I'm an eventer and I ride a horse with a 'Mohawk' sort.
Would it be acceptable for dressage showing in 3DE or ODEs?
Also, would it be acceptable for dressage showing? Here is a picture of what it looks like.
I'm just wondering if its acceptable! (The horse is trained 2nd level.)
Are you trying to grow it out? If not, I would shape it to taper into the neck at the top and bottom and shorten it just a bit.
I knew of an Elite Hannoverian stallion that showed Grand prix with a roached mane. There is no problem with it, other than folks who are less worldly may not understand.
It depends on the sanctioning of the shows you are in. Most dressage shows and rules specify that you must braid the mane. If the mane is completely roached with not enough hair to braid, then it is ok, but a mane of the length that you posted should be braided.
Doing something like this is a good compromise as well:
I believe that according to the rule book, if your horse has a mohawk, you have to do your freestyle to an alternative rock or heavy metal song. And instead of saluting the judge, you have to stick out your tongue and give the KISS "rock on" hand gesture.
For dressage, the mane must be plaitted. If you don't want to or can't plait it, then hogging is acceptable too.
