hello,
I have a pure haflinger mare, who fits perfectly to all the breed characheristics i want to take her to some special Haflinger Shows, but I need to know a few things, how old must the handler be for in hand showing and must you bring a passport to prove she is pure? Thanks
Verity
P.S. I am a showing novice so sorry if this is obvious!

 I know nothing about showing Haflingers, but I would imagine it's the same as showing any other breed. When you get the schedule, the entry form will probably ask for the registation details ie Reg no ,Sire and Dam If they require a copy of your passport, it will say so. You will need to take your passport with you to the show, because it is illegal to travel your horse without one

Yes, if it is an official show for registered ponies you will have to put those details on the entry form and take your passport with you, although it is likely you will not have to show it to anyone, unless the Trading Standards people are there (the officials who enforce the passport regulations.)
As regards age - this is a wild guess, but so long as you can handle the pony completely I don't think there is an age limit, although if you are under 16 I guess you should have an adult somewhere in the background. It is always a good idea to have someone with you at a show anyway to be around and help hand you a brush to do up your number, because you can have a silly accident and be completely helpless - like the pony crushing your foot if he stands on it, or shutting your finger in the trailer - these things have happened!

Hello Verity,
A friend of mine recently went to the Haflinger breed show at Malvern. She is getting married this weekend and whizzing off on honeymoon, but I'll point her in this direction when she returns, to see if she can give you any Haflingery information!
