Well thats a bit slow for a moan !!!!!, It was possibly me judging the class, and very big high quality classes they were too, so much so without looking at the photos cant possibly remember the placings, at the end of the day you are asking for a persons opnion on that day, I can say i am one of the least facey people you will find and judge what is before me not who, Yes age is a factor in these classes, BUT the quality of the veterans before you nowadays, whereby they would still do well in other open classes is second to none and they are highly comeptitive. I am not a vet, its not up to me to decide if an animals lame, though didnt see any unlevelness from my side of the ring in that class, but im not here to have a fight, so let that be the end of the matter, happy new year, after all this is a show that happened in 2009 and in 6 hours will be last year... so let it lie !!

workinghunterpony ring ..Completly agree! Qualified my veteran for "Inhand Veteran of Britian", but decieded to do the firday insted. As it is a long journey for us (2-3 hours), we do generally try very hard to make sure it works. But what a waste of a journey! Veteran judge didn't bother to ask the age of the pony, gave it a five second glance, and didn't bother looking at it again! The pony was 20, and qualified top of a 22 horse line up for the actual show. No, I don't have sour grapes, but surely age is a factor in these classes! As for the final line up-I'm pretty sure there was a un-sound pony in the rosettes. Not very impressed. Judging was off in several classes aswell, found secretarys fairly unhelpful. Well done, however, to everyone who went along!!
I never ask the age of a horse/pony in a veteran class , as far as i am aware they are all veterans and it is not THE OLDEST PONY/HORSE in the ring class ..
Condition , Confirmation and way of going tend to help me make my mind up not the age ..
