THESE are not to inclue any SJ , XC or dressage although WH poss

As i say i know most of the classes i can do but ideas always help!

without pictures it very hard t osay what classes you could do. If you get some pictures I'll try and help though

 

[Daffy Dilly]

Again it's hard to tell without pictures, but I've done a few guesses

Promise : 16.3hh Black Tb mare 12yrs

RH classes, maybe hunter if she's got enough bone

Jesse : 16.1hh Bay Tb Mare 8yrs

RH classes, again maybe hunter with enough bone

Puzzle : 14.3hh tri coloured welsh cob X spanish Stallion 15yrs

Coloured classes, veterans at some shows, T&T if you can be bothered, cob classes (as long as you follow the rules re turnout) if he's cobby enough.

Jorji : (to make 16-16.1hh) Pintoloosa Tb X appy nearly 2yrs

Youngstock, best condition, fun classes

Bess : 15hh black shire X fell mare 9 yrs

Cobbify her?? (hog and trim if she isn't already)

Shamrock : 15.3hh piebald id X tb gelding 4yrs

Hunter classes. T&T to get him used to the atmosphere

I hope you aren't showing them all at once

Then there's equitation, T&T, rch/pony, best six legs, local horse and rider, part breds, inhand such as senior handler, best condition. I can't be specific without seeing schedules for the shows in question.

Thanks erm .. well i do have to show ost of them lol but im used to it. I dont think promise has enough bone for RH shes very very fine , Jesse might though shes stronger boned.

Thanks for your advise i have looked through my booklets for my shows and i think i have more ideas than i started with lol

 

[Emerald_city]

Shamrock :

Bess : 15hh black shire X fell mare 9 yrs

Hog and trim her and stick her in some cob classes. If you're doing local than just the cob classes, if you're doing county then she might be a medium weight. She can't do M&M classes, and with a full mane and tail she isn't turned out correctly for her type, so you'd be restricted to the non-type classes if you would prefer not to cobbify her such equitation, best condition, rch etc.

Jorji : (to make 16-16.1hh) Pintoloosa Tb X appy nearly 2yrs

I'd go for the coloured inhand and youngstock classes just to get him the experience. Obviously he isn't the only coloured, but he can't do the riddens.

Puzzle :14.3hh tri coloured welsh cob X spanish Stallion 15yrs

He looks more like a hunter than a cob to me, so if you can get him down to 14.2 then show hunter pony, or int show hunter if you go county. Also do some coloured classes with him. Is he entire? I wasn't sure from the wording. If he is entire very few local shows will have him, so you'd have to go county.

Jesse: 16.1hh Bay Tb Mare 8yrs
Promise: 16.3hh Black Tb mare 12yrs

What is Promise's movement like? She might make a large hack. I would say Jesse is a riding horse, although like you said they aren't the best photos to tell from.

Shamrock: 15.3hh piebald id X tb gelding 4yrs

Get him down to 15.2 and do the small hunters and coloured classes.

The problem you'll have is that a lot of your horses are going to end up in the same classes, so I'm afraid you might have to concentrate on just a couple if you're after qualifiers/points etc.

 

[Emerald_city]

yeah lol well i knew i would have work to do with them but they will mostly be a differnt shows than each other lol so i will work it out lol

 

[Horsesarelife]

show hunters a 12hh, 13hh, 14hh and 15hh so you could do the 15hh class with your 14.3hh . Also theres only lw and hw cobs at couty level (as far as I'm awear). What daffyd has said about classes sound good though . Also a klot of local shows don't alow staillions on the show ground, and a lot of county level classes are for mares/geldings only.

hi i re started showing last year i did the same as you child showing but getting back into it is quite scary i would only take 1 horse to start and have a good look around don't enter to many classes as they clash you panic and then end up running around like a headless chicken a lot of things change over the years and you need to have a good look at the sort of classes you want to do with the horse i would start with promise in a hack class or lightweight hunter as local shows can have cob type over 14hh etc coloured and you might find all of them could do at least 2 classes each! how many grooms have you got? good luck dont forget the schooling and practice practice practice the judges love a horse that knows where it is going next lol
ps any one know pandrop pencot choirgirl any news good oor bad 28 ish grey show pony well schooled
