Showing people- What would she show as? 15.1

WH but I would find a better photograph. You need one where she is uphill and not overbent, as she is in all your schooling pics. I think it is your camera angle but she does seem to go downhill, which is not the impression you want to give of a "stunning" horse. I would put the hacking one 1st until you get an unridden confo shot.
 
She does look pretty. Her showing options will depend completely upon her height. Probably the best way to go forward is to get her an annual height certificate (she isn't old enough for a life certificate yet.). It is a bit of a faff - shoes off, travel to a suitable measuring pad, practice with a stick, etc - but she is right on the limit of several classes. Info here: www.thejmbonline.co.uk

If she measures 158cm or less, then the whole range of WHP/junior classes are open to her, along with Small Riding Horse. Above that, she doesn't have as many showing options: hack classes go up to 160cm, she isn't a maxi-cob and she would be too small for hunter classes.

I am sure that you will find a lovely home for her soon. PS - I agree about getting some better photos - get some really flattering ones with uncluttered backgrounds.
 
She looks a lovely type but the photos are not doing her or you any favours, they are too far away to get any real idea of conformation, she looks grubby, it may be that her tail is not silver but chop the end off and get rid of some of the brown with a good wash, I like to see a jumping photo if they have started doing some.

I would measure her and see if she really is 15.1, it is a nothing height, I wouldn't be surprised if she was under 153cm which would open up the options to junior classes such as WHP/SHP and make her more attractive to the market, otherwise small riding horse is the best class for her type.
 
Please take decent pics! I want to see a lovely eyecatching photo of a horse standing square, plaited up, hoof oiled and spotless as the main pic. I couldn't really see her very well in your photos.
