I like him hes lovely. And to be honest he is your horse you should do what you want with him be it showing/dressage etc etc.
If you want to show then do it, dont let people put you off as hes not what they like.

Showing is so subjective anyway what one judge doesnt like might be another judges ideal. If you enjoy it then do it, shame not to as hes nice

I did read your other post by the way Im not just randomly posting about shows lol.
 
Hate showing - far too subjective! The day they make judges talk into mikes explaining what and why they're making their decisions is the day I'll take it seriously. Sorry for mild rant!

Just enjoy your horse hun and ignore the dingbats.
 
Who is saying nasty things about him?

Get out there showing! I much prefer the traditional chunky welsh cobs as opposed to the fine 'araby' ones, and a number of judges do as well.
 
ignore them, christ only knows how many people have said horrible things about jazz, fwiw i think he is gorgeous. i think you best bet is to take him to a larger unaffliefed show and see how he does.
 
Yup, I have looked at the new photos and still love him! Take no notice, he is a lovely stamp of a proper traditional welsh cob
 
He is really lovely - as said above a beautiful traditional sec d. It is unfortunaten that there is a fashion amongst some judges and breeders for very araby WC's at the mo - but their are plenty of judges that prefer the more trad type. If you look at the pictures in the older WPCS Journals they all look like yours

I only wish my old sec D had been more like yours rather than a flighty showy little g*t!

i agree here... we sometimes joke that one day the judge will ask to see what trailer/lorry the horse travelled in, as it feels soooo snobby too!

i think he's deeeelish. i love big chunky welshies. (if indeed that is what he is!- i suck at these things)

Years ago , I went to a local show for a nosey .
I looked at the native breeds class & the winner was a Welsh mountain type ( I'm not good at breeds either ! ) He was very handsome , but an older Connemara mare took my fancy .

The Connemara was unplaced , but I said to the owner what a lovely horse she had & she burst into tears , saying her mare had never been placed . I got a few rides on the connemara afterwards & she was lovely . I really don't like showing , much prefer to see what the horse actually does under saddle in terms of behaviour rather than looks .

Gwen LP - Is that Jazz in your pics ? If so , I think he's gorgeous

Just keep showing him if you enjoy it i personally think he is gorgeous and everyone knows that showing is just what the judge is like you usually find that it is the finer ones that get marked down

she is the first pic in my sig i think she is very pretty, but she is a marmite horse, we have had alot of problems and people are so quick to judge without knowing the real her.

i LOVE moses and think you should ignore the comments and keep showing. he is just as stunning in real life, lovely type
 
He is a nice boy, he has a good front end and shoulder.

From a judges point of view and this is what i would think would mark him down conformationaly is his hock is a little too straight, he is slightly bum high and a little long in the back. It is those things which would go against him tbh.

But have fun with him, nothing is perfect, and he looks a cracking type!
