Do you think it would be ok to show 4 classes...2 back to back then about an hour or so then another 2? Only walk/ trot..not cantering or hand gallop only walk and trot? I would never do that if we were actually doing a lot of work

ETA: if only doing a one day show..I wouldn't do that many classes if it was more than one day.. But I if I try it the first show and I can tell he's dieing.. I would scratch the other classes
If he's fit and handling the show environment well, that shouldn't be a problem.

With a young horse you really have to look at the individual. Usually I will take them to a show on a field trip, just hang out and ride, see thing ext. Early in the season. Then a small show. If they handle that well then they will just show enough to qualify for regionals. Usually at least a month between shows. 2-4 classes, and maybe a halter class. I like them spread out, and depending on the horse a 1-2 class warm up tops. (small shows they run about 10 minutes each, big shows about 20).
Good advice.
