Show thoughts from a person who has never showed

I got this idea when browsing liveshow photos from blogs. I have never showed any models myself, so I have no experience or knowledge in that sense. But I like to assemble scenes with my horses, dolls and tack. 

When I see a photo where there are many horses on a table, tacked up and with dolls or not, I see happenings. I know the entries don't correlate with each other, but - what if they did? Why don't Americans (or Swedish, since Finland has no shows) cook up some group scenes where every entrant has a horse and a scene, and it should look like that there's some interaction with others going on? Could that make any sense? It could be even more fun if people weren't so stuck with the idea that every setup should be perfect, what I feel like is the main thing in performance. That is why I am more interested about scene photos than just performance photos, while I have very little interest for halter. 

I guess this is a riding lesson going wrong.

So, why could there be no "tiny world" on the table? It could be interesting, seriously. I could compare this to what I have seen on blogs and websited of Finnish dollhouse enthusiasts, who also do shows (or exhibitions; no competition) - sometimes there have been several houses in a row, alias a street, interacting with each other. Seeing something similar with model horses could be awesome. 

You see, as a modeller I'm not very interested about perfection. To me the hobby is all about realism in anatomy, color, dynamics, etc... If it is possible in real life, then it is possible in model life. I have never had any interest towards competiting in horse sports or related, and I do not try to make my customs a perfect example of any breed. I rather cook up my own breeds or mixes and sculpt and paint them how I like. That also means I could never show my horses well, because they just aren't what people could like to call good. Because they are not good, most of the time... But real horses are never perfect neither. 

I should recreate this old scene... But the Running Stallion copy isn't worth using and also is not too tack friendly.

I am a "moment in time" person, when it comes to modelhorsing and scenes. To me that is the salt of the whole thing, plus the fact that everything should be as realistic and accurate as possible. I see a lot of real horse photos where there are tack errors, riders have odd facial expressions, horses "misbehave", and so on. Action photos about odd situations like fails are interesting, and I about never see those in miniatures. I struggle to assemble any myself because the factory Breyers of course are made for performance perfection. Hmmmm. 

Those action shots and fails could be interesting to see in a big group scene where nobody needs to be perfect. The horses' expressions and positions could matter, as well as how close the horses are to each other. It could be a group from a mini world. And the big rule could be that people shouldn't know beforehand what everyone else is doing with their setups! That could make it unexpected and possibly absurd and thus interesting and funny.
