So B has done relatively nothing (which is why he is now fat, rather unkempt and a bit of a couch potato) due to me being away, and me not being well.
He's coming back into work this week, and the yard has a local show in the next 2 weeks - someone suggested to me about trying him in the show cob class. If I do, it gives me a goal and it isn't as hard work on him as a jumping class. He isn't always the best in a ride situation, likes to chase other horses, and working to an outline and using himself is a work in progress he's still learning (but slowly getting there) - I also have no idea what to do in a showing class.
He has no recorded breeding, is currently hairy and fat and I'm not prepared to hog him, so would he be able to do it?
Also, would the fact his canter is more of a shuffle on 4 legs play a huge part in where he is placed?
And what is the required attire?
here he is in all his muddy, hairy glory.
he's also currently going through his awkward ugly coat phase where the dark winter coat falls out, leaves him dusty, dull and even more hairy looking and his nicer, shinier, lighter summer coat comes through in patches.
