Hi,
Martie and Kilar here in beautiful breezy MD.
We plan to go to a CDE next week and I am wondering about Kilar's mane. I
have it 'roached' like a normal Fjord mane (with the black a little longer than
the white) except just over the withers. I have been leaving this piece longer
to
act as a sort of pad/cushion when I drive with the work harness (I normally use
the work harness for fun drives). Since I will be using a light show harness
for
the CDE, do I need to trim the 4 inches or so of long stripey looking mane on
the
withers? How many presentation points would it be likely to cost us at
training
level? The longer hair will be much more visible with the lighter harness, but
I
hesitate to take off the cushion then go back to using the work harness and make
him a sore spot. I can't use a pad with the collar I have because it fits too
well -it is perfect with no room for padding.
thanks for any opinions,
Martie
