I've been helping at shows for 2 years and will start showing next year - I can't wait! I think the atmosphere is great and it's amazing to watch such beautifull horses working with their riders.

Well done on your excellent placing, Frosty Boy!

I started out doing hunters and hunter equitation. I'll still occasionally do a hunter class for fun. If my boarding barn runs a show, I'll also occasionally register for any number of things (e.g., show someone else's horse in a green class, do a few of the ghymkhana or trail classes, etc).

I mostly stick with dressage, combined tests, or events these days.

[Frosty Boy]

Thanks kedwards!!!!

[kedwards]

Fun, isn't it Frosty? Do you plan to do more competitions?

[Sophie_Bailey]

I went to a show last saturday with my boy. I loved it and so did he, he was amazingly well behaved (for him ;) ) it was really wierd tho cuz i left him by the lorry (with friends) when i went to go and see Tim Stockdale ride (my idol), it was really bizarre to be riding at the same show as my idol :D

[kirsty-chuk]

Shows are great! I'd love to go to more but we haven't got a trailer or horseboxso transport is a problem. I always find that my horse jumps better away from home! I go to little local showjumping competitions, and Pony Club things. x

[tb_rider]
