sorry but what is NAN???
NAN is North American Nationals. One part of the model horse hobby is Live Shows. Yes, horse shows, based on real shows with judges. There are breed classes, where the horses are judged on breed standards or finishwork if it’s workmanship classes. There is also performance, where a horse is judged on ability to perform, set-up, etc. If the show is NAN-qualified, that means that the first and second place horses from each class are qualified to show at the national competetion, where they can win Champion, Reserve, or Top Ten.
I know “showing” kind of seems like a wierd concept to some, but it’s the same as the Model Railroaders, or other Miniaturists having competitions. It’s just another way to participate in the hobby, and get together with people with similar tastes and interests and share their lovely horses. 🙂
