Participation Requirements

Each month will highlight a different theme, so please be prepared to dress according to the given theme. (See the planned themes above.)

Your costumes and outfits must be theme related, non-offensive, and contain limited scripts and particles. All tack/costuming must be attached to your avatar, no exceptions. Anyone violating these rules will be disqualified on the day of the Vanity Fair. 

You will be asked to perform a few very simple maneuvers while riding your horse in the judging arena. These will be extremely easy and are designed to show off all the hard work and glamour you have put into your presentation. Listen carefully to the judge’s instructions during the show, and in particular when your Entry Number is called during judging so you will know what is required. 

Judging

Judging is based on your horse’s traits, in addition to your appearance on the day. Thoughtful breeding and planning is just as important as making sure you are dressed to impress.

Judging is divided into three parts and based on the following:

  • Trait Score - Automatically calculated based on rarity distributions + matching score. Up to 20 points total.*
  • Coat Score - Automatically calculated based on rarity distributions. Up to 20 points total.
  • Judges Score - A subjective score determined by our judge(s) on the day of the event. Up to 60 points total.
