Fantasy Model Rights

Fantasy Model Rights

This petition has been designed as a means to achieve show rights for fantasy model horses. By making this petition we hope to achieve fantasy classes as a standard at most model horse shows and to possibly get fantasy models NAN qualifying. We do realize that to have fantasy models NAN qualifying is difficult, but that seems to be what is necessary to get fantasy model classes as normality. Here is a rough outline of how we would go about including fantasy models, both OF and CM, in shows:
*We would prefer to see several classes for fantasy models, divided somewhere around these lines:
1. unicorns
2. pegasi
3. dragons
4. carousel
5. hippogriffs
6. other fantasy models

We do understand that these classes may be many, but most fantasy model owners would be happy with ANY fantasy model class! Decorators were not included simply because they CAN currently NAN qualify. As for the standards for judging fantasy classes, the models would be judged by:

* Overall Craftsmanship - how nice a model's paint job is and how well it is made/customized and how much general effort went into the model
* Condition- overall condition of the model (is it yellowed, rubbed, scratched, broken, etc...)
*Collectibility/Rarity (OF classes) - how many of the model were produced and how collectible the model is
* Creativity (CM classes) - how unique the model is and how much creative thought went into creating the model

We (those who wish to show fantasy model horses) do acknowledge that much of the judging will be placed upon the judge's personal opinion. We simply wish that the judge remain open-minded and fair, and would relinquish their position as judge, voluntarily, over a particular fantasy class if they believe they are unable to judge fairly. Main emphasis: we just want to be able to show all our fantasy models, even if only to show them off!
If you wish to join the cause of getting fantasy models the right to show, just sign your name (email address optional) on the petition list below.

We hope to send this list to the officials of NAMSHA before the fall! Further Questions? email me at [email protected]
