Attention Horse & Pony Owners!

I already added my horse Ringo in here but I got more pictures of him today so I thought I’d add them.

He’s beautiful!

Awe thanks! He is prettier in the summer though when his hair is shiny.

I may be interested as long as it's in the summer...

It will be in June.

I have 3 pintos (an overo, a tobiano, and a maximum expression sabino with no dark on him) plus my mini who looks like a shag carpet decided to get up and walk around the field... As you can imagine, none are anywhere close to fit to have their pictures taken anytime soon!

I look forward to seeing them!

How strict will the rules be?

Not strict at all.

For example, would a walking horse be ok in a rope halter or would he need to be in a curb bridle?

Any horse in a bridle or halter will be fine.

My stallion would probably go best as a hunter type other than his knee length mane which I am NOT cutting

You will not be penalized for having a hunter with a long mane. However, that long mane should be perfectly groomed.

but the walker gelding is clearly a saddle horse.

Shetlands, Walkers, Quarter Horses, all are welcome, you will be judged how well groomed your horse, cleanliness of your tack, and how well you follow instructions.

Would the handler need to be in show attire or would jeans and a t-shirt be ok?

Since some of the members are minors, I don't think it will be a requirement to have the handler in the photo.

More pictures of Ringo!

Oh man! June is the first of the winter months for me!
also if they have a short mane will it require being done up in rosettes? Because if so, I’m out. It took me 4 hours last time and trust me it’s not worth it lol.

You can still do it! I've shown Welsh ponies in full winter coats! Mane braiding not required.

Yeah the winter coat wasn’t what I was concerned about. Oh thank goodness! No mane braiding. Mine is a welsh cob so his mane is always super thick and he has all his feathers ect.

I have a paint horse with a knot at the end of her mane that I just cannot get out. I don’t want to cut it though since her mane is long and natural and I don’t want to ruin it. Does anyone have Tips for helping get it out? It’s BAD. I’ve tried everything I can do with my hands, but I’ve made no progress.
