Showing, open horse

[Flowerofthefen]

Please could someone give me an idea of what this class entails?

Open classes are for horses that have won their novice classes. What sort of horse do you have that you wish to show ?

16.2 tb. There isn't a novice horse, just an open horse!!

At local shows it also means anything over 14.2hh regardless of type or even if it is a show type at all!

I think this is possibly what it is, anything over 14.2!! I'm doing ror as well so hoping my attire is ok!!

What you wear for ror will be fine for a generic horse ridden class. That could include anything from hunters to hacks to cobs to heinz 57 to fresians etc. So it will be a turn out to type class.

There is also a grey, bay, chestnut and black class!! Think they are making classes up!

Quite normal at local shows, most of them try to be as inclusive as possible and give every horse a couple of classes to do whether they are a traditional show type or just someones well loved but put together by committee pony.

Local Show committees like to give their entrants what they know they like, in order to encourage entries to boost the coffers, especially this year, after not being able to run last year.
