Depends what height he is and what you like to show him as.

He looks a nice hunter type to me, but if he is around the 15hh mark you could hog and show as a lw cob.

As a coloured you can show either hogged or plaited.

I think he looks lovely plaited, but has the neck to carry a hog as well, so really depends on whether you see him as a 'cob', and whether you like his mane or not, (or need it to hold onto!!)

Well we were jumping today (wished we'd shown now :p) So he's never been in front of a judge....

Buddy says that because hes muscley beast :p He is filling out nicely!
 
Lovely coloured chappie!

How much bone does he have? Tbh he looks more of a hunter than a cob to me, so I vote for keeping plaited.

But I'm a bit old fashioned and only like to see a hog on a show cob, rather than if the neck could take it.
