In hand showing

[marinitagsd]

Hi everyone, just wondering what you show enthusiasts think of my just 5yr old baby girl as far as in hand showing goes, do you think its worth a go? I haven't done it before but so many people comment on her that it made me think. Her mum is an All Ireland Res Show Champion so it is in her bloodlines but I know nothing about showing!! lol
I did post this pic last week along with others saying how proud I was of my girls so sorry for repeating it but hopefully it gives you an idea of her conformation.

Thanks in advance
Anita

I think you should give it ago. She looks a lovely mare and is very pretty Like you said she has it in her blood so hopefully she should follow her mothers footsteps.

If you do decide to show her good luck and have fun

Thanks so much for your reply. I think I will give it a go but don't know what I'm supposed to do so any help would be gratefully received! i.e. which class, does she need to be plaited up, what am I expected to do with her etc She is a reg sports horse, three quarter TB
Thanks x

I am not big in to showing myself but i have done quite a bit in the past tho. I wouldn't be 100% sure of what classes to do. But if you go to Hereford Equestrian Directory and then click on CLASIFIED ADVERTS AND JOBS and then click on EQUIPMENT, INCLUDING SECONDHAND and at the top of the page there is a blue box with the title HOW TO AND HOW NOT TO SHOW YOUR HORSE/PONY written by Liz Langford.

The book is £2.50 + £1.50 P&P

Hope this is helpful to you.
