thankyou to those that gave me some advice on showing. i took my new forest to gwendraeth show yesterday and decided on the way that i was going to do the small hunter class for 15.2hh and under. my pony went beautifully for me and i didnt realise that the judge would ride him !! but again he went beautifully!!!!! the result was that i came 1st!!!!!!!! against 14.2hh and up!! my pony is 13.2hh. then went through to the championship and got reserve!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ive now qualified for the south west pony championships in september!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the judge did say that he would have prefered to see him in the working hunter pony due to his height (but i dont like jumping at shows) so i took him in the hunter class as it did not state min height-anyway, he got first despite his height as the judge said he is a really good qaulity pony, now im worried that in sep i am going to be heavily penalised due to his height??????? even though ive qualified. He does need a little more topline which would make him look alot bigger as he does muscle up well too. Any thaughts on this and how does the classes at the swpa work??????????????????
Thankyou if you managed to read all this!!!!!
