Hey,
I bought my first miniature horse November 13, 2011. I decided that I would really like to show Eowyn (my mini) next summer (2013). I have showed my horse (non mini) in showmanship but that was mandatory for 4-H and I didn't really know what I was doing XD.
So if any of you could tell me what you do before and during shows/during the pattern. (like what side to stand on and when to switch sides) When do I give her a bath before the show. How do I keep her clean (and her tail) How do I trim her forelock and how far back do I shave her mane? How do I keep her mane on one side her neck? What are some improvements I can make on her to make her look good? Any other tips?
Thank you so much. =)
I was going to post pics of her but they won't upload so Here's her description;
She is a 2 year old filly, shes a brown and white pinto. (She's in my avatar) She is 34 inches tall. She has all white hooves. Her mane and tail are all white and her forelock is brown. I will buy her a show halter soon. I named her Lil' Eowyn Irene--is that fine for her show name? (Shes not registered but she has papers to be registered) I know its a cheesy name but I feel like I can't change it now XD
Thank you so much for your help and any info would be great. =)
