Showing people! What class?

[Vicki1986]

Normally i do WHP type classes, however a show i really want to do this summer doesnt have any whp classes... there is one class i think i could maybe do... "show hunter pony / show pony"

its a small local showing show

do you think my pony could get away with being a show hunter pony ???

i think show hunter pony would be fine - but im not a showing expert!!

we need FMM in on this one

I agree SHP would be ok - I wouldn't do show pony though as they are often very fine (like mini TBs)

 

[Vicki1986]

ok thank you come on FMM we need the expert!

i suppose it depends what quality the others are etc as to how well id do, if there all very light show ponies we will look a bit silly !!

im sure at local level you will be fine.

 

[FMM]

I don'd "do" ponies very much - I'm too old! However, yes - definitely you could do SHP classes, and at local level you could also do show pony as well. Generally the show ponies are much finer, but if you are at the show anyway, then you may as well do both! You should have a coloured browband for when you are a show pony and a plain browband for when you are a show hunter pony.

OK thanks guys these people run 5 shows through the summer so i shall try the first and see how it goes !! FMM i lurrrve the cob in your signature !! I'm too old for ponies too but i didnt have horses when i was little so im reliving a lost childhood, local/RClub level people dont seem to mind too much thankfully

Think i know what show your on about - was looking at it myself and have done it previsouly with my young horse...

Its a nice small show, lots of kids mind and standard well wouldnt say its particulary high, as I said mainly kiddies wizzing round although it do get the odd very nice ones...you'll be fine in those classes and may even see you there
