[JJtheJetPlane]

Hey finally got round to taking my girl to her first showing class today she was fab, behaved well and was totally unphased. We got 4th out of 10 / 12 people so im more than happy
Here are some photos anyway.What do you think??.... do we have potential for medium weight? ( It was a mixed hunter class today ) The first three were huge made mine look like a pony at 16.3 !

Please be kind !

Well done. she is beautiful and looks in great condition. No idea about what class she should be in as i am not a showing type, but that chestnut that one looks mahoosive in the pic of the line up.
what show was that?

Had to tell but I would say she is a L/W hunter. Far better to be a "bigger" L/W that a smaller M/W...if that makes sense.

This is my boy and he does L/W.

Ahh thanks guys
The chestnut was HUGE she won , her horse moved beautifully so light for such a big horse ...It must have been nearly 18 hh for sure It was Eccleshall show in staffordshire

Your horse is stunning !! So shiny !!
I totally agree i dont want to be a small middle weight if i could be a big light weight ..She is 16.3 with 9 1/2 inches of bone but carries quite a lot of body...Would i be eligible for LW??

Thank you. That was taken at the evening performance at P UK last year. All the floodlights made him very shiny!!! He is 16.2 1/2 with the same amount of bone as your mare. He certainly did not look big compared to the others. I would try L/W. The judge will advise you if he thinks you are in the wrong class.

We also once went in small hunter class by mistake..........we were in a hurry and thought it was our class. He didn't look over big in that either believe it or not!!!

LW it is then !! thanks for your help

Well done you
