Cob, hunter or something else?

[Spiritedly]

Having a discussion with a friend about what our 'nanny' horse would be classed as if we decided to show her....We won't be as she dishes....So what would people class her as?
Sorry the photos not very good but it's the best I could find, I also know she's over weight but she has lost some since she arrived...

She's 15.1-2 ish

Umm, probably lightweight hunter? She doesn't really fit the riding horse type but is probably too small for hunter...

Shes not a cob, but I'm rubbish at hunter weights, so not sure where she'd fit, so not much help really

Small hunter if she only 15.2

Could she be a show hunter? If she was plaited and pulled? Or is she too chunky?

Show hunters go into weight categories. Light, middle, heavy or small I believe.

She can go in small hunter classes.

Agree small hunter

Think I've mixed up a handful of aspects into one there! Whoops, lol!

Small hunter, although if just a local show, riding horse or RC horse. At local level dishing wouldn't be a great problem but obviously she wouldn't be able to go further. If she's well-behaved and willing though, you could probably have fun with her locally. If she jumps you could also do WH locally, often so many have problems with the jumping that confo/way of going isn't the decider as it would be at a higher level.

Thank you everyone. I thought she was a hunter type.

She's very similar to my mare who I show as a small hunter type

Yup - thats her as a 4 year old, this is her now as an 8 year old (she'd just had a bath)

What breeding is she? This is a face view of mine. It's good to know I was right in thinking she has a hunter look it's just a shame she moves like camel.

Her mom was IDxTB and dad was next door's coloured cob (he jumped the fence I believe).
