....X with a Welsh cob (I was told Welsh Cob but a bit vague on what eactly as the pony is skewbald!) So the little pony is around 11hh. As I say she is a Welsh section A but not a pure bred as she is coloured. What in hand classes could I take her in? I was reading somewhere tht some classes take Welsh Section As but no skewbalds/piebalds!
 
You can't even do M&M classes that allow unreg ponies as they still need to be true to type and as you know, Sec A's don't come coloured. You'd need to plait really, That'll open up far more for you to do, hunter pony, part bred classes, generic best condition etc :)

So she can't enter Mountain and Moorland unregistered or she can but prob won't do very well as she's skewbald? So I can enter part bred classes and so all classes otherwise she needs to be plaited? Can she go in the hunter class only being 11hh or so? Sorry showings all a bit vague to me but will do some more googling :)

ETA: She is beautifully marked IMO, not that I really know...I guess I could go in in-hand coloured classes too

Most shows have in hand coloured classes, cross breeds generally are expected to be plaited anyway so you could do show hunter pony or under 14.2hh. How old? Youngstock/vetran or borrow a child and do leidrein equitation etc.... Post a pic if you can so people ccan give a more tailored advice :)
 
I thought pictures may be of use but I didn't want to bore anyone :) I only got her this week so don't have the best pics yet and of course it is winter so wondering how she will look in summer! She is around 4 1/2 years old.

As I say I think she's fairly pretty but then I would be biased and know not a lot about in hand showing so feel free to tell me your thoughts. Thank you in advance :)
