My gelding has rubbed his mane off from sticking his head in fences too much. He had a small patch of hair by the poll so I cut that off because it looked ridiculous and now he basically just has his forelock and half a mane... do you think I should just cut it off? It WAS long and pretty and I wish he hadn't rubbed it off but now it looks funny. What do you think?

Okay, I roached it... but there's nowhere to plug my clippers into so I had to use scissors lol don't worry, I'm a cosmetologist so he's in good hands haha. I left his forelock. So his mane is gonna stick up when it starts to grow out, huh? Oh boy :roll:

Oh I agree. The longest I like is a little past their neck... like what would look good on a Friesian or Andalusian... never that long.

Yeah, I would have done the same, cant wait to see the pictures tho!

Oh and Dumas Grrrl: My trainer just rescued a horse named Dumas and I've heard she's got weight on him and he's a wonderful horse... :) Made me think of you.

Sorry to get off topic.

Well it decided to be freezing and rainy out today so I probably won't get the pictures today... keep in mind that there are no outlets by where I groom him so I had to cut it off with these really really cheap scissors that don't even really work... so it's a little funny looking right now until I get it cleaned up :wink:

will have pics tomorrow
