Thank you! Will let it grow and then pull it! (We weren't the ones who shaved it in the first place haha!):)

Bumping up :)

Hi all, am I right in thinking that once a tail has been shaved, it can no longer be pulled as the hairs are too strong and will cause the pony serious discomfort? I know shaved tails are a huge no-no in the show ring, but if a tail has been shaved before and can no longer be pulled, if done...

Really? I've never heard that one before haha!

Thanks very much!

We have recently bought a 15 year old show pony and he did have a few windgalls. He has recently seemed to have acquired a few more, and I was wondering if anyone has advice on how to stop them occurring? He is not ridden heavily at all and he is ridden in stretch and flex boots front and back...

Are snaffles allowed/widely used in top level showing? :) Been told by some people that its not actually allowed and looking through pictures of HOYS ponies haven't seen any wearing them!

Haha yep! Thank you!

My old pony is for sale as yes I am out of the class, and we are in the process of buying a 14.2 SP (sorry if that wasn't clear) I know that she is DEFINITELY not a show pony, and also that she would be too small for a 148 :)

Ok, have done in-hands with my 2 little m&ms, thank you for clearing that up!!

Changing classes as I have grown out of my 133cm, we bought her as a jumper who had barely been schooled, but I realised I didn't want to jump and focused on showing :) Thanks for the advice!

So, I was wondering if some showing people would be able to help me out with a few queries! I show at local/county level with my home produced SHP, we are moving onto a 148cm SP and I was wondering how these classes differ? (I do have a slight clue, just don't want to make an idiot of myself!)...
