MEPSA is looking for entries for the Tack Contest!
Entries are due May 30, 2014
WIN AN O-U-DOLL NEW CM GYMKHANA DOLL FROM JOAN YOUNT or a SEUNTA U/F RESIN TIED GOAT! Winners choice!
MEPSA is holding a model horse tackmaking contest as a MEPSA Benefit. This contest is open to ALL. Winner will be decided by popular vote. Voting will be open to ALL. One person = one vote. Voting will be done on the modelequines blog at http://modelequines.blogspot.com. You do not have to join any group in order to vote. This is a great way to get your work shown to a potentially huge audience, win a great award and help MEPSA put on a terrific Championship show!
Contest Rules
1) All tack must have been made by the entrant. All major parts of any sets must have been made by the entrant. For example, you may not make a saddle pad, and enter someone else's saddle with your saddle pad as an entry. However, if the saddle is your work, a saddle pad made by someone else (and noted) may be included as part of one entry. The tack may be previously made or made especially for this contest. Your identity, as tackmaker, should be kept under wraps until the voting is over. Please don't tell everyone which entry is yours. Guessing is part of the fun!
2) Tackmaker may enter any type tack (Western, English, Native costume, historical, circus, other, etc.) in any scale and the tack may be anything, ranging from a halter and lead set to a complete set with saddle.
3) All finished tack may have a clear digital or scanned photo of each side, on a model, sent in to MEPSA- Carolyn Bailey- foggynote@yahoo.com or Laurel Dedes- dserthorse@aol.com - and Laurel can do the photographs for you if needed, when the tack is received.
4) ALL entered tack becomes property of MEPSA to raise funds or use as Championship show awards. This is a MEPSA Benefit contest. Tackmaker must send the finished tack to MEPSA upon completion- Carolyn Bailey, 971 Trailside Ln, Bartlett, IL 60103-5159- or Laurel Dedes, 5193 Coventry Ln., Barboursville, VA 22923-1618- at their own expense.There is no other fee to enter.
5) Winner will be awarded a new custom gymkhana girl doll from the super talented Joan Yount of O-U-Doll Studio or a wonderful SEUNTA tied resin goat, waiting for your finish. Great prizes for your performance showing! Winner's choice.
6) The contest will be publicized heavily on the Internet and in model horse groups. Please help spread the word!
7) Deadline for producing your tack and entering it is May 30th, 2014. Voting will take place in early June. We will accept entries from now until May 30th.
8) MEPSA appreciates an intent to enter statement as soon as you determine that you will enter, sent to Laurel Dedes- dserthorse@aol.com This is not binding, but will give us an idea how many entries to expect. Thank you! Please help support model horse photo showing by entering!

MEPSA NEEDS ARTISTS!
The MEPSA body box has been a success. We have many very nice bodies available! Now, we need artists willing to finish one for MEPSA. We can even provide postage back and forth if needed. We may be able to do the prep work before sending the body to you. We have no restrictions on how you choose to finish the piece. Simple customs are fine, as is more complex work. Colors are wide open- even decorators. All we ask is that your work be proven quality, and you can get it back to us in a stated time frame.
Please contact Laurel at dserthorse@aol.com with requests for a body, a list of available bodies or general questions.
