I don't show or anything and I don't want to make it short. He is a QH x Warmblood and has a long man and forelock. I've already moved his bridle path a little more forward to reduce the amount of forelock he has. But his mane is OUT OF CONTROL! I swear he has enough for 3 horses! I don't know what I can do without ruining it. Any help or suggestions is appreciated! I can even get pictures up too if you want to see.

I understand that. which is why I don't want to ruin it. He's only 4 and has a mane like this, I got lucky. But with the fuzz it just gets so out of control. He is in pasture 24/7 so that doesn't help. But the middle section is horribly thick. Are you talking about the thinning scissors??

ohh that stuff is amazing and PLEASE donate some of that lovely mane to my poor girls even though the colour wouldnt match any of them lol. I never though of thinning sheers, i guess that would work duh *face palm*

Not sure if you live in the US.. but my mare has a mane, tail and forelock like that..... I use a human product called " Silkworks " and it's just amazing !!.. use it after a bath, while M,T,F is still damp and pour a decent amount in your palms and rub it deep in, you can NOT over do it, will never look oily... you'll be able to comb out without any knot's or pulling and it STAY'S for weeks ! no frizz and you can also use it dry for the in-between bath time's...Also add's moisture and shine... simply wonderful stuff....Kinda like Bio_Frizzk, but a fraction of the cost... you can get it at just about any Walgreen's, Walmart ( cheapest )... that sorta place... It's great for your hair and skin too !

I just had to say that his mane is stunning! And the horse underneath is rather pretty as well :). I LOVE how it looks with the top half braided, very nice indeed. Anyway, I would suggest thinning it by pulling it or using thinning sheers. I know what it's like to have a horse with a big mane. My 2 year old has a long thick mane. Yeah, it's gorgeous, but it's a LOT of upkeep if I don't want it to turn into dreads LOL.

I want to say that I officially hate you. (Nah just envy your horse really) How could anyone be upset with a mane like that....I can only wish my boys was that gorgeous...

Don't use thinning shears because when the hair grows back, it's not pretty. The short hair growing back with stand up when growing making the mane look yucky. Just put in some maintenance braids, though they mane cause some hair breakage. He has a beautiful mane, I personally would leave it alone.
