Live Show Questionnaire
Hobbyists can participate in our research by filling out this questionnaire. Participants are entered in quarterly raffles for model horse-related items. Raffles take place in January, April, July, and October; you'll be entered in the raffle that most closely follows the date you submit the questionnaire to me. You receive one raffle entry for each questionnaire you submit that is at least 80% complete.
This questionnaire is for model horse collectors who have attended at least one live show. Please copy and paste this questionnaire and your answers into an e-mail to me . All questions are optional; please don't feel compelled to answer questions that make you feel uncomfortable.
