How to fix a messed up mane?

Hey everyone! I have a problem. I recently bought a new horse, however, his mane is two different lengths. According to the old owner, he rubbed his mane raw right in the middle....it's growing back, but that middle section is consequently 3 or 4 inches short than the rest of his mane. It looks......special :D .

Any advice? Thanks in advance!!

it would be easier if someone could physically show you. go get a pair of razor scissors, or a razor knife, they are like 3 bucks. use that to cut the mane, because you dont want it to be a perfect straight line, it'll look silly.

i would just cut it all the same length, then start taking care of it regularly so it grows well. =]
what i do, is put mayonnaise in my horses mane and braid it all up so that it doesn't break off or get pulled out or anything like that.
also MTG is great for growing faster!

Does the Mayo stink?
