What can hippo do showing wise?

[Nookster]

What classes could hippo enter, for his first show he is just going in hand but theres nothing at the show but M&M in hand.

There is ridden cob and ridden hunter but again won't be doing these for his first outing

Any ideas please

How big is he?

[Nookster]

16.2 :o turned 4 in june

[Mehitabel]

best turned out, best condition, handsomest gelding? assuming it's just for party practice?

[Nookster]

when mature and ridden what do you think he can do !?!

[Back2Black]

If he was de fuzzed on his leggies possibly HW hunter but not sure if hes too heavy for that..

[Nik-n-Kia]

Hey

He could do

Large Ridden Horse
Working Hunter (if he will pop a course)
Riding Club Horse (again if he will pop a small jump)
Show hunter
Tack and Turnout

Need to look again as I am just going on what I enter but adding large for the riding horse as I enter small ridden horse :cool:

Hope this helps you!!!

Working hunter/ HW hunter

[Mehitabel]

yep, feathers off and HW hunter, or working hunter if he jumps. not ridden cob unless it's a very local show - anything bigger will have the 15.1 height limit. cob type is possible, but he isn't really.

HW hunter and WH when his mum gets her butt into gear!! :o

Always wobbly lead rein! :p

[Nookster]

cob type is possible, but he isn't really.

His ad advertised him as a cob as well....

Thanks for the info - wouldn't have known otherwise

[Mehitabel]

he is definitely not a cob in the showing sense - they have to be 15.1 or under, for a start! i dont; think he is a cob anyway, really, i think he is more of a hunter. he tends towards the cob rather than the TB side of things, certainly, but i wouldn't look at him and think COB like i would looking at chickflick's stumpy, for instance, who is definitely a cob and couldn't be anything else.

[marsden]

he is a hunter but as you say Nooskter he was advertised as a cob! When i took Murphy to his first show, he had the same build and size as Hippo i got told to bulk him up and put him in cob classes! Which i found a tad bit strange!


We'll find something for him eventually! Need to get on him and teach him his left and rights haha

He could make a lovely Maxi Cob, hogged out and defuzzed. I really like him. Either Maxi Cob or HW Hunter - Maxis are getting very popular now.

[marsden]

he's getting entered into wobbly lead rein! ;)

[Nookster]

Don't think i can run that fast with you two ;)

Nik is taking her boy into ridden cob on sunday depending on how he reacts upon arrival. Hopefully get a judges opinion then.

Not sure about showing but have to say he is gorgeous
