After much thought, think my boy is best suited to the small hunter classes as he is ISH but Connie x ID, so can't do any "pure bred" classes....

Thought it would be fun to see some pics of everyone else's......we will be competing this season in these classes at county shows.....

Thanks Gem
 
This is Titchy, my prospective small hunter. This will be her first ridden season as a 4yo. She's standing at about 15.1hh. :)

We are going to concentrate on Veteran classes now though as she is 16 so that picture is probably the last one of her competing in a small hunter class she was 15.

This is my boy, just been measured today.....wasn't sure weather he was more of a riding horse or hunter.....but after reading other threads think he is best suited to a small hunter......
 
This is my connie x ID doing his first hunter class...

(the judge riding)

My aim is to get him going in a double this year to do small hunter and WH (and put him in a more appropriate noseband! :)).

Are you keeping her now then? I thought you felt too big for her.

Depends how quick she sells! If I still have her start of the show season I have a jockey for her who is riding her at weekends for me and competing her for the first time this weekend. :D I've ridden her a grand total of 3 times and still feel enormous on her!!!

It was a local show and a show hunter class (not small hunter). I think we came 4th - we were pulled in 2nd, but for some reason the judge decided to move the person who was 4th and whose horse was bucking and rearing up to 2nd. The person who was 3rd's horse was definitely better schooled than my boy, so didn't mind that :D.

We did one other show hunter last year and also came 4th but out of a bigger class. The main comment from both was that he 'needed to be in a more adult bit' (he was in a rubber bit). Can't wait to get him out again this year!
 
that wasn't a small hunter class but she was 5th anyway.

She was good enough to get placed at a decent agricultural show, but outclassed at a bigger County show. At bang on 15.2 she was too small. She has workmanlike paces, so nowhere near good enough for county level. She does give a fantastic ride and has a canter you could sit on all day, this would usually move her up the ranks.
 
Us! We've done small hunter, but always suffer from being TOO small, despite being (a small) 15h. We usually do much better at working hunter, as we like to jump! She isn't the easiest to ride, so I dread it when the ride judges get on!!

My other good photos are copyright, so this is her in 'eventing' mode!

well sort of......
at 15hh she's on the small side, and I'm too old for SHP classes lol
she's a cracking little horse but sadly "too" small and we can quite often be seen at the bottom of the line, strangely enough she does better in sports horse classes ;)
