Welsh Section D Showing Advice

[b3auty]

Hello,

I have just bought my first horse Beauty (yes, she is black very original I know, was already her name)

Anyway, I have been told by quite a few peope she has show quality. I am a total novice but have a friend who is a very experienced rider. I have been told that you do not plait Welsh cobs so just wondered if I was to take her to a 'best turned out' competition what would be the best way to go about about it? Apparently the most natural look for them is best. Any tips or pointers. I have looked online for local Cob/Welsh cob shows so I can have a look for myself first but cannot find any.


Many thanks in advance,
Emma

Some shows I've noticed are running unplaited turnout classes aswell as the usual plaited class. Great idea as some M&Ms have impossible manes.

Shown in a natural state is a very loose phrase when it comes to showing Welsh breeds!!

WelshWelshCobs has a really useful site; http://www.welshwelshcobs.com/home.cfm

They photograph all the big breed shows and sales etc, it will give you a great selection of pics from the pros to see how they turnout
