We showed Aur Bold Tribute as a sport horse in hand
when he was 18 years old and in endurance shape. He took a Reserve
Championship in a pretty nice group of stallions. I'd like to do more of
it, and may once we get a bit more organized again. Paul did tell the
judge that our discipline was endurance, BTW.
There is some tendency by a few judges to be a bit
to "halter-y" in the SHIH classes, but by and large, they are fairly
decent.

Subject: [RC] Sport Horse in hand
class
Is anyone doing the
Sport Horse in Hand classes ? . I'm taking my budding Endurance horse to the
Region 3 pre-show to try and quailfy him . He looks good to me and is keep his
weight on but compared to a show horse he is on the lean athletic side .
I wonder if anyone has shown their Endurance horses in this class ? We
have shown our Dressage horse for the last couple years and he has done well .
I have noticed a disturbing trend with regular halter horses in these classes
and wonder if it has turned into Sport halter and I shouldn't bother . Thanks
