Enjoy the World
of Model Horses

Model horse showing is a fun activity to be enjoyed by the entire family. Meet new people, learn about horses and horsemanship through model horses, and maybe come home with a blue ribbon!

Great Lakes Congress, Inc., is a 501c3 educational charity created to teach youth about horses and horsemanship, using model horses. We hold regularly scheduled shows throughout the year, as well as special youth days and seminars. The public is welcome to attend any of our events. See our pull-down menu for more information about specific programs.

What does “No Frills” mean? Our show is the same as any other show, but our prize ribbons are recycled, donated from shows past. Our shows are NAN-qualifying shows and a lot of fun.

During the year, we add double-judged, specialty shows to our regular No Frills classlist. Depending on the show, your horses may be double-judged in workmanship or collectibility.

This educational series was created in order to promote and encourage interest in the study of horses, the hobby of model horses, and to provide individuals the opportunity of improving or developing their skills in model horse judging. Join us for some fun, friendly and fierce competition, and an opportunity to meet new people as well as renew old friendships.
