make up on grey horses in the show ring

[pink_princess]

i have a small hunter, with 2 x white hooves and 2 striped hooves should i paint them black and should i put black make up to high light his eyes, nose and check bone
this is the best pic i have of him to show feet and face.
(excuse how chunky he looks)

TBH i would go for clear hoof oil all round and def no make up, most hunter judges hate it!!

no make up, hunters are meant to be workman like....... makeup is not particularly workman ish.... hehe

And clear oil is prob better I agree

I wouldn't put make up on a hunter. If you need anything, put a wipe of pig oil or baby oil round his muzzle, over his eyes and under his tail, just to make him look clean and smart. Keep an old tea towel to use with oil, so it is soaked in, and just give him a quick wipe round before you go in.

If he moves well, then black feet look smart. If he dishes etc, then clear. Light makeup and nothing too shiny.
