I've just got the 'show' bug and so far have been focusing on 2ft and 2"3 jumping classes and have also recently done my first 2 dressage tests.

I want to get better at both but also fancy having a go at some showing classes too.

Do most people tend to focus on a few things or should I just have a go at everything?

Have a go at whatever you fancy! So long as your horse is eligible for the class (ie you're not taking a TB into a Mountain and Moorland class, etc) go and enjoy yourself!

The max number of classes I tend to do with Genie is 3, although it depends on the show and what's on. I'm aiming to have a go at showjumping by the end of the season (I'm a wuss at jumping).
 
Yay!!

I've got a 14.1 welsh x arab so thought i might have a go at riding classes and WHP this weekend!
 
I do working/ridden hunter, one day events, dressage, combined training, and as many pleasure rides as possible. I don't show jump as in purely show jump anymore as my horse is too unreliable with spooky fillers and I have a slipped disc as a result but I would LOVE to do jump cross (as no fillers). I have also promised to take my boy to the gallops! I think getting stuck in the one discipline can turn your horse sour.
 
i go a bit crazy with my mare - mainly polo, but then also polocrosse, hunting, sj, maybe xc too, lots of pleasure rides. i would do dressage too - if i had time to school for it!

If your horse is up to it, why not?
 
My horses jump BSJA at Newcomers & Fox, but we also like to enter them in Dressage as it's a good way of monitoring their flatwork progress & we actually do quite well in it. Along with that sometimes we do Riding Club Horse & Working Hunter at our local riding club. It supports the club & we find it relaxing with nothing like the stress etc of BSJA.

In short we believe in enjoying your horses & doing what you want to do with them regardless of others views.

I don't do a lot of anything, but we do in-hand and ridden showing and dressage. I am hoping to do working hunter next year, and have done one driving trial, so do ride & drive at home too.
