What showing classes can you enter with a Haflinger ..

... if there are no Foreigh Breeds class?
Scouting low level shows for some practice before the Breed Show and not many have Foreign Breeds. What could I enter?
This is him so you can see build etc. Are ok to enter Coloured classes or not ? I never know. :S
It's annoying when there are no foreign breed classes.. judges think they're bad examples of Welshies..

I have the same problem as I have a Haflinger. I used to be only allowed in the open classes and the not exc classes. I went along to the next committee meeting and said I wanted something more to enter, and they introduced an alternative coloured class, but still not ideal!

It doesn't help that all the judges think he is a Section D ...

Edited to add - Beautiful pony!

Riding club horse/pony?

 

[humblepie]

Would say probably not to coloured classes but as per Honey08 anything like riding club horse/pony, even competition horse/pony if there is a set show as that would be good practice.

ps, he looks lovely and should be doing dressage!

I'm going to the breed show too (well, hopefully!)

I am currently entering equitation (I have no idea), general showing classes (seem to be a lot of 'generic' showing classes around here) and novice WH classes. Hopefully that will be enough to get into the swing of things

We have loads of 'open' classes round here so it's not really a problem if there isn't a foreign breeds class. We should be going to the breed show too although it is looming rather near and haven't really prepared at all :-/ your haffy is very nice, a nice modern dressage haffy! How tall is he?

Thanks everyone. I'm a bit wary of RC horse/pony because it tends to involve jumping which is not my forte. I might look at some Veteran classes too. If nothing suits, we'll just carrying on prepping at home.

Unfortunately, I don't own him, I'm just lucky enough to be loaning him atm, so i cannot take any credit for his loveliness.
Honey08- he is a in fact a dressage schoolmaster Mandwhy- He's 14.3hh
