Clip all the white. Use a size 10 blade, and do it a week or 2 before the show. Sometimes I do the brown legs too, like right now when they're not shed out completely. I go to the pastern, and up around the back of the fetlock in sort of a triangle shape, then blend (by turning the clippers so the blade points down) with the rest of the hair. Make sure your horse's legs are clean and your blades are sharp, and do lots of short strokes so you don't get track marks.

We usually use.... corn starch, baby powerd, white touch up spray. We also wrap the legs at night with quilts and bandages to keep them whiter overnight.
