Hi,

My horse is a 16.3hh ISH (by Jumbo). I'm entering a county level show and wanted advice. I think he'd be a lightweight hunter but wondered if he'd also pass as a riding horse? He has 8 1/2" bone and is quite 'light' in his movement. Any advice gratefully received :-). Hope the photos load ok!

Have you got a better photo of him. He is too coarse to be a large riding horse, but the pictures do him no justice.
 
Much better when he is not trying to be a giraffe !

Hunter, get the feathers off and shorten the tail. Lots to look forward to. If you are going County level I would go amateur to start with, see how you get on and then try novice and hopefully, opens.

Welcome, have fun and don't under estimate what you can achieve. Make sure he will let anyone ride him and expect the unexpected.

We took a novice out yesterday for the first time, massive horse at 17.3, ride judge refused a leg up and got on from the ground. Horse did not like it and the first few steps out of the line up were very nearly a series of bucks.
