I have a nice little mare that was rescued, nothing spectacular halter class wise, but has nice enough conformation to make me wonder if she had papers somewhere before she was seized. I really want to show her in R, but the only way to do so would be to hardship her in A. She would be competitive in the performance classes, which is what I ideally would like to show in. She did end up beating some National level minis in Obstacle and Jumper at some of our local open shows this year. I measured her today several times and got an average height of 33 7/8", with the shortest height being 33 3/4" and tallest 34". She had never been measured before, so she was very tense at first, and I was careful to make sure that she was standing square. She measured the shortest when she finally relaxed at the very end.
What I am trying to figure out is if it is worth it to hardship her into A and then R. Buying another mini is not an option for me, neither is leasing one, and I would really like to get into showing at the breed association level.
