I don't claim to have a huge amount of experience in showing but I do enter the small amateur shows that you are talking about. My experience is that it depends upon the judge and what they like. Some are fairer than others. The best way to find out about your mare, not seeing her go, is to take her to these shows and see how you place. If they are amateur training shows then you could talk to the judge as well and see what he/she says about your horse. Also, find a coach and get their opinion as well.

Hi! iam lindsay and have the same problem with my app mare. So, I took a crop that reached her forlock and held it there the whole time riding. Whenever she lifted her head really high it gently taped her. She tried to not put her head up so high to avoid the crop.
This has worked wonders for me and hopfully for you in the future! Thanks! Lindsay
