Halter Division Information

Rare Plastic Halter: ALL test run models and any special runs totaling 35 and fewer horses. Finish differences (gloss vs. matte) are not considered separate runs, so only editions where the glossy and matte combined are 35 and fewer will go in this division. Please note that GLC Performance Challenge models go in this division. These classes (with the exception of the non-realistic color class) will be judged on breed standards.

Non Plastic Rare Halter: : ALL test and custom glazed china models and runs under 10. These classes (with the exception of the non-realistic color class) will be judged on breed standards. Custom and Artist Resin classes: These are two separate divisions. They will be held concurrently with entries divided within the ring. For example, the judge will call CM/AR Arabians. The CMs will be put on one side of the ring, while ARs will be put on the other side of the ring. The judge will then judge them as two separate classes. Entries are 3 horses/class, so an entrant can have 3 CM Arabs and 3 AR Arabs.

Directions

From I-90 (westbound)
Take 47 North.
Continue through three stoplights. You will see Deicke Park on your left. Immediately after the Park is Mill Street. Turn left on Mill. Go through 4-way stop, school is on your left. You will see a door near the number "12015" facing Mill, with an area for unloading. We are arranging to have those doors unlocked so you may unload there. Main entrance and parking is around the corner of the building.

From I-90 (eastbound - travelling from the west towards Chicago)
Route 47 is NOT accessible! Take the I-90 exit for Route 20 east (it's a ways west of Rt. 47). The intersection with Rt. 47 and Rt. 20 is also the intersection with Rt. 72, just to make things confusing. It's a 4-way stoplight, with a gas station (BP, I think) on the southwest corner, and a garden center and water tower on the southeast corner. Turn left to go north on Route 47 into Huntley. Mill Street is the last intersection before Main Street. Turn left on Mill. Go through 4-way stop, school is on your left.
