Turning out the Traditional Coloured Cob Yearling for shows.....

[Jemma7967]

Looking for some advice, I am totally new to showing traditional coloured cobs and I am a bit confused about where gets trimmed and where doesn't :/ and as we have our first show in a couple of weeks time, I would just like to double check, I know that the whiskers stay on, but what about the beard under her chin and down her throat? Also what about the long hair under her tummy and between her legs? Also people are talking about making sure her bloomers are trimmed but I have no idea what they are? Would be grateful for any advice or tips!

Thanks in Advance!

jaw line (beard), any tufts sticking out of the ears, any hairs hanging from her belly and down from her throat should all be trimmed.
basically you want to leave the whiskers, feather, mane and tail alone, everything else needs tidying up. Do NOT trim in the ears just the tufts sticking out of them,

This guide to natives might help as not entirely clear what type of cob yours is http://www.bspaonline.com/pdf/booklets/Natives_Booklet.pdf Some cobs should be hogged and trimmed.
