His father was a showjumper and he has a cracking jump! But not at 4 years old lol, don't want to be doing in tendons, not worth it
Lol, no matter what I put him in it wouldn't have made a difference! But he was turned out for riding horse not as a hunter, I had lost the will to live after waiting 4 hours on between my first class and my second and coulsnt be bothered to change my outfit and his bridle

Wish our local shows liked Arabs I am always up against anything but as they have very limited classes for us, so I do the classes I can just about get away with and still get told I am in the wrong class. We have non native classes and I am often the only one in it so pointless, so I am just going to do riding horse now even though I get told I am in the wrong class but I just want him to have the experience before we try some county shows.
You just have to remember that sometimes the judging says a lot more about the judge than it does about the exhibits!

There was a well known local hunting farmer who was sometimes invited to judge. He always liked a nice thoroughbred, so no matter what the class was, if it was a TB it would win, on the basis that an ounce of blood is worth an inch of bone.
Mine too humblepie. All your coloureds, appys have plenty of classes at good shows. Leave the hunter classes to people with quality hunters. I remember the late Bill Bryan showing quality horses at county shows in the middle weights, they were youngsters being educated. Those middle weights went on to be very good P-2-P ers.My sort of judge as I have two TBs!
He's a nice horse but I would think he was at the bottom of the line up because he isn't really a hunter. Maybe the others were hunter types albeit, lightweights?
I judged at local and agricultural level a few years ago and sometimes at the small local shows the same horse/ponies came in nearly every class. Sometimes none of them were true to type in a class. When that happened I just had to base my decision on conformation,movement and what I liked.
The judge can only judge what's in front of them on the day.
