Crescent Cove MHA Summer Photo Show 2023
Hello, this is the 6th edition of the Crescent Cove Discord server show series! This edition includes Artist Resin, Customs, and Workmanship! As usual, this show is completely FREE! The only requirement for this show is to join the server by following the link here: Link . You have to have ALL 3 of the following completed before being added to the show! 1. Join the server following the link. 2. React to the rules to prove you're not a robot and prove you've read them. 3. Select some roles that interest you in self assign roles. This is so that people can actually see the whole server, not just part of it. We have a great community and do a yearly Secret Santa Stablemates custom swap! This year we will be having two categories, show proven and general. This show is a chance for people to qualify for Show Proven status if you'd like! I (Naomithewolf) will be judging this by my self!
1. No tack. Molded on tack should be stated somewhere that it is molded on. (No halters, no collars, no hang tags) 2. Judging for halter is mostly based on photo quality but Workmanship does play a role as well. 3. Make sure you're entering your horse in the right class, if it's in the wrong class and I have already judged the class it should be in, your horse will be DQ. 4. Ideal photos have a non-distracting background where no parts of the horse are covered. If you'd like a realistic background, it should be in scale with the model and not take away from the model. 5. Be patient with judges and respectful but if you have any questions about my decisions feel free to message me for my reasoning. I take notes on all classes.
This show has a private list of entrants that are allowed to enter.

With the new grey categories I'm separating grey into 4 classes!
Classes
These horses are often much younger, they may or may not have dapples yet and often will show their base coat still. If they have dapples they're normally restricted to the warmer areas of the body. They can have any base coat, including roan, but should not be pinto patterns. If pinto patterned, enter in the patterned classes.
The final stage of greying for most heterozygous greys, they are mostly white with flecks of darker pigment speckled throughout their body. Can vary from light fleabitten to very many fleabitten spots and can include bloody shoulder marks.
These horses are normally older and have turned mostly white. Greys can have any base color but should not have white patterns showing in this class, if you have a pinto grey, enter in patterned classes please. Greys in this class should be mostly white but can still have some dark areas. These horses can have some fleabitten marks but they should be minimal. Here is an example of a darker grey horse for this class: http://www.theequinest.com/grey-breeds/
The most intricate stage of greying, Medium greys will have lots of contrast and dapples throughout their coat. They can have any basecoat but if they have pinto patterns they should not be in this class. Here is an example of a medium dappled grey: https://horserookie.com/dapples-on-a-horse/ (The first and second grey horses shown)
Classes
Appaloosas that have more than one pattern or are patterns that do not fit the other classes. No pintaloosas here.
All horses with a blanket or snowcap appaloosa pattern, semi-leopard/varnish should not be in this class (They belong in Other Appaloosa). White should be more concentrated at the top of the hips but can be as extensive as to nearly the shoulders and to the hocks. Horses can have other Appaloosa traits such as sparse mane and tail, white sclera in the eyes, striped hooves, and mottled skin.
A beautiful pattern, Frame is homozygous lethal and only exists in heterozygous form in real life. Horses tend to have large white markings on the face with white on the body that rarely crosses the dorsal or midline of the belly. They have have little to no white markings on the legs but can also have lots of white there.
These horses should have at least most of the body being white with spots. Fewspots will have far less spots than Leopard. Both can have "mismarked" areas.
Most often these are fully white horses with minimal amounts of base coat showing, most often at the ears. They tend to have dark eyes and some black spots in the skin but they do not have to.
All models with more than one white pattern. Tovero, Tobiano Sabino, Tobiano Rabicano, Frame Sabino, etc. But not including pintaloosa.
Rabicano horses can resemble sabino a lot. They will have a roaning effect that is concentrated to the flanks and gives a striping effect going vertically, their tails will also often have barring which can have a lot of white in it. They often have blazes and stocking markings but do not have to. If they have other pinto markings they should not enter this class.
This is a catchall for the unusual patterns out there. Brindle, chimera, somatic mutations, all kinds of funky but naturally existing colors. Any pattern and any color can enter this but they HAVE to have something unusual about them, if it's subtle you need to explain in the model's description WHY they're in the class or they WILL be disqualified.
Sabino has so many forms it's hard to categorize. The most common expression is ragged edges to markings with a tendency to have large amounts of white on the face and legs which can extend up onto the flank. Sb1 is the most common type of sabino but there are many W genes that have the same appearance. You can enter those in this class too! Homozygous sabino can be completely or almost completely white, they may do better in the max white class!
Splash is characterized by smooth, crisp edged white markings that look like the horse's lower half was dipped in paint. Splash often causes blue eyes and sometimes horses with splash covering the ears will also be deaf.
Tobiano is the most easy to follow type of white marking in my opinion, it tends to but does not always follow this. Tends to favor white on all 4 legs and leaving the head dark with minimal white markings, there tends to be a dark spot at the flank and shoulder as well. At minimal tobiano can be solid with white stockings and a small white patch at the shoulder, hip, or half of the tail. Markings tend to be smooth and crisp edged but do not have to be.
Classes
For traditional bay and wild bay, not seal bay. If your horse is in-between shades, pick the one you think fits the horse best! Bay horses have a brown body with dark legs, skin, mane and tail. Bay can range from very red toned with only dark pasterns to seal bay where the whole horse is black except cinnamon around the muzzle and flank. No greys or roans in this class, no pintos or appaloosas in this class. Solid only.
Black horses can have a surprising amount of depth in their coats that can easily be missed when making model horses. A good black custom in this class will have shading but not too much brown because then they will show better as Seal bay/brown. Black horses can sunbleach heavily if they are lacking nutrients or are often sweaty in the hot sun, a good reference for a heavily bleached horse will be helpful. No greys or roans in this class, no pintos or appaloosas in this class. Solid only.
Buckskin horses are Bay/Brown horses with a single cream dilution. They will have black mane and tail, black ear tips, black skin, and black legs. Their shade can vary from very pale "buttermilk buckskin" to very dark "Burnt buckskin" (which is cream on a seal bay horse). Single cream only dilutes the red pigment on the horse so the black areas stay black. No greys or roans in this class, no pintos or appaloosas in this class. Solid only.
Any base coat with two copies of cream. Single cream only dilutes red pigment, double cream dilutes ALL pigment. Their shade can vary from white to creamy greyish. Cremello, Perlino, and Smoky cream have overlapping phenotypes and cannot be determined by appearance alone in real horses. They will always have pink skin and blue eyes. You may also choose to enter Ivory champagne here. No greys or roans in this class, no pintos or appaloosas in this class. Solid only.
All Dun horses. Dun can appear on all base coats, though it may be hard to see on very light coats. Dun is characterized by primitive markings including a dorsal stripe that goes through the tail, darkening of the legs with barring, shoulder striping that begins from the dorsal, ear barring, and darkening at the face, as well as some lightening of the coat. Horses do not have to have all of these traits but at the very least should have a dorsal stripe that goes through the tail and some minor leg barring. Very extreme duns exist too and are welcome in this class. No greys or roans in this class, no pintos or appaloosas in this class. Solid only.
Any and all fantasy horses go here, even if they are completely natural other than have a unicorn horn. These horses can have any pattern as well.
All chestnut horses with blonde/flaxen mane and tail. May have partially flaxen mane and tail, enter them where you think they fit better. Shade can vary from sandy, almost palomino to such dark concentrated red pigment that the horse looks black. Chestnuts will never have black tips on the ears and will have lighter hair around the pasterns, this can be subtle. No greys or roans in this class, no pintos or appaloosas in this class. Solid only.
All shades of chestnut horses that do not have a flaxen mane and tail. Mane and tail can be partially flaxen if you think they fit this class better put them here. Body can range from very light to very dark red, nearly black. A telltale signature of a chestnut horse is a lack of black tips on the ears and lighter coloring on the pasterns (can be very slight). The skin is black but other than that there are no black points. No greys or roans in this class, no pintos or appaloosas in this class. Solid only.
Have a horse that doesn't fit in the above classes? It probably goes here, unless you're just using this class to try and enter more horses. Horses that belong in other classes will be DQ. Silver, champagne, mixed dilutes, all go here UNLESS they have white markings, are grey, or roan.
Palomino is Chestnut with a single cream gene. Single cream only dilutes red pigment so on a chestnut horse the whole body will dilute, leaving the skin dark only. Most often palominos will have white mane and tail but some rare exceptions occur where the mane and tail can be silvery or match the body color. Body shades can vary from very pale cream to very dark "Chocolate" palomino. These horses should not have black anywhere on them except the skin. No greys or roans in this class, no pintos or appaloosas in this class. Solid only.
Technically Roan is a white pattern because it is on the KIT allele but I like it more in solid classes. This class is for ALL ROANS regardless of base color. Roans are characterized by white hairs mixed evenly throughout their body, most often concentrated to the flank and sparsely at the face and lower legs. The mane and tail are normally not touched by roan but can have some "frosting." Front legs will often show "Inverted V's" where the white hairs do not effect. No greys in this class, no pintos or appaloosas in this class. Solid only.
Seal bay is a shade term for very dark bays. Can range from being so dark there is only cinnamon color around the muzzle and flank to very high contrast horses. All seal bays will have dark legs, dark skin, and dark mane and tail. If you aren't sure what your horse will fit better as, google "Seal bay" and "Bay" horses and choose the one YOU think fits better. No greys or roans in this class, no pintos or appaloosas in this class. Solid only.
