Nope I used to show welsh cobs though... Not quite as hairy... but close...

 

[XmisshorsestyleX]

Noooo!!!

But thinking about it im VERY tempted to get those clippers out. Because of the state of her back feathers... anyone got a trick to remove permanent staining..??

 

[XmisshorsestyleX]

idont show traditionals now, more coloured hunters etc-but what do you need to know- I have shown hairys at county level in the past- Might be able to help

Well, firstly
Beards, do i leave this long or trim up??
Cathairs, do i leave these on or pull them out??
Do you have any tips on how to get orange and brown stained feathers white?

What tack did u use on the hairys..??

Have u got any pictures of them??

Inhand - Bridle or halter??

Tweed - Green or blue??

White Feathers - shampoo, then mix chalk powder in with water - rub in. Leave to dry, then brush through. Only works if you're showing that day though as they soon get dirty, and you have to brush the chalk out well otherwise if you look closely you can still see it lurking!

As to the rest - sorry, don't know!
