Hi Everyone If you were going to a fun horse show what classes would you like see there and would you take part if you live near where I am?. I'm thinking of holding one and would like peoples opinion. Thanks

Definitely some gymkhana games-with classes for the adults. And I love the relay Kibby did where you and your horse jump a course and then you get off and run your dog over some fences-so a combo of horse jumping and dog agility!! Kibby did it bareback and in fancy dress too which made it even more fun. Can you add your vid Kibby? You could also do a jumping class judged not only on usual scores but judged on style too. And a speed class is good where two riders set off at same time and jump a course of show jumps that are a mirror image of each other-not sure what it's called-does anyone know? Oh, and our hunt did a Chase-me-Charlie at our last meet where riders jump a single jump and it goes higher and higher which was a laugh-especially the photos of their faces and positions! What area will the show be in?

Will be in Devon, west Dartmoor area. I was also thinking of veteran classes for not just the horse but rider too! Best six legs, handsomest horse, handy pony for adults and children etc etc. Bit like a fun dog show but just larger animals : ) Oh and yes not strict about dress either. Only hard hats are the definate requirement. Just smart casuals but the horses have to look good. What do you think?? Would you come if you lived near?

OOh Devon what a lovely part of the country you live in-bit far for me for the day. My ideas were probably a bit over the top then-like the sound of handy pony/horse. And veteran rider-very funny. You must do gymkhana games though, you don't have to have expensive equipment :)

The course Flicka is talking about is horse and hound. You should do a mountain and morland class and a coloured class and maybe a dartmoor showing class because of the area. best of luck!
