In my head it sounded like such a simple idea, I know lets go to the county show its only local......
So my pack has turned up in the post and my number is enormous! I would say it is currently about A4 size?!

Is this normal? Can i make it smaller or will I get in trouble for it? Im only doing a Ridden sports horse class.

Now she is rising 5 (infact its her birthday sunday) and still has some lacking in muscle behind (we dont have the mature fat arse look) and I was going to quarter mark her.
I know Hunters should be stripes and sharks teeth, but should I go two or three stripes? Or Go for the V stripes instead?

She's a very compact 15.3/16hh ISH

Going to have a big tidy up on Saturday a week before so she looks more naturally trimmed for the big day.

Open to suggestions!

I always trim my numbers down and round the corners off, can you do that? Some shows have massive numbers!

With ref to the Q'marks, try a few different variations and see what improves her bum the most. I'm not 100% sure on how strict they are on traditional stripes & sharks teeth as i am a M&M person, but i suspect if a producer thought a slightly different variation of a Q'mark would improve the look, i am sure they would do it ;)
 
The numbers for Herts are big, We usually trim them down and round the corners. Be carfeull with quarter marks and sharks teeth if she has a weak back end, you dont want to emphasis it.
