Yes!
Same tack as weight hunters.
As for pics none to hand will try google for them!

Exactly the same as any ridden hunter class

Wouldnt say he is chunky eno for a small hunter class. More riding horse weight he looks.

 

[SSM]

I thought the same, tack and turnout is the same, except with a coloured browband.

 

[popp]

hes in a m/w saddle and has huge shoulders not tb type def middle weight

 

[SSM]

Donkey does Ridden Horse classes too - and she is wide with shoulders!:

 

[popp]

so you think riding horse?

 

[dianchi]

My TB is in a M/W saddle is def a riding horse.
How big is he? For weight hunter classes he needs to be around 16.2hh

 

[popp]

small hunters 15.2 isnt it?

 

[dianchi]

Small hunters and small riding horses are not to exceed 15.2hh

i love the name do you use a double bridle or a pelham? xx

 

[SSM]

I'ts not her real name, just her outlook on life

I use a double but am thinking of trying a rugby pelham again.

i would agree that he looks much more like a Riding Horse than a Small Hunter.
From your photos he looks as if he has the quality for the riding horse but lacks the bone for a small hunter.

I used to show my boy in small hunters although he too would swap into riding horses occassionally but really had too much bone and a hunter head for the riding horse classes.

 

[volatis]

definatly not a small hunter, Try small riding horse classes, double bridle or prelham with slip head, and coloured browband

I agree with others - he looks to lack bone for small hunter classes so maybe try Riding Horse. How big is he?

 

[popp]

hes 15.2
