Congress Height Question

[Irish Hills Farm]

What is the smallest shetland you have shown or would show at Congress?

Is a 34", mini measurement so lets say 35" shetland to small? This would be a two year old who would show in the Classic division.

Thanks!

We've shown 35 inch minis at Congress before.

It's tough because a good horse that is several inches taller should be carrying a lot more muscle. The small ones just tend to get overshadowed.

Won't stop me from trying though

If you look at last year's Classic yearling Congress winner - you will notice that she was only about 35". Well I competed against her this weekend and she measured in at 36". Size doesn't matter.
