Farm News: Where Is The Most Beautiful Horse?

Posted: 08.04.2010

Is that horse in your barn, on your pasture, in the stable stall?  The Midwest Horse Fair has begun the search for the World's Most Beautiful Horse!

Midwest Horse Fair officials know, this contest could make a few horse owners bristle - but they say the contest will be based on beauty and the graceful movement of the horse.

Midwest Horse Fair officials will be relying on the skills of trainer Dennis Auslam to make the choice. World’s Most Beautiful Horse contest is open to all breeds of horses and all horse owners worldwide. The search will initially begin with a photo contest and public votes via the Internet, but the semi-finalists will be invited to the 2011 Midwest Horse Fair, April 15-17, for the final phase.
 
To be a part of the inaugural event, horse owners can submit a photo of their most beautiful horse along with an application and a $25 entry fee. Applications need to be received by the December 1, 2010 deadline. The maximum number of horses that may be entered by any owner is 10.
 
Photos will be posted online, and the public will be able to vote for their favorite entries. A panel of judges will also hold equal weight in selecting the semi-finalists in the World’s Most Beautiful Horse contest. The number of contestants invited to the Midwest Horse Fair event will be based on the number of entries received. Online judging ends February 1, 2011.
 
The semi-finals will be held during the Midwest Horse Fair, and there will be an additional $50 fee for any horse chosen to compete.
 
The second stage of competition will focus on the parameters of beauty and graceful movement during the arena competition. A panel of judges and electronic text message voting from the audience will select the top six finalists.
    
The top six finalists will compete in a five-minute freestyle championship performance. Again, the winner will be chosen by a panel of judges and electronic text message voting from the audience.
 
The "World’s Most Beautiful Horse" will win $3,500 in cash and additional product prizes. Second place will get $1,000 and third $500. These cash prizes may increase based on the number of entries received.
    
So, do you still think your horse has the “right stuff?” Applications for the World’s Most Beautiful Horse are available online at www.midwesthorsefair.com. Entries can be submitted online or by mail.
