Performance is very different at Candyland Live. All class are titled with a loose theme and it's up to the shower to run with the interpretation. We will not be awarding champs to horses but to the shower in this division, though the horses will win the ribbons! You are allowed to show as many horses as you like or campaign one horse for a special prize. All classes are named after movies as well for an additional venue of ideas. This division is about creativity, versatility and depth. There are only seven classes and no real limits on set up time, size or complexity. There are no wrong answers, go for it!

 

1. Round One - License to Drive: The theme is about driving, or cars or driving and cars or the Cory’s, go wild!

2. Round Two - Once Upon a Time in the West: The West says it all. Or does it? Gets western as you want! Modern, historical, show style or natural, it’s up to you.

3. Round Three - The English Patient: The English discipline or history is highlighted here and that the only requirement.

4. Round Four - 21 Jump Street: The obstacle and jumping class, interpret it how you like but get those horses hopping!

5. Round Five - Diamonds are Forever: The Bling class, this one is for luxury and shine and not just diamonds, show us your haute couture.

6. Round Six - Rainbow Brite: Rainbows are the theme and meme, get crazy!

7. Round Seven - Arabian Nights: Regalia or costumes welcome here, doesn't just have to be Arabian! Native American, Indian, Japanese..the possibilities!

8. Round 8 - Josie and the Pussy Cats: We need felines! Big, small, tame feral, big cats, house cats, we just want to see some puddy tat style in your entry.

9. Round 9 - Halloween - All the booo, scary, fun All Hollow's Eve theme

10. Round 10 - Anything Goes: The title says it all, entrant's choice!
