Hi there,
I have entered my yearling Hugo into a yearling in hand hunter class, it is next Monday. He is ready to go, walks/trots in hand, bited, loading in and out of a trailer and generally calm about most things.
However, i am having a bit of a worry about his turn out. Obviously i plait him up, but do i plait or shave his tail (i'd rather plait), do the whiskers come off? I've cut a bridle path in and taken the little bit of hair off his fetlocks.
Where do i apply baby oil? Do i need to do quarter marks?
In regards to my OH who is showing him, he has light colored trousers (Hugo is bay), a Harris tweed jacket with a yellow check shirt underneath and blue tie. To go with all of this he has steel toe cap jod boots and a tweed trilby - is the trilby suitable?
Sorry for the huge amount of questions but i am panicking slightly. I just want to turn up and look presentable. Here's a couple of photo's of Hugo turned out a few weeks ago (practice run at home)..
Thank you in advance
