How do I show my Horse? Remember this is a “Fun” Show. You can show your horses in which ever manner works best for you. You can show them in-hand, at liberty, or on a lunge line. The horses do not need to be presented by runners, trainers, or on the triangle. Whatever is easiest for you and whatever you are comfortable doing.
How are the horses judged? There will be a panel of individuals that will make comments to each participant and the panel will consist of 2-4 Friesian Experts with one being a celebrity. The panel will probably change for each and every show. Remember it is for fun and that is what we are going to try and do. Have Fun! showing the membership your horses. Remember the panel isn’t really judging anything other than “Best Costume” or the Exhibition (Ride/Drive) performance.
