Sadly, I have noticed that not many people enter the WCS Shows. Here is a step-by-step guide to entering and competing in RPG horse shows that should help inform people on how to get involved in this game's major aspects.
How To Enter A Horse Show
Human Characters are the only ones who are allowed to enter horse shows. Horse characters cannot submit an entry form...duh?
1: Read all the information included in the show thread. Ya, it's a lot, but all of it is important in some way or another.
2: Decide what classes to enter. There are plenty to chose from, don't worry.
3: Chose what horse you wish to enter in which class. You can compete on more than one horse per show.
4: Fill out the Horse Show Entry Form [below] and PM it to the judgeo f the horse show.
5: Wait for a response from the judge. If you are accepted to compete, go on to step 6. If not, better luck next time!
6: Now, the rider replies to the horse show thread, making one huge reply that covers their entire time in the virtual horse show arena.
7: The horse replies to the rider's post, responding in whatever way they wish to the rider's cues.
8: The judge reads the posts and judges the performance based on the Horse Show Judging Criteria [below].
9: After all of the riders have competed, the judge ranks the riders according to the highest scores.
10: Ribbons are awarded and you've completed your first horse show!

You must put in an Entry Form for every different horse/rider pair that is competing at the show!!
Horse Show Judging Criteria

Realism - 20 pts
Grammar/Spelling - 10 pts
Writing Skill - 20 pts
Overal Effect of Post - 10 pts
Points Awarded
This is different than the points above in the Horse Show Judging Criteria. This is the point system and how many points are awarded for horses and riders for entering and competing in a horse show...you dont get points just for sending in an entry form! You gotta actually send in a post.
Human Characters get 5 pts for entering and competing in a horse show
Horse Characters get 5 pts for being entered in and competing in a horse show
But that's not all, folks! If you actually place in the show, you gain additional points...
1st - 10 pts
2nd - 8 pts
3rd - 6 pts
4th - 4 pts
5th - 2 pts
6th and under - 0 pts
Grand Champion - 20 pts
Reserve Champion - 15 pts
Cool, huh?
Remember!
Horse Showing is a major part of playing WCS - have fun with it! Even if you have no idea how to enter a horse show, ask someone for help. Once you've entered a horse show, you're guarenteed a good time. What's there to lose? Get out there and enter some horse shows!!!
