Are you only going to put him in leds or ridden too?
His a hack for sure - not enough bone to be a hunter at all - so yes fancy browband
MOST hack/ AG shows have a 'led hack' check the programs some don't
IMO led classes are all about breed and been a true representation of that breed...for a 'bitza' there is usually only one class, if that, and I don't think its really worth your time/ effort IMO
I would only do leds on a 'bitza' if she were there, and prepped, to ride following the led class - the effort for one class is pointless especially when an open hack class will draw pure bred types as well - not saying don't do it, or he isn't good enough - it depends on the competition on the day but be aware it is only one class and a lot of work IMO for one class...
I have a dual QH/ASH registered buckskin boy so he can go in his QH, ASH and buckskin leds - as they are breed classes - that sadly aren't open to your boy...
I prep as I would for an under-saddle class - except if the program specifies i.e. no false tail but for open your pretty safe with all that - some quarter marks, glitter spray and he would come up beautifully
He needs to lead correctly from the shoulder, the normal work-out is (in a triangle fashion) walk out on an angle - trot a line parallel to the judge (triangle base) stand horse up square side-on to judge, trot back past the judge - so its a pretty simple type work-out...

He's kind of in between both, but just a little too "heavy" for hack....not so much in bone but body type. He's a lovely looking fella though
