Hi all,
It feels like spring today around here and I have just had some photos delivered from my youngsters first ridden show last year and it's got me thinking!
I intend to event my youngster but also enjoy attending a few local shows every year, problem is I'm not entirely sure which class to put her in she is 15hh 3/4 welsh PB, she's a fab jumper and generally very well behaved. For her first ridden show the classes she could do we're fairly limited and I ended up putting her in the ridden cob class (didn't specify weight!) she performed reasonably well (I made a few mistakes!) and the judge made some very positive comments, we were placed second to last and whilst giving out the rosettes the judge again commented on how nice she was but asked if she was a fell?!?!?! I am happy to accept some responsibility for this due to turnout (her mane was too long) but it being it was a cob class I guess that's one of the reasons we were placed so low?!?
Problem is I'm not sure which class to enter? I'm thinking m&m but obviously being PB I'm sure competition will be very stiff? Or small hunter/working hunter? Advice welcome?
Thank you
