Welcome to OMHPS
Online Model Horse Photo Shows (OMHPS) is a platform to photo show model horses on an online interface.

The competitions are open to model horses of any make and model including Breyer, Stone Horses, Schleich, CollectA, artist resins, customs, and china/porcelain.
Current Shows
Etched to Perfection
Registration open
This is a FREE show for etched models. Only after market etched PLASTIC models in any scale are eligible. You must have the model’s WORKMANSHIP TAB filled out indicating “ETCHED” as the medium. Minimal paint work, such as hooves, eyes and after market glossing are allowed but the customization should be primarily etched. JUDGING CRITERIA: Workmanship, detail and realism are the primary factors in judging, along with photo quality, model condition, etc. Models that appear not to be etched as the main customization will be disqualified or not judged. CLASS INFO: Please review the class list and enter the most appropriate class for your model’s etching pattern. There is an Other Realistic Pattern/Multiple Patterns class if no other class seems appropriate. All breeds, grades and mixes are welcome (including foals and mules) in regular classes unless they are etched as an Exotic. Donkeys and Exotics have separate classes. Unrealistic/Decorator/Fantasy patterns have a separate class.

News & Events
News - September 9, 2024
Hey, photo showers! We're here to talk to you about the upcoming update that we have been working on for some time. This is a large update and will require a few hours of downtime. This scheduled downtime will be on Friday September 27, 2024 at 10:00 AM CET/4:00 AM ESTSo what is this big update? We are further fleshing out our filtration system to better categorize models. For example, we are splitting Makes out into Materials (such as Plastic) and Manufacturer (such as Breyer), rather than one thing that may limit certain models. This will allow for more fine-tuning of class filters and better classifications on models that may not fit into makes in the pre-existing, relatively simple list. We are also splitting out things such as Busts and Other Animal classifications so be excited if you have more variety in your collection!
So what does this mean for pre-existing models? We've been working on a system that will automatically update all pre-existing models. For example, a model listed as Original Finish Breyer in make will have the new fields auto-filled to be Plastic material and Breyer as manufacturer. This means you do not have to go and fill these in yourself, which we understand would take a lot of time no one wants to spend on horses they already uploaded. However, if you have, for example, an Original Finish Resin model, you may need to go in and fill out its manufacturer field since those models previously were not classified in any way. To help ease this transition further, we are removing Captchas on the edit model pages. This is a change that will remain, as well.
This requires all nearly 75,000 pre-existing models uploaded to the site to get updated information, so extended downtime is necessary. We hope this will only take a few hours and have planned it to disrupt users as little as possible. We will keep you all updated and share more information when the date gets near!

Hello photo showers! We wanted to make a bit of a PSA due to recent events. We have received a lot of emails and reports regarding the situation with a few photo shows being marked as invalidated and/or prematurely concluded over the past couple of days, so hopefully this clears things up.What does it mean when a show is invalidated?
If a show has been marked as invalidated, that means there was proven cheating or bias on behalf of the host and/or judges. This includes placing self-owned models or using duplicate accounts to attempt to do so secretly. This is considered cheating and gaming the system, and is unfair to the other entrants as well as the rest of the site when it comes to the scoreboard. It also puts into question the integrity of the judging as a whole, even if there wasn't blatant cheating in every class. As a result, the show is marked invalidated and the points towards the scoreboard are removed. The results will remain in the show archives, but not elsewhere.
It goes without saying that this is not an outcome anyone wants to see. But fairness is of utmost importance to our platform, and unfortunately there are people who do not find fairness as important or misunderstandings happen.
If you ever see cheating like this on any show on our platform, please do not hesitate to reach out so we can take appropriate action. Thanks everyone!

Hello, photo showers! We hope everyone had a great model horse fest July. We've been seeing a huge influx of new models being uploaded from all your new additions and purchases. Awesome!We wanted to check in with everyone as us Admins have been a bit behind. We moved at the end of last year and had to put a lot on hold and have been playing catch up since. Additionally, the hosting situation for OMHPS changed unexpectedly but luckily that has been remedied and there are no concerns regarding the servers for the time being. Things are finally settling down so we can finish up the big update and get things rolling again.
Over the past couple of months, we have been busy behind the scenes tidying up and tying loose ends. We've gone through and decluttered some unfinished shows, as well, and will continue to work with hosts to try and finish up some of these older shows that have been lingering.
OMHPS is still as busy as ever with numerous shows open for entries right now, and other shows making progress in their judging. We love to see it! Keep an eye on this space for more information as we continue catching up and pushing updates.
