:new: The show is now closed and judging will begin. Expect results by July at the latest and prizes by August at the latest. The horses that won't be claimed will in future be used for sales, raffles, or future prizes :new:


:new: Registration is now closed, good luck to all those who entered you have some insane training to do. Stay safe, you have until May 1st. A new album will be open where you can upload your work, we look forward to seeing them. Your training challenge officially begins! If there are less then 10 entries the show will be cancelled.


:star: Holy crap this is popular :XD: More so then we imagined! There are a few more horses left however do not worry, continue to sign up and more horses will be imported! Also to clarify- you can be mounted on your horse but not riding the course. You can be sitting on the horse or being bucked or rearing thats ok. Falling off is ok! Should have added this earlier... you can use western or english tack! Hell... if you think you can do it tackless then fine :) Good luck!! :star:

Stoltzer Training Challenge! by BangGoesReality

Hello and welcome to The Wild Stoltzer Training Challenge!
The goal of this exercise is to train a wild Stoltzer in one week and ride it through a course! You will draw a random number then be randomly paired up with a Stoltzer who drew the same number as you. Please notice, all Stoltzers within this competition are imported from the wild and have very little contact with humans, they may act defensively or aggressively towards you! You will have one week start to finish working with your horse until you can ride it around the ring calmly through a series of obstacles like cones and gates.

So what do you have to do exactly?

All you have to do is draw ONE image of you working with the horse chosen for you! Extra images will not count but are greatly appreciated. You can draw this image any way you like with one exception; do not draw your rider riding the horse through the course. Yes you read correctly. The course will be the final test and your job is to train the horse. This means trying to saddle it, bridle it, mount it, lunge it... get chased by it... whatever. You are allowed to be fully mounted on the horse but just not on the course, doing one obstacle is ok.

Where is all this happening?

We are leasing an indoor arena in Denmark. The event will be held inside the arena so no matter the weather we are ok. sta.sh/01j9yerzxly6 Each horse will be in its own small pen and you can work with it in there or in the arena itself, just be careful since there are a lot of other horses around! The arena has Danish flags hanging from the ceiling and a small grandstand on the other side of the rail where spectators can watch safely over the week. Food will be provided along the walls of the arena beside the grandstands.


How will this be judged?

This is an effort based show meaning this one image you should do your best. You won't be judged against anyone else but yourself. So if you usually don't shade but you do in your image you get bonus points because thats effort on your part!

Following Directions (horse design, background...) /20
Personal Effort: /20

:star: Remember, extra images don't count :star:

Rules and Regulations
-You do NOT have to be a Stoltzer owner or group member to join! This is a great chance to adopt your first Stoltzer!
-No tracing or using old lines (skeleton tracing ok)
-Just draw your character working with the horse but not actually riding the course! A half mount is fine and so is a full mount. You will not be docked if your rider falls off.
-If you lose don't worry, there will be plenty more chances to get a Stoltzer including more competitions!
-You may interact with other characters in your entry but please no collabs! (one image 2 people)
-Please be patient if judging is late, Bang and I are both very busy but we will do our best to have this show run smoothly!

When does this show end?

Due to the fact that Villuminate is in school and BangGoesReality is a full time artist, the show will end May 1st, 2014. That gives you 5 full months! This is to ensure everyone has time to finish their entries, for the entries to be graded, and for prizes to be given out in a timely manner. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask Villuminate or BangGoesReality Registration to enter your rider and gain your trainee is January 15th. Feel free to donate prizes!!
