My boyfriend is going to show his pony this year, in hand. Neither of us have ever shown in-hand before, so he has no idea and I can't help!
So, some questions I hope you can answer...!!
Pony: I'm guessing very clean, natural mane and tail. Do hooves need oiling? Any recommendations on pony make-up to cover up white marks? Does she need one of those white halters, or a bridle, or...???
Handler: Beige trousers (cords or slacks??), white shirt with discreet overcheck and tie to match? Is that right, and does he need a jacket? Cap? What should he wear on his feet? Does he need a showing cane?
Training: What does the pony need to be able to do? I'm guessing trot away from then to the judge, with the handler by her shoulder. Should the trot be fast and flashy, or more measured, or....? What else will she have to do?
Thank you!
