Advice please?

Monty is rising 7 and not done alot so I want to get him out and about a bit this year.
Going to do some dressage and possible jumping (once he's learnt to jump it not run round it

) but was wondering what showing classes I could put him in?
He is 17hh, saddlebred x registered part bred arab.

He does'nt have the long mane now.

Thanks

How gorgeous is he?!? Cant really help you on the showing side, but I would say too big for large Riding Horse - would you get away with PBA class I wonder? You could show him in RC Horse. I have the same problem with my Shire - dont think they would let him in Native or M&M

Umm, no he may be a little too big

not sure on what classes you should do, i have a native type, but i have to say he is a very handsome chap indeed and would do well in some ridden horse classes

Is there a limit on size in Large Riding Horse????

Maybe Potential Competition Horse.... 8 and under I think.

Working Hunter if he has a nice jump on him.

Riding Club Horse as previously mentioned.

Cant think of any more at the moment... but think he is lovely!!

wow! What a lovely horse!

Lightweight show hunter? How much bone does he have?

 

[sallyellis]

I would say part bred arab obviously and riding horse classes but you need to look at each individual show as they sometimes have different classes which would suit him... Good luck I love him!

He is STUNNING!

He is gorgeous - have you had him long?
You could always show him in the BPS (Palomino) or some of the coloured classes. Then you don't have to pull or plait the mane.
Just showed his piccy to my OH and he thought it was one of our mares!!! Lol!

OMG he looks the spitting image of a little 3 year old at our yard! He is Saddlebred/arab, where did you get him from? i am sure they must be related! His owner wants to show him this summer in youngstock and palomino classes. Know she is a member of the British Palomino Society, maybe contact them, look at their web site?

Thanks everyone

I bought him in July 07 and we have had a few teething problems but he's an absolute star now

 

[malibu211211]

His posh name is Roundhill's Gold Montana

He is by Moonshine Vision and out of Roundhill's Hawaiian Sensation.

Please could you find out if they are related? I know there's alot of Roundhills about but would love to see piccies of Monty's siblings.
Monty was kept entire 'til he was 2 1/2 but no registered offspring

You should see him when he does his spectacular mud wallow

Will have a look at the BPS website, thanks

He is lovely, can you show him as a PBA then? He would do really well.

 

[malibu211211]

He is registered so I guess so

I don't think he looks very arab like though so don't know whether he'd do well

 

[Seahorse]

Its better if they don't look very araby when being shown as a part bred arab.

They should have a nice head and the movement but other than that not look anything like an arab at all!
