what showing classes?

[Batgirl]

Just a random one, fancy a bit of fun showing over the summer, however Mr Arnie has got a splint and a handful of small 'battle' scars (regular self harmer! ) what sort of classes could we enjoy? I do mainly dressage and hack with him as I am a bit of a wimp jumping though have been thinking about working hunter. He is in my sig but he is 17hh, chestnut, got a lot of bone, moves well.

What do we think? Only ever did a bit of veteran showing with my old boy.

Tweed is correct for most things. NEVER black, navy blue is acceptable (correct for Hacks).

Perissa - Does riding horse count things like splints etc or is it just the ridden aspect and the look?

 

[Perissa]

You would need to wear a tie, brown or tan gloves, beige or lemon jods and a numnah rather than a saddle cloth.

Not in the first instance but may count if a judge likes two horses the same.

Thanks Perissa, mostly concerned with not entering something I have no chance in. Have looked at one of my local shows and quite fnacy Riding Horse and Equitation

(I am happy with what to wear and have all of it in my horsey 'wardrobe' with exception of a tweed as I can't get one to fit, navy will have to suffice)

 

[Perissa]

Navy is fine, it is just that tweed is considered more correct
