Open Heavyweight | Open Lightweight | Maxi Cob???

The cob is a 15.2hh dales type with a full mane, tail and feathers.

Preferably shown hogged which he isn't, so is they any point entering? We don't normally show but it's local agricultural event so just fancy getting involved 😃 Help gratefully received!
 
At 15.2 won't be heavy weight or maxi. But as Alice says a dales isn't a cob at any weight. Try for M&M?
 
Beyond the usual low key classes like family horse, riding club horse, best turned out, best rider etc you won't find a class to fit

The cob classes aren't right
Assume it's not coloured (?) so those classes are out
Wrong type for hack, riding horse and hunter classes

If the horse has really abundant feathers (but I'm guessing it doesn't) you could look out for shows holding gypsy cob classes - that's really the only series of classes that you'd find a plain coloured hairy of that height
 
Ah thanks lots everyone. I'm not sure how to post a pic but he's black with not masses of feather (a very dense mane and tail) and slightly heavier than a dales but that's the closest type I think. We've done the riding club horse class before, so maybe we could try that... Thanks again ��

er what???
the height limit on heavy weight cob classes is 15.1hh, a maxi cob is any cob over 15.1hh

That said a dales type realy wont do well in a show cob class, they are to be shown hogged and trimmed.
Look for a traditional cob class, the ones for solid coloured horses are rare but they are out there (TGCA run a lot of them)

He wont show as a cob at all. Are there any native m&m classes? I would try them.

He cant go in the M&M classes as they are for purebreds only. he is dales type not a purebred dales. also at 15.2hh he would be marked down for a dales who are supposed to be between 14hh and 14.2hh
 
The only one you can enter is maxi, but not hogged I doubt you’ll get much of a look in. Does he have feathers? Are there any TGCA classes?
