Hi, I have a miniature stallion that had a chunk taken out of his ear years ago by another stallion, he also has a scar from the same battle on his shoulder, I was planning to take him to an I hand show next week but someone has told me he will be penalised because of the scars, is this always the case?

There’s no guarantee either way, and without seeing the scar it’s difficult to say. In mini’s it’s probably going to get marked down more because of the type and style

I’d suggest you go out and have fun and see what the judge has to say

How big is the scar on the shoulder?

Unless he has half an ear missing you will probably be fine with that one.

If the pony is good enough it will do well enough scar or no scar. I know showing is about being perfect but to be honest I would always rather put up the good example of its breed with a cosmetic issue over a naff one that is totally clean skinned.
