Could you do riding horse classes with her? That's what I do with my 16.1 thoroughbred.
Not sure whether she'd be able to do the lightweight hunter classes also?

Get her measured in at 15hh with the farrier and put her in the Show Hunter Pony Class...she would look great but put a plain browband on x |

Official measurement i.e flat ground, not a tape, shoes off (according to the JMB). Its not common for people to own measuring sticksthese days!!

I think you could do small hunter classes and if theres a riding club horse perhaps she could do that, theres alway equitation aswell. Good luck

if im honest she says to me riding horse rather than small hunter, she seems to elegant to do small hunter (not that hunters cant be elegant, im not saying that), but the bottom picture says riding horse to me, a pulled tail wouldnt change my perspective as i dont think she would suit hunter bridle either. just my opinion, i think shes very pretty. try a few ridden showing classes over 15hh, and equitation to. try what you think and see what she does better in.

It is always difficult with a photo, esp when not stood up, however I would aim for small hunter, A plain browband and noseband would be more appropriate and from a personal point of view if you do compete in riding horse classes please leave the pink for leadrein classes. I would also remove or reduce the numnah and for yourself remove the scrunchies. Don't forget to pull her tail.
have fun and good luck

Pull her tail and put her in either small hunters or isht.. I agree brown bridle with flate brow band and nose band or plaited brown browband. And numnah depending on your saddle brown sheepskin to fit under |

At local level there is usually a ridden hunter over 15hh ( 158cm )and an over 14.2 ( 148cm)showing class . At this level you could do both classes.
The agricultural shows would have small hunter, hack and riding horse. From your picture I think she is more riding horse or possibly hack at this level. A small hunter should be the same stamp as a middleweight and she is too elegant / light in my opinion.
If you were to have her properly measured and she was 158 or under then the INT SHP class would be an option.

How about doing things like open showing and can't Dutch warm bloods do sports horse type classes? Not sure whether she would be too one for that though - do riding club horse classes aswell:)
