I made a thread for this on HGS.. but maybe you guys will enjoy it too? Please share your mane or tail growth pics too!

When I got Penny, she had just grown out her mane after she rubbed it off in one section. I keep her mane braided now because she gets sooo sweaty when it's down. I took it out today to redo it and it was wet from just hosing her down so it was straight and HOLY COW it's grown! I got her last October and the before pic is from then.

Before: (october 2009)


Now: (kinky form braids)


Now: (hosed to make straight)



All braided up again:


Forelock before: (was thinned to make less frizzy I think)


Forelock now:

helovesus, nope I just keep it braided when it gets hot out and because it's always in braids I hardly ever brush it.

btw- Welcome to the forum!! :)

I tend to be fairly breed specific when it comes to manes - your mare can pull it off, being a thinner straight mane it looks good, but my Paint filly got hers pulled and I'm STILL not happy with it - I'm seriously considering hogging it. It's so thick, and I don't do pulled manes (I have Arabs remember?!) so now I've messed up a section.

Long manes on Arabs all the time, although I did hog my gelding's mane when he pulled half of it out! He had a hideous mane for an Arab anyway!

She looks good, fantastic growth!
