Entries have more than doubled since this morning. You guys aren't the kind to be ready in advance, are you? :)
I have been writing comments for each entry since they were uploaded and overall placings will be decided on once entries are closed.
When it comes to the comments I have been very picky on the smallest details. I know Schleich tack can't be adjusted but I have still pointed out the obvious fit issues as sometimes it is a case of just pulling the bridle a bit further up the horse's face or pushing the grith forwards.
There are plenty of nice performance entries out there but I feel each and every one of you could have gone futher, the jumpers could have breastplates and boots, dressage riders could be carrying crops. Lastly, you don't have to stick with what Schleich has made, get creative. I am being picky but there is always space to improve, you just have to push yourself into that space. Read class rules, look at photos/videos from real horse shows get ideas. But always remember to have fun.
Best of luck to all of you as the entries close, and remember there is still another show, so take feedback, go back to the drawing board, and keep trying.
