Pics- which showing class?

[Koda]

I want to do some showing this summer but not sure what class my mare would be suitable for. I used to do alot of pony showing, but I haven't a clue about the classes for horses.

She is 16.2hh, 13yo, no breeding recorded unfortunately. She works in a lovely shape and will jump anything. I have a double bridle and GP saddle. I was thinking Working Hunter, but I don't know how the classes are classified (by height, weight carrying, age??). I'd like to do classes with no jumping too. I'm up for everything that she's suitable for really! Any ideas?
Here's 2 pics of her:

I hope the link works, I've never tried posting pics before. Thanks!

I've only done local level stuff so no expert - but how about riding club horse classes?

I think working hunter at local level is usually split into ponies & horses, and sometimes cob depending on the type of show.

Light weight hunter maybe rather than riding horse as I think she has a bit too mcuh bone for a RH.

She is lovely

if she jumps well working hunter too!

crikey, she is the absolute spitting image of my mare!!! Had to do a double take when I opened the pic! Your's is a whole inch taller, but otherwise looks incredibly similar!! I am planning on trying riding horse / riding club horse (often a little jump too) / working hunter. Trying these as I'm not quite sure which category she fits into best. Although she has a little too much bone for riding horse, she isn't anywhere near the 'roundness' I see in sucessful hunters around here - and I don't want her to be! I think this makes her look a little lighter than she is as she is a good, fit, lean build and I want to keep that! Best of luck with your, very very beautiful, mare!

Local working hunter is usually classified as horse/pony and then sub divided into height of fences

County working hunter is Novice (3'3 ish )and Open (3'6 - 3'9) - defnied by class/money winnings. It can also be divided by weights as well (lightweight - capable of carrying up to 14 stone 7) and heavyweight (over 14/7)

The classes are judged on jumping - style and performance - and then ride and conformation with separate marks for each section, which are then added up for the final result. Generally speaking, you have to jump a clear round to get into the next part.
