I'm going to take cob let to a local, charity fun show in September. However I don't know what classes I can take him in? The thing is I haven't shown him since he was clipped out. This is the best PIC I can find that shows him now:

Could he be plaited up with his legs clipped out for ridden coloured?
And what is working hunter pony? Would he be suitable at all?

Thanks :)
 
Working hunter pony, riding club/ pony club pony, cob classes, coloured classes...

WHP is where you jump a round of fences, and if you go clear you get called back in to do the go-round and show bit. it wants to see a well mannered, forwards pony who looks like they'd be nice to hunt :D
 
As a cob he should ideally be hogged, clipped feathers off and tail pulled. Ideal classes would be show cobs, coloured, family pony, riding club horse maybe. Or left hairy and shown in traditional cob classes.

He's not a hunter, he's a cob (regardless of whether he hunts, the term "hunter" in showing is a type of horse/pony). Working hunter classes mean jumps as well as flat work.

You should use a pelham with double reins or a double bridle, unless the class is "novice rider" or "ridden youngster" when a snaffle would be appropriate. No bright numnahs, martingales, coloured browbands or horse boots.

But its only a local friendly charity show so there's probably more leeway with turnout and classes entered. As long as he's clean and tidy and you've made the effort to plait, enter what you like and good luck! :)
