Striped hooves - showing?!

[lj0429]

Are striped hooves undesirable in showing?

The reason I ask is I am looking at a Welsh sec a grey with small white socks and black edging for showing.


Thanks

Most people black the hooves out but some societies don't allow it so it depends on what level and what type of classes you want to do, I know the Arab horse society don't allow you to change the colour of the hooves have no idea about Welsh rules.

Welshies tend to be not blacked, plenty of welshies with stripey hooves and never seen one placed down as a result, it's not a fault.

I actually prefer the hooves left natural not keen on the black stuff at all.

M&Ms have to be left natural so no blacking feet out. Clear hoof oil only.
Stripey feet are not a fault at all

No society allows you to change markings from what is written on the passport. One pony lost its place at HOYS the other year because they blacked out a sock. Stupid really as they qualified with it white!

Clear hoof oil for stripey hoofs.

Thanks all, this is the pony in question. 5 yo broken then turned away due to lack of jockey, she is from the field.

Nice pony one of my Arabs has stripey feet as well.

Same here, I think it looks awful and very unnatural. My mare is jet black and a county standard riding horse but I only use the clear oil as I think it looks so much better.
