Who are the Sport Horse Breeding Club (GB)

[Lightning]

I have a yearling warmblood whom I want to do a couple of Inhand classes with at County level over the summer.

I am a little confused

I thought that the passport would need to be overstamped with the SPort Horse Breeding of GB but they have told me it is only the Hunter classes that are affiliated to them.

On the entry forms it states for the sports/Competition horses need to be registered on the Sport Horse BReeding Club (GB) basic identity register but I have tried to Google this society but cannot seem to find them.

Can anyone help?

Also can anyone offer any advice as to whether it is worthwhile putting a warmblood into Hunter youngstock classes? He isn't really hunter type but it would be for the experience but would I just be wasting my money and should just do the competition/Sports horse classes instead?

Thank you.

Warmbloods can do very well in hunter classes. Depends on the 'type' of the horse in question, & of course the judges preference.

The education your young horse will get being shown in hand at this level will be worth every penny of entries fees etc, even if he doesn't do that well.

Well, I have just done this with mine as wanted to enter a largish show (this weekend) and we just had to register him with the Sports Horse Society and they overstamped his passport. My mum was the one who actually dealt with it and I understand she just contacted the show secretary I believe and the SHS and it's all been pretty straightforward. I am just doing a youngstock (think it is sports horse though) class so i don't think that comes under Hunter classes!
