Yes, normal to carry a long cane.

Is it Clydesdale in Hand or Heavy Horse in Hand?

Are you braiding? Put the number on a colour co-ordinated ribbon around her neck.

Safety joddy boots! Case she treads on your toes then!
You could use a side saddle cane, or a dealer whip with the thong removed.

LOL ! she has no shoes on..... ive been teaching her to keep her should by me, so if i incase pace/turn etc she follows. im not entirley sure how when in 5"1 im ment to run a heavy.... still it will be a nice day out and my torture shouldnt last to long!

does any body know whats correct/acceptable turn out for myself? has been thinking black trousers white shirt black jacket (not a show jacket)

Go onto the clydesdale horse society website, they should have something on there or at least a few pictures you could study.

I have seen some of the Clydesdale showing people in white coats like doctors, so it might be an idea to check.

LOL i am not wearing a white coat lol

Its probably just the area I am in.

Check on the clydey website
