I am going to be showing my mare and foal in hand this summer but because I can't run at all a friend is going to handle the mare for me however he's not particularly horsey and has never done any showing etc. I've been trying to find some video online of horses being shown in hand so I can let him see that and get an idea of what is expected etc but haven't been able to (I'm probably searching the wrong thing :rolleyes:)
Does anyone have any links to some good videos I can show him? Another friend is going to handle the foal but she is horsey :D
 
mare & foal classes are the same as any other inhand class, however, who has the foal has the hardest job of all lol. You really need to work as a team, wait on foal, get your stride right with mum so baby can show off, hold foal in the middle whilst mum is strutting her stuff. just remember whose class it is and let that one be shown, ie let the judge see the mare when its her turn and keep foal too outside of her and vice versa.
foals can be little demons to show so be prepared :)

hence why it's the experienced friend handling the foal and the not-experienced friend handling the mare :p

Thanks for the advice - I've done plenty of in-hand but never with a foal before
 
Youtube search Eywas Lowri and you will find a couple of me abd said mare. One is of a class of just me and the championship lol and the other has other ponies in plus a foal.
