Hi, Laura!  I show my Fjords quite a bit.  When entering halter  classes, I 
enter the stock classes.  Because Fjords have that body type,  it is normally 
the best fit.  The pleasure class is usually for finer  breeds of horses 
(Saddlebreds, Arabians, etc.).

which class?

I attended our local saddle club meeting recently, and a question was raised
regarding class choice for a Fjord.  Apparently, a Fjord owner was told by the
WSCA judge that he/she had entered the wrong class when choosing to show
his/her Fjord in the pleasure type halter class.  I believe that the only
other choices were quarter horse  and stock horse halter classes.  I have
ridden my Fjord in the pleasure type western class in the past and have not
been corrected.  I feel that the pleasure type classes are the correct fit
for a Fjord.  Does anyone have any insight into this?  Maybe the best thing to
do is to simply ask the judge before the show which classes he/she would
prefer to see the Fjord enter.
Thanks for pondering this.
Laura
