Class Descriptions:

*Note: all temperatures are in degrees Fahrenheit*
DressageCheckmark 
  • Location: Held at the Spanish Riding School of Vienna (there are numerous pictures of the arena if you just do a google search)
  • Time/weather: early morning, clear sky, sun is filtering through East side windows
  • For Tokotas, Shedus, and other species, age of the mount is up to owner's discretion
  • For regular Dressage, horses must be 4+ years old (or appropriate equivalent), no prior experience required
  • For Classical Dressage (Airs above Ground), horses must be 6+ years old (or appropriate equivalent) and must have at least 1 training image or 1 prior show entry in Dressage
  • Pas de Deux and Quadrilles are acceptable (and encouraged for Classical Dressage)
Cross Country:
  • Location: Stadl-Paura was kind enough to let us use their cross country course. Here are some pictures: pferde-stadlpaura.at/pferdeaus…. The course includes ditches, streams, roll tops, and other jumps that are left up to your creativity and your horse's level :)
  • Time/weather: starts at noon, it starts to rain around 2 p.m., high 60's
  • For Tokotas, Shedus, and other species, age of the mount is up to owner's discretion
  • Horses must be 4+ (or appropriate equivalent)
Show Jumping: Checkmark 
  • Location: Vienna Masters show jumping arena. Jumps are up to your horse's level but decorations include: TARDIS wings, face card wings, and chess filler. Feel free to use others
  • Time/weather: mid-afternoon, partly cloudy, mid-70's
  • For Tokotas, Shedus, and other species, age of the mount is up to owner's discretion
  • Horse must be 4+ (or appropriate equivalent)
3DE:
  • Your character will automatically be entered if you complete entries for Dressage, XC, and Show Jumping
  • No additional entries required
Racing
  • Note: one mount may enter any or all of the divisions (flat, steeple/hurdles, and/or harness). If there are 3+ entries in each division, they will be judged separately. If not, they will be judged as one class.
  • Location: Trabrennbahn Krieau (Krieau Race Track)
  • Time/weather: flat in the morningCheckmark, steeple/hurdles in the afternoon, harness in late evening
  • For Tokotas, Shedus, and other species, age of the mount is up to owner's discretion
  • Horses must be 2+ for flat, 4+ for steeple/hurdles, and 3+ for harness (or appropriate equivalent)
  • This can be a past or present race (i.e. a horses listed as 5 years old can compete as a 3-year-old)
  • If you want your flight-capable horse to race, there will be a lap around the city starting on the roof of Hellbrunn Palace starting at dawn. The course will have markers in the sky and referees scattered along rooftops below to avoid foul play

Vaulting:
  • Location: the Höldrichsmühle Hotel Restaurant indoor arena, where competitors have the option of staying and boarding their mounts
  • Time/weather: morning, high 70's, clear skies
  • For Tokotas, Shedus, and other species, age of the mount is up to owner's discretion
  • Horses must be 6+ (or appropriate equivalent)
  • Riders must be 5+ (or appropriate equivalent)
  • Costumes should cover private parts but otherwise are only limited by your imagination and safety
Magic:
  • Location: Mostviertel, about an hour and a half outside of Vienna. It's a beautiful countryside with rolling meadows, misty areas, mountains, and even a monastery. We'd like to keep magic away from locals just to be on the safe side, but other than that, feel free to draw your character(s) in any area
  • Time/weather: This class runs all day and into the night to give ample opportunity for you to showcase your magic. Temperature will be around: 64 in the early morning, 78 around noon, 50 in the evening. The mountains will obviously be cooler than the valley but the sun may set later depending on where you are. In the early morning and late evening, mists roll into the countryside, an especially spectacular effect if you're looking down from the mountains.
  • Horses must be 1+ (or appropriate equivalent)
  • Handler is recommended but not required unless the horse is 1-2 years old
  • Magic can be anything from Asgardian-Horse magic plants to Cavitto natural powers to Nordanner potions. As long as what you're doing is clear, it counts.
LibertyCheckmark 
  • Location: Mostviertel (see pictures below, drawn on upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia…) within the red rectangle. Feel free to add summer flowers and weeds. There are options for the judges to take to the skies (any flight-capable creature in my stables if you want to include judge(s), and Brackan and Dorean can fly themselves up), so flying horses can perform routines in the air if you wish. Their routines should stay within the blue rectangle, and the height is restricted to 1,000 feet* for safety concerns
  • Time/weather: sunrise
  • For Tokotas, Shedus, and other species, age of the mount is up to owner's discretion
  • Horses must be at least 6 months (or appropriate equivalent)
  • Handler is not required
  • Music is recommended
*I had trouble finding how much airspace above their home Austrians own, so I went with the top of the average for everyone. Again, for safety reasons, please do not show an airplane if you're at the top of that limit

  • Sensory detail (sound, smell, taste, feel, sight)
  • Focus on the character who is competing
  • Other peoples' characters included (with permission; any of my horses and Stryx may be included)
