What showing classes could we do?

[sydney02]

Taking my mare to her first show in a few weeks and I don't know whether she's best in a coloured class or a cob class.

I am leaning towards the coloured because I will definitely never hog her...is she okay to do that, and to be left untrimmed and unplaited?

I know you don't have to trim/plait natives and I think she has some welsh in her but I don't know her actual breeding...is she still a native type though?

TIA.

That photo is from a few months ago, her mane falls on the other side and i can't get it to come over...

Not a cob in my eyes so coloured and turned out as native type. That means unplaited but tidied so no scraggly long mane etc. had a look at some show pictures to see what you're aiming for

Plain workman like tack

I don't see her as a cob either definitely go in the coloured rather than cob.

I would also say coloured native type, subtle tidying up, plain browband, cavesson noseband.

not to be confused with an M&M 'proper' native pony though, so definitely not that class

A native coloured is a bit of a niche type (not like a coloured cob that can do both cob and coloured classes) but you could do the family pony type classes as well as the coloured ones

I love her markings.

You could shave it all off and do working hunter pony?

Lovely horse

What height is she? Is there a light weight cob class any more? Havn't seen one for ages and wonder if it is still offered. She's not a pony, not a horse, so really can only be a cob.
