what classes would she suit?

What showing classes would you say she should do? She is an ISH.
any CC would be handy too!

Sorry, rubbish photos, but she is quite new and now looks like a sruff bag so these are really the only ones I have!

I thought she looked a bit ponyish, if you are young enough or have a young rider you could do SHP or WHP, if not small hunter or small riding horse. She has a lovely front but slopes away rather behind,do some work to try and build her up a bit if you can.

Coming from a SJ and DR back ground ive never done any showing. Ever. (does tack & turn out count when i was 8? we came last..) Dont worry, currently, shes not in work so she is lacking any muscle. How old do I need to be? Thanks.

I don't think shes stocky enough for working hunter. She looks more like riding horse material to me. (She's v pretty btw!)

The max. age for 15h classes is 20 although they do have intermediate up to 15.2 riders 25, but you would probably be best starting at local level and doing whatever you can fit into they all offer different things.
She would look good in a riding horse, she could have a pretty browband, you can wear tweed or navy jacket, so no need to go out spending loads if you decide you dont want to do it again.
I always think the best thing is either find an instructor with showing experience to help you or go to a few shows and watch the classes, concentrate on the top of the line up to give you more idea of what you are aiming for.

Okay so ill be fine for those for another two years. Im just playing at the moment anyway but I think the best thing to do is, as you say, go to some shows and have a watch. Thank you!
