Purchase Show Entry: Coming Soon!

The Little Horse Show (LHS) is the annual event for smaller scale horses and this year, it is fully online! We are having on online sale including our Chip and Pebble scale models (plus some fun surprises!) on Friday, September 18th, 2026. Photo Show information is below.

Show Location. This year, the show is an online photo show conducted on OMHPS, the Online Model Horse Photo Shows site. The OMHPS page for the show is not yet live. We have included below some OMHPS instructions that will help you make sure your entries are correct.

Eligible Models. This show is open to OF Stone Horses models in Chip and Pebble scale, customized Stone Horses models in Micro, Chip and Pebble scale, and artist resin, pewter, or 3-D printed equid models from any manufacturer or artist in Micro, Chip, Venti and Pebble scales.

Entry Fee. Entry fee is $35 and you can pay for the show here. You must have an OMHPS account before you purchase entry, as the Stone website requires your username.

Entry Limits. Entrants are permitted five (5) entries per class. Models may show in one halter (breed or workmanship) class, and once in each performance class.

Rules. Sportsmanlike conduct is expected of all entrants. All judge and stewarding decisions are final. If you have questions about a placing, we can ask the judge to explain, but if you do not agree with the reasoning, you are asked to accept the difference of opinion. Image editing for color accuracy is permitted, but no photoshopped backgrounds or other noticeable image editing. No AI. Backgrounds are not judged. Realistic and "plain" background photos are both welcome. You release and hold harmless all hosts, admins, staff and other participants.

Awards. The Overall Champion in each division will receive a limited Stone model produced only for this event. Champs & Reserves ("CH/RS") will receive mini rosettes mailed after the show concludes. Classes will be placed 1st through 6th place with digital ribbons.

Contact. Elizabeth LaRose and Julia Turner will be your hosts this year. We have a Facebook thread on the Stone Horses Official Facebook group where you are invited to ask questions or contact us at admins@ponybytes.com.
