I don't know the rules for your part of the world but over here showing Mountain and Moorland breeds the rules are Shown in the natural state, of course that means hours of fussing over manes and tails but making sure it doesn't look like you have! people trim the coronet band etc but you have to just make it look natural cutting whiskers off the face is frowned upon, they are there as you say for a good reason my fjord has actually been kicked out of the ring for having a clipped mane in a M&M class . he was allowed back in after I had a word with the judge, who had only seen fjords before in Scotland and they all have long manes up there! Happy Fjording fiona nicholson Yorkshire, England.
