Hi all
We are attempting our first ever show its a lead rein class my daughter is 7 and the pony is a New Forest 13 hh I've checked the rules and we are fine I have our clothes and tack sorted.
But I am at a loss as to how to get him all shiny and show like he is kept 24/7in a field no stable avaliable. Normally I just give him a going over with a curry comb and dandy brush to knock the mud off.
Should I bath him? Should I invest in all the sheens and special shampoos or can I use something else I might have around the house. I could bring him up to the house the day before and leave him in the orchard for the night but would that just upset him.
Also do we have to do a show?? If so what would be appropriate ? We are doing style and apperance, most appealing, mountain and moorland and first ridden. I have just realised I have no idea what we are doing PANIC!!!!!
Thanks in advance for your help Sam XX
