Any advice for attending my first NA-KWPN keuring?

Question

I am going to my first Keuring in a few weeks and wanted to know if anybody could offer some advice. Are all the mares and foals braided? Do I need to pay a handler for the work in the "oval"? Any advice/tips/info/what to expect would be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

I'm sorry what?

Answer 2

I've never been taught anything about NA-KWPN or keurings, but I did look up some information about them.

http://www.kwpn-na.org/keuring/

That site, the North American KWPN, has a lot of information on the things you are looking for. I assume you already looked there, but just in case, you didn't, that's the link.
