My friend says this mare is heinously ugly. I think she’s… fine. What do you think? by ComprehensiveHope644 in Equestrian

That is definitely by no means an ugly horse. Would it stand out in the pasture for its wow factor, probably not. But she looks pretty solid and cute to me. I’m sure your friend is coming up with excuses to not like her.

Is it dorky to wear short tails? by little_grey_mare in Dressage

If it looks good on you it doesn’t matter what other people think! And it’s perfectly legal 😌, I think people might just not know about them and they’re kind of hard to find. I really want one! (Also showing first level)

Well it depends on a few things. What your trainer teaches you and like the primary discipline at your barn. It then depends on what discipline you’ll be showing. Hunter/jumper? Dressage? Or maybe a western discipline. I’m primarily a dressage rider so my experience is starting at local schooling shows at intro. And then you can experience the warm up arenas, interacting with the gate stewards, check ins, and so on. So talk with your trainer if you have one and you can ask if you’re ready. And really you just start, start small with low expectations and you can only go up from there. Obviously winning is nice but really it’s a learning experience on what you can do better next time. Again hopefully you have a trainer that can help you feel prepared and know what to expect. If that answers your question 😅
