Models in the Mountains 2022

Models in the Mountains 2022 is a model horse enthusiast's mountain retreat and  Western Conference of Model Horse Showers Member Show, and in 2022 will likely return to being a NAN qualifier show.  We are located in the Angeles National Forest, Los Angeles County, California, in Chilao Campground. You can see lots of images from previous MIM events on the photo gallery pages, and we've left up some of the information from 2020 and 2021 on this page.  We held shows both years. The date for the 2022 show has not been determined.   We will have an art day and slumber party on Friday, Then Saturday moring we will transform the school into a show hall for a live halter show.  We have four divisions - OF Breyer and Other, OF Peter Stone, Custom, and Artist Resin. Judges will be able to show in other divisions but NOT the division they are judging.   We have great local scenery if you are also a photo shower, or like to hike/bicycle/walk/birdwatch.  In addition to hosting the show we also operate The Model Horse Store at Chilao School.  We offer Breyer model horses for sale and Breyer products as prizes.  We also very much appreciate prize donations.

March 23, 2021 Update - we are having The Little MIM 2021...twelve showers, a  no-workshop open creative day on Friday and sleepover Friday night.  As of today there are no more available shower slots.  There will be a total of twelve showers, and we will not be a NAN qualifier this year, nor will we have a NaMoPaiMo division.  We will still have food, fun, and be able to get away from the madness that seems to be the theme of the last two years.  We're doing a flat fee of $50.00, and you can bring all the ponies you want.

A  little bit about Models in the Mountains 2021 (MIM 2021) The show is held at Chilao School, which is owned by the non profit foundation Redbird.  Arts, cultural and environmental programs here are free both to organizers and to the public.  Chilao School operates on donations.  The school is located in a campground.  But you don't have to rent a campsite if you plan on staying all or part of the weekend.  You can camp here if you like.  The configuration of the driveway favors smaller recreational vehicles, but we can usually find room for larger ones nearby.  We have a sleepover in the school on Friday night.

A note about our local climate.  It has absolutely changed over the past 100 years, 50 years, and 5 years.  100 years ago, at 5,265 feet, we had true alpine forest as evidenced by historic photos.  We now have a sub-alpine-desert transition environment (literally, it transitions on the property).   What will the weather be like for the show?  We have no idea.  But let's imagine it perfect...not too hot, not too cold, not windy.  Just in case it isn't quite perfect, we recommend you bring a variety of clothing items, from summer to winter wear.

There is both telephone service and internet access at the caretaker residence, about 300 feet from the school.  Cell phones do not work in the forest, so please let your loved ones know that you'll call or text them after you arrive.
