Hi, can anyone advice me what is the correct turnout for young handler classes. My daughter has done 2 classes now and just worn her showing clothes, tweed jacket jodphurs etc and pony (Welsh sec a) wore bridle with reins to lead. They have done really well and pony is a saint for her, if we entered county shows what would be correct turnout?
thanks in advance.

Probably would be best to dress as though she was doing an in hand with a welsh a.... So trousers, brown or beige... Joddy boots.... Shirt, tie and waistcoat and a flat cap. Pony in a white halter. That would be correct but how you are shouldn't lose you a class  |

That would be correct but how you are shouldn't lose you a class I think children have to wear a protective hard hat if they are under 14? How old is your daughter? What you're doing sounds ideal to me, the only thing I would maybe change is putting the pony in an in-hand bridle. Good Luck, it sounds like you're already doing very well |

My daughters only 7 (6 as of 1st Jan) I think crazychick is right about the hat, that's the rule at our local shows.

Thankyou for posts, do we think bridle with reins or chain and lead rein is correct? Would def use bit and bridle.

use what your daughter has the most control with. my hdaughter shows in a leather headcollar but have seen pelhams and snaffles. The class is more about how well your daughter shows off her pony and deals with any issues. The bridle isn't as important as general showing classes.
i would suggest doing a few classes with you bridle and asking the judges opinion. x Good Luck

I do Young Handler classes and dress in my Showing Clothes (shirt, tie, jacket, jodhpurs, jodhpur boots, showing hat etc.). It depends on the age, as said above over 14 (or a certain age, depends which show) can wear flat caps. But children under the age limit must wear a protective hat. I show with the normal ridden bridle with both reins! x

I would say how you are is correct. My friend showed her little sec A in a chain and was told it was not correct in young handler classes so would stick with your bridle. Good luck |

We do young handler and daughter (7) either wears her waistcoat or jacket (depending on weather) along with jods, joddy boots, shirt and tie, gloves (very important!) and her hat.
The pony wears a normal WH bridle with a leather lead attached to the bit.
I saw some littleys at a show recently doing the in hand classes in normal in hand clothes (ie trousers rather than jods) and thought that the kiddies turned out in jods looked smarter. Just my own opinion though! The most important thing is the gloves and hat. I know a judge who used to judge a lot of young handler classes and he would mark down for no gloves as they are a safety item.

I might be wrong here but as far as I am aware there aren't any young handler classes at county shows, I know some shows have say a breed class where competitors that want to be judged for their handling skills have to wear a specific colour armband, if that was the case you would wear the right showing attire according to your breed type. I personally like to see handler is trousers rather than jods, there isn't a right or wrong just personal opinion. Seen as though your pony is welsh I would either use a white halter or ridden bridle with reins. When I was younger judges used to prefer when I used a halter on my pony, rather than a bridle.

Young children usually wear normal show riding clothes for inhand classes. It's only when they're older they usually move on to "inhand" clothes.
She is perfectly correct to use a riding bridle with reins over the head. Alternatively an inhand bridle with coupling & lead rein would also be correct.

For young handler I would say, use the tweed jacket (native pony) smart tie, shirt, gloves, jodphur boots, jodphur clips and wearing a riding hat, pony is in a bridle, or welsh halter but I know frompast experience that even though welshies are small they can be strong. Go for the halter if you can, but safety is a prioity so if he/she is strong go in a bridle  |
