Also, please can someone explain ROR classes to me? Are they just for ex flat racers or ex-P2Pers too?
Thanks

RoR - there are usually two different types of classes, a jumping one or a showing one.
the jumping consists of rustic fences and show jumps usually around the 3ft marker or 3ft3.
In the showing class, you obv do a show consisting of some lengthened paces. I know you say he has clean legs but for any horse shown the injurys and faults which occured while racing are completly overlooked. I cant go into ggreeat detail as i havent actually done one before but will be nexy year as im too young, (you have to be at least 15 of the begining of the year)
Both clases are judged on how retrained the horse is (obv haha)
The RoR classes arnt for any race horse in particular but the horse has to have proof that the horse has raced at some point in its life.
Also, other classes can be the general RC classes, Showing the horse as a , Riding horse, Hack, Show horse, sometimes lightweight hunters i think obv if they enough bone, but dont quote me on that.
Erm all i can think of atm
