Riding horse class divisions
According to the British Show Horse Association (BSHA) the riding horse should have quality, substance, good bone, correct conformation, presence and true action.
Riding horses can be:
Small riding horse — mare or gelding, four years old or over, exceeding 148cm and not exceeding 158cm.
Large riding horse — mare or gelding, four years old or over, exceeding 158cm
The BSHA recommends that shows hold classes for both height sections if possible. If there is only one class held it must cover the full range of heights and the wording should be as follows:
Open riding horses — mare or gelding, four years old or over, exceeding 148cm
