He can do youngstock, pot sporthorse, condition, & coloured.
He wears a snaffle bridle with a coloured browband for most classes except the sport horse.
You can wear light trousers, shirt & tie & jacket. Have you any photos of your boy?

Have you any photos of your boy? everything she said lol For him to get him dazzling white I use Wahl deep black shampoo all over and then mix gold label show white chalk with water and coat shine and paint onto legs and then bandage with gamgees underneath. He will need to be plaited and no feathers and if he doesnt mind I take off whiskers and trim under the jaw  Have fun! |

Very well done horse did well, and so did you. The judges have had orders to put fat animals down but, I'm afraid some judges like fat horses. You can/t win can you. As we always say another judge another day.
