VERY IMPORTANT!
Model Identification: We once again using our entry number system. This number system operates as follows.
Once you register AND pay your entry fee, you will be emailed an (RC##) number, this number is only unique to you. If you have already been assigned an RC number from last year, this is your number forever.
(Example: Jane Smith gets assigned number RC01 and Stephanie Jones gets assigned number RC02. Janes would label her first model like this; RC01-01 / Heart’s on Fire / Appaloosa / Mare. Then Jane would label her next model; RC01-02 / Mr. Ed / Thoroughbred / Gelding. Meanwhile, Stephanie’s brings a total of 37 models, so her are numbered RC02-01 through RC02-37).
By 15 MAR 2023, your initial show string list is due to be submitted via email to: rivercityhorse@gmail.com complete with your assigned numbers, model names, breed, & gender. This info will go into our tracking workbook, so when your model places, we already have all the correct info needed to ensure that your initials and model names are spelled 100% correct.
There is a tab on our website that has examples and how to submit your list. This will speed up our show. Judges will not be able to see this list prior to the show day. When we send you, your number we will also send you the excel form to be used. We will also share the same form with you via google sheets. You can fill out whichever one you choose. We are experimenting with the google sheets for the future.
The Google sheet will let you give you the opportunity to make live changes to your list until 28 MAR 2023. If you do not have computer access, please email us and we will work something out.
Tagging your models: All models must have a leg tag attached to their model. One side will have the entry number, breed, & gender. The opposite side will have the owner’s initials and model’s name.
