Pulled my 2yr old out of the field yesterday and took him to a small, local show. It was his first time ever and I was thrilled with his behaviour but more so with how he scrubbed up! From being a very pretty foal, he was then hit with the fugly stick as different body parts grew at different rates, but I was amazed at what a few rough plaits can do!
I'm now thinking that instead of leaving him virtually feral in the field, he lives out 24/7 all year round, I ought to produce him properly for some in hand shows next year.
My query is are there many classes about for small in hand horses? He stands just over 15h at the moment and I'm hoping he'll mature to 15.2. Are there classes for small riding horses and hunters and if so, which is he? He moves well enough for the in hand sport horse classes but will he be looked down on for being little?
