Hello everyone!
So I was thinking of getting into a bit of showing this year, I have always competed dressage and only ever done a bit of showing with my old dressage horse who I occasionally showed in Ridden Hunter classes at local shows and once at Prestiege. Anyway I was wondering what classes would be good for my rising 6 year old Cobbemara? He is an Irish X (with A LOT of Connemara and Cob) and he is a stocky sort. He has a HUGE trot stride, like that of a Welsh D! I know that I can do ridden coloured with him but I was wondering on other classes? I was thinking Ridden Cob however what concerns me is that usually they tend to be either big, hairy traditional cobs or smart, hogged maxi cobs and Sandy is none of them haha! So I worry that he might fall through the cracks because a lot of judges just tend to like them types!
Any ideas are much appreciated!
Here is a picture of us at his first show, a Winter Woolies show haha! So please take a look and let me know what classes you think!
Ps. He normally looks a lot creamier and brighter in colour however it was a dull, overcast day and my camera is not very vibrant!

just to say for trimming I just use scissors and a comb, would that work for your boy?
