I intend on taking my young connie to a low key local show this weekend for an outing. I will definitely be entering the mountain and moorland and possibly working hunting and/or Showjumping.

His mane is pulled very short (at present it almost half stands up like a youngster!) for convenience and as he does many other disciplines at present.

Whilst I understand that technically m & m classes would expect not plaited manes, I wondered if I ought to plait considering the state of his mane. Turnout wise I feel he would look better, but how might a judge at this sort of show feel about the matter?

Any info would be great. Thanks.
 
big BIG no-no!! It is the rules that m&ms are to be shown in their natural state so definitely no plaits for your m&m class. However if your workers class is an open one (ie not m&M) you can plait for this
