     HERE ARE A LIST OF PHOTO SHOW WEBSITES

Photo Shows allow model horse owners from all over the world to compete against each other without ever meeting face-to-face. A scene is set up that features the model in either a natural or studio setting and a photo is taken. Photos can either be the traditional paper pictures or, more frequently, digital photos. These photos are then submitted to the show holder who uses these photos to judge how well each model compares to its competition and to the requirements of the class.  To enter contact the following clubs.

 

Model Equine Photo Showers Association: https://namhsa.org/ In the time-honored tradition of mail-in photo showing, MEPSA is the longest running and, as far as I know, largest group of its kind. MEPSA  with an annual season of member shows in which entrants can qualify their horses for the year-end MEPSA International Championship Show. There the best of the best compete for ribbons, models, and other awards, and perhaps most of all, a spot in the beautiful Championship Show Book published each year. MEPSA also has a whole division devoted to novice showers, with a full range of classes and constructive feedback and help provided by experienced volunteer judges. You can join the MEPSA discussion group on Groups.io here.

 

Model Horse Original Finish Club: The Model Horse Original Finish Club is another mail-in photo show club, a friendly, no drama group for collecting and showing original finish model horses (no customs or artist resins). They offer competition, recognition and prizes based on vintage, breed standards, presentation/photography, and more. New hobbyists and veterans alike can check them out at their Groups.io homepage in the link here.  https://groups.io/g/MHOFHC

 

Totally Online Photo Showers Association: https://topsa.weebly.com/ TOPSA is perhaps the largest and longest running online photo showing organization. This small-fee-to-show (I believe last year our annual dues were $5 or so) photo show group has something to offer just about any level and style of showing, with many divisions for all makes and types of models. TOPSA holds a year end Championship Show for horses that have qualified throughout the year, with virtual rosettes. You can join the TOPSA discussion group on Groups.io here.

 

Model Horse Online Show Series: https://snapbraggin.com/gallery/mhoss/ is another online photo showing group. MHOSS is free to join, and has a wide variety of divisions and classes. The Snapbraggin platform used by MHOSS is user friendly and easy to navigate, or at least so I find it, and it automatically tracks placings and accumulated points (nice!). MHOSS offers virtual awards throughout the show season, including for qualified horses in the year end Championship Show. You can join the MHOSS discussion group on Groups.io here.

 

Original Finish All Makes online photo show: https://originalfinishallmakes.webs.com/ OFAM is an online photo showing group dedicated to most makes of factory finish (aka Original Finish) model equines. To quote from their website: "This club is set up strictly for light-hearted, laid-back fun with showing models." It's a great group and promotes a welcoming environment for model horse hobbyists of all experience levels. You can join the fun on the OFAM discussion group on Groups.io here.

 

Mini Model Showers Association: https://mmsa.weebly.com/ If you like 'em small but still dream big, check out MMSA. This online photo showing group is devoted to the showing of smaller model horses, from Micro-Minis to Curio size. MMSA is free to join at this time, and the enthusiam among its members is as mighty as their minis. You can join the MMSA discussion group on Groups.io here.

 

Online Model Horse Photo Shows : https://www.omhps.com/  From the website intro: Online Model Horse Photo Shows (OMHPS) is a platform to photo show model horses on an online interface. Built from the ground up, this website will allow you to show your horses, keep track of their placings, host your own shows, and enjoy a fun, competitive environment. The competitions are open to model horses of any make and model including Breyer, Stone Horses, Schleich, CollectA, artist resins, customs, and china/porcelain. Rather than a single club, this is a website that can be used by clubs and individuals alike to host and enter shows. OMHPS is free to join, and has a paid, ad-free premium option as well. 

 

Model Horse Showing "ABCs": https://www.breyerhorses.com/pages/the-abcs-of-model-horse-showing   This is a good, general overview of model horse showing.  For both live shows and photo shows. The article focuses on choosing and showing original factory-finish models, but nearly all of this useful information applies across the model horse spectrum.
