Q: Do you have to plait your pony for dressage?
A: In short, no. You don’t ‘need’ to plait your pony for dressage. However, plaiting helps him to show off to the judges and it looks super neat and tidy too. If you’d prefer not to plait, just make sure you both look clean and smart on show day to give yourselves the best chance of making a real nice picture during the test.
