Hello! I recently bought my first shetland colt! He is a yearling, and I believe is a Classic. I want to show him in Aug, however have several questions!?
Do you wear the same attire as minis?
For classics do you put the ribbions in their hair? I think moderns you do.
Do they do the same as miniatures? I thought I hear they work the rail, what does this mean?
Do they just wear an arabian style halter, or need something different?
Do you clip? Leave in full coat?
Do you black their hoofs are leave natural?
Do ya'll find shetlands are harder to condition the minis? He is staying a little thin for my liking. I am gradually putting a little more food in his feed pan, but he seems to stay somewhat thin? Could it be his age?
Ok, so I know, TONS of questions.
Any advice on starting out?
THANKS!
I love my new guy and can't wait to get started, I just have tons of newbie questions, so thought, what better place to ask then here?
