Mine gets a bit dwarfed sometimes and she's 13.2hh. However, there is no mimimum height for Foresters, any decent M+M judge should know that and not mark you down just for being small. Classes for NFs do seem to be quite thin on the ground. Apart from at Ponies UK I think mine has only ever been in a NF class twice A brown bridle would be correct for a Forester that is out of youngstock classes. Foresters are classed as M+M large breeds so if he is only 12.2hh he is going to look like a proper tiddler stood next to an up to height Sec D for example
) He passed both his stallion gradings (from what I can work out in his passport) . I havn't yet shown him as a large breed M&M. I think we may look abit odd . Must buy a brown one for this summer ) with a lead rein attached to the bit and I show him in my ridden showing outfit. But he is technacly a ridden animal (He'll be 10 this year) So I think this is right It's so confusing isn't it this showing stuff. Good luck with your newfi he's so cute, I hope you have lots of fun with him.
but the one thing I would have pulled you up on was your turnout, smart yes but also incorrect Jodhpurs and long boots should never be worn for in hand showing regardless of the pony's age. It should always be trousers, light if your pony has dark legs and dark if your pony has light legs
i love him.. and yes why cant it be simple?? he will look TINY in a large M&M class but hey ho
