I made some last minute corrections to the final results and they are now posted here under the More tab, Results. I hope everything is correct now! I have also posted the Overall Champions and Overall Reserve Champions photos in the Gallery. Congrats to all the big winners!
April 1, 2026
No jokes today! I'm busy compiling results now, which will be finished next week. I will then post the final results here, along with photos of my Overall Grand and Overall Reserve Grand winners. Thanks again to everyone who came out to the show and I hope everyone had a great time. Mark your calendars for March 20, 2027 and we'll do it all again!
March 12, 2026
One week to go until the show! I have updated the class lists to reflect the addition of a deco class in Collectibility for Stone and Breyer minis. Please print out the updated list and bring it with you to the show. I will have a few copies available, but not enough for everyone. Thanks and see you all soon!

OF Plastic - Dawn Shaw
OF Mini - Ryan Gagne
Artist Resin - Michelle Hansen
Custom - Ruth Sheridan
Collectibility - Martha Wells
Performance - Allison Mazurkiewicz

Had to tweak the class list - again! If you've printed out a copy, please discard that one and print out the new one that I've uploaded here. Thanks!

Just received official notice from NAMHSA that my show is NAN approved! Always good news to receive that notification. I have also updated the Rules and Regulations again with a couple of minor changes. Please make sure to read this document prior to the show! See you all soon!
January 8, 2026
Welcome to 2026! Only two months until the show - hope you're all working on your fabulous show strings! I have posted the 2026 version of the rules and regs on my web site (emeraldlifemhs.weebly.com). Please read this document prior to the show! Lots of valuable information here. I'm working on raffle items, have several great items already. I encourage all of you to bring items for the raffles also. Each piece helps support my show!
December 18, 2025
Wow, here we are staring 2026 in the face! In case you didn't read it on various Facebook sites, my show is officially full, but I am taking names for the wait list. I updated the class list and have posted it here. If you notice any glaring errors or omissions, please don't hesitate to contact me ([email protected]). There are some minor changes from 2025, but nothing radical.
November 5, 2025
I am opening the show for early entries! I had to raise the entry fee this year due to increased costs to rent our space at Emerald Downs. Unlimited entry fee is now $70 per table - still $50 for an additional table. I have updated the entry form here on the web site. NO TABLE WILL BE RESERVED WITHOUT PAYMENT - NO EXCEPTIONS! If you want to guarantee your space, please PayPal me your entry fee (F&F, please). PayPal address is: [email protected]. Hope to see you next March!
October 23, 2025
Mark your calendars for March 21, 2026 - more info to come!
April 26, 2025
My last update for Emerald Downs Live 2025! I have updated the pictures of my Overall Champs and Reserve Champs for all seven divisions, plus the Champion and Reserve Champion for the famous Third Place Class! I've also posted the final results as they were submitted to NAMHSA. Again, thank you to everyone who participated - entrants, judges, helpers - and thank you to all who donated a raffle prize. Without those amazing raffles, I couldn't possibly break even on my show.
April 13, 2025
Results for 2025 are DONE! I've emailed the final version to all of my entrants, and will be mailing the list to NAMHSA on 4/14/25. Thanks so much to everyone for helping me fill in the blanks. I'll be posting the results here along with Overall Champion and Overall Reserve Champion photos when I return from my trip, after 4/24/25.
March 26, 2025
It doesn't seem possible, but my 10th anniversary show is part of history now! Thanks to all of my amazing judges and all of you who attended the show for making it so memorable. I think the raffles were very popular, judging by ticket sales. Without those sales, I couldn't put on the show at all, so I thank you for your participation. I'm working on the results now and hope to have a first draft mailed to everyone before the weekend. I will post those results here when finalized, along with pictures of the Overall Champions and Overall Reserve Champions for all 7 divisions. See you all in 2026!
February 27, 2025
Okay, the show is less than a month away! Can't believe it! Anyway, I have made some small changes in the class list, so wanted to post that here. In the Collectibility division, I have added longears to Breyer Trad OOAK, Stone Trad OOAK, Breyer Minis and Stone Minis. Thanks to one of my entrants (you know who you are ...) for bringing this lapse to my attention! Please print out the class list posted here and bring that with you on the day of the show. I will have a few copies available, but not enough for everyone.
January 14, 2025
Well 2025 is here - no holding it back! Just a note to list my judges and provide some additional updates.
OF Stone - Mandy Hood
OF Plastic - Michelle Hansen
OF Mini - Dana Withrow-Rucker
Artist Resin - Amy McCudden
Custom - Jordan Pohlreich
Collectibility - Dawn Shaw
Performance - Allison Mazurkiewicz
The show is officially NAN-qualified - always good news! Plus I have a special announcement! Erin Michelle of Stone Horses has graciously donated a limited run Appaloosa ISH for a fabulous raffle. This model will be raffled off prior to the start of the show so the lucky winner can show him in breed and collectibility! Vigilant is a run of 15 done by Julie Keim. Everyone's name will be in the hat, no cost to you. Because I can't figure out how to add pictures to this post without screwing everything up, please go to the NAMHSA Region 1 or Model Horse Collectors of the Pacific Northwest Facebook pages for pictures. Sorry!

Hello all! Can't believe Christmas is upon us - hope you all have a wonderful holiday season, no matter how you celebrate it. Just a couple notes - I've updated the entry flyer to reflect all of my judges' names and I've made a couple of minor edits to the class list. I will be submitting my information to NAMHSA next week to allow plenty of time for NAN approval.
November 10, 2024
Well, I'm amazed to report my 2025 show is officially full - that has got to be some kind of record for me. Anyway, I have updated the entry form/flyer and the class list and posted them here. If you see any glaring errors in either document, please let me know. As an ex word processor/desktop publisher, I know how easy it is to miss your own mistakes!
November 4, 2024
I can't believe it's time to update the web site in preparation for Emerald Downs Live 2025 - my 10th anniversary show! The date is March 22, 2025 - that's right, I'm in direct competition with BreyerMidwest, or whatever they're calling it - too bad for them, I say! The best people will be right here in Auburn, Washington! I will update my entry form soon, so keep checking back. PLEASE NOTE! I am NOT accepting any "hold a table for me" requests via email, Facebook messenger, text messages, etc. That became a nightmare last year. I will only reserve a table in your name when it's accompanied by an entry form and payment. I apologize if this causes a hardship for anyone, but in order to preserve my sanity, I had to take this step.
