Looking for some advice, there is a 3yr old irish draught gelding that I have the opportunity to show over the summer but I haven't shown inhand before. Any help from classes to pick, hints and tips, what is expected to what to wear to what level you think we should show at, total showing newby here.

Also if you tell me how I will put a pic up

Depends how ambitious you are. Local shows often just have an open young stock class. They rarely have sufficient entries to split into type or even pony/ horse. It's very much a lottery in such cases as judges often are not qualified and stick to their preferred type. It's still good education, just don't take the results too seriously. If you are feeling more ambitious then try a larger agricultural show where the horse needs to be registered or passport over stamped by Sports Horse GB if passport is an ID society one. Then opt for hunter in hand. The ID society also has a breed show which is well worth attending.
