Picture of my friends horse. She does dressage and jumping with him but would also like to do some showing with him but doesn't know which classes to put him in?

Could some of you showing people please let us know what classes you think he should go in?

He is 15.3hh and is a warmblood.

Thanks!!

Well since he jumps Working Hunter classes are the obvious choice! I'm not so up on showing plaiteds (I'm a native owner) but I'd say try light weight hunter, riding club, sports horse classes etc.
 
riding horse, light weight hunter, working hunter I would think is a defo!

he would be lovely in hand as well! so maybe like in hand horse and hunter as well?!

hes pretty!
 
Is she aiming at local level or higher? He's a nice stamp of horse.

He's not a show hunter type as too distinctly warmbloody but is a nice competition horse type so he could do a sports horse class - in hand or ridden - or as he jumps - local working hunter

If showing at local level, he should do well in a riding club horse class.

He really needs more top line - not fat - but more of a neck to show himself off, otherwise he will look quite small. With more muscle, it's hard to tell in the picture - he might make a small riding horse - although traditionally they are more TB types.
 
Thanks all, she is initially looking at lower levels and then maybe doing some bigger stuff just really tough to decide what he could do

I would say Riding Horse as well altho you may find me needs more topline especially if you are wanting to show at county level.

Also Mitra please can you shrink your signature.
