Show Dressage Trainoff - Events Are Posted On First Page

[AutumnMoonshadow]

Hi guys... My partner Jinxed and I have decided to hold a show dressage trainoff. The trainoff horses would be foals from my private lines; they would be shown in team dressage. Five or so entries would be optimal.

Rules:
-Jinxed and I have the right to gracefully decline any player's entry.
-Sponsors only!
-Trainoff events only
-The foals must be started at six and will be evented until age eighteen.
-Please, make an actual commitment to this trainoff... we do not encourage quitters.
-Any player who puts their horses in any events other than the specified trainoff events will be immediately disqualified.
-The trainoff will be judged on three categories: winnings, placement, and stats
-Have fun!

Prizes:
1st place - $50 mill, a 6th month Sponsor upgrade, a foal from your pair
2nd place - $30 mill, a goodie dye, a foal from your pair
3rd place - $20 mill, a foal from your pair

All other players will receive $5 mill for participating, and of course everyone will keep 100% of their pair's winnings.

Finally, there will be special prizes as incentives to keep the trainoff moving forwards... for instance, the first player who's pair reaches $40 mill will receive a bonus goodie dye.

I'm interested

[pinkona_]

What are the breeds we will be working with?

And you can count me in too

[pennypenpen]

I'd be interested If you'll accept me of course ^^

[AutumnMoonshadow]

Just my Andies, although Jinxed might want to add some of her VSH as well. Pink, Penny, and Purple - thanks for your interest! Pink, you're in - no need to show examples. Purplehorse and pennypenpen, could you show a few examples? I'll put up a form later, I just want to approve you first.

[pennypenpen]

Here are my examples They're probably not the greatest, but I'm pretty impressed with them

One, Two, and Three-she was my first attempt and if I'm remembering correctly she wasn't BC, but not sure

Oh thanks

[purplehorse]

PMed you

[AutumnMoonshadow]

Penny and Purple, thanks for the examples! I'll have to talk to Jinxed, but I'll let you both know ASAP if you're approved. Guys, I'm sorry that I'm being so selective... but these horses will all be goodie-dyed, so I want to make sure that an experienced trainer works with them.

[Never Say Never]

Hmm Peggy is interested

Maybe if it starts in a week or two? Once school's out I'll be able to dedicate more time to training and eventing.

And Peggy is approved. Okay, since I'm looking for a couple more entries (*cough*roticava*cough*), I'll make the official start date next Saturday. I'm actually going to be at overnight horse camp (GMHA, I'm so excited!) for the two weeks after that, so I'll have Jinxed run the trainoff at that time.

no rotties allowed.
