i'm talking about little man ( tribble) he is coloured of native type , but he's not a native as far as i can see because he's coloured and only shetlands can be coloured according to breed specs. i want to show him at Royal Cornwall this year so i need to get the details right, also what do i ware?
Tweed or black , rideing hat or nothing and do i need an inhand bridle or can i just use an ordinary bridle and reins? or a bridle and lead chain? Help!!

Always a hat, some kind of hat, any kind of hat! 
I am having this dilemma, do you hogg a X Fjord/Icelandic, she doesn't have an Icelandic mane, or do we pull and plait and try to make the best of a godawful , sticking up fuzz!

pictures? if you can show him as a traditional coloured then they can go all hairy - but they have to have big fat manes, tails and feathers to do this.
what class would you be going in?
tweed, riding hat is fine, riding bridle with reins is fine - never riding bridle with inahnd lead.

Definately plait him, he is not of native or traditional type, more of a hunter pony. Only use an inhand bridle if he is 3 or under, otherwise use a pelham or double bridle with 2 reins to lead from.
