Mimic Contest

Post by Devolare »

I've decided to come up with a fun new contest. The object of the contest is to get a horse that most closely resembles the one that I put up (in conformation as well as color, not necessarily breed). I'll keep my horse up for two weeks and if you manage to get a horse that looks the part, I'll give you $10k. In two weeks time, I'll put up a new horse that people can try to match. The horses will range in color, shape, and size... no repeats.

Rules~
  • Only enter your own horses
  • Enter as many as you want; only the top horse will get the $10k tho
  • Deadline is in two weeks
This week's horse is:
Buoyant Tropic



Think you can match my horse?

What a fun and unique contest idea! Are you measuring purely on the conformation and color, or are you taking into account variables such as fitness and hair thickness (for the mane and tail)? Regardless, here's the closest I've got:

Basically, it's the horse that looks the closest overall (ie. body and mane/tail color, conformation, mane/tail length and thickness, etc). The only thing I'm not taking into account are things like breed or COI% because I'm basing it on looks alone. I'm thinking that I'll make a spread sheet with a list of all the characteristics, and whichever horse hits the most wins. In the event that there is more than one horse that get the same number "points" when I tally up the characteristics, then all of the horses will get the 10k.

Entries close 2/17. I'll be putting up the winners the following day along with the next horse to mimic! Since I did a taller drafty horse this time, the theme for the next one will be a skinnier, smaller horse type.
