There is the Show Ring forum:

http://www.tsrforums.co.uk/

It is subscription only, but well worth the money! Someone recently posted some really good step-by-step diagrams for sharks teeth on there!

After years and years of trying, I have finally just been taught the proper way to do sharks teeth and works every time!! Where about in Essex are you? You could always pop over to ours for a demo

Cool thanks

Its one of those things mum can do to a certain degree but not perfect! And we want them perfect for next week!

I am fine with squares and dots etc, and stripes but still struggle with sharks teeth on the offside lol!!

Best thing to do is to spray water onto quaters, then apply quatermarks and sharksteeth, then spray with showshine to set them.

The other method that was recently shown to me, and works very well, is to rub baby oil into quaters, then do the quaterrmarks.

Just scanning pics now...

I enjoyed this article and have also perfected my windsor knot with their idiot guide - even I could follow it

One thing I have found with Sharks Teeth - some horses are easier to do that others - my super fine TB was no problem but a friends TB/Cob was. Maybe this is why these marks are used more for hacks and fine types and not cobs and hunters?

Zoeshiloh - thank you so much for your post.... I had googled sharksteeth and your forum came up

Will be great to practice so I dont have to rely on waiting for others to do my sharksteeth out at shows!

Cheers!!
