for your turnout and appearance, do you mean?

the thing that jumps out is lose the coloured numnah. if you wear a numnahs it should be the same colour as our tack - can't see from the pic whether your tack is brown or black. same for gloves - dark brown or black is better.

are you wearing a stock or a tie? tie is correct for showing.

apart from that you look very smart!

the basic things i can see are:
get rid of the numnah, shorten your ponies tail a bit, get rid of the half chaps, brown gloves not blue, if possible get rid of the flash (not too important though).
she/he is a lovely pony!
other then that the other things i can see would only affect you if you went higher then local level, pm me if you want to know!

[briggles]

Hi briggles,
What is the name of your pony and how tall is she? Have you recently bought her?
Looks like a pony we had.
Thanks
Shirley

Why do you think the horse's tail should be shortened? I think a horse's tail should be left the way it is- its natural length. Why mess with it?

[Kanuma]

for showing anything except a M&M, the tail needs to be shortened to balance the entire look and to show off the back legs.

[laura jeanne]

Yes, I figured but I just don't think that we should alter an animal's natural body because we think it should look a certain way. That goes for any animal. Please just ignore this but I just had to say it.

[Kanuma]

simple answer to that one then, dont show!
