Would you show this horse as a hack/riding horse?

[charlie76]

My mare is for sale and I had a call this morning for some one that wants to do dressage and Riding horse/hack classes with her. She has no lumps or bumps but is fit for dressage and would need to be produced to look like a show horse.
What do you think?

do you mean is she show quality? definitely! she looks like she has a lovely trot.

Are her limbs straight? what is her confo like?

 

[charlie76]

thats what I mean. Thankyou. I put the phone down having said yes she would and arranged for them to come and see her then started panicking about it as I have never thought to show her.
I did advertise her in the allrounders section so hopefully they won't be too disapointed!

2008- she has good conformation and good limbs but she is muscled up to do dressage and jumping at the moment, not showing.

Very nice, from the small photo and without seeing a lot more I would say Riding Horse

To be honest it does depend what level they want to compete at - a competition horse is muscled up for the discipline it competes in. I would never expect a high level dressage horse compete as a show horse. and vice versa. She looks a lovely type and would do either

Phew, I can stop worrying. I find selling horses so difficult as what one person thinks is nice another really doesn't like and it can be a bit embarrasing.

I think she looks lovely and the buyer can't be wanting to show and do dressage at any high level because the schooling is different surely? I competed my last horse successfully in showing and dressage (and jumping!) at unaffiliated level. That is the job of an allrounder and your mare is a quality one who would give someone a lot of fun. There are not many hack classes at lower level but she'd be a lovely riding horse.If she doesn't like her, then there is someone out there who will!!
