can a draft cross show in english hunter under saddle shows?
He is 17.3hh draft cross and i am wondering what peoples thoughts are that know horses if it is okay to show a draft horse that big in flat and jumping classes or if it is not suitable becasue of how big he his.
Size isn't really the deciding factor here, it's going to be his movement. You see plenty of draft-crossed is the hunter classes at open and schooling shows, but not so many at the rated shows. The reason being is that most draft crosses tend to have higher knee action than what a hunter judge is looking for (we like to see flat kneed horses). In the lower levels, a flashy draft cross might still place in the ribbons, especially if he has enough TB or warmblood in him to keep his action less dramatic.
A good manual to look at for evaluating your hunter prospect is Judging Hunters and Hunter Seat Equitation by Anna J. White-Mullin with in introduction by George Morris. It gives you a comprehensive guide as to what judges are looking for in each discipline. It's geared more towards the rated shows, but if your horse meets most of these criteria, you'll know you can definitely compete on the open or schooling level.
