting the chance to enjoy his well deserved rest.....but retired doesn't mean forgotten, right? Here's your chance to have your old horse relive it's glory days, with the Better with Age mini show!
RULES
Now a full show, so while I still take headshots and the like, judging will be a bit harsher.2.) Open to any breed, but should of been considered retired at some point by your stable.
2.) Drawn Faults will not count against you, so feel free to draw stuff like bucking or biting or what not
4.) Entry must be your own work! Of course you can use references, but don't just copy someone else's work.
5.) Please put the entry form in your artist's comments, along with some sort of link to any previous experience that could count towards that class. Pre reg is not required.
6.) Have fun! Questions, suggestions, comments or concerns? Message me and we'll talk

CLASSES
A/N: So help me, all classes will an age related joke because I'm punny like that. Heh.
Headshots accepted for all classes.
More points awarded for showing signs of age, (ie graying out, white on the face, maybe a tad sway backed, or whatever else!)
Lead line entries are also ok for any ridden or driven classes, if you so wish to show your horse competing with a younger rider or something.
GREYBEARD HALTER
You're horses once stunningly black face is now more salt and pepper? Does his back have a bit of (or a lot) of a sway to it? Well, these things are just marks of wisdom, and show that your animal has aged gracefully..or maybe not. In any case, celebrate the fact your animal has made it to retirement, and wears those years with pride. Halter required (but can be whatever you wish, so be creative)
AGE BEFORE BEAUTY LIBERTY
Just because there old doesn't mean they weren't something to look at in their younger years. Maybe they still have that spark, and this is their chance to show off that they were the talk of the ring. No tack required.
THE COUGAR AND SILVER FOX PRODUCER CLASS
a/n: borrowing the idea of a producer class from AniaJag
Show your grandsire and grandam with any generation of their offspring- as many or as few as you wish, as long as you have at least one one other younger, related horse in the picture. Halters required.
NO LONGER A SPRING CHICKEN PLEASURE
Western, English, or Driven, take your pick. Your old guy or gal is still just as much a joy to ride or drive as they used to be, age has not changed that! Appropriate tack required.
OVER THE HILL JUMPING
Hunter over fences, stadium, cross country, whatever your old gray mare (or stallion, or gelding) used to jump, she can still do it! Well, scaled down for age of course, you don't need to show a 6ft jump or a dead run cross country effort. Heck, even half foot cross rails are fine! Appropriate tack required, and preferably enough of whatever you have them jumping in the picture to tell what it is.
I'VE STILL GOT IT TALENT CLASS
If your geezer has a talent or specialization that's not covered in any of these classes, feel free to show in this class. Haute ecole, weight pulling, barrel racing, or whatever, show them off here- age appropriately, of course! Appropriate tack required, and preferable enough of whatever you're doing to tell what's going on in the picture.
--------------------------------------------
JUDGING
RNG: 1-10
Now change to a full show, but still for fun show, so RNG will be 1/3 the score.
EFFORT: 1-15
More points for stuff like story, a background, full body, showing signs of age, etc.
PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE: 1-5
ONLY IF YOU LINK TO PROOF SOMEWHERE- either in the artist comments of your entry, or in that horse's reference, or even note me. Last time I forgot to say this and had to look through everyone's gallery and I'm not doing that again. One point per link, up to 5 maximum. I will be pretty generous though with what counts as experience, so link any training images or prior show entries, with anything close to what class you are competing in. Example: Link a show entry for a dressage class, get 1 point for pleasure. Link to a training image for scurry driving, get a point to pleasure. I want this to be fun, so don't worry to much about having this exact. Chances are, if it's something even close, I'll count it. Feel free to message me with any questions.
