Documentation: In-Hand Halter Showing
Younger American Hackney Ponies are shown "in-hand." Classes are primarily for weanlings, yearlings and 2-year-olds. Exhibitors compete by lining their pony up to be judged on conformation, then leading it along the rail to be evaluated on performance. This is typically related to futurity competitions according to the American Hackney Horse Society.
