Rules for Showing |
|
| 1: | Welsh Mountain Ponies should be shown in as natural a state as possible. |
| 2: | Very thick, long manes may be discretely thinned, one long thin plait is usually put at the top of the mane behind the ear, the reason being to show off the line of the throat. |
| 3: | The long hairs under the jaw and those protruding from the ear may be trimmed off - leaving as natural a line as possible, the whiskers around the muzzle may be shortened. |
| 4: | The tail should look natural and should not be “banged” (leveled off square). |
|
