How would she do at shows & What classes?

[Montyforever]

This is Honey

Shes a 14.1hh welsh d x (non registered)
As shes got mild sweetitch so rubs out some mane (still enough left to plait but the lovley gorgeous long mane .. gone

) and she always rubs the top of her tail.
Thinking next year of taking off the feather, pulling her tail & plaiting her as shes quite lightweight for a welsh (or so ive been told)
If i did that what classes would i be able to take her in?
If i try very very hard i might possibly be able to grow out her mane but what ill do with her i tail ive got no idea. Ive used rub stop cream/lotion since i got her and its not worked!
So she would be smotherd in rugs & cream all summer which im not sure she would be happy about! Here some pics to help out .. so trim or not trim?

With mane & feather ..

Without & Plaited (i forgot the forlock .. ignore

)

In my humble 'pinion, do away with the feathers

. I'd pull mane and plait and go for working hunter, but I'm not a showing person

You could show in a welsh partbred class, she is pretty and nice as she is regards mane and feather, you could just do one small plait near her poll.
I am not sure what the rules on with M&M classes, i think you would be able to do them with her.
You can only try, the proof will be in the pudding

ETS: if she rubs badly then you may be left with no option but to take off most of the mane and plait

Forgot to mention! Shes not being backed until at least next spring & we have the feeling judging by the reactions to lunging/longreining when we first started its not gonna be easy! Shes 11 but has been a broodmare. So it will be inhand ill be doing

I was told my welsh a x was unable to go in m&m because he was not crossed with another m&m breed, we think Honey is crossed with a trotter
