Part bred natives: To plait or not to plait?

[vivhewe]

I should know this but in a class for natives/part bred natives am I better off plaiting a part bred or leaving him?

 

[Horseyscot]

I would leave him unplaited if its a class for natives.

 

[magicgirl]

Part breds should be shown plaited.

 

[moodymare1987]

Plaited up

 

[Laafet]

He should be plaited unless its states not to (which is does sometimes for WPCS classes).

 

[the watcher]

Always plait (unless the class specifically instructs otherwise)

 

[scotsmare]

Part breds should be plaited.

 

[conniegirl]

always plaited for partbreds

 

[pamandratty]

I organise several native shows and I would say unplaited

 

[Colleen_Miss_Tom]

All part breds are plaited up , only those that are pure bred registered natives are left unplaited .

 

[minesadouble]

If affiliated to breed society DEFINITELY plait (I know this for sure) if unaffialated I would probably leave unplaited (of that I am not certain - opinion only) - Good luck

in part bred classes you turnout to type ie if it a hunter type then you turn out as though it were a hunter class, if it is a hack type then you turnout as a hack, showpony type as a show pony and a show cob would be shown hogged and trimmed.

The only horses shown unplaited are the arabs and the purebred M&M's

Hell, I'm never going to get our youngster to a show then (3/4 Sec D) as I've never plaited a mane that's stayed in for more than five minutes on a placid horse, let alone a little firecracker!

Ditto.
If it is a pure and part bred native class all the ponies in the class should be to native showing rules so they are all presented the same.
