Riding Ponies are up to 15hh, and originally came about as a native/TB or Arab cross. Today they are fine, pretty animals.
Show Pony classes are divided into three heights - 12.2hh, 13.2hh and 14.2hh. They vary in type, but the most successful are generally the finer, showier animals without much native blood in them. They should be free moving and well mannered. 12.2hh ponies can be ridden by children of up to 13 years, 13.2hh by children up to 15, and 17 years for the 14.2hh class.
The British Riding Pony is pretty much synonymous with the Show Pony, and the breeding classes for riding ponies are called Show Pony Breeding.
The British Show Pony Society is the main society for show pony qualifiers and championships.
For amateur owners of show ponies, the SEIB Search for a Star championship has the final at the Horse of the Year Show.
