Hi all, well thanks for all of your advice as I got Maya ready for her first horse show today! The coat is still an issue because as you can see, it's too long and bunched up on her chest (ARGHHH). So we're still on the hunt for something that fits her. But she did great and ended up RESERVE CHAMPION! Whooo hooooo! She was 3rd out of 4 in the walk class (that was a little sad :lonely: ) but then 2nd in walk/trot and 1st in the very hard walk/trot jumping position which also included a torturous sitting trot that she kicked butt on when the other kids gave up and started posting. SO, here are some pics :cloud9:

Absolutely adorable!!! She looks great and that is a very cute pony.

From the pics, I think the problem you are running into, is that she has a very short upper body, so the coats tailoring isn't hitting the right spots. I'd find a very good men's tailor and have him make all the adjustments to the coat you already altered. Or... if you are like me, you can just move buttons to tighten the chest and leave it at that.

Congrats to Maya! She looked the part. :clap:

The coat is unusual; if it makes you feel any better, the coat looks wrong and the kid looks fine, if that makes any sense. I agree w/ Witchy that M may be a bit short thru the waist, but the coat looks like it was made for the tin man!! Oh, and on the pony, barely noticeable!!

Glad it was a successful day, and a very legit question (the sitting trot) separated the kids.

Thanks guys, I just don't know what to do about the coat. I never got the coat i really wanted so I'll call them tomorrow to see what happened. This coat is just too long - of course it is it's a 12 and she's 7! I am so annoyed at Dover for selling me a coat that clearly doesn't fit when I relied on their advice.

Anyway she is ready for the next show, asked if she can go to one tomorrow. I think I've created a monster!!

ok next show is in less than two weeks....how to get a coat that fits her?? Witchy I am scared of tailors as it never seems to come out right, and I don't know anyone who would be good. The 10 "extra" from Tuff Rider was too big/bulky, the 10 regulars are too tight and pull across her back. ARGH
