Message from Judge 1 JANET SNYDER  I'd like to thank everyone who participated in the horse show! And thank you for asking me to be one of your judges. I have never really done Anything like this before so I just placed the ponies on what I like. I made Some comments for each and I enjoyed seeing them all. Keep up the great work
everyone!  A
signed Ride the Sky book to the first place winners in each category.  You should be very proud of yourselves!

Message from Judge 2 FAB    I want the participants to know that this is "just" a judgment. based on "my own test". The result does not  mean that a pony who didn't place wasn't nice. All those ponies was FANTASTIC.. Some of them should be submitted to the trail.!!!!

Judge 3  SUE LAMAR...I would like to thank all those who entered this contest and to all those who made it possible. This has been fun to be a part of what I hope will be a ongoing contest.  All the contestants should be very proud of there entries, they were wonderful and surprising, a delight to see.  Way to go gals!!!      Thank you for allowing me to be one of the judges.

Message from Judge 4..VICKIE KNEPPER   All the entries were very creative and it was my pleasure to judge  the first of many future painted pony contests. I hope this will encourage these budding artists to be more creative and inspire others to try their hand at these ponies.

 

Message from Judge 5.. Joani Jiannine   First I would like to thank all of you for allowing me to judge your beautiful ponies. I was surprised to find no Native Ponies for me! LOL! I was also surprised to find that out of 13 entries there were two HEART ponies, and two FLOWER POWER ponies!!! I have been at this for three days now, not wanting to miss any little detail! So I devised my own point system by category. Under this system EVERYBODY won a category and your certificate of awards will be made for this way of judging. I have a mini blue ribbon rosette with a teeny gold horse for each of you that is just the right size to ‘pin’ on your ponies.         Each artist will be receiving  a signed SRT ornie  for your participation (unless you don't one)

 Joani did a very detailed point system judging. I have added it for all to see. I found it very interesting.  Hoeseshow Judging Sheet .   This is a PDF file.

 
PLEASE BE SURE ROBIN HAS YOUR MAILING ADDRESS SO THE JUDGES CAN SEND OUT THE CERTIFICATES
