Dermots first show is on the 6th of May. He's doing the Inhand hunter type horse and Riding club horse *hoping the classes dont clash*

Trouble one is his combo winter rug has rubbed a section of his mane and after this point the manes not that nice. He'll of had two months for it to repair by the time of the show *Whats the chances

How does a plait-lette go about plaiting his mane?

Would he be wanting a bum pattern? If so what one? *Ignore first tail plait of the year*

xc ride the weekend after he will be more tonned and fitter! I have trimmed his fetlocks etc, Pulled his mane neater and cut his tail *not pulled tail as prefer plaited*

Any other tips to get him looking his best are very welcome!
 
If his mane doesnt grow back, use smaller sections for the thick part of his mane, and larger sections for the rubbed part; this should make you plaits around equal!
 
I made false plaits out of Mateys tail when he decided to rub out most of his mane. Annoyingly it was neither rug nor sweet itch just him being infuriating.
