taking our daughter to her first mounted pony club on Saturday - we've been before but unmounted
By hook or by crook we'll get the little man on our box (all pony's hate our box - its an old rice one and they all just hate it )
But we are going with the pony this time!
She gets points for her turnout - she'll get max for those - I will make sure
Tack - she should get high marks for that as I clean the tack every time we use it - the saddle was fitted and its all fairly new, pc approved colours and in tip top condition
so happy about all that
its the pony I am worried about!
He is WHITE - forget that rubbish about pony's being gray, this one is gleaming white - anyone that's seen their pictures knows what I mean
He's out for about 12 hours a day, in at night
At night he is so messy in the stable and poos everywhere and then lies in it so he gets covered in stable stains, apart from where his duvet (ooops - rug) is
In the field he is a mud monster so he's pretty mucky
I can get all the mud off, but I really don't think its reasonable to wash him to get all the stains off him - he will be clean but he won't look it
As long as he is clean, will that be enough or will she get marked down for him being non-white mud sort of colour
if you have a thick haired white pony that's out a lot, you'll know the problem I am talking about
I will groom him obviously and all the mud will be taken off his coat - its the mud and stable stains I am at a loss with
I really am not going to wash him in this weather!
