Kassha, totally agree. I nearly went the line of
getting someone to show my gelding but then decided
to do it myself for some of the reasons you have said
and also for financial reasons as well. It works out
very expensive and to be honest i dont just think it
is who is running the horse as much of what type of
horse is in fashion. So now if i show i just do it
for fun. I used to show my old gelding many years
back when showing wasnt quite like it is now and we
used to do really well  |

To coin an old Welsh song"those were the days....".Was actually at that show way back then!
Sorry to have hi-jacked your thread.
I do realise that some will pay for their horses to be shown by a professional trainer for various other reasons-can't run myself anymore after a bad fall either!I just think that too much emphasis is made of a horse being what is now called "show trained" when basically it is just teaching a horse to stand still and square.All this whirling and chain jerking is so unnecessary and you don't really have to be able to run like Usain Bolt to show off the horses' natural paces either. |

thank u all for resposes,
i am looking for a trainer to come and help me learn i dont want to give my filly the wrong signals as ive never shown arabs before only show cobs and jumping so this is a real first. the reason i thought about sending her away was because i wasnt sure weather i could find a trainer who could fit around my busy work commitments that pay for my breeding. if there is any one out there local( NOTTINGHAM) i can travel to or willing to come to me for a fee!! also i have bred this filly so a blank cavas for me i've never been luck to have anything than other people rejects, so i dont want this tobe one too.
also i just dont no where localish show or clubs or groups i can join so any help i will be very greatfull!!
cheers all |

I think people get trainers to produce and show for various different reasons. I cant run anymore so I would get a trainer of my choice to show for me.
I dont agree that because your capable of having bred it means you can 'show train' it.
As I dont know glentullock's age, this could be another reason why they would colt/filly produced and trained by someone |

I dont think i could send my yearling away to be show trained
I would miss the chaos haha! I show trained my gelding - it took time and patience, but its gotten to the stage where you can ask him to "stand" and he will not move until you say so
He can still be a cheeky sod, he will go into the ring and go at the end of the line
My mum did take him into the ring at one show....you should of seen the look on his face

I agree with Kassha. I show my horses myself (including "C" class shows and UKIAHS) and believe that as I've done all the handling, they're more comfortable with "mummy" taking them in the ring (it's all part of their education). I show in the "classic" way i.e. as everyone used to show - as I don't like all the whirling and shanking.
I've recently re-watched the stallion classes at the National show in 1985, I think (the year Ralvon Elijah was BNC and old favourites like Hanif were still around) and you could actually see the horses for themselves; I can't believe how much showing has altered since then.

Going to upset a few now I expect but no offence meant.If you are capable of breeding your own filly then why not "show train " yourself.It's not exactly rocket science!
Go to some shows and watch what is done!I can assure you, you will have more satisfaction having bred and "trained " your filly yourself.
Have faith in your own abilities far more rewarding and far less traumatic for your baby.Just my opinion of course. |

There are a quite a few trainers but i think sometimes
they only take ur horse on if its of show quality. I will
pm you some names as they make class it as advertising
i put them on here. |

Hi, I think the going rate for show training is
between £30 to £50 per session. I think similar
if they are shown for you at a show. If its to
expensive might be worth going to some shows to
see how they are shown. Also you will know its
due to your hard work  Good luck
