showing people

[loz9]

hi, im hoping you maybe able to give me some showing advise on this little mite! Was wonderin if there is any potential in there.

She was a sympathy buy last year as a foal & looked like this:

lice & worm ridden, malnurished, unhandled & we later found out only 4mths old! I feel awful about this but i could barely get a headcollar on let alone look at her teeth

Shes meant to be an appiextb, but this is doubtful as the "breeder" was less than sensible. Her dam was turned out with a yearling colt, although he would have had to be inventive to be able to reach! lol! She only has a bog standard passport, but im still in contact with the "breeder" so could prob get a DNA sample to varify her sire if its worth it. Im not really expecting county level success with her, but i no pretty much nothing about showing! SO what do you think? this is her now (about 10-11mths old), not the best confo pics as shes a bit of a fidget!

Thankyou in advance & have a cupcake on me! <a href=http://www.thesmilies.com><img src=http://www.thesmilies.com/smilies/edible/cupcake.gif border=0></a>

My good god, what a difference! She looks beautiful! What sort of thing did you want to do with her? You could take her in youngster classes and possibly sports horse classes? It is well worth taking her out for the education and experience! xx

Cant add anything regarding what classes to show her in im afraid but just wanted to say what a lovely little lady she is, such a pretty head. The difference in the pic is unbelievable!
Those stables in the background are gorgeous as well, she certainly fell on her hooves the day she met you

Some inhand classes:

Best Condition
Youngstock
Part bred
Mountain and Moorland (unregistered)

Latter two depending on her breeding, obviously.

She's very pretty and I'd say could do well and I always think it's good for youngsters to get out and about. Well done for getting her looking like that!
Cupcake for you, too!

Youngstock and hunter type / riding horse - can't tell how much bone she has or how she moves.

She is very cute and your stables are gorgeous.

Hi, my boy in my pic is an appaloosa x anglo arab and Ive had him since a foal, she looks very different from what he did, a lot more arab'y, so Id question her breeding too.
She's very pretty though, best thing to do is to just get her out and do some fun classes like young stock ones, and see how she does.

What a difference! She's beautiful! I would say, probably try an In-Hand Part Bred. Good Luck!!

thankyou for you lovely replies & the cupcake cinammontoast!
Shes only about 13hh at the mo, so would have to be pony classes, & she has very little bone. I swear her legs are going to snap everytime i pick them up! lol! Shes very floaty when she moves, but can also have quite high hock/knee action when the mood takes her.

This is her dam:

& her apparent sire:

Im desperate to get her out & about for the experience, but waiting on a trailer at the mo I also have 2 other yearlings i want to get out but they are more straightforward re classes. Shes taken us by surprise turning out so pretty hense the confusion of what to do with her!

Will get some schedules & hopefully get them all out & about soon!

(& thankyou re the nice stables comment, im proud of them too as i designed & helped build them! & sssh but they will be open to liveries next year if all goes to plan :wink: )

 

[wilsha]

wow thats an amazing change well done you
maybe youngstock, best condition maybe some othr in hand classes good luck x

 

[horsecrazy25]

is that the same horse? That is amazing!! What a difference she was lucky to have such a wonderful mum like you.

Agree with other people about showing classes. Good Luck

Love your stables too x

I have to say I think she is a smashing little horse! She has pretty good confo imo, nice shoulder and backend, could have a good jump in there!

Such a difference!!

She is just geogeous, she looks a little like the section b I am hoping to buy for my little girl

 

[ElliePippa]

I really really like her
If i were you, would trim her up, poss a little more weight on her (i may be shot down for saying that, but for showing she would need a little more over her bum)
get her in a fancy browband and do some riding horse/ hack breeding classes. At more local levels youngstock. I think shes got arab in her, but she's deffo deffo no mountain and moorland
shes going to be lovely! well done with her
good luck xx
