Hi!
I’m looking for a good in hand showing producer to take a native yearling this summer. North west/north wales/Shropshire area ideally but open to ideas. Can’t believe how much difficulty I’m having!
Please could I have some recommendations!? No unknowns or new starters please :)

Thank you!

Is it a traditional native or a m&m?

Although the season hasn’t really started / it strange / different l think you’ll struggle to find an experienced well established producer so late in the (non) season. Most make plans well in advance and many will have waiting lists or can be picky about who they choose to work for. Are you really looking for some handling or specifically show ring experience. It can take a few months to get a horse into the desired condition and for a yearling probably an absolute max of 6 shows would be enough. Maybe consider alternatives and look to showing as a 2 or preferably 3 year old?

Just want to get her to some cuddy qualifiers July ish time, no more than 3 max. She’s v smart. They’d need her a month beforehand I’d say just for the final polish, she’s handled well enough.
Don’t want to bother as a 2 year old really as no point against 3 year old colts ?

Thanks for the replies!
