Question about showing Green Horse?

Question

Ok so If im correct when you show green horse its the horses first year showing right? well Im getting a 3 year old who has bin showed in fertility in a halter class. Is it first year under saddle showing or just first year showing? sorry if that makes no sense

Answer 1

Usually when you enter a Green Horse class, the horse has to be on his or her first OR second year of showing. Check the classes' rules. It usually says whether they permit horses in their second year of showing.

Even if they don't allow horses in their second year of showing, I would enter your horse anyway since it is her first year under saddle.

Answer 2

your best bet would be to pull the rules for the show and find out their point of view.

congratulations on the new addition.

Answer 3

This answer is for arabian class b show.  Here is the description from the website:
