Showing youngsters

[Lil Stanley boy]

Hi all

I am showing my youngster this year for his first time...........i know he is going to be naughty already lol

Can I ask how all your lil ones acted at their first show????

If i expect worst then he is an angel then I will be dead proud of the lil man.

Good and bad stories - Please i want to hear them all.....

Also this is a pic of my lil boy - he is 10 month old. what do you think????

He looks very sweet what is his breeding? I did inhand showing with my 2 year old Arab colt, it was fun he spent most of the day on his hind legs clapping with his front feet,at the first one we went to it was only a small local one it felt like we were the main entertainment as we had an audience gasping at us most of the day, his 8 now and I had him gelded at 4 which calmed him down, I really enjoyed it and we did quite well at it, I am hoping to get him out under saddle this year his finally grown up to cope with it. Have fun thats the main thing.

lol thats what I think he will be like but going solely for experience for him. he is booked in already to get gelded next month prior to our first show.

Nothing really seems to bother him ie bags etc and he has manners but I know how all of this changes when going to a show.

He is tbx - his breeding is alil uncertain at minute. he is either x connie or x welsh d. TBH I am unsure and I am thinking of blood tests to find out for sure

Get him there a couple of hours before his class if possile so he has time to settle. Also use a lunge line instead of a leadrope when you first get there just incase.

I had one that although was well behaved at shows...did so on her hind legs! Mine were also shown as foals. Which was even harder as they are blinking strong and not bitted! My last one was a star although needed stories telling in the line up to keep her amused! And she is such a big mover, I needed to do my bolt impression!
