showing

Hello , hope someone much more knowledgeable can help . We have a beautiful little Shetland pony who we have had for a year . Typical Shetland personality and very pretty and correct . We are hoping to go to our first show in a few months but can anyone advise on leaders turnout . We have...

Afternoon everyone! Looking to do some small local showing classes with my mare this summer. I am reluctant to hog until I see if she enjoys herself or not. Would I be better plaiting or just tidying and leaving her mane? (It's about half way down her neck at the moment) She's around 15.2...

What classes can I show my Welsh section C 3 year old gelding in? And how should I turn him out? He is not registered & no breed/recorded breeding in his passport. His previous owner purchased him as a Welsh C part bred colt, no knowledge of dam or sire. He looks like a full Welsh, others have...

I am very new to showing, but I have had a go with my ID x gelding. I was looking at ways to enhance and highlight his appearance further- but I wondered, is it correct to do quarter marks for a draft type in in-hand showing? He will be doing veteran, part-bred and possibly cob-type (we cant do...

I will be going to my first show with my horse in 2 weeks time. He is a chestnut ID X and for now we will just be doing in hand. I have sorted myself with a jacket, its a toad green tweed with a tan faux suede collar. I am however stuck on what colour shirt and tie I should be getting? Can...

Ok, since the git is 28 and looking fabulous, I’m thinking of showing him in hand. How much would you charge for preparing and showing said pony?

Adding onto my previous post, this is my first year competing at the Sunshine Tour - it's also the largest show me and my Welsh C mare have been too, we've only ever done local shows. We're competing in Family Horse and Pony, in hand and ridden M&M. My friend is also competing in the ridden...

Me and my pony have qualified for the Family Horse and Pony Class at the Sunshine Tour, What's involved with this? The qualifier just involved a individual show and small jump, however I've seen people say they have had to get off and remount, have multiple people ride, a ride judge and/or jump...

I normally compete dressage but I’m going with a friend to a local showing show next weekend. My boy is a 17hh thoroughbred ex racer. I have the option of either competing in a black dressage bridle and black dressage saddle or brown Hunter bridle and black dressage saddle. Would it be better...

Hello, I was thinking of loaning out my dartmoor (lead rein) and my miniature horse (BMHS) to affiliated show homes, but I have no idea how to work out the appropriate prices for either of them. What do you charge or know that others may charge that is a fair price? Also, what arrangements is...

I have an ex racer on loan and we normally do dressage, but I’ve got the opportunity to take him to a local showing show, but I’m so confused about how we need to dress! We’d be doing ridden veteran and Over 14.2hh ridden (inc RoR). He’s a 17y/o 17.1 thoroughbred. I have a plain snaffle bridle...

Showing fans I'd like your expertise: I have a 15.3hh (approx, need to get him measured) coloured cob. I've bought him as an all-rounder and I'd like to try some showing with him. He's currently trimmed with clipped feathers, but does grow a good amount of feather and flowing mane. I'm wondering...

I have a very fair Haflinger mare who looks practically palomino. She's suffered from a severe allergic reaction to fly bites. I've got a show booked in a few weeks which I can't cancel. By that stage of the bites healing she'll still have bald spots and a few scabs. Has anyone had any luck...
