Ok I just want you to know that so far, all MOST point prizes are coming out of My pocket.
There are OVER 5,000 da points up for grabs here people!!!

However, there is a catch.
I will not put forth the 1,000 points prizes for the 4 Challenger Titles unless we have at least 4 horses competing for the same title. Otherwise the prize will be 100 points.

Ex:
4 horses complete their entries for the Racing Challenge. = 1,000 point prize

2 horses complete their entries for the Haler Challenge. = 100 point prize.

Understand? It is in YOUR best interest to get the word out there peeps!

Hey guys. Sorry for skipping out on hosting the 'annual' Teke Championship show!
It's just the 1st year it was hosted, we had a very poor.. pretty much laughably shortage of entries.. Not just form tekes but from oriental breeds in general when i made an update for all to enter..


and Yes. I will finish all the prize images I own from the last one.. *_{head down in shame. Absolute Shame}*


BUT out with the old and in with a new fresh breath of life!





I'm currently doing some spring cleaning, deleting old blogs, refixing stray gallery images and updating things. I am not deleting blogs with results to past shows at least not for now.
HAVE NO FEAR!
I will update you guys on that, and most likely make a single blog that will hold all results in it forEVAAA!!!

If you are simply changing their ref image/ also need to change their ref because they are aged :  please bear with me here.

1) Remove your horse's old ref (foal ref, outdated ref, etc)
2) Place your old, outdated, foal ref into the "Old Refs..." folder in the group.
3) Not needed but would help if you put a little message at the Top of your old ref artist description
This ref is old. Find the new one here [link]
or something similar to that. This way I, and others, can easily see if a foal has been aged, a more updated ref made, etc

Below is ONLY if you have a horse that needs to be move form colts/fillies list on the registration blog, to the mares/studs/geldings list.
 Follow these steps AFTER the 1-3 listed above

4) please send in a Note to the group with the title "Aged Mare/ or Aged Stallion" and to their new ref page.




thanks for reading this and have an awesome Holiday
(or for those who don't celebrate anything, enjoy the sales in the stores after the holiday rush is over)

Love,

Patches
