I have a welsh X tb mare who I would like to do some workers with.
Each time I've taken her showing the judges love her and always place her well (only local level). She's got a very pretty head despite not having much white on her, lovely technique over a fence, and does move well.
Problem is that she's about 15hh! So too large for ponies and would come up small in any other class. I'm also over 21 so can't ride in ponies anyway.
What classes can I do with her? Do I try and get her measured down and get a suitable child jockey to ride her? Would that mean I then can't ride her myself in any classes?
I'd like to do county level, maybe higher if she does well.

Nothing to say you can't to 'normal' either if she is over 153. I'm not sure there's international level for intermediates but I know the ponies send a team out!
