New to Showing

[GirlsGotInk]

We have a 13.1hh, 3yr old, very fluffy after wintering out, skewbald pony with lots of bone but not much feather. How should I turn him out for local shows (my 9 year old son will he showing him)?
I'm not sure if he should be in natural state or not. Also what classes could we put him in?
Many thanks in advanced.

I don't do showing but you might get a better response if you post a pic, easier for people to take a view!

That was my plan but I'm not sure how too 😕

If a cob then hog and take off feathers. If not as heavy set pull and plaitthe mane and turn out as a Hunter Pony.

Or could it be a coloured native? I think you see more turned out as natives at 13.1 than cobs? we tend to notice the hogged ponies- at Suffolk there was only 2 in our big RI class, us and another South Suffolk RI class there was 3! All around the 14.2-15hh mark.

I was about to say native as well

That's a very good point. We had him out at a competition today and someone asked if he was off the moor. If I could add a photo on here it would give you all a better idea of what he looks like. Many thanks for your replys.

I've added some pictures, I'd be delighted if you could tell me if you still think native.

Yes I'd show as a coloured native
