Model Horse Shows by Stone Horses
A model horse show closely resembles a live horse show designed for model horse collectors to participate in events that are very much similar to that of a real horse show. Each model horse is placed within a show ring (a specified table-top) with a note for each model having the name of the horse breed the model represents or the event the model horse is portrayed in doing. Model horses are usually displayed in either of the two following formats:

Shown in Halter Class — Standing Alone
Performance Class - Shown in Tack, with Dioramas Depicting the Model Horse as Engaged in Activities
