Hey all,

Ive never had to clip before (thank goodness hehe!) though now am at the stage where i think Milo needs to be clipped to
1. Look better for showing and
2. Bring out his coat.

He is in general a late coat dropper anyway (last yr had his winter coat until dec/jan i think) and hasnt started to drop coat at the moment (unlike my other 2). The only thing i was wondering was since i show him "natural" eg loose mane and tail, currently with feathers but trimmed ears, whiskers, beard .. would i then HAVE to plait him if he was clipped?

Note he is an arab pony (arab x welsh) and i show him as an "arab" but is unregistered

Thanks in advance.
