Honest Opinions please - is she nice enough for Hunter classes

To be honest, she looks a bit upright to me and lacking a bit of quality and blood to be RDS hunter standard.
She needs to be giving a VERY nice ride to get ot that level, and there looks like much schooling to be done. She is a little coarse in the head for top level stuff I would say.

However! She is a lovely type and looks to have a nice attitude and willing nature. She has a lot of maturing to do. Maybe the coloured classses, as if she measure out of small huntes she will be dwarfed by massive half breds! How much Tb does she have?

There're loads of county shows so maybe this can be an option?

Nice mare, I don't mean to be uber critical I am just giving my honest opinion. Feel utterly free tototally disregard it!
 
Aiming for Coloured class in RDS not the hunter class in the RDS...
Her Damsire is Ardcrony Lad V - so she just has a v small percentage of TB in her.
She actually looks much better in real life, like me she is not very photogenic lol.

I honestly think that with a bit of time spent correctly schooling to build up correct muscle and topline, bit of time spent getting her coat into condition (good feeding and rugging), and a good make over (both turnout and trimming- Tweed for you, brown tack for her), there will be a BIG difference.

I would say though she is not really a hunter type for showing- they tend to have distinct quality at the top levels, and she seems to be a more all-round looking sort of horse (though still lovely!!)

Really work on your turnout and schooling and showring- craftsmanship (watch lots of classes) and I can see no reason why she wont hold her own in higher level coloured classes and lower level hunter classes.

Good Luck! :)
 
Thank you:) She will be getting a huge makeover next week, she is going to be in horsey bootcamp this wk lol as I am away for the week so my instructor is schooling her for me... She is well rugged BUT is shedding bucketloads at the moment which is a pain.
