Pony Show Help

Hey everyone!
I'm looking for some advice. I have been showing my pony in cart classes and I'm wondering how I can improve. He is a Welsh/ Shetland (I think) and not Drafty so I've clipped his fetlocks the last 2 years. Now I wonder if I should leave them long this year. Also some people wear dresses in the Draft classes. I show with a 2 wheel pleasure cart so I didn't think I had to be dressy. Should his mane and tail be natural or braided?
Everyone else in my class drives a Mini so should I go by what they do?
Can you tell I'm clueless?

For starters trim his feathers, in a cart show you need the whole picture to look great. Also, remember they dont just judge the horse, make sure your cart is in top condition aswell.

I don't know a whole lot about driving stuff, but I would do what the other people in your class are doing.

Yes I would braid - at least the mane. I'd clip legs along with face and ears. I would show in at least dress pants and a nice shirt if not a long skirt and a blouse. Presentation is a HUGE part of showing. Not to mention it shows the utmost respect for the judge as well as yourself and horse/pony.
