OMHPS- how to load performance pics

      I love the setup of the Online Model Horse Photo Show site. But it can be a little bit confusing at times. Especially if you show performance. Though once you get everything set up you have all of your photos for each horse nestled all together in one spot. I really like the format a lot. It is easy to see which shows/classes you have your horse entered in, all the classes/shows it has previously been entered in, any placings from past shows, as well as their awards. But there are several steps to go through before you get to that. 

      The very first thing you need to do before you can get to performance pictures is create your horse. Here is a step by step list of how to do that. 

1. From your My Horses page click on Add New. 

2. Enter the horse information (name, make size, gender, breed) and your main horse photo. This is typically where I put the horse's halter picture. 

3. From the same page you can click on the tabs for references, workmanship, or collectability and add any information on the horse on those pages. 

4. Click on create at the bottom of the page. You cannot add performance until you have done these steps (at least the horse page, you can do references, workmanship and collectability at another time if you choose).

5. Now you can add your performance entries. Go to your My Horses page. Click on the horse you want to add performance photos of. We are using Halestorm as an example. At the bottom of that horse's page (or on their picture on your My Horses page) click on edit. (alternately you can just click edit on it's thumbnail photo on your main My Horses Page)

6. On the new page that comes up now you can click on performance (do it). 

7. At the top of the page click on Add New.

8. Now you can enter one performance entry, for example a western trail entry. There is a drop down menu (under the word performance). You would choose western trail. Then you can add a description, any reference you need (a description of what the horse is doing, a link to an outside source, etc.) and you can also add reference images (this is usually where I put the picture of my pattern, or a photo of a similar horse doing a similar thing). Once you have the entry complete click on I'm not a robot and Create. 

9. Now that you have one performance entry in for your horse repeat steps 5-8 again. When you are done adding all of the entries for one horse they will all be nested together in one place. After that, move onto the next horse and its entries. Happy showing!
