Yay! The breed is having it's first official contest! This is a great way to start out with your first Shrubb.

In the Train-A-Shrubb Challenge, everybody who participates gets 1 adolescent foal from the "round-up" from the Shrubb farm Starter Group. (That would be the mix of adult Shrubbs in a large(60 acre) range, males and females, and the resulting foals rounded up are considered "starters".) They are all 3 years old, trainable, and (hardly)rideable.  The goal of this challenge is to train a wild Shrubb that has never been handled(except for branding and being rounded up into adoption corrals) into a perfectly good competition horse. The one who has the best storyline and the executed the images best wins a sum of 100 :points:

- To join the challenge, you have to post on this journal you're joining, and pay a 5 point adoption fee for your horse. dAhub may be helpful if you have no points. Joining deadline is April 27th, because I'm going to make as many Shrubbs as people who join and then you still have time to adopt.

- To begin, you have to claim your foal between April 16th and May 1st. There will be all colors of horses, but all natural colors. But you must use the halter style(color can be changed) and stick to the design on the foal.

- The challenge deadline is on July 17th, so all required drawings and stories must be completed by then or the Shrubb is rehomed. If you complete all of the tasks and drawings, you are allowed to keep the Shrubb.


- Each drawing must be accompanied by a 3 or more paragraph story. Remember, this will affect your overall score, so make it go along with the image well!




You must do each of the following drawings, in any medium you want, in order with the foal you adopt. You are not allowed to use linearts, but you may trace stock if the owner allows.

* Taking home the horse
For this step, you must create a picture of the Shrubb being caught to load into the trailer, or being led into the trailer.

* New enclosure
The horse interacting with it's new enclosure in some way, eg. drinking water, rolling around.

* Getting to know
Attempting to pet or get near your horse; getting to know it better.

* Haltering
Trying to get the halter on your horse for the first time. You must use the official Shrubb halter.

* First walk
Taking/attempting to go on a walk with your horse haltered and leading.

* Lunging on a lead line
Lunging your horse around a corral on a lead line, or attempting to.

* Bridling
Putting the bridle on your horse for the first time, or trying to.

* Saddling
Putting an empty saddle on your horse for the first time.

* Mounting
A picture of either sitting on the horse or trying to mount for the first time.

* First ride
Riding your horse for the first time or getting bucked off for the first time.

* First training
The first training in the desired discipline. (Cross-Country, Endurance, and Show Jumping)

* Quality time
This can be a trail ride, a grooming, anything you wish. But it has to be your character bonding with your horse.

* Second training
Pretty much same as First Training, but in the same discipline and for the second time.

* First show
A mock-entry for the horse's first show in it's somewhat trained discipline. (Note: This is not an official show, it's a made-up.)

* Discipline practice
A run through a course in the discipline of choice on your horse.

* Second show
Another mock-entry in a higher level show in the trained discipline. See the note on First Show.

* Bareback ride
A bareback ride on your horse; no bridle, saddle, or halter or anything.

* Personality portrait
A picture showing your horse being itself, e.g. begging for treats, rolling around, nibbling at pockets, or rearing!


As said above, all prompts above are necessary and should be done in order. Please submit them to the group when done with them, and happy drawing! Feel free to sign up any time.

All you have to do is just find a horse to make into one, adopt auction or what not, and send a note to the group with the name and ref/breaking in picture so I can register it. Oh, and join the group. :)
