I was wondering about this, and then lyn mentioned Hattie shedding out slick on her own...
I've always loved Mingus' natural coat, and showed him this last weekend without clipping, but then he was nothing but a blur in the show ring, LOL!
After studying the Shetlands at this show, I'm certain Mingus' breeding is Shetland, and I want to play this up, as I believe it is a real asset.
So, are you clipping your double registered show horses? Mini or Shetland coat? And are you showing them in Shetland shows as well as AMHR?
Also, does anyone use a Shetland halter, or even a closed ring leather halter with an added browband? We tried one on him this past weekend, and it looked great on him.
I have to add that watching Modern Shetland Liberty, I fell totally in love. I had to pick my jaw up out of the dirt and wipe the drool off my chin! I'm not crazy about all the shoeing that goes with them, but WOW -- I guess I just love an arrogant horse, especially one that is of a height where they can look me in the eye...
