<p>Hi Laura,</p>
<p>Having no experience in halter classes is not a problem at all... everyone is so helpful and supportive. It is a very relaxed show, and everyone is approachable and willing to answer questions or offer help. When we showed our young horse at the show 2 years ago, we had absolutely no experience in that sort of thing and were very nervous about the halter classes that we had entered.

<p>Hi Laura,</p>
<p>Having no experience in halter classes is not a problem at all... everyone is so helpful and supportive. It is a very relaxed show, and everyone is approachable and willing to answer questions or offer help. When we showed our young horse at the show 2 years ago, we had absolutely no experience in that sort of thing and were very nervous about the halter classes that we had entered. Breeders with lots of experience explained what to do, and they helped us to practice what we would have to do on the day before the show (we brought the horses on Friday so that they could settle in before the weekend of classes... it's not necessary, but it is a nice option, and the people who do so will have dinner and socialize that night).<br/><br/>The judge was also very supportive and gave clear directions. There is a novice showmanship class for people new to halter classes, and it's great because the judge gives extra direction on what to do and then at the end of the class will give pointers on how to improve presenting your horse. <br/><br/>If your horse is a stallion, then you can show in a bridle. If you do show in a halter, then it is recommended that you use a stud shank that is properly placed over the nose... just to give some extra control if he gets rambunctious. Otherwise exhibitors use a halter and lead shank... many use a chain run under the chin, especially for youngsters. <br/><br/>I hope that this helps, and that we see you (and Figaro) at the show, and/or a clinic sometime. :)</p>

<p>Hi Laura! There are more clinics being planned for the future, so maybe you can make it to a later one. They are a fun way to network with other people who love Canadian Horses. :)</p>
<p>If your profile location is current, then you are quite close by. You may want to check out the Futurity and Show in Orangeville in the fall. It is a fun and relaxed show... its focus is for Canadian Horse owners and fans to come out and enjoy the horses.</p>
<p>Have a good moving day. Hopefully we will see…</p>
