I'm not sure I dare post this but, I really want to know what I need to do as we're breaking him in now!
Has anyone put a stallion through grading procedure for either of these stub books?
If so please can I have some feed back on your experiences and also what level I need to get my boy to before we try!
He has a SHB GB passport but his father is fully licenced with both AES and SHB GB
He will be 5 next year and is being broken at present. Only just got on his back. But he does loose school well and seen him loose jumped over approx 1m20 which he does quite happily and calmly. (Not sure if this is relevant but I figured I might get asked what he is doing now!)
Can I present him for grading without having to jump him under saddle as a 5yo?
I have looked on both webistes and it seems that AES he will have to jump under saddled (But at what height?)
I read it on SHB that it is at the option of the owner. So if I chose not to would that put me at a disadvantage?
The only reason I ask is that I am so rusty (2years off affiliated competing due to my eventer being injured then me, and now him again!!) that I would probably need to get someone else to ride him!
Please lets not turn this into a stallion bashing again like my last post, I just need the facts! I am trying to do everything the way people have advised and get him graded!!
